PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Spiritually, it is believed that the life on the earth is regulated by the

laws of the Lord or Divinity. It is the ‘rule of law’ that draws the essential

difference between human society and the animal world. The legal

education plays an important role in promoting the social justice as Law

professionals are characterized as ‘Social Engineers’. Our College is

greatly revered for organising National Level Moot Court Competitions &

Client Counselling Competitions and this year we have decided to

combine it together into a Law Festival. Thus, it gives me immense

pleasure to introduce our National Level Law Fest – Legis Centrum.

K. C. Law College, Mumbai was established under the aegis of the HSNC

Board. Over the years, it has been recognized and ranked as one of the

leading law Colleges in the country.

When mind comes together it catalyzes great thoughts and creates a unique

experience which is ‘Legis Centrum’. The Fest is aimed to develop

knowledge, awareness of legal implications, communications and

management skills etc. of all the students. I hope that this Fest would be

much information and fruitful to all participants, since it will give an

opportunities for students to develop their level of confidence to work in

LETTER TO THE CHIEF JUSTICE COMPETITION

Date: 23rd March, 2019

“Letter to the Chief Justice” Competition is an event which is inspired by

cases where concerned members of civil society in India wrote to the Chief

Justices of various High Courts or the Supreme Court, on Inland Letters or

post cards, to draw attention to pressing issues. These letters were later

converted into writ Petitions/SLPs. One such case is that of D. K. Basu and

Others v/s State of West Bengal & Others, wherein D. K. Basu attached a

newspaper article to an inland letter and sent it to the Chief Justice of

Calcutta High Court, to bring light to the issue of custodial deaths. On

similar line, we have conceived this event, which entails writing a letter to

the Chief Justice of India on an inland letter.

General Rules:

1) Each team will comprise of 2 participants.

2) The topic for the letter will be disclosed 15 minutes before the start of the

competition, at the venue.

3) A blank Inland Letter will be provided to the participants at the time of

the competition.

4) The letter should be hand written in English.

5) Participating teams should enter only their team code in the space

provided for the address on Inland Letter provided to them.

6) The time allotted to write the letter will be 1 hour.

Guidelines for writing the letter:

1) Avoid excessive use of legal terms. Participants should keep in mind that

this is a method of appeal used by the common man.

2) Clean and legible handwriting is welcome.

3) The letter should be formulated so as to emphasize the larger public

interest of the given topic.

13th NATIONAL LEVEL MOOT COURT COMPETITION, 2019

Moot Court Problem

Akash Talreja has businesses across five countries which requires him to

travel frequently. His wife, Tina Talreja is a former super model and

socialite. After three years of marriage, Akash was desirous of having a

child. However, the couple was unable to have a child. On seeking medical

advice and after medical examination, it was learned that due to a genetic

condition, Tina was infertile and would not be able to carry the baby.

As Akash continued to be keen to have a child, Akash and Tina sought the

assistance of medical experts at ISK fertility clinic. Akash and Tina were

advised that they could opt for surrogacy and the surrogate mother would

also be the egg donor. Akash and Tina completed all the formalities and

agreed to bear all the medical and other expenses involved. Anjali Menon,

the proposed surrogate, was contacted and treatment commenced. Akash

and Tina would regularly contact Anjali to enquire about her health and the

health of the baby. After seven months and one week of the pregnancy,

Akash and Tina informed ISK fertility clinic and Anjali that they had

divorced and were no longer desirous of going ahead with the pregnancy.

While they did not disclose the reasons leading upto their divorce, they

stated that as a result of their divorce, they may not now be able to provide

an environment conducive to the well-being of the baby. As the eighth

month had commenced and it was a matter of weeks before the child would

be born, it was uncertain what effect such termination of pregnancy would

have on the health of Anjali. On 1st January, 2019, Baby Q was born in

Bluebell Hospital. Both, Akash and Tina refused to take Baby Q. Baby Q

continues to be in the care of the Bluebell Hospital.

Baby Q, through Anjali, ISK fertility clinic and Bluebell Hospital have jointly

filed a public interest litigation against Akash, Tina and the State to not only

protect the rights of Baby Q but also to seek the intervention of the highest

court in framing guidelines to protect and ensure that no more babies suffer

the same fate as Baby Q.

Issues framed
