ABOUT THE ORGANISERS:<\/p>\n

Government Law College, Mumbai in association with the Chief Justice M. C. Chagla Memorial Trust is pleased to announce the 31st<\/span> M. C. Chagla Memorial Government Law College National Moot Court Competition, 2024 to be held on 13th<\/span> October and 26th<\/span> October 2024<\/span>, along with a Panel Discussion to be held on 25th<\/span> October, 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Moot Court Association of Government Law College has been hosting the M. C. Chagla Memorial Moot Court Competition for several years. It began as a city-level Moot Court Competition, which was later expanded to a state-level Competition. Due to the overwhelming response that we have been receiving, the Competition, since its 18th<\/span> edition, has been raised to a national platform.<\/p>\n

The Late Mr. M. C. Chagla was appointed as the First Indian Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court. He also served as the Ambassador to USA, Mexico, Cuba, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Bombay, High Commissioner to England and Union Minister for Education.<\/p>\n

Chief Justice M. C. Chagla also served as a Professor of Constitutional Law at Government Law College, Mumbai for a number of years. He worked tirelessly for the causes of civil liberty, individual freedom and political democracy and this Moot Court Competition promises to be a fitting tribute to his legacy.<\/p>\n

The M. C. Chagla Memorial National Moot Court Competition is accompanied by a panel discussion that delves into current socio-legal questions, that often relate closely to the Proposition. The tradition was resumed last year, to make for a more informative and engaging event for participants and attendees alike. Featuring esteemed figures and practitioners from the legal field, this discussion offers unique insights into contemporary legal and societal issues.<\/p>\n

Last year’s Panel Discussion, held on the topic ‘Frequent Internet Blackouts: Protecting National Interest or Suppressing Free Speech?’, was presided over by renowned lawyers such as Mr. Janak Dwarkadas, Mr. Mihir Desai, Mr. Hitesh Jain, Mr. Sharan Jagtiani, and Prof. Kishu Daswani as the Moderator.<\/p>\n

This year, we are pleased to announce that the panel discussion will take place offline at Government Law College, Mumbai, on 25th October, 2024. We extend a warm invitation to all those interested in attending the Panel Discussion.<\/p>\n
