 FACTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP

1. OVERVIEW

I have completed my one month of Internship under learned advocate Mr. Ravi Ranjan, Patna
High Court and this report is an outcome of that internship program. The basic practice
behind this internship program is to gain first-hand practical experience of the various
proceedings of the court and to learn various skills which an advocate should know in their
carrier.

I have done my internship from 1st December 2021 to 30th December 2021. During this
period of my internship under the guidance of sir, I learned a lot of things which include: –

 Drafting of applications

 How to determine the jurisdictions of court.

 How to frame charges

 How to examine the witness and how examination in chief, cross-examination, and re-
examination is carried.

 The process to file bail application and its provisions

 Attend court proceedings

 Research on various propositions of law

I attended the court room proceeding in the 1st half of the court as very few benches used to
sit in the 2nd half. Thereafter, I used to report at the office in the evening for the research
work. During these four weeks along with the learning, I enjoyed the work and made a bunch
of memories.
2. INTERNSHIP JOURNAL- DIARY ENTRIES

01/12/2021- Wednesday

 I reached office at 9:30 A.M. and Adv. Ravi Ranjan Sir took me with him to the
Patna High Court to attend the court proceedings. There, I first went to the
administrative section of the court for the issuance of courtroom pass. I was told
that the passes would be issued tomorrow. Then after, I reached to the “Barrister
Association” Section of the Bar where sir used to sit. I, along with other juniors,
were asked to arrange the files in accordance with the timing of hearing in the
court. I made a chart of total cases listed for hearing today with the court room
number which I was recommended to make on daily basis.

 The matter was listed in Court room no 2, 5, 32, 35, 39. One of the matters heard
was of anticipatory bail under section 438, CrPC for the alleged offences under
sec. 120 B, 420, 467, 468 and 471 of IPC. The other matter was also of
anticipatory bail where the court has granted the anticipatory bail to the petitioner
on furnishing the bail bond of Rs. 20,000 with two sureties and few conditions are
also mentioned. At around 1 PM, Sir left for home and juniors along with interns
were asked to leave. I have to report to office at 6 PM in the evening. I was told
that this would be the daily routine, i.e., first we have to attend the court room
proceedings and, in the evening, we have to do research works.

 At office, sir has introduced me to everyone working in the office. I was allotted a
space to work. Since, it was my first day, I wasn’t allotted any work but was asked
to read files of the cases. I read JMC v. The State of Bihar. As it was a huge file, I
was first confused how to go forward with it. However, sir helped me and told me
how to read different files and cases. All the pages are not relevant for us initially.
But we first understand the position of parties, the fact of the cases and the issues
concerned in that. Thereafter, we have to look upon what was decided by the
lower court, if it is an appeal preferred to the high court.
02/12/2021- Thursday

 Today, I reached directly to the court at 10:00 AM and reported to sir. We, then,
arranged the files and marked the pages of the book which we were going to cite
before the hon’ble judges. Sir mentioned the cases before the court on the basis of
urgency of matter. As the mentioning got over, the other matters were taken up for
hearing. I learned the art of eloquent speaking and how to persuade the judge. I
also learnt some professionalism at the court proceeding as one of the lawyers
sitting inside the court room was scolded as he was sitting in very casual way
placing one of his legs on the other leg. The Hon’ble judge, however, suggested
everyone to maintain decency in the court and also not to point fingers while
arguing in front of the court.

 At office, I was allotted research works to find the supreme court cases on settled
possession. Also, if suit is dismissed under section 6, Specific Relief Act can
revision application be filed? I found out that section 6 bars appeal and review
applications as the object of the section is to provide an immediate and speedy
remedy to restore possession to a person who has been unjustly and forcibly
dispossessed. However, in Nair Service Society ltd. v K.C. Alexander (1968 SC),
it has been held that Revision application can be filed in exceptional cases. I learnt
how to interpret statute and interlink the sections provided in different Acts. (Time
taken- 2 hours)

 Also, I researched on the cases of perfecting title by adverse possession. I came

through a progressive case of Ravinder Kaur Grewal v Manjit Kaur Grewal (2019
SC) where Hon’ble justice Arun Mishra has held that perfecting title can be used
both as a sword and a shield. Earlier, the defendant used the adverse possession as
a shield, i.e., they can only claim this defence only when the true owner files for
the ownership title. However, after this judgment, when the possession of the
possessor become adverse to the true owner and the possession continues for a
period of 12 years and thereafter, a declaratory suit may be filed by the plaintiff on
the ground of perfecting title by adverse possession. This tells that law is dynamic
and it cannot be remained stagnant but remain evolving. (Time taken- 1 hours)
03/12/2021- Friday

 Today, there were comparatively less work, therefore, sir asked me to watch the
proceedings in the courtroom of the hon’ble Chief Justice. Hon’ble Chief Justice was
sitting in a division bench. I observed that the bench was very supportive for the
young lawyers and it made me confident too. The way hon’ble judges were helping
junior/young advocates to confidently argue their cases without any hesitation and
fear was appreciable. Also, the senior lawyers were advised by the bench to support
and motivate them to argue their case.

 However, in one of the other courts, a junior lawyer asked for passover as his senior
was engaged in the other case. The court, however, asked the junior advocate to argue
the case. The hon’ble judge’s word baffled him. The hon’ble judge asked him to tell
the facts of the case. However, the junior lawyer still can’t narrate the facts of the
case, for this, the hon’ble judge became furious and scolded him of not knowing
anything about his case. His lordship advised him to know the case beforehand while
appearing before the court and be well versed with the facts. I understood that while
working as a junior or intern, it is very necessary to read and understand every case
file before appearing before the court in any manner.

 At office, I was handed over a case file to draft a bail application and given few
samples also for the reference. I drafted the bail application under section under
Section 439 and 440 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. (Time taken- 4 hours)

05/12/2021- Sunday

 I reported to the office at 11 A.M. I was assigned a research work on whether sex
on the pretext of false promise to marriage amounts to rape or not? I found out
that there is a difference of views among various high courts. In Arak Sk. Vs.
State of West Bengal, the court held that promise to marry did not hold the
accused guilty of a charge of rape under sec. 376 of IPC whereas in Saleha
Khatoon Vs. State of Bihar, the Patna HC had held that the promise to marriage
amounts to be rape. It was held that if in inception, a promise which was made
was intended to marry but later he changed his mind then it is not rape but if it is
proved that since the beginning of making of the promise, he has doubtful
intentions then it is considered as rape. (Time taken- 3 hours)
  The good point for me, here, is that sir is looking for the Patna High Court
Judgments or Supreme Court Judgment regarding pretext to false promise to
marriage amounts to rape and Patna High Court Judgment say so. The thing I
observed here is until there are no supreme court cases on the said proposition, the
High Court only prefer their own judgment. Earlier, in my moot court
competitions, I used to cite all High Court judgments will full force, however, the
other high court judgments are of only persuasive value.

 I was asked to work from the office and look at files with transcripts of the
examination in chief and cross examination. I learnt that on account of an
amendment to Order 18 Rule 4 of CPC, the only mode of examination in chief is
through filing affidavits that are titled ‘Affidavit in lieu of examination in chief.
(Time taken- 2 hours)

 Such an affidavit also has to be filed after the cross examination of witnesses.
However, it is only in the case of chief examination that courts are denied the
opportunity to appreciate and assess the demeanor of witnesses since it is not
conducted in their presence. But the court can do so during cross examination and
re-examination. A point to be noted, the task of examining and cross-examining
witnesses could not be delegated to Local Commissioners, who just have to record
evidence. The courts justifiably and robustly retain such aspects of the trial
exclusively for themselves. Also, appointment of a Local Commissioner is not a
matter of routine. Faith in the judicial adjudicatory process is affirmed and
enhanced when litigants observe the conclusion of proceedings in the court and
return with the impression that a fair and equitable procedure had been adopted.

06/12/2021- Monday

 I was asked to observe the hearing in the courtroom no 15 and 13 and to wait for
our cases to be taken up. However, the bench didn’t sit in the second half and
thus, the matter was listed for another day. I went to the administrative department
of the high court along with munshi jee and matched the pages of our document
with the document submitted to the court.

 At office, studied and researched on cases related to S.34 and S.37, Arbitration
and Conciliation Act. Understood the scope, use and application. Drafted
 application under Section 5, Specific Relief Act r/w Article 65 of the Limitation
Act on the basis of the ownership title. (Time taken- 4 hours)

07/12/2021- Tuesday

 I was asked to observe the proceedings of court room no. 14. The matters taken
were criminal. I observed the hearing on NDPS Act, POCSO Act, and other
criminal cases. After I came out of the court, I opened the bare act of Narcotics
Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. I found it to be too draconian. The
punishment for even possession of such substances are very rigorous and the
punishment for possession of commercial quantity may extend to imprisonment of
20 years. More I researched, I found out that many countries around the world,
possession and consumption of such substances are legal. Before 80s, even in
India consumption of such substances were legal.

 At office, I drafted an application under Order VI, R.17 r/w S.151, CPC. The
urgent application was moved to seek amendment to the present suit. The case
was regarding the transactions that have been made by the plaintiff in lieu of
performance of the Sale agreement. The plaintiff transacted 80% of the agreed
amount and post that the respondents stopped replying and acknowledging the
messages of the plaintiff and no steps have been taken in furtherance of
performance of the conditions of agreement to sell. (Time taken- 3 hours)

08/12/2021- Wednesday

 I visited the Civil court with one of the Associate and witnessed the case of
divorce where both parties living separately after marriage and court directed for
mediation between the parties and cooling period of six months.

 Also, witnessed the working of lokadalat where settlements were made between
the parties without giving the court fees.

 I got to witness today how a chief examination of a witness is done. It was the first
time that I was getting this experience. The whole proceeding went smoothly and
the judge seemed quite convinced with the examination in chief of the witness.
The opposition lawyer demanded some more time to cross-examine the witness.
 The judge was liberal enough to grant him an extension. I liked how these lawyers
pursue the judges to their needs and how the judge agrees with them. They truly
are the masters of the skills that they possess.

 At office, made the case compilation in the prescribed document. Also, made the
index of list of judgments on behalf of the respondent. (Time taken- 4 hours)

09/12/2021- Thursday

 Today, from the beginning only I sat in the court of Hon’ble Mr. Justice Ashutosh
Kumar and observed for almost one hour. He is a judge of might who needs
everything accurate and correct. After that I went to the court of another judge
Hon’ble Mr. Justice Chakradhari Sharan Singh and observed the proceedings
though the honorable judge was not audible till last at some times. After that I
observed the court of Hon’ble Mr. Justice Parthsarthi who is a very calm person,
he has his own way of doing things. I observed that each bench is distinct from
one another and a good lawyer is one who understands the judge and reads his
mind. For example- how the judges think, what can be the probable reasons for
him granting the relief in my favour, etc.

 At office, Researched on the different aspects of RTI Act, 2005. (Time taken- 1
hours)

 What constitutes information under the RTI Act, 2005. How opinion, advice, and
documents interpreted by the judicial pronouncements. (Time taken- 1 hours)

 Whether file noting is allowed by litigant or general public and whether it comes
under the definition of information under RTI Act, 2005. (Time taken- 1/2 hours)

 Also researched on whether the Central Public Information Officer or State Public
Information Officer ought to provide the reason of rejection where a request for
information has been rejected. (Time taken- 1/2 hours)

10/12/2021- Friday

 Made the case compilation of meaning of “information” under the RTI Act, 2005.
Also, find case laws on “opinion and advise” and “file noting”. While working on
 this, I found it to be monotonous. However, this will be beneficial at the time of
making index of the case laws and become easy at the time of referring before the
hon’ble court. (Time taken- 4 hours)

13//12/2021- Monday

 Researched on the piracy of registered design under the Designs Act, 2002 and
related case laws. (Time taken- 1 hours)

 Researched on the Jurisdiction of courts under Designs Act, 2002. (Time taken- 1
hours)

 Draft a notice of ejectment under Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act
1882 where the client and his tenant entered a rent agreement which got
terminated in the month of February, thus, the notice was simply directing the
tenant to vacate the property, on and from the date of receiving the notice, as the
end of the rent agreement has also ended the landlord and tenant relationship.

 In the notice, I was also required to mention a case of failure to quit the premises
as desired, the tenant would be termed as trespasser and ejected in the due course
of law and the tenant would also be liable to pay the damages at the rate of Rs
1000/- per diem.

14//12/2021- Tuesday

 Researched on the ingredients of Defamation and what amounts to publication.

Also, whether a letter received by a lawyer containing scurrilous allegations or
imputations about his client tantamount to publication or not? (Time taken- 2
hours)

 I found out that a letter containing defamatory imputations dictated by a lawyer

to his stenographer who transcribed it and then sent it to the concerned person
does not amount to publication even though a third person comes to know the
defamatory matter. Such a defamatory imputation practically does not go beyond
the lawyer’s professional range. The court observed in the said judgment that
“After all communication by the petitioner to his lawyer was a privileged
communication and the lawyer in the discharge of his duties got it typewritten
 from the typist. Such a publication to a clerk or typist in my view, cannot be a
publication to a person other than the complainant.”

 Similarly, a letter received by a lawyer containing scurrilous allegations or

imputations about his client does not tantamount to publication. Similar is the case
of issuing of notice by a lawyer1 or exchange of notices containing defamatory
allegations, through lawyers, by the parties to a case. The Court held that “the
sending of a communication to an advocate on behalf of his client is virtually a
communication made to the client himself. As such there is no publication of the
imputation concerning the client.”

 A letter containing defamatory imputations when is sent not to an individual but

to a firm, meant to be read by all the partners of the firm , therefore,
tantamount to publication. (S Mohinder Singh Saluja v Vansan Shoes Delhi, 1987
Del HC )

15/12/2021 (Wednesday)

 Researched on laws relating to registration of charges under Companies Act, 2013

and previous Companies Acts and case laws related to the same. (Time taken- 1
hours)

 Researched on the consequences of non-registration of charges. Researched on

whether the charge can be enforced even if not registered. (Time taken- 2 hours)

 To the above research, I found out that the charge created over security offered
becomes void if it is not registered within the stipulated period prescribed under
section 77/125 of companies’ acts. Where a charge is void for non-registration, no
right of lien can be claimed by the creditor on the documents of title, as they were
only supplementary to the charge and were delivered pursuant to the charge. If
charge is not filed, the holder of charge is reduced to the level of an unsecured
creditor AP State Financial Corporation v. Mopeds India Ltd (In liquidation);
same view in Rajasthan Financial Corporation v. Jaipur Spg & Wvg Mills
and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. v. Official Liquidator of Ambica Mills.
In State Bank of India v. Visaniryat P Ltd. it was held that if company does not go
into liquidation, the mortgage or charge is good against the company and may be
1
NJothi v Rajamani (1996) Cr LJ 2435 (Mad).
 enforced, even if not registered.

16/12/2021 (Thursday)

 Learned how to take a certified copy of a case-related document from the court.
Taking a certified copy of a case in a trial court can be a tedious task. The person
who gives the certified copy of a case-related document does not easily give it.
When I went to take the certified copy he sent me back 2-3 times pointing out one
excuse or the other every time I went there. One time I did not have the sign of the
advocate on the slip, sometimes it was not the correct time to ask for it. He made
me realize how tiring can this small work of getting a certified copy can get in
these trial courts. But in the end, I managed to get a certified copy.

 At office, I researched on whether after the grant of permanent alimony under

section 25 Hindu Marriage Act, can a prayer be made before the magistrate under
section 125, CrPC for the maintenance. As the outcome of the research, I found
that permanent alimony and maintenance is granted by the court in favour of the
petitioner u/

 s 25 (1), HMA. However, it is to be seen that by giving section 25 (2) and section
25 (3), the parliament has kept a way open that wherever there is a change in
circumstance, the aggrieved party can approach the court under sub section (2)
and (3) and can ask for variation or modification of order. Therefore, wherein
maintenance has been awarded u/s 25 (1), the logical sequence would be to file an
application under section 25 (2) rather than creating multiple channels of remedy
seeking maintenance. (Time taken- 2 hours)

 My reflection to this finding is that court always refer to grant all remedy under
the one suit rather allowing different suits for different reliefs. The court work on
the principle of interest republicae ut sit finis litium and to avoid unnecessary
burdening of the court. Therefore, principles like Res Judicata, Order 2 Rule 2 are
there.
17/12/2021 (Friday)

 Today I went to the divisional commissioner and even saw the court established
there, IAS officers are recruited as judges there to provide justice. They also keep
records of every report, notice, and application etc which is sent to them or
through them. Through the party’s name or through subject of the letter it can be
found on their software.

 At office, I witnessed real client discussing his case with sir and telling him all the
required details for the case, all the facts told by him were listened carefully by sir
and some of his juniors and me. Then after the client left, discussion was done on
the same. Then a brief drafting procedure was told by one of the junior of sir’s.
The day ended up with clearing all my doubts regarding the new case came to sir.

20/12/2021 (Monday)

 Researched on whether a compromise decree passed by a court in a proceeding under

section 125 of CrPC between husband and wife agreeing for a consolidated amount of
alimony and giving up any future claim of maintenance preclude the wife from
claiming maintenance in a suit filed under section 18 HAMA? (Time taken- 2 1/2
hours)

 Upon research, I found out that Section 125 is a piece of social legislation which
provides for a summary and speedy relief by way of maintenance to a wife who is
unable to maintain herself and her children. Section 125 is not intended to provide for
full and final determination of the status and personal rights of the parties which is the
nature of civil proceedings though are governed by the provisions of CrPC. Moreover,
the order made under Section 125 is tentative and is subject to final determination of
the rights in the civil court. Thus, anu order passed under section 125 CrPC by
compromise or otherwise cannot foreclose the remedy available to a wife under
section 18, HAMA. (Nagendrappa Natikar v. Neelamma)

21/12/2021 (Tuesday)

 Researched on can a party unilaterally set-off the claim while the case is pending
without the leave of the court?
 Today, I get the opportunity to understand the concept of set-off. Order 8 Rule 6 deals
with Set-off (Legal set off) and the word ‘otherwise’ in the section deals with
equitable set-off. The legislations have always tried to lower the burden of court
through multiple proceedings for the same matter. As a result, set-off and counter
claim has been given as a statutory ground. (Time taken- 3 hours)

 Researched on whether annexures be a part of affidavit?

In the judgment of Union of India vs Karam Chand Thapar, it was held that the three
documents, namely, the petition, the annexures and the affidavit have been integrated
to constitute one document. (Time taken- 1 hours)

22/12/2021 (Wednesday)

 I got a chance to learn the whole process of case filing in the district court. Sir take
me along with him to the district court wherein he presented some documents called
by the court. What was more intriguing to observe was the manner in which he asked
the questions. He seemed to have been trapping the other person. He knew exactly
what he was doing and smiled as he walked out of the courtroom, knowing he had
accomplished his goal. When I inquired why he was smiling, he explained that
whenever you argue in front of a judge, you should not let your expression speak
negatively. Don't get too worked up if things aren't going your way. Simply wait
patiently and with a smile on your face. Recognize where you're going wrong and, if
necessary, request additional time.

 He told he did commit some mistakes during the initial questioning but he did not
panic and came back on track quickly. He was smiling because he saved himself and
his client from losing a close case and that made me realize how big a lawyer he is.
Truly and amazing experience working and learning under him.

23/12/2021 (Thursday)

 Today, there were comparatively less work, therefore, sir asked me to watch
the proceedings in the courtroom of the hon’ble Chief Justice. Hon’ble Chief
Justice was sitting in a division bench.

 At office, Researched on chargeability of stamp duty.

  Researched on whether stamp duty is payable on master seller agreement?

I came to know about the stamp duty through this research. I did not know about
such thing earlier, however through this research I came to find out that duty on
the instrument is to be paid at the time of execution of that instrument. The Apex
Court in the case of Hindustan Lever v. State of Maharashtra has held that the
duty under the Stamp Act is charged on the instrument and it is on execution of
the instrument. The measure of charging stamp duty may be fixed or ad valorem it
is to be determined by the Legislature. The statute has already fixed the amount to
be paid as the stamp duty. The basis for computation of stamp duty can be
determined by the State Legislature and it may be on the basis of the market value
of the property transferred or at a fixed amount.

24/12/2021 (Friday)

 Since there were no matters in any court today, I was asked to report directly to the
office in the evening. Since, it was an unusually slow day at work, and I had not been
assigned any work for the day, I helped the law clerk in due diligence work including
proof reading and page matching. Proof reading, though, is a tedious and boring task
yet one could not overlook its significance since even seemingly minor errors may
lead to unnecessary delay in the proceedings and much embarrassment for the
advocate. I was asked to leave early as there was not much work to do.

28/12/2021 (Tuesday)

 I was asked to research on Section 125 CrPC which provides for the order of
maintenance of wives, children and parents. Since, I had a fair idea of the provision,
having read about the same as a part of our family law curriculam, I found this to be
rather easy. I took the help of the books that were available and also looked up on the
internet. Sir had asked me for some cases which could support our stand and for the
same, I researched using manupatra. Having a fair experience of research, I had no
difficulty in finding the cases from legal search engines. I tried different combinations
and phrased and found some relevant case laws and made compilation of the same.
  Thereafter, I was made to sit in a client meeting involving a simple matter of
Domestic violence. Since, I had not read the file at that time, I only had to observe
and take notes. Attending the client interviewing was a new experience for me. I
observed how the lawyers actually have to interact with the client. This being a
privilege communication, the professional ethics that have to be followed can be
learnt only by observing these things in practice. The client interview is the very first
step and this is how the lawyer starts to work on a problem from the very grass root
level. I was also told different ways to extract information from the client.

29/12/2021 (Wednesday)

 I was allotted a research work on whether the provision of section 7(c) of the
Muslim Woman (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019 bar the grant of
anticipatory bail us/ 438, CrPC? Through this research, I came to learn about the
provisions of 2019 Act. While researching, I found out that there is no specific
provision in section 7 (c) of the 2019 Act making section 438, CrPC inapplicable
to an offence punishable under 2019 Act. (Time taken- 2 hours)

 However, while researching on this subject area I found a grey area which needs
to be abridged. The 2019 Act punishes the husband for irrevocable talaq which is
void and illegal. That means, the marriage still subsists, i.e., she will not be a
divorced woman. As per section 5, the woman on whom the triple talaq has been
pronounced is entitled to subsistence allowance from her husband. However, she
is still a married Muslim woman and is entitles to claim maintenance even under
personal law and under the CrPC. However, wherein the husband is sentenced to
imprisonment who will give her allowance has not been discussed. Also, Section 4
of the Act lays down the punishment for the pronouncement of triple talaq by
husband which may extend to imprisonment of 3 years and fine. However, as a
general rule divorce proceeding are civil proceedings and therefore, the
criminalisation of pronouncement of triple talaq could have been the last resort as
other civil remedies were still available, for example, mediation proceedings.

 This is also a possibility that if the husband is punished by way of imprisonment,

it may lead to irretrievable breakdown of marriage. Moreover, the husband may
divorce his wife by pronouncing talaq by following proper Quranic procedure
 later on. Lastly, such adverse consequences might discourage woman from
reporting such incidence.

30/12/2021 (Thursday)

 Today was the last day of my internship with not much of work left for this day. I
spent the time in the chamber by reading the files present on the table, and was
asked to bind one of the case file in orderly manner, by placing bookmarks for
easy identification of the various affidavits, petition, order etc.

 Thereafter, was asked to interview a client under the guidance of my respected

senior advocate.

 Lately, I was asked to draft a rejoinder which was dictated by my senior.

 It was an amazing experience at this office. Everyone gave me best wishes on the
last day of my internship and praised my work.
 REFLECTION ON THE LEARNING

Through this internship, I have gained an insight regarding the functionalities of the High
Court and District Courts and as to how the proceedings take place. During these four weeks,
I attended several court proceedings that helped me gain an understanding about the
courtroom mannerisms, as to how the mentioning takes place, how arguments are done and
how any order is passed. I also undertook a detailed study of cases which helped me
understand the various stages through which any case undergoes, before the judgement is
given out. It provided me with an astounding opportunity to gain a comprehensive
understanding of all the procedural aspects involved in any criminal and civil matter.
There were certain good aspects about this internship like I was given the freedom to express
my thoughts and ideas, as well as to ask for time off. I enquired about almost everything. In
addition, sir, who has worked in the legal sector for many years used to tell us his stories and
insights related to his cases and situations. Because he is so well-known and respected, by the
end of the month, everyone knew our names. Even when he and his colleagues were working
on major cases, they would bring us along to see the proceedings. Singh Sir was quite
helpful, and we spent the majority of our time with him. He instilled in us the ability to
believe in ourselves.

There was not anything bad with the internship. However, the courtroom and courtroom
infrastructure might be upgraded. The courtrooms are cramped and crammed with case files.
There is a lot of paper, but it will be decreased in the future as digitization takes place. It’s
also a long journey. Chairs and tables are also bound with chains at this time. The fans, seats,
and tables have been around for a long time

To summarize it has been one of my best internship experiences till date. I got to learn so
many new things and meet such amazing people who were ready to help me out at every
point. One of the best thing here was that there was no spoon feeding and one was left to
learn on his own, they only used to guide and you on your own had to learn from your
failures. When I failed while drafting they did not scold me but made me believe that I can
and I will do better. And it happened as well, my drafting skills got better at the end of the
internship. At last, I would only like to thank each and every person whom I met during this
internship who made me learn new things and help me become a better version of myself.
