After Bar Council of India objected to the conduct of law examinations before resumption of physical classes, IP University has decided to rethink its strategy. The university has said it will take a call after October 21 as the matter is in court.
In its general body meeting on October 5, BCI said its circular and press releases had “clearly spelled out that no physical exams were to be held till phusical reopening of colleges, which should only re-open after the crisis of pandemic is averted.”
The directions were also issued to promote all the students except those in the final year to ensure that classes for the next academic session would begin, it added. Promoting intermediate students are regularized by adding a clause that exams should be held within a month of re-opening of colleges, BCI has clarified. Prodyut Bhattacharya, the controller of examinations at IP University, said “we will wait for now as there is a court hearing on October 21 where our counsel would place the university’s view.”
The university has a plan to start a examination on November 2, “which would have better as otherwise students will have to sit for two semester exams in December”, he said. “We had decided on a two hour exam as an arrangement for the Covid 19 precautions.”
Bhattacharya claimed that the decision was taken after BCI had said that “exams should be conducted”. The official was referring to a June 9 circular of BCI stating that all students, except final year ones, will be promoted on the basis of previous years exams and the marks obtained in the internal examination of the current year. It had also clarified physical examinations would be held only after opening of the colleges/ universities.

Maharashtra National Law University, Aurangabad is going to organize a webinar on “Economic Analysis and the Premises of Contract and Tort Doctrine”
About the Speaker
Professor Stearns, Venable, Baetjer & Howard Professor of Law at the University Of Maryland Carey School Of Law, is an interdisciplinary scholar. He applies the methodologies of economics, broadly defined, to study private and public law, along with institutional decision-making processes.
His work combines such tools as neoclassical economics, interest group theory, social choice, and game theory, among others, to study legal doctrines and lawmaking systems. Much of his work centers on structural aspects of constitutional decision making in the Supreme Court, along with such specific doctrines as standing, the commerce clause, and equal protection.
His most recent book, Law and Economics: Private and Public (West Academic 2018) (with Todd Zywicki and Tom Miceli), comprehensively applies a broad range of economic methodologies to subject matters across the law school curriculum.
The Leave is granted Feeling aggrieved and dissatisfied with the impugned order passed by the Madurai Beach of the Madras High Court, by which the High Court has released the appellant on default bail, on condition to deposit rs.8,00,000/- before the learned Judicial Magistrate, Nagercoil, Kanyakumari district, the original accused has preferred present appeals. That the appellant herein was arrested and remanded to the judicial custody for the offences punishable under section 420 on the file of the D.C.B. Police Station, Kanyakumari District. That the appellant herein filed an application before the learned Judicial Magistrate seeking bail under Section 437 Cr.p.c That the wife of the appellant filed an affidavit before the learned Magistrate and assured to pay 7,00,000/- and the balance amount to be paid against the alleged amount of Rs. 15,67,338/-. Therefore by order, the learned Magistrate released the appellant on bail on the conditions stated in the said order. One of the condition was directing the appellant to deposit money in the court, and the balance amount was directed to be deposited.
The appellant approached the High Court and prayed to release the appellant on default bail. It was the case on behalf of the appellant that non-deposit of any amount which was required to be deposited pursuant to the order passed by the learned magistrate, imposed while releasing the appellant on regular bail.., shall not come in the way of the appellant accused in getting default bail. It was submitted that the default bail is mandatory bail, provided the conditions in Section 167 Cr.P.C are satisfied i.e. investigation is not completed and the charge sheet is not filed by the investigation agency within the time stipulated. The High Court by the impugned judgment and order accepted the same, however, considering the earlier undertaking given by the wife of the appellant in the court of the learned magistrate while considering the bail application, to deposit money, while releasing the appellant on default bail, the High Court has imposed the condition that the appellant shall deposit sum before the learned magistrate. That thereafter, the appellant preferred application before the High Court to modify condition by which the appellant was directed to deposit amount before the learned Judicial Magistrate and the appellant was directed to report before Judicial Magistrate and the appellant was directed to report before the concerned police station until further orders for interrogation. By the impugned order, The High Court has dismissed the said application for modification observing that earlier wife of the appellant filed affidavit before the learned magistrate. And the alleged are not required to be modified. Hence, the present appeals.
The bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan, MR Shah and Subhash Reddy was considering a petition filed by the father- in- law who claimed that the suit property is exclusively owned by him and was not a shared household. His son, it was contended, had no right in the property. The appellant had purchased a property in 1983. In 1995, his son got married and started staying on the first floor with his wife. In 2014, the husband filed for divorce alleging cruelty by the wife. In 2015, the wife filed a case against her husband, father –in-law and mother- in- law under the Domestic Violence Act. However in the trial court, the father- in- law stated that he and his wife were victims of domestic violence by the daughter-in-law and that he had no duty to maintain the daughter – in- law when the husband was alive.
The daughter in law had claimed that she cannot be removed from the house as it was a shared household, and that she had a right to reside therein. The trial court in April 2019 granted asked the daughter- in- law to handover possession of the property to the appellant.
In an appeal against this order, the Delhi High Court set aside the trial court decree and sent the matter back for fresh adjudication in December 2019. The High Court also noted that the husband needed to be made a party to the case. Thus, the father- in- law approached the Supreme Court against this order, seeking that the trial court verdict be upheld.
The primary contention of the father- in- law stemmed from the verdict of the Supreme Court Bench of Justices SB Sinha and Markandey katju in SR Batra and Anr.v. Taruna Batra, where it was held that since the house belongs to the mother-in-law of the wife and does not belong to the husband, the wife cannot claim any right to live in the said house.
However, overruling the SR Batra verdict, the present Bench held that “shared household referred to in Section 2(s) is the shared household of aggrieved person where was living at the time”. It was stated that, “the definition of shared household given in Section 2 (s) cannot be read to mean that shared household can only be that household which is household of the joint family of which husband is a member or in which husband of the aggrieved person has ashare.
The pendency of proceedings under Domestic Violence Act, or any order interim or final passed under the DV Act under Section 19 regarding right of residence is not an embargo for initiating or continuing any civil proceedings, which relate to the subject matter of order interim or final passed in proceedings under the DV Act.
The bench went on to highlight the precarious position of women in Indian society, and the reasons why domestic violence cases go unreported. “ the domestic violence in this country is rampant and several women encounter violence in some form or the other or almost everyday. The reason why most cases of domestic violence are never reported is due to the social stigma of the society and the attitude of the women themselves, where women are expected to be subservient , not just to their male counterparts but also to the male’s relatives.
Thus Court overruled the SR batra verdict, where it was held that if the house belongs to the mother- in- law of the wife and does not belong to the husband, the wife cannot claim any right to live in the said house.

Debashish Kumar Panda & Ors v. National Law University, Delhi & Ors.
A petition has been filed by the students of University Law College, Bhubaneswar in Delhi High Court for disclosure of records and marks of the participants in the memorial round of the Moot Court Competition organised by NLU-D for celebrating the 70th Constitution Day.
The petitioners submitted that they duly registered themselves and submitted their memorials on time. The Petitioners followed all the rules of the Moot Court as mentioned in the Rules and Regulations & ‘Mooting Manual’ as was released by the coordinating and organizing University: National Law University -Delhi.
It is alleged by the Petitioners that they received an email from the Organizing Committee NLU-Delhi informing them about their selection in the list of Top 24 teams and their eligibility to participate in the oral rounds.
It is further stated that on 08.10.2020 an email was received by the Petitioners from the Organizing Committee of the Moot Court stating that “there was an error with respect to the scores and the final list of 24 teams will be released on 09.10.2020.”
Petitioners received an email on 09.10.2020 wherein the petitioner’s team was not included in the list of shortlisted teams. The petitioners then wrote emails to the Organizing Committee requesting them to clarify on which ground their team has been disqualified and to kindly disclose the marks immediately. However, the Organizing committee chose not to respond to the email of the Petitioner. The petitioners then approached the office of Vice-Chancellor and Registrar but received no reply.
The petitioners contended that “the action and inaction of the Respondents areunjust, unfair and violative of the principles of natural justice. There was no error on part of the Petitioners. They acted with due care. They timely registered themselves andsubmitted the memorials on time. Since the Petitioners have registered and duly submitted the Moot Court memorials on time as per the rules of the Moot Court Competition, the Petitioners have the right to know the marks obtained by them in such memorials.”
The petitioners submitted that because the Moot Court plays an important role while getting placements in any law firm, corporate and other places, the Petitioners have invested two months of hard work and dedication for preparing for the said Moot Court Competition and not getting even a chance to appear in the oral rounds of the said Moot Court Competition because of the unknown reason is unjust and unfair. The Petitioners could have invested the said time and energy in preparation for another Moot Court Competition or writing a research paper which would have helped them in their career prospects.
The petitioners further contended that no reasons were given for rejecting the petitioners and that “the Respondents No. 1-4 have failed to give cogent reasons for disqualifying the Petitioners and the exact reason for disqualification instead they have chosen to reject the Petitioners team arbitrarily by simply mentioning that it is human or technological error, meaning thereby that even the Respondents No. 1-4 are unaware of the reasons for rejecting the Petitioners who were selected in the 24 shortlisted teams out of the 115 teams.”
The petitioners alleged that since the Moot Court is to be held virtually, no grave inconveniences would be caused to the Respondents No. 1-4 in accommodating the Petitioners since it is not a physical moot court, the Respondents No. 1-4 need not arrange additional infrastructure and will not incur extra/additional expenditure on food, accommodation, travel etc.
“The theme of this Moot Court Competition is ‘Kartavya’ (Duty) and the Organizing Committee failed in their Kartavya/duty to maintain transparency. Non-disclosure of the marks obtained by the Petitioner gives an impression that the error is not a genuine one.”
The petitioners seek that the Hon’ble HC allow the Petitioners to appear in the oral rounds of the Moot Court Competition and direct the Respondents to produce the records before the Court and apprise the Petitioners their marks obtained.
