Participants were challenged to analyse the law through the lens of gender justice, constitutional morality and contemporary labour rights, reflecting the kind of nuanced reasoning expected before constitutional courts in India.
The competition commenced with an inspiring opening ceremony addressed by Prof. Alka Chawla, Dean, Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, as Chief Guest, and Mr. Arun Chawla, Director General, Indian Council of Arbitration (ICA) and Former Director General, FICCI, as Guest of Honour.
