 Acknowledgement
I take this opportunity to express my profound gratitude and deep regards to my Sir Senior
Advocate MR. Nirupam D. Nanavaty for his exemplary guidance, monitoring and constant
encouragement throughout the internship and providing with the necessary information
regarding the law and order. He also taught me about the real sense of life towards the society.

I want to express our gratitude to all the people who have given their heart whelming support
in making this one-month internship a magnificent experience. During my internship period
Shubham Rajput and Dharmeshbhai who gave us daily printed board of our office which is
very helpful to us in different courts of High Court.

I sincerely and whole heartedly thank to other advocates, who were working there under the
observation of the Nirupam sir namely Advocate Jaivik Patel, Advocate Kartik Joshi, Advocate
Hitendra Rajput, Advocate Bhargav Dangar and Advocate Neel Dave. All these advocates used
to be ready to redress my any quarries at any time by vesting their guidance upon the various
criminal matters and to get me understand about concerned laws and sections of the IPC and
the CRPC. Mostly I was there with Advocate Neel Dave, who has experience more than ten
years and having a great advocacy mainly in the criminal side, therefore, I was consider myself
a fortunate one that I got his tremendous support and valuable suggestions – advices throughout
my internship, I could not imagine if the Adv. Neel were not there, how my internship would
have been – but by god’s grace this has not happened and I got inputs from him beyond the one
extend.

I am also thankful to Dean Ma’am of our Law faculty DR. Madhuri Parikh Ma’am and all
Professors of Institute of Law, Nirma University for giving me a chance to work and get
familiar with the various challenges in the field of advocacy.

Finally, last but not least, I would like to thank to each individual that I came in contact in the
course of training; this acknowledgement is for their inputs, time share and their knowledge
idea sharing efforts and also thankful to my parents and friends of their constant encouragement
without which this internship would not be possible.

 Your Experience during the Training

Each and everything in this one month were very experiencing for me. During this one month
I got to know that as to what the courts are in actual and in the practical life. It gave me the
whole idea about the Judicial Structure of our nation, especially at the level of lower judiciary.

The Internship began with the experience of the way to talk with an advocate and by acquiring
knowledge of various stages and procedure followed by the court in the various cases i.e. legal
procedure.

During this internship programme, I came into contact with many people and met with them.
They were readers in the court, applicants, respondent, witnesses, advocates of opposite party
etc. I had also meeting with various advocates, who were the proficient in family disputes, civil
cases, accident claims, property disputes and had the conversation with the government
advocates.

For me, having the amazing experience at the High Court is the best thing; my internship was
productive and full of fun; I got to meet and interact with ample of interns from different
colleges, we shared our different experiences with each other and had positive interaction.

I shall apprise that my internship course was of great help to me in obtaining the practical
understanding of the functionalism of the legal system, the necessity of a sound co-ordination
between public agencies, children subjected to delinquency and children, who come in conflict
of law.

The Internship also highlighted me the advantage of being linguistic and to have good
communication skills while dealing with the clients, advocates and judicial officer. My
stimulation towards providing assistance, those who are in need, with the help of our legal
system is strengthened by double with this internship course.

This one month gave me a wonderful experience. I got to know that how it is essential to have
basic understanding of the substantial laws.

Finally, last but not least, the best thing in doing the internship under Nanavaty Advocates was
that sir kept me under his direct supervision and always gave some practical and theoretical
knowledge about legal works.

 Executive Summary

I was considered myself as fortunate one that I got the privilege to Intern at Sr. Adv. Nirupam
Nanavaty’s office in Ahmedabad, who is having an experience more than 45 years. Being my
first Internship under a senior advocate, I used to think about internship that how would my
internship end or how things would go, but this turned out to be really smooth. Working under
Senior Advocate Nirupam Nanavaty sir gave me such a great experience and exposure to the
High Court. I got to learn about various aspects of Court. I had witnessed various court
proceedings of High court. In visiting to court, I learnt about court mannerism. Sr. Adv.
Nanavaty addressed me in his office and on the inquiry made out upon my college and courses,
I told him what I have learnt so far ILNU along with told about the subjects which I have learnt.
After sharing this, Sir shared his college day’s memories and his internship experience. I was
intimated that I would have to be formals especially black pant and white shirt in office along
with in court. Sir introduced me with his staff and his junior advocates. I had a bit conversation
with them so in conversating I got to know that I ought to be reached there at the office 10’o
clock in the morning. Then after Nanavaty sir introduced me to Adv Mr. Neel Dave, one of the
advocates, who practices under him, I was told by sir that he would guide you in the internship
and I have to be with him also and have to assist sir in the court proceedings, research for
various cases and sections, assist in dictation, assist in drafting, preparing notes and etc.

I used to have my office from 10 am to 8 pm. I was able to study various case file, Acts and
Laws at the court and office. I was able to observe that the way sir used to prepare for a case
and the manner of arguing before the hon’ble court and after hearing both the advocates of the
respective parties then the great accountability comes on the judge to adjudicate the matter by
way of applying his judicial mind. I came to know that even these were small things that matters
a lot. I observed and admire to sir the way he deals with the case and also observed the sweat
and blood put out by the advocates in order to get the judgment in their favour. Overall
experience under Sr. Adv. Nirupam Nanavaty sir was fruitful. Sir used to have large number
and quality of cases, which never gave me any free time and this helped me in developing to
better understanding of court and its proceedings.

The office of the Sr. Adv Nirupam Nanavaty used to start at early in the morning and the

people, working over there worked till 10:00 PM. The files were kept in a sequenced manner

according to the cases. It was come into my observation that the division of work, which helped
Page | 10
in fastening of the work while dealing with the cases. The sir’s juniors would do all the

compiling work and their work was to prepare for framing the arguments and providing a brief

to sir and other court activities etc, which had to be done in front of the hon’ble court.

I learnt a lot from this training period since the practical knowledge suits me. Whenever sir

used to be in front of the court was very interesting to see him. Although I learnt many sections

and relevance of those sections of IPC and CRPC but I was also able to observe that the

preparation is more difficult than expressing. The arguments presented were long but very

effective to clear each and every point about the case. I was able to understand various aspects

of memo of appearance, what is it, what it contains and who can provide memo. A memo is

nothing but under which a lawyer is empowered to act may be general. It may specifically

confer wide authority upon a lawyer.

I studied various sections like Sec 8 and 21 of the NDPS Act, 1985. I studied Sec- 3(1)(i),

3(1)(ii) and 3(3) of the GUJCTOAC Act, 2015. I studied Sec- 2(b) and 3 of the PASA Act,

1985. I studied 34, 120-A, B, 114, 143, 148, 149, 201, 302, 304(A), 306, 323, 325 and 449 of

the IPC. I studied 70(2), 320, 354, 436, 437, 438, 439 & 482 of the CRPC.

I was able to learn aforementioned sections, their ingredients and their applicability in cases. I

got better understanding of the Indian Judicial system, its functioning and all the process and

procedures followed to deliver the justice. I learnt about the ethics and court mannerism and

way of presenting an argument before the Justices. I learnt about how various laws and Acts

are applied in the cases. I got to know the difference between the law in books and law in real

world. I learnt how case files, laws are read and understood. Reading helped me in

comprehending legal language better.

 Part II LEARNING OUTCOMES

First Week Learning Outcomes

I was told by sir that being an advocate how it is essential to abide the rules regarding the
behaviour in the court and how it is important to maintain the court decorum and keep the net
and clean image of ourselves not before law fraternity but in the whole society. Then after I
was told that time is a very important and crucial thing in advocacy since advocate can be
identified how he is competent in his work so I was advised to be punctual every time. I was
told that during the course of internship, it is required to me to report to the High Court and
read up on the matters scheduled to take place on future dates. I was given some files to read
there, in which different applications were filled for formats of notice then after I was able to
observe the court’s arrangements.

I was introduced as to how the case files along with instruction to read criminal manual which
contains CRPC, IPC, Evidence Act and how it would guide to criminal pleading. I did not have
a whole understanding of these aforementioned laws so I was given knowledge about relevant
sections of these laws.

I was provided researched work to find some authority or case laws, which should lead to quash
the FIR and the prima facie should not disclose any offense so bearing this in my mind, I was
able to find some case laws with regard to the same and in finding I was able to observe that
this quashing section is made out when the unnecessary rather false FIR is registered against
the innocent person then in this case he (innocent) should have some redress to get rid out of
this unnecessary trial – so in such case he may approach to High court by way of filing the
petition Under Section 482 of the CRPC and if it is observed by the competent court that this
person is wrongly implicated in this FIR then the Court would quash the FIR and provide
punishment to person who has wrongly implicated the innocent person in the FIR.

In furtherance, I got to know that the person may approach the high court by way of filing the
petition under section 482 of the CRPC merely on ground that if he is wrongly implicated in
FIR for committing a Non-Compoundable Offence and If the prima facie evidence must
support that no case is made out against him and it is advisable for him that he files the petition
for the same before filling the charge-sheet and even if it is not observed by the competent

Page | 14
court rather if the FIR is not quashed meaning herein the order passed by the HC does not
accepted the petition then after He may approach to the Apex court by way of filling SLP under
article 136 of the Indian Constitution.

In my opinion, such these laws have been provided for the Innocent people for not to struck in
such a situation, however, these laws are also being misused by such person and the innocent
people have to deal with such serious repercussions.

Second Week Learning Outcomes

It was observed by me that when you are instructed by your superior then you are left with one
option to follow without asking any question or showing disrespect in doing the work what you
are instructed for. I got learnt that the work of filling or settling a correct paper in the file is
Important and necessary otherwise it would be difficult to argue and especially it is needed
when the judge raise his quires from that submitted paper - It is difficult to answer his quires.
I was given instruction to pic some files and to place some documents in those files with the
correct gradation. I got to learnt how it is substantial to be vigilant while sitting in the court
room since I was given a task to call out sir when his matters is called out from the board
because he used to be engaged with another matter. I got to learnt that one piece of advice of
sir delivering to me that once you involve in the court procedure, everything in the relations
will become too complex to be solved. With this it was came to my knowledge that being a
lawyer how it is substantial and beneficial to understand the procedure and it can be
overwhelming but eventually can support.

I was learnt as to how draft and what should be necessary conditions incorporated while
drafting and what should not be required to draft as per case. I was provided some guidance
by sir with respect to PIL and after getting some inputs, I was instructed to know more about
on the same subject matter and once you read make a note whatever come across your mind on
the same so I got to learnt that PIL is not defined in any Act or statute. This petition can be
filled by anyone when person or entity’s action affect the Interest of the Public at large.

Further, PIL can be filed either in HC or SC ensuring the protection of the fundamental rights
provided to the public – which is violated by someone’s action. In furtherance, the court take
cognizance by its own and proceed with Suo Motu can even be initiated on the petition of any
public-spirited individual.

Page | 15
 Third Week Learning Outcomes
I got to know the importance of typing correctly since sir gave me some documents to get it
typed. I went to the computer and did his work. I was given instruction to place all the
documents in a file then after I was given some envelops and instructed to go to the post office.
In those envelops, there were notices which were sent to the parties concerned to the cases.

I got learnt about the title clearance – one day at the office I saw sir doing the work of title
clearance and this was totally new thing for me because it was not even taught me in the college.
So, I enquire about it and he explained that title clearance is the removal of possible problems
having to do with the passing of title of the house from the seller to buyer. In real estate, title
refers to the paperwork that provides a person legal ownership over the property.

In furtherance, I asked sir a question whether the land is permanent and may have many owner
over the years if it is so then after various people and body may have rights as it is owned by
them even if the land has never built upon then how purchaser or buyer would know as to the
land which he purchase is not in the question of title clearance? Sir answered that the report
would show if there are any lines on the property from mortgages, judgments against the owner
or outstanding property taxes. Purchaser would get to find out about any restrictions on the use
of all or part of the property and the rights of others to use the property as well.

Fourth Week Learning Outcomes

I was learnt about all the necessary steps and guidelines required to be followed to file a case.
I was shown the manner in which a case should be arranged and which necessary documents
are required for filing the case. I was told that there are many reasons for which a case would
be rejected from being filed.

I got an opportunity to get to know about bail and its procedure. Sir gave the information on it
and it was very useful knowledge for me. I was told that according to CRPC classifies offence
to be either Bailable or Non-bailable; while drafting an application for bail, one must to know
whether the alleged offence is bailable or not. In commission of the Non-bailable offence, one
must have to verify whether the offence is punishable with death then you have to take a look
if there are any special circumstance were existed.

Page | 16
I got another opportunity to get to know about the criminal trial procedure by sir’s junior
namely Adv. Neel Dave – who is having an experience more than 10 years in the advocacy of
the criminal side. I was told that in criminal there are two types of offences committed namely
Cognizable and the other one is Non-Cognizable, there are three types of criminal stages
namely pre-trial proceedings, trials and post-trial stages.

In a first stage i.e. Pre-trial Proceedings. Upon receiving the complaint, police do all the
investigation, search, take statements of witnesses, bail, remand arrest and relating provisions
be followed and upon that police is filed Charge sheet u/s 173 of the CRPC.

In a second stage i.e. Trials. After stage 1 proceedings as police report is filed u/s 173 or
complaints proceedings u/s 200 to 203 is to be followed, this proceedings u/s 204 to 209 are
followed under the CRPC. After the commencing proceedings u/s 204 to 209 Trials are
performed. There four types of trial namely sessions trial, warrant trial, summons trial and
summary trial. Except sessions all other aforementioned trials are performed by the magistrate.
Trials initiated are same for both started on police report or complaints except in the warrant
trial. After trail either accused acquitted or sentenced, he may also be given a relief of the
probation.

In a third stage i.e. After Trail Proceedings. In this, appeals are to be followed by way of
challenging the order passed by subordinate judges and then after upon appeal revision is filed.
There are three types of appeals. First is conviction appeal, wherein accused person prefer
conviction appeal against the order of conviction. Second is enhancement appeal – wherein it
is preferred by the state government (or central government). Third is Acquittal appeal –
wherein it is filed against order passed in favour of accused i.e. acquittal of an accused, by
government or if trial was instituted upon private complaint. In revision appeal – which is filed
when there are no provisions of appeal is not given.

Best part of this internship is that I was able to gain experience of the HC along with the office.
