ABOUT

immense happiness to announce that the 5Th KIIT National Mock Trial Competition
(KNMTC), 2019 is being organized by School of Law, KIIT University, and from 5thApril
2019- 7thApril 2019. It deserves mention that last year we organized the 4TH National Mock
Trial Competition and it was a huge success! Our law school is one of the most vibrant law
departments in India, with the students actively engaged in multifarious academic as well as
clinical education programs. We realized that strong advocacy skills, ability to think logically
and objectively and neat draftsman ship are part and parcel of a world class legal education.
With that aim in mind the Law schools have formulated the Trial Advocacy and Appellate
Society (TAAS). Our students had in the past participated enthusiastically in different such
Trial Advocacy competitions across the country, wherein they have won laurels and
appreciation. So, now it is our turn to give a platform to the maximum number of students in
the campus to witness the advocacy skills of fellow students and being judged by eminent

CASE STUDY
Starwalker’s City is a District in the northern Trindia and is also the capital city of Trindia.
Trindia follows a Constitution pari materia with to the Constitution of India, 1950. All other
laws of Trindia are also pari materia to that of India, and have the same nomenclature and
were passed in the same year as India.
Mr. Tridev Shukla aged about 46, is working as the Deputy Commissioner of Police of the
Starwalker’s City police administration. One Ms. Sitara Nayak contacts Tridev Shukla
sometime in the month of October, 2012, asking him to talk to a Property Dealer and mediate
on her and her family’s behalf for a property. She tells Mr. Shukla that in the month of April,
2012 the Property Dealer Mr. Siddhajeet Sandhu took approximately Rs. 5,00,00,000/- for a
property situated at a prime location in Starwalker’s city.
Mr. Tridev Shukla thinking of the bad financial position of Sitara Nayak’s family agreed to
broker an agreement between Mr. Sandhu and Ms. Nayak. It is pertinent to mention that
however even after Mr. Shukla exercising his influence as a Police Official, no agreement
could be brokered between the concerned people. On the contrary, Ms. Nayak started to
allege that Mr. Shukla took a bribe of Rs. 10,00,000/- from Sandhu to sweep the matter under
the carpet.
However, sometime in the Month of December, 2012 Ms. Nayak’s family called up Mr.
Shukla, asking him to put aside all their differences. After this Mr. Shukla started visiting Ms.
Nayak’s home and it was at this time that Mr. Shukla met Sitara Nayak’s daughter, Wareena
Nayak aged about 16. Ms. Wareena was taking coaching for Trindia Police Services
Examination, in which Mr. Shukla promised to help her. During this time the two began
chatting with each other on a messaging application and also on calls.
5 |KNMTC, 2019


Mr. Shukla has a 7 years old daughter, who studies in 2nd Standard at O.G. Global School and
a wife named Parvati, who is a housewife.
Other than Ms. Wareena Nayak, Ms. Sitara Nayak has a 12 years old son named Riyayat
Nayak, Husband Mr. Brahma Nayak, who runs a Chemist Shop.
It is pertinent to mention that Ms. Wareena Nayak was close friends with one Mr.
Rameshwar Anand, who is the son of Mr. Kedarnath Anand. Mr. Anand lives in the same
vicinity as Mr. Shukla. Mr. Kedarnath Anand was earlier employed with the Starwalker’s
City Police as an Inspector and was removed from the department on charges of corruption.
The complaint of corruption against Kedarnath Anand was filed by Shukla. Further, soon
after Mr. Kedarnath’s removal from the department, Mr. Anand’s wifeMs. Kanyakumari
Anand who also works with the department as an Inspector and reports to Mr. Tridev Shukla
filed a sexual harassmentcomplaint against Mr. Shukla with the Sexual Harassment
Grievances Cell of the Police Department. The said complaint is still pending with the Cell.
Further, on various occasions Mr. Shukla has told Ms. Sitara Nayak that Wareena is
romantically involved with Mr. Rameshwar Anand and he has seen her at the Anand Villa
several times, while Rameshwar’s parents were not home to which Wareena has objected.
Further, Rameshwar once even got into a scuffle with Mr. Tridev Shukla on this issue.
On 27.02.2013, an F.I.R. was registered by Ms. Wareena Nayak alleging aggravated sexual
assault on her person by Mr. Shukla.

Statements under Section 161 CrPC
a. Investigating Officer (Phul Kumari Jaiswal)
From the investigation it seems that Mr. Shukla committed rape, as Wareena was able
to identify the place of rape, Mr. Shukla’s bedroom etc. Additionally, Mr. Shukla has
confessed in 161 statement before me that he committed rape.
b. Accused
I called Wareena at around 1300 hrs and said that I have prepared some history notes
for her and I am coming to handover those notes near her coaching at District Centre
which is nearby my house. I told her that the notes are at my place and asked her to
come with me. Firstly, she was reluctant to go to my place, but then I insisted her to
come with me. At my place I offered her a cup of tea and intoxicated her and
committed rape. I am sorry, I made a mistake please forgive me.
c. Victim
13 |KNMTC, 2019


to him regarding what has happened. AS soon as my brother And mother had come, I
people came.
d. Constable 1 Mahesh
confessed in 161 statement before I.O. that he committed rape.
e. Constable 2 Ramesh
confessed in 161 statement before I.O. that he committed rape. I took the accused for
MLC and also arrested him from his house.
Further, anyways Mr. Shukla has been a man of lose character. His reputation is not
good in the department. He has molested many of my colleagues before.
f. Sitara Nayak
On 27.02.2013, I came home and found that Shukla was trying to force himself upon
my daughter. We tried to talk to him but he ran away. In the morning only that day
14 |KNMTC, 2019


our daughter had told us about the incident on 07.02.2013. We are very disappointed.
We took Wareena for MLC along with the I.O.
We never thought Shukla would do such a thing.
g. Riyayat Nayak
On 27.02.2013, I came home along with my mother and found that Shukla was trying
to force himself upon my sister. I had a scuffle with him but he ran away somehow.
h. Brahma Nayak
On 27.02.2013, I came home and nobody from my family was at home before I
arrived and I found that Shukla was trying to force himself upon my sister. I had a
scuffle with him but he ran away somehow.
i. Parvati Shukla
My husband is a reputed police man. He is aka Singham of Starwalker’s City. He
would never do such uncalled-for behavior. I think my husband is being framed at the
instance of Mr. Kedarnath and also because he told Sitara about Wareena’s affair with
Rameshwar.
He himself has a daughter and loves her a lot.
Yes, I was not at home on 07.02.2013.
j. Rameshwar Anand
Mr. Shukla is not a man of honor. He has sexually assaulted my mother once, against
which my mother filed a complaint.
He used to harass Wareena and I went to Wareena’s coaching on 07.02.2013, but
Wareena was not there and was not even at her home.
I met her on 08.02.2013, where she told me that Shukla raped her.
15 |KNMTC, 2019


k. Kedarnath Anand
I have known Shukla for quite some time now. He is not a good man. He has tried
to molest my wife. It is very much possible that he committedrape on innocent
Wareena owing to some tension between her family and him some time ago.
l. Kanyakumari Anand
Sometime back Shukla ji molested me and when I protested, he told me that ‘I got
your husband out of the department, I can do the same with you’. He is not a good
man and Wareena told me the truth the next day itself. There have been scuffles
between my son and Mr. Shukla.
m. Commissioner of Police (Starwalker’s City)

(In-Charge Police Control Room)
Mr. Shukla is currently Second in Command at Police Control Room. He was on duty
till 1400 hrs on 07.02.2013 and it takes him around 20 mins to reach his home.
