From The Desk Of Principal Our approach to National Moot Court Programme is to select topics of current social relevance. The idea behind this is to create an atmosphere to show that difficult, controversial, emotional, social problems and legal problems can be discussed reasonably rationally and dispassionately in a Court room and even outside. As Court is a dialogue-engaging institution where two parties through their lawyers can argue the legal and social problems calmly, rationally and without passion. We emphasize upon 3 things- Philosophy of Law, Legal Techniques and Legal Reasoning and awareness of the Socio-economic problems of the country and the world. To this end, we have developed a program of regular problem oriented lectures by our academic staff and by other experts, regular weekly group discussion on socially relevant subjects, seminars workshops and Moot courts for our students. As a part of this program, we decided to host and organize the National Moot Court competition. Moot court is an integral part of the legal education through which the students learn the art of law. From the very beginning so that the students learn to understand the problem, to find out the relevant law, to draft the pleadings, to argue before the court persuasively and to assist the court in doing justice. We need lawyers “Not only with great minds but with great hearts. Our humble effort is to teach our students how to use law as an instrument of social engineering in order to protect and promote the basic values, ideals and principles of our Constitution. With this in mind we are organizing the First National Moot Court on 20th– 21stof April, 2019. We cordially invite you to participate in Mewar National Moot Court Competition.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

Statement Of Problem
The Free State of Vola constitutes the largest democracy in the
world. The Free State of Vola shares its boundaries with seven other
democracies having amiable and strong trade relations amongst
them. However, Vola shares an unpleasant relation with the
neighbouring State of Ura, on account of continued turbulences,
caused by various terrorist groups, financially supported by the
stratocracy of Ura. Evidently, the Government of Ura indulged in the
creation of an environment of hostility amongst the people residing
in the bordering regions of Vola by circulating take currency notes
amongst those people, instigating them to promote internal
disturbance. The policy of the Free State of Vola was largely
dominated by the Left learning political party. The Dothraki Dal, for
almost six decades. In the year 2014, the State witnessed an era of
revolution, fostering in, for the very first time, a Right learning
political party, The Free Folk of Vola, which swept the legislative
assembly elections with an unimpeded majority. The nation looked
up to this political party with a hope that it will rejuvenate the
dampened fire of the Free State by eradicating corruption, the
nation's oldest and most menacing dread. The citizens drew a lot of
inspiration from the current Prime Minister, Mr. Arthur Philip, a well
recognised World Leader.
Mr. Philip started taking necessary steps to eradicate the problems
of the nation from the very inception of his administration. The

Prime Minister aimed at making the Free State of Vola a Super-
Power. Subsequently, the Prime Minister emphasized on
strengthening the political and economic relations of the nation
with the other states. After a proper analysis and profound
deliberation, the Philip administration came to a conclusion that the
goal of eradication of corruption can only be achieved by severing
its roots which are dug deep inside the nation itself. Finally, on
October 20, 2016, after two years of successful and efficient
administration. Philip came up with a strategy to tackle both
corruption and terrorism with a single blow by the way of
demonetization. This scheme of demonetization was given effect by
ceasing the usage of all Rs.500 and Rs.1000 currency notes as a form
of valid legal tender. It was officially declared that the citizens may
exchange their Rs.500 and Rs.1000 currency notes with currency
notes of smaller denominations which would continue to serve as
valid legal tender, through any nationalized bank or any equivalent
financial institution within December 31, 2016. In the meanwhile, the
Government shall circulate newly minted currency notes of higher
denominations which would also serve as valid legal tender. The
said strategy in the first case, targeted the unaccounted money in
possession of the tax-evading citizens. Formidable, this move would
also render the take currencies obsolete which sponsored terrorism.
However, the surprise move the Government of demonetize
currency notes of Rs.500 and Rs.1000 led to a situation of hue and
cry as it caused large scale mayhem and life threatening difficulties
to the citizens. Mr. John Dann, a public spirited Advocate stated that
"The decision of the government has adversely affected 1.25 Billion
citizens who are clueless about running their day-to-day life till the
period during which the transition from specified bank notes to new
bank notes takes place. People are standing in long queues outside
banks or ATMs for the entire day or subsequent days, affecting their
work or trade, to obtain legitimate currency notes. There are still
many who are unable to withdraw or obtain legitimate currency. The
whole situation is pressurizing the banking industry, financial
institutions and the common mass." Hence, he brought a PIL against
the action of the Government challenging its constitutional validity

as it resulted in the infringement of right to life, trade, livelihood,
existence, business, education, etc.
The Constitution and laws of India are mutatis mutandis applicable
to the Free State of Vola. State of Vola follows Indian laws.
