Internship under Mr. Vijay Ahuja, Senior Advocate, District and Court of
Sessions, Agra
I had the privilege of undertaking an internship under the esteemed guidance
of Mr. Vijay Ahuja, a Senior Advocate specializing in the District and Court
of Sessions in Agra. This internship was a significant component of the NTCC
Summer Internship program, where students were given the invaluable

During my internship, I was exposed to the dynamic environment of the court
and had the chance to observe various legal proceedings. It was a fascinating
and educational experience to witness the proceedings unfold, from the initial
stages of filing petitions and applications to the final stages of argumentation
and judgment. This exposure allowed me to comprehend the intricate

with researching relevant case laws, statutes, and legal precedents to support
ongoing cases. This process honed my research skills and equipped me with a
deeper understanding of the legal principles underlying various matters.
Additionally, I had the privilege of assisting in the drafting of legal notices,
which required meticulous attention to detail and adherence to established
legal conventions.

Conclusion

With over 35 years of experience practicing law, Mr. Ahuja proved to be an

distinguishing factor was the discipline and professionalism exhibited by the

DAILY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Throughout the duration of my internship, I was entrusted with various

responsibilities that contributed to my professional growth. These tasks
included attending case proceedings, reading assigned case files, and
conducting research for ongoing cases. Mr. Vijay Ahuja, our mentor, provided
comprehensive briefings on the functioning of District Court Proceedings and
emphasized the importance of maintaining a code of conduct both in the court
and in the office.

Given Mr. Ahuja's focus on criminal cases, he would gather all the interns
during our free time to discuss the ongoing matters and outline the next steps
to be taken. During the third week of my internship, I was assigned the task of
tracking and noting down the next dates of hearings for different cases. This
responsibility allowed me to gain valuable experience and develop a deeper
understanding of the legal process.

Furthermore, I had the incredible opportunity to accompany Mr. Ahuja to

court hearings. This hands-on experience allowed me to witness the practical
application of legal principles and observe the strategies employed by
experienced advocates.

Overall, these daily duties and responsibilities exposed me to the realities of

legal practice and contributed to my professional development. The guidance
and trust placed in me by Mr. Ahuja enabled me to actively contribute to
ongoing cases and enhanced my understanding of the intricacies of court
proceedings.

CASE 1

Name of the Case: P.D. Private I.T.I V/s Vidhut Vitran Khand-I, Through its
Executive Engineer Dakshinanchal Vidhut Vitran Nigam Ltd., Mathura.

Name of the Court: District Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission

Mathura

Facts of the Case:

The complainant, P.D. Private I.T.I, applied for a 5 K.W. electricity

connection from the opposite party, Vidhut Vitran Khand-I, by submitting the
required connection charges amounting to Rs. 11,600/- on 03.11.2016. The
payment was made through receipt No.16/A-745165.
Although the opposite party sanctioned the service connection, the area where
the training institute was located did not receive electricity supply during the
day time.
Despite repeated requests for regular electricity supply, no action was taken
by the opposite party. Finally, in September 2017, the complainant requested
the opposite party to disconnect the electricity.
On 09.09.2017, an employee of the opposite party arrived to remove the
electricity meter but, instead, disconnected the electricity line by removing the
cable from the complainant's premises. The opposite party also issued a
temporary disconnection slip indicating an outstanding bill of Rs. 32,340/-.
The complainant lastly contacted the opposite party on 12/04/2021, explaining
their grievances and providing all relevant facts. They requested the waiver of
the entire fictitious dues, as no electricity was consumed on the premises since
09.09.2017.
Thus, it is evident that the opposite party violated the provisions of the
Electricity Supply Code, 2005, as well as Section 56(1) of the Electricity Act,
2003.
 P a g e | 12

Current Position of the Case:

The court has ruled that the opposite party is not entitled to recover the
outstanding amount, as they failed to provide electricity supply to the institute.
Multiplying the electricity dues without actual consumption and resorting to
legal action for recovery beyond the stipulated period, as prescribed under
Clause 6.1(g) of the Code 2005 and Section 56(1) of the Electricity Act, 2003,
is not permissible.

CASE 2

Name of the Case: Shri Manmohan Chawla V/s HDFC ERGO General
Insurance Company Ltd.; Hyundai Assurance, Hyundai Motor India Ltd.;
NRL Hyundai workshop-NRL Hyundai

Name of the Court: District Consumer Disputed Redressal Commission

Facts of the Case:

The complainant purchased a L.M.V. car from M/s Arvind Vehicles Pvt. Ltd.,
which was insured by the first opposite party. The insurance was valid from
06/05/14 to 05/05/2015 and was arranged through the second opposite party.
On 01/07/2014, the complainant met with an accident and subsequently took
his car to the third opposite party for repairs on 10/07/2014. The complainant
submitted an insurance claim form to the first and second opposite parties,
which was then forwarded to the third opposite party.
The complainant has not sought relief against the third opposite party. Instead,
relief has been sought solely against the first and second insurance companies.
However, both parties failed to make the full payment of Rs. 35,380/- under
the cashless claim settlement scheme, for which the complainant had already
paid a premium of Rs. 5,862/-.

Current Position of the Case:

The court considered the report of the surveyor for the assessment of the loss.
In the absence of contradictory evidence, the forum found no reason to doubt
the surveyor's report. Consequently, the case has been dismissed, and both
parties have been ordered to bear their respective costs.

Company Ltd.

Name of the Court: District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission

Facts of the Case:

The complainant was approached by an executive from the first opposite party
who convinced him to purchase a policy. On 29/08/2011, the complainant
paid an initial premium of Rs. 16,000/- for the said policy.
The policy had an annual limit of Rs. 5,00,000/-, with a commencement date
of 30/08/2011 and a cover cessation date of 30/08/2054. Unfortunately, the
complainant met with an accident, and the opposite party rejected the claim
without considering the merits of the case. They appointed an investigator
based on false grounds, alleging that the complainant was suffering from
coronary artery disease.
The opposite party wrongfully and unlawfully repudiated the legitimate claim
made by the complainant.

Current Position of the Case:

The present complaint has been upheld, and the opposite parties are directed
to pay the genuine claim amount under the policy within 45 days from the
date of the order. Additionally, the opposite party is held liable to pay Rs.
