DAILY REPORT
As an intern, I had much to learn and much to observe. I just had a very basic idea as to how
courts work and as to how a lawyer proceeds with a case and also how he or she carries
himself in a court of law.

In my daily report I have included all the observations I made by attending various court
proceedings during the course of my internship.

I was given opportunity to draft several documents ranging from matters related to criminal
proceedings, civil proceedings and Corporate Compliance. I was also given research work on
various topics as well as various case laws. I have included them in my daily report.

As time went by, I got accustomed to the working of the courts and the procedural formalities
that are needed to be undertaken.

PART-A: Daily Work -Observing the proceedings

1st JUNE, 2017

This was my first day at the internship and I got acquainted with Mr LAL SINGH

the below mentioned matter:

wherein we were supposed to furnish bail for the accused.

● I was also entrusted with the task of filing Form for Bail bond to be filled and to be

presented before the magistrate, with a copy of identification for the accused,
identification for the surety and bail money in terms of the surety's vehicle.

Draft has been attached in Part B of this internship report.

12th JUNE 2018

On 12th JUNE , attended the hearing in the matter:


11

Navmi Sharma v. Neeraj Sharma

In the court of Ms. Manu Vedwan, Metropolitan Magistrate Mahila Court, Tis Hazari

Application made under section 12 of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act,
2005.

The matter is at the stage of cross examination.

FACTS

Representing the complainant

● Marriage between the complainant and the respondent was solemnized in 1998. Post their

marriage the respondent’s demeanour changed and she was subjected to aggressive
behaviour and was also asked to part away from her jewellery.

● She was not allowed to complete her education and was taunted every day for not bringing

sufficient dowry.

● The complainant alleges that the respondent is a drunkard and has had multiple affairs post

their marriage also and lost one of her child due to the physical atrocities she was
subjected to.

● Even post the birth of her female child her sufferings did not come to an end. She was

pressurised to have a male child even though she was not physically fit.

● There were instances where the respondent’s father-in-law tried to sexually abuse her and

her elder daughter.

● Thus, the complainant was subjected to extreme physical, emotional and financial abuse

by the respondents.

● The abuse in the matrimonial home has mounted to a point where the complainant and her

children were in danger of their life and it was important for their safety to remove them
from their matrimonial home and thus seeks relief from the honourable court.

13th JUNE, 2018

In the matter of:

SWAPNIL CHAUDHARY v . VIKAS DHANDA

CROSS EXAMINATION

The Case of Cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of Property. the accused person was

tried under section 406/420 of IPC 1860. The accused was alleged to flew away wit amount

of rs.6,00,000 of the complainant. The cross examination of the complainant was to be done

on that day. Counsels of both the parties were present. Counsel of the started the cross

examination of the complainant by asking multiple question regarding whether the accused

was employed by him, what was the term of his job, who managed the collection of

payments, who managed the accounts. Etc. the complainant was asked to produce the salary

slips and other documents on the next date. The cross examination was further deferred.

Observation:

The judge was taking part actively and was listening to the complainant closely. The counsel

for complainant was scolded by judge for intervening and guiding what to answer to the

complainant. At some point of time the use to hint by saying word ‘chakma’ to complainant,

that it’s a tricky and trap question. The counsel appearing for the accused was very sharp in

pointing out certain things that could turn out to be in his favor. Both the counsels sometime

arguing with each other. Both honored what the judge was saying. The court was adjourned.
13

Later on after attending cases in the court I was provided to research on the liability of the

defendant party in case of dishonoring of cheque u/s 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act,

1881. I was required to read case file of the running case in which a lady named SHABANA

lent amount of Rs 2,60,000 or Rs.60000 to one called Heena in exchange of a cheque issued

amount of rs. 260000 or rs. 60000. I was required to find whether could be held liable or not

for adding extra digit 2 before 60000. Whether there was over writing on the part of plaintiff.

We prepared the question to be asked in cross examination of a witness next day to the

defendants’ witness.

14TH JUNE, 2018

In The Matter of:

RITURAJ MOHANTY V. KEERTI ATRI

Both the accused and the plaintiff were present and their counsels as well. Sir appeared from

the side of plaintiff. It was a matter of s-138 of NI act 1881.

The cross examination of witness of defendant was to happen, but the witness did not appear

before the court. Accused was fined because of coming late that day, and was ordered to pay

cost of rs. 500 to the complainant as travel charges. And the court was adjourned. Before the

call of the case , the plaintiff came 20 minutes earlier to ask sir what to say and what not to
14

say . The plaintiff was a lady and was tired of attending dates, wanted to be free from this

case and get the money as early as possible. When I entered a courtroom, I was surprised

because it was smaller than I imagined. Only about six to seven chairs for the audience were

there. I could feel that the structure was not welcoming to spectators. I think that it was

designed intentionally to limit seating since family matters are so intimate and can be

embarrassing if revealed to the public. But what bothered me was that I personally thought

that the accused party had already paid that amount in greed of extra money the plaintiff has

filed the case. I discussed about it with sir and he said we will have to think about our client

we have to win his trust once we have agreed to take up the case.

15th JUNE, 2018

In the matter of:

KETKI SURI V. ABHISHEK VIRMAN

Facts:

It was a case of Cheque bounce under Section 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881.
According to Ketki Srui, Abhishek Varman owed some payments due to the her. The
respondent took the defence that he had cleared the payment even before the suit was filed.
The petitioner company submitted the documents pertaining to the due payment.
15

Proceedings:

The court issued a bailable warrant of 20,000 rupees and issued a future date, as the accused
had persistently avoided presenting himself before the court of consecutive dates.

Observations:

One of the parties had been persistently trying to extend the proceeding by taking defences
that were not backed by any documentary proof. Also, the accused was avoiding coming
before the court on the basis of petty excuses which was unnecessarily prolonging the
proceedings. The judge veritably delivered a tough order after the repeated excuses of the
accused to not present himself before the court.

In the matter of:

Anjali Dhawan v. Delhi Public School & Ors.

FACTS:

Here, the Complainant was a teacher in the Defendant School and she was removed from her

job arbitrarily after extending her contract from time to time many a times; stating that she is

not qualified for the post. She had earlier abandoned her job n the Architectural firm when

she was convinced to accept this job and pursuant to this she did B.Ed from CCS University,

result of which is awaited.

PROCEEDINGS:

The Defendant school had to submit their written statement but they could not do so stating a

technical reason for the default on their part. The Court fixed a next date of hearing after
16

admonishing the opposite party and said that it was the last chance for them to file the written

statement and argue the matter failing which they will lose their right to argue and the

Tribunal will proceed further with the proceedings as it was causing harm to the Complainant

who was appearing on every date diligently and had to go through the mental agony due to

the loss of job.

OBSERVATIONS:

I observed that the Tribunal was quite strict in its course of action which is appreciable as the

conduct the Defendant party was causing delay in serving justice and was also abusing the

process of law. Think that such stands and conduct of any party should be dealt strictly by the

Court in order to dissuade such malpractices.

COURT’s HOLIDAYS (16th JUNE, 20178 to 2nd JULY, 2018)


17

3rd JULY, 2018

An Application under Rule 6 of the Insolvency And Bankruptcy Rules 2016had to be filed
before the Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal and i was asked to assist in drafting the
application in the case of, and the following draft has been attached in Part B of this
Internship Report :

Thomas Global V. Tescos Logistics Pvt. Ltd.

FACTS

● The Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process had to be initiated against the Respondent as

● The total amount of debt due and payable by the Corporate Debtor to the Operational

Creditor is Rs.5,98,509.00 (Rupees Five Lakhs Ninety Eight Thousand Five Hundred and
Nine only) on account of logistic services provided by the Operational Creditor to the
Corporate Debtor. The Operational Debt is due from 10.04.2017, the date on which the
Operational creditor issued Invoice to the Corporate Debtor vide Bill No. TGL/17/0012.

4th JULY, 2018

There was no listed matter for us today for a change. I was given an opportunity to draft a
legal notice for termination of lease on behalf of our client, Smt. Kusum Jain. In the present
18

case, I was asked to draft a legal notice to the tenants of our clients terminating the lease as
they were not paying as the rent in accordance with the lease agreement.
After drafting the notice, I was asked to read the case file of Sunil Kumar Gupta vs
Government of NCT of Delhi & ors, in which the third financial upgradation of the Modified
Assured Career Progression Scheme was under dispute.

5th JULY, 2018

The first matter was in Tis Hazari Court titled Jagdish Goel vs Geeta Sachdeva listed for
arguments under Section 138 NI Act.
The second matter was in High Court of the case title Virendra Goel v State Gun, which was
dismissed as withdrawn.
After attending the matters, I was made to research on maintainability of Consumer
Compliant when the goods are meant for Commercial Purposes? To this I found that as far as
the words "commercial purpose" and livelihood" are concerned neither of these terms have
been defined under the Consumer Protection Act or under the Rules framed therein.
Therefore, interpretation of these words is to be seen as per the facts of the case and the
judgments as have been elucidated by the courts in a number of cases.

6th JULY, 2018


The first matter for the day was listed in High Court for the case titled National Agriculture
Cooperative Marketing Federation of India vs Union of India, where I witnessed the
arguments presented by the Counsel. Due to time constraints, the matter was then adjourned
to 17th October, 2017.
I then assisted the Counsel in inspection of files. I realised that whatever inspection is done in
the Court is being recorded and is done only after payment of requisite Court Fees i.e. Rs. 5 if
inspection is done in due course and Rs. 10 if inspection is done on an urgent basis.
I then witnessed mediation proceedings in the matter of Ramanand Gupta vs Unitech The
mediator-advocate however was sick and took the day off after a brief hearing. Since the
Counsel was busy, I then recorded the date on behalf of my client which was 24th September,
2018.
19

On reaching the office I was made to research on quashing of FIR in non-compoundable


cases. I observed that Complaints/FIRs are generally quashed by High Courts on an
application under Section 482 CrPC and not on behest of Complainants unless the case in
question predominantly bears civil flavour.

7th JULY, 2018

The first matter for the day was listed in Dwarka Court for the case titled M/s Trans Alma
Solutions Pvt Ltd v Alka Gupta. The said matter was listed for cross examination by the
Counsel. What I observed from the said cross examination was that the Counsels are not
supposed to ask leading questions to the witnesses/accused and the art of cross examination
lies in getting all the correct answers from them without actually raising objections.
The next case was related to withdrawal of the suit pursuant to a settlement reached between
the parties before the Hon’ble High Court. The clients realised that this litigation would be a
frivolous one and therefor the Counsel was asked to not continue it further. The suit therefore
was dismissed as withdrawn.
After attending the matters for the day I was made to research on some definitions under sec
2 of the Payment of Gratuity Act.
Once that was done I drafted an index of important dates for a case titled National
Agriculture Cooperative Marketing Federation of India vs Union of India.

10TH JULY, 2018

The first matter was listed in Rohini Court titled Anil Gupta vs. Narayan Singh Sagar. It
was a matter of permanent injuction under Order 39 CPC. The Court was of the view that the
Defendants were intentionally evading service of summons and hence certified that if the
Defendants failed to appear on the next hearing, the matter would be heard and determined
ex-parte.
20

I then I applied for certified copies by myself today in Patiala House Courts. First the
application is given to the reader and then its approved by the respective judge assigned to the
case. I witnessed a lot of other staff members inquiring about the certified copies on the next
window. I got to know that the certified copy could be procured at an earlier time by paying a
mark-up fee.

11TH JULY, 2018


Today, I went to the office of the Advocate to learn the substantial and nitty gritty methods to
maintain an office of the Advocate.
Law Library: I found it full of various files and books; it was an office cum law library,
containing digests, AIR and other legal references.
Case Files: It had one full almirah or rack for the case files which had been disposed off but
kept for record. Another rack was for the cases which are pending or going in the courts. It
was further categorized as per the Court in which the case was pending like- all cases pending
before the Rohini Court were put in one row and similarly others were placed in different
rows.
Client Register: All the records as to which case started when and who approached the
Advocate and on what date etc. were recorded in this register. It also mentioned the rack
number in which the client's file is put so that it became easy to have access to it anytime
without much struggle.
Maintenance of Accounts: It was maintained by the Munshi of the Advocate. It involved
different methods as how to charge fees from the Client. It involved charging fixed minimum
fees in few cases, fees per appearance, fees for the documentation, fees for stationery things,
fees for printing and typing etc.
I learnt how to maintain files and record of the cases.Moreover, the importance of
maintenance of law library and a disciplined decorum so as to make the client comfortable so
that he can feel ease while telling his case which shall be really helpful and relevant in
contesting the case.

12TH JULY, 2018


21

There was no matter listed in the Courts for the day. Therefore I researched on judgements on
law regarding sec 138 of Negotiable Instrument act. I happened to come across the case

of Rajesh Aggarwal v. the State and Anr [171 (2010) DLT 51], pronounced by the Hon’ble
Delhi High Court, whereby it stated the following: The offence under section 138 of N.I. Act
is an offence in the personal nature of the complainant and it is an offence made under N.I.
Act so that the trust in commercial transactions is not destroyed because of the
dishonour of cheques. When it is within the special knowledge of the accused as to why he is
not to face trial under section 138 N.I. Act, he alone has to take the plea of defence and
burden cannot be shifted to complainant. There is no presumption that even if an accused
fails to bring out his defence, he is still to be considered innocent. If an accused has a
defence against dishonour of the cheque in question, it is he alone who knows the defence
and responsibility of spelling out this defence to the court and then proving this defences is
on the accused.

13TH JULY, 2018


First matter was a mediation listed in Patiala House Courts. I accompanied Counsel in Patiala
House Mediation Centre for settlement of a case under Section 138 Negotiable Instruments
Act. The mediation proceedings failed to yield fruitful result and therefore the case was sent
back to Hon’ble Court for adjudication.
Since the day was comparatively easy, I used this time to go through the files of other cases
at the chamber. I got to know the types of documents attached for evidence in the files and
their sequencing, namely MLC Report, Ruqqa, Tehreer, Roznamccha, Supardarinaama, etc.

14TH JULY, 2018

I was given the case file S.K. Kochar Vs. Mr. Sumesh Wadhwa to be read thoroughly. It
was suit filed u/s 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act. I was to assist one of the Associates in
drafting of an Affidavit. I learnt that Affidavit is a written statement on Oath and is used as an
evidence in the Court of Law. An Affidavit follows a different but set pattern of drafting,
22

which includes necessary usage of words “I hereby solemnly declare that the facts given
above are true to the best of my knowledge and belief.”
Apart from the above, I also understood how an advocate maintains his diary and how it is
kept up-to-date. I was then asked to find and print some orders from the High Court website
in the cases which would come up for hearing in the coming days. I didn’t visit the court that
day and read files sitting in the chamber itself.

15TH JULY, 2018


I accompanied Counsel to High Court where the matter titled P.S. Gill v. Union of India was
listed. The case was concerned with Prevention of Corruption Act.
I then witnessed two arbitration proceedings. The matter in which we represented one of the
parties was presided over by a retired ADJ. In the other matter, we were the arbitrator. These
matters concerned settlement of payment between the parties. There were no other matters
listed in the court for us.

16TH JULY, 2018

I accompanied Counsel to NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal) to ascertain orders


passed in Numerous matter for and against M3M India Pvt. Ltd. in Court Numbers 2,3,4 & 6.
I assisted the counsel with inquiry and consolidation of the orders and Next dates of hearing.

18TH JULY, 2018

I assisted the counsel with research pertaining to Directions passed by Supreme Court in
Filing Of F.I.R. in Non- cognisable offences for a client who was wrongfully dispossessed of
his property in the area of Malviya Nagar, Delhi. There were no matters listed in courts
today.

CONCLUSION

To conclude the report, I would say that this internship experience was a great teacher for me
and also was an amazing learning experience. Though the strike did put a break on the entire
learning process, it did form a part of my internship experience.

It opened up the curtain between academic knowledge and its application in real life. It gave
me a taste of what I am going to do in my future. I felt privileged to be a part of the legal
fraternity and I was also lucky to have interned with Mr. PIYUSH. From his, I not only got to
learn the quirks of the legal profession as a lawyer but I also got to know the importance of
having a wide social base and the importance of networking.
92

One thing that will always stay with me is to be a successful and a passionate litigator, one
needs to love the heavy case files and the voluminous books and love to be surrounded by
them and feel awed by them.

All in all, the internship experience was fascinating as well as satisfying. It was an enriching
4 weeks which certainly made me think in a different way about various problems one sees in
his life. I am eagerly waiting to be able to do another internship soon.
