INTRODUCTION

This report examines the Internship program with Advocate VIJAY GUPTA (Tis
Hazari Court). My internship started from 1st February to 4th May 2018, has
immensely been a commendable learning experience for me. The internship delivered
me insight look of the society through the medium of court practice, where I dealt
with people directly to look into their problems under the guidance of my senior and
other associates with the help of them I was able to complete my internship with an
excellent learning experience. I visited different District courts as per the different
matters fixed in courts in daily routine. Where I got an opportunity to appear before
the Hon’ble Judges and Magistrates and also to interact with the prisoners and to
know the reason for the commitment of their crime with prisoner’s that seek to utilize
the rehabilitative opportunities. Imprisonment offers, combining it with the essential
restorative justice a meeting between offender, victim and community.

The weakness is not in the system but the weakness is in the application of system.
The judiciary system and various authorities have been set up with the vision to
correct the application of system. They thus, not only help in providing justice to the
needy but consequently they also help in restoring faith of the oppressed towards the
legal system.

IMPORTANCE OF LEGAL INTERNSHIPS

Internship is an important part of academic curriculum because they help one gain
practical knowledge and experience required to excel in their respective fields. Legal
internships are not an exception to this rule. Legal internships help law students
decide their respective areas of interest out of a plethora of opportunities offered by
legal education be it a career in a corporate law firm, litigation, academics or working
for NGOs.

1. Internship is one of the modes of practical training in the sphere of legal


education. Apart from the moots, legal aid and legal writing it forms the
core component of practical acquisition and assimilation of law teaching
syllabus for the students.

2. The process of internship provides the students with an opportunity to study


and examine the structure and behavior of organizations. It shows to them
the nature of legal framework of the institutions and concerned issues.
Students get the benefit of an exposure to law in action rather than law in
books (as acquired in class rooms) and thus help them in due acquisition of
legal expertise.

Legal services are the tenth most popular field choice in our Student Internship
Program. Each year, a few dozen students from political science, law, and other
majors do short term internships in law.

Placements can be anywhere from criminal law firms, to the Department of Justice.
Here’s an excerpt from a recent Internship Report.

Importance of legal internships can be summarized through following threefold


points:

 Internship provides a platform for practical application of classroom


knowledge.

 Legal Internships helps in gaining practical skills and hence gives an edge in
the job market.

lOMoARcPSD|3893350

 Internship assists in choosing respective area of interest and hence in


specialization

Legal internships are primarily research and drafting oriented.

Research: Research constitutes an important aspect of any internship whether it is a


law firm or a court internship. Hence one needs to be well acquainted with various
legal research tools, the prominent being Manupatra, Lexis Nexis, Westlaw etc.

Drafting: Drafting skills require lots of hard work and patience. One needs to be well
versed with the various drafting specimens and formatting skills in order to undertake
and complete such assignments properly. Apart from these, assignments may include
proof reading of various legal documents, observance of court proceedings, making
notes on various legal issues etc. and other tasks depending on the nature of the
internship.

Daily internship duties

1. Supporting the lawyers that come into the office and program. Sitting in on
meetings and appointments and offering and required assistance.

2. Office type organizational work- photocopying, organizing papers, keeping


files in order, organizing the desk

3. Reading any suggested law related materials for my own benefit

4. Helping clients if possible and if I am able to since I don’t know much about
the field yet.

5. Talking to various lawyers in our office

REPORT ON COURT EXPERIENCE

The internship programme with ADV. VIJAY GUPTA started from 1st February to 4th
May 2018 has been an immensely commendable experience for me.

District court is the base without which superior judiciary cannot stand. It is the court
of original jurisdiction. No one except in case of breach of fundamental rights can
directly approach high court and Supreme court without approaching the District and
Session court. In High courts and supreme court both the civil and criminal cases are
heard. The structure of Lower judiciary in Indian judicial system hierarchy is divided
into two parts one is District court which deals with civil cases and the other is
Session court which deals with criminal cases. This difference is more for theoretical
understanding of the Heirarchy, though in reality the judges for both district and
session can be same. The District Courts are at the top of all the subordinate or lower
courts. They are however under the administrative control of the High Court of the
State to which the district court belongs to. Their jurisdiction is confined to the
districts they are responsible for, which could be just one or more than one. The
original jurisdiction of the District Courts in civil matters is confined by not just the
territorial limitations, but by pecuniary limitations as well. The pecuniary limitations
are laid down by the legislature and if the amount in dispute in a matter is way above
the pecuniary jurisdiction of the District Court, then the matter will be heard by the
concerned High Court of that State. In case of criminal matters, the jurisdiction of the
courts is laid down by the legislature. The decisions of the District Courts are of
course subject to the appellate jurisdiction of the High Courts. Apart from these
judicial bodies who enforce the laws and rules laid down by the legislature and
executive and also interpret them (the Supreme Court & High Courts), there are
numerous quasi judicial bodies who are involved in dispute resolutions. These quasi
judicial bodies are the Tribunals and Regulators.

GENERAL OBSERVATION OF FUNCTIONING OF


DISTRICT COURT

Functioning of district Court is very important to be understood by a legal practitioner


or an advocate, because it is the first court where a case is first filed and on the
decision of the Trial court, then further appeal is made in higher courts. The plaint
filed in the court is given to the defendant and are asked to appear before the court
with a reply to the plaint. When the defendant comes and files the reply, proceedings
of the case starts. In the proceedings proper system is used and respective courts
arrives with the decision. In case if any of the party is not satisfied with the decision
of the court then it can appeal for it in the higher court. File includes various forms,
brief facts by the plaintiff along with the allegations and prayer to the court, reply to
the allegations and prayer to cancel the case by the defendant, affidavits by both the
parties, recording of the statements of the witnesses and their cross and re-
examinations in civil suits. Now in the case of appeal new file is not formed, the
statements recorded earlier are only relied upon in the higher court though the
unsatisfied party presents the additional grounds in the appeal. This is generally
observed in the civil suits.

members. The respondent No. 1 and his brothers asked the petitioner to bring Rs.
10 Lacs from her parental house.

 That listening such taunts of the respondents, the petitioner was shocked and
surprised as only week of the marriage was passed and the aforesaid greedy nature
of the respondents was not expected to the petitioner. The petitioner tried to make

petitioner in front of other family members and threatened to turn out her from the

torturing the petitioner mentally and physically for the demand of money and
jewellery but the petitioner did not disclose about the acts of cruelties committed
by the respondent and his family members, to her mother and other parental side,
thinking that they would be sad after listening the same and the petitioner
tolerated all the acts of mental and physical cruelties of the respondents and other
family members, due to which, the petitioner suffered with huge pain.

respondent No. 1 became more aggressive and cruel towards her and after about
20 days of the marriage, one day he crossed all his limits and tried to make

petitioner that Cancer disease diagnosed in the medical tests and he further stated
that one report is to come and only after receiving the said report, he would decide

respondent No. 1 and respondent No. 5 & 6 instigated the respondent No. 1

age than the respondent No. 1 and they further stated that they have several
marriage proposals of 50 Lacs for the respondent No. 1 and they further instigated
the respondent No. 1 to divorce the petitioner. Listening their words, the
respondent No. 1 asked the petitioner to bring Rs. 30 Lacs from her mother,

bring Rs. 30 Lacs to save her matrimonial life.

work, then the respondent No. 5 came to the petitioner and try to touch the

the respondent No. 5 as the petitioner treated him as her own brother but on
28/05/2016 at about 04:00 P.M. when the petitioner went to respondent No. 5 to
give him tea, then he pulled the petitioner towards him by caught hold her hand,
due to which, the petitioner fell down upon him and he hold the petitioner from
her back and pressed the breast of petitioner and asked her to take care of him,
only then he will handle the position of petitioner in the matrimonial house. The
petitioner saved her modesty from his evil eyes by pushing him and ran from there
and when in the evening, the respondent No. 1 came to the house, the petitioner
disclosed all the aforesaid incident to him, then instead of asking the reason from
the respondent No. 5, the respondent No. 1 threatened that if the petitioner would

respondent No. 1, his brothers and sisters asked the petitioner that your parents

EXPERIENCE DURING THE INTERNSHIP

The job of a lawyer is only to assist a party in a suit regarding the proceeding and
appear before judge on his behalf. Every Lawyer maintains a court diary, which

59

lOMoARcPSD|3893350

proved handy and very useful as all the details of the case are entered in the diary with
proper date and its petition number. It proves to be useful, as respective cases are
recorded by the lawyer date wise and it saves time to think and search of the cases as
per the present date. During my internship, I learned to maintain the lawyer’s diary; I
learned how to take dates from the court from the registers. I myself has submitted an
application of Non-appearance on behalf of my Sir before the Honorable judge. It was
a learning experience as Juniors take one year for learning the court proceedings
which I could learn during the period of Internship. Though two month was not
sufficient but it was enough tolearn about the basics. And to gain mastery we have to
start with the basics. Basics can be learned only in Trial court. I have learned the
Basics of Drafting. I could get to know about fast track court and Lok adalat which is
an emerging concept.. I really tried hard to Learn. It was adventurous for me as
everything was unpredictable. Every Client comes with a new case, new situation, a
new problem and which doesn’t have any perfect answer. I also experienced the
expressions and thoughts of the Honorable Judges. When they are in a good mood,
they will tell you how to do the things correctly but if not then they will scold you for
the simple mistakes you have done. About Advocates I experienced that it is not easy
to work as an advocate, it requires a lot of dedication and hard work, only then you
can achieve success, and most importantly social recognition.

This was a common practice among all advocates to never come on time and keep
their clients waiting before the court. They also would never present W.S. (Written
Statement) before the court on time, and also the witness on time, and then ask the
court to issue a further date for next hearing. In the office I learned all the official
work, filling Talwana, Vakalatnama etc. All these documents are very important and
an advocate must know how to fill them and use them, Talwana is used for many
things such as for issuing Attach Warrant, issuing notices etc.

I also learned that it is very important to be always reading cases and new enactments,
keep yourself always sound-minded, and while dealing with a case read the facts of
the case very carefully and try to find all the loopholes and then use them in your
favour, also while cross questioning with the witness never allow him/her to be
confident ask them twisted questions so that they become nervous and are not able to
answer properly.

Certainly, I realized that one can not become a good advocate over night or by just
reading bare acts and books, one should work as hard as possible and invest as much
time as possible on the practical ground. It is never a ending process, as the
amendments and new laws keep on coming. This in a nut shell can be described more
as a rule of thumb.
