DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
MAJ. GEN. P.K. SHARMA (RETD.)

Professor and Director, Amity Law School
Dean Faculty of Law
At Amity Law School, we incessantly sculpt the personality of students through Academic and
Co-curricular activities which inculcate in students the skills and knowledge essential to be an
excellent advocate in the recent dynamic environment. In addition to organising Guest Lectures
by eminent professionals, at ALS, we also organise Competitions and Events like Legal
Conferences, Parliamentary Debates, Moot Court Competitions, Debates, and Quiz
Competitions. I believe that confidence is something one should wear every day. It adorns
one’s personality like nothing else. The Law School endeavours to transform law students into
the "Heirs of Justice" with the help of most competent Faculty and by giving them competitive
environment and inculcating in them moral, ethical, and legal principles to serve the society
with the finest skills acquired. Presently, there are around 500 Law students in Amity Law
School who promise the world a better future and who will definitely be the change in society.
The University is blessed to provide another opportunity to all the students in the form of the
5th Amity National Moot Court Competition, 2022. I feel so proud when I see such young
budding lawyers arguing so gracefully in the Courtrooms. The Moot Court Competition is not
about winning or losing. Moot Court is exceptionally important for any law student as it
provides practical knowledge about various aspects of the legal system. It is an exercise for
law students before they can actually practice in the Courts or in any field of law.
I hereby, welcome all the exceedingly talented teams to our University. Our Moot Court
Society will ensure that the Competition as well as their stay at the University will nurture the
participants in the best possible manner. Each one of us is striving hard to achieve the mission
of our Hon’ble Founder President and Hon’ble Chancellor of making this Institution one of the
most elite Institutions in the world. I also take this opportunity to convey our gratitude to the
Hon’ble Vice Chancellor, Pro-Vice Chancellor, and Dean of Students' Welfare for their
guidance, support, and blessings at each stage of this event. This event, or any event of the Law
School, could not have been successful without their support, as they have stood with our
department in every hour of need.
I wish the event a great success and may the best Team win.

20th – 22nd May, 2022
MOOT PROPOSITION
1. The Republic of Indiana is a democratic country in Southeast Asia. It comprises of 28

States and 8 Union Territories, each with a substantial degree of control over its own
affairs. Indiana is the second largest country of the world in terms of population and
got independence from the British Rule in 1949, nearly after a century’s struggle for
freedom. The Constitution of Indiana describes it as a “Union of States,” bound together
by a unique federal structure which has been incorporated in its Constitution, based on
the needs, requirements and history of the nation. The framers of the Indiana’s
Constitution, in their wisdom, believed that national integration would be best served
by a pluralistic federal model based on cooperative federalism. The Average Happiness
Index of Indiana is not very high and caste and religious centred controversies are
ubiquitous. Indiana has witnessed several communal riots since independence due to
multiplicity of reasons including religion, caste, creed, region and others.
2. Indiana broadly comprises of three categories of citizens. The first category of citizens
is that who earn their livelihoods in their native States. The second category of citizens
is that who migrated to the adjoining States to improve the prospects of their livelihood
and earn better and they sometimes end up securing a good position in prominent
industries and companies of those States. The third category of citizens is that who are
either self-employed or those who have low scale pay jobs in the Multinational
Corporations or Micro Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Indiana, being a land
of continental size and population, witnesses extensive migrations to the other States
for the purpose of securing jobs.
3. ‘Devbhoomi’ is a State located in the heart of Indiana and is also the adjoining State to
Kedar, the capital city of Indiana. Devbhoomi has shown a substantial growth in its
industrial output and overall economic development in the past few decades. As a result
of this, several prominent industries and Multi-National Companies (MNCs) have
shifted from Kedar to Devbhoomi. In keeping with the exemplary growth pattern and
fastest growing economy, Devbhoomi soon gained the status of ‘Developed State’ in
Indiana. Devbhoomi is divided into 101 Legislative Assembly seats and elections in
this State are widely influenced by caste and regional politics. There has never been
monopoly of a single political party, and several political parties have ruled the State
from time to time.
4. After elections in March 2019, Kranti Party formed Government in Devbhoomi with a
vast majority. This is the same party which also swept the 2018 Lok Sabha polls. Apart
from Devbhoomi, Kranti party also formed Government in three other States, namely
Sindhpur, Gomtinagar and Laxminagar. In 2019, after the results of these 4 states
assembly elections, 20 out of 28 State elections were won by the Kranti Party and it
turned out to be a spectacular performer. After forming the Government in Devbhoomi,
Kranti Party framed commendable policies which contributed to its overall burgeoning
and development. Many new factories and industries were set up, Government
approved Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and World Trade Centres were built and

20th – 22nd May, 2022
international manufacturers showed their willingness to invest therein. It was the era
when progress of Devbhoomi was on boost.
5. In 2019, Mr Rajendra Singh Ambata, a prominent leader of Kranti Party, was sworn in
as the Chief Minister of Devbhoomi. His conduct and policies are admired widely, and
he is adulated not only by the natives of Devbhoomi but also by the outsiders residing
in Devbhoomi. While Mr Rajendra Singh Ambata became the Member of Legislative
Assembly(MLA) from Kasnal, his elder son, Mr Teja Singh, was elected MLA from
Uchihar, and his younger son, Mr Shakti Singh was elected MLA from Chandan Nagar
constituency.
6. Looking at the triumph of Kranti Party and the rapid rate of development, Devbhoomi
started attracting people of other States to secure jobs in the private sector of this State,
as it offered them better opportunities, income and standard of living. The natives
expressed their resentment over this ongoing practice, as they believed that the outsiders
are depriving them of their benefits in their very own State. The tendency of outsiders
to work in Devbhoomi was an old practice, since the native people of Devbhoomi were
not very skilled and educated. This resulted in the outsiders receiving preference by the
employers in private sector as the jobs in that sector are mostly skill-based. Therefore,
the people from other States have been reaping these benefits since long. This is the
situation of approximately 80 out of 101 constituencies of Devbhoomi. Enraged by this
situation, the natives of Devbhoomi started protesting against it by demanding
reservation for themselves in the private sector jobs in Devbhoomi and urged the
Government to frame laws in this regard, on priority, for upliftment of their status.
7. Alike the industrial growth of Devbhoomi, the issue of reservation was also on rise and
turned into a revolution. After long protest and widespread media coverage, Kranti
Party decided to accommodate the demand of the natives of Devbhoomi and on the first
anniversary of formation of the Government, in a press conference, the Chief Minister
Mr Rajendra Singh Ambata declared that they would soon introduce a bill for the
reservation in private sector jobs for the local residents.
8. On 1st April 2020, Devbhoomi Legislature passed a Bill titled ‘Devbhoomi State
Employment Local Candidates Bill, 2020.’ The highlights of the Bill are as follows:
i. It shall come to force with immediate effect.
ii. The Act shall apply to all Companies, Societies, Trusts, Limited Liability
Partnership (LLP), Partnership Firms and any persons employing 10 or more
persons and entity as may be notified by the Government from time to time.
iii. After the commencement of the Act, every employer shall employ seventy-five
percent of the local candidates on the posts where the gross monthly salary or
wages are not more than fifty thousand rupees or as notified by the Government,
from time to time:
-Provided that the local candidates may be from any District of the State, but
the employer may, at his option, restrict the employment of local candidates
from any district to ten percent of the total number of local candidates;
-Provided further that no local candidate shall be eligible to avail the benefit
under the Act unless he/she registers himself/herself on the designated portal.

20th – 22nd May, 2022
9. After the commencement of this Act, while Devbhoomi locals expressed their gratitude
towards the Kranti Party for paying heed to their grievances, but the outsiders, those
who had migrated to Devbhoomi, turned indignant and opposed the Act being violative
of their Fundamental Rights. They organized protests and marches for revocation of the
Act. The grounds of their protests were that, they being the citizens of Indiana, have a
constitutionally guaranteed right of freedom to reside and settle in any part of the
territory of Indiana and, therefore, they should not be deprived of the same by enforcing
such a draconian law. Hot on the heels, even the private employers did not welcome
this Act wholeheartedly and they contended that it is an infringement of their freedom
to practice any profession or to carry out any occupation, trade or business. They further
contended that the Government is imposing a condition precedent on them to recruit
and hire candidates who might not possess requisite skills, resulting as a degrading
factor to the quality of development not only of Devbhoomi but also of entire Indiana.
The industrialists and all private sector employers condemned this move of Devbhoomi
Government.
10. The issue of the Reservation Act disturbed many groups and consequently, an NGO
named ‘Satat Vikas Sangh’(SVS) approached the Honourable Supreme Court of
Indiana through a Writ Petition (W.P. 351 of 2020), inter-alia demanding that the
alleged Act be declared unconstitutional. They contended that, prima facie, the Act is
violative of the Fundamental Right to freedom ‘to practice any profession, or to carry
on any occupation, trade or businesses, provided under Article 19(1)g of the
Constitution and also violates Articles 14, 15, 16(2), 16(3) and 21 of the Indiana
Constitution.
11. The Petitioner further contended that the Act infringes the right of employers to recruit
skilled persons in job which will hamper the performance of their businesses. It stated
that the Act supports concept of ‘sons of the soil’ which is against the spirit of
brotherhood and integrity as enshrined in the Preamble of the Constitution. Also,
Article 14 prohibits the Government to deny equality before the law and equal
protection of laws.
12. After the enactment of the Act, not only Devbhoomi but all the States which were ruled
by Kranti Party got surrounded by controversies. People turned out to streets, and this
invited massive media coverage. Due to increasing hostility between the locals and the
outsiders, clashes were also on rise and there were instances of brawl between the
Kranti Party workers and locals on one side and the outsiders at other.
13. While this was a burning issue in the country, one more incident took place, on 20 May
2020, in the Uchihar constituency of Devbhoomi, which shook the entire country. Two
women Anita and Sangeeta, aged 27 years and 24 years respectively, were brutally
raped and murdered while they were returning from their office in the evening. Due to
this incident, the law-and-order situation in Uchihar got disturbed and the Police is yet
to ascertain the perpetrators of this crime. A notion emerged in Uchihar that the rape
was committed by the locals, as both the victims were originally from other States.
14. Keeping in consideration the disturbed aesthetics of Uchihar and to maintain the image
of his son Mr Teja Singh, the MLA from Uchihar, Mr Rajendra Singh Ambata issued
5th ANMCC, 2022 10 | P a g e

20th – 22nd May, 2022
a Press Release, on 23 May 2020, stating, “The recent series of events are undoubtedly
unfortunate, but the Kranti Party strongly condemns the use of any kind of violence,
and we insist upon maintaining harmony and order. An amicable solution would be
decided in my address to the people of Uchihar at Patel Maidan at 12 Noon on 24 May
2020.”
15. Post this announcement, the outsiders got outrageous and thousands of people blocked
the roads to prevent the Chief Minister from entering Uchihar. Social media got flooded
and news relating to the protests were incessantly broadcasted by leading TV channels
on the night of 23 May 2020. In the morning around 6 :00 AM, on 24 May 2020, Mr
Teja Singh, along with 25 other armed personnel who were there to accompany him,
started their journey to Uchihar from Kasnal, the capital city of Devbhoomi. He moved
with this convoy of 25 persons as after the announcement made by the Chief Minister
to visit Uchihar he had detailed his security guards to stay at home for protection of his
family. The visit by Mr Teja Singh was planned to look after the preparations and to
welcome the Chief Minister in his constituency.
16. Near Negi Gaon, around 7 Kilometres before Patel Maidan, the convoy of Mr Teja
Singh saw that around 300 protestors have blocked the road ahead and are shouting
under provocation. Mr Kalia, one of the childhood friends of Mr Teja Singh, who was
there with him leading his convoy, called him and asked, “how to deal with this
disorderly conduct of protestors, as it looks like the protestors are turning violent and
they might harm us.”
17. Mr S.P. Pandey (D.S.P., Uchihar) stopped the convoy of Mr Teja Singh and insisted
upon returning, as the situation posed an imminent danger to Mr Teja Singh and his
associates. Instead of acceding to this request, Mr Teja Singh said that it is his own
constituency and since the Chief Minister is arriving, it is his paramount responsibility
to ensure that everything happens in a peaceful manner, as scheduled. Mr Teja Singh
asked the D.S.P. to remove the barricading so that he may proceed towards Patel
Maidan, but the latter refused to comply with this request due to security reasons. After
this conversation and repeated requests made by the D.S.P, Mr Teja Singh directed Mr
Kalia and four others to remove the barricades and asked the convoy to proceed and not
to stop under any circumstances.
18. While seeing the convoy of Mr Teja Singh approaching, the protestors started shouting
and raising their ‘lathis’ and asserted, “Today we will give a life lesson to Teja for what
he and his father have done to us.” Around 200 people started running towards Mr
Teja’s convoy, surrounded it and started shouting incessantly that the convoy will not
be allowed to go further. Mr Kalia’s vehicle was leading the convoy and during a heated
argument between associates of Mr Teja and protestors, one unidentified person threw
a handmade petrol bomb on Kalia’s vehicle, and the vehicle caught fire. Mr Kalia and
5 others who were there in the vehicle came out. Mr Kalia and his brother Mr Ranga
took out their licensed pistols and warned the protestors to step back, otherwise their
one negligent act could cost the lives of hundreds. Listening to this, the protestors got
outraged and surrounded every nook and corner of the convoy.
5th ANMCC, 2022 11 | P a g e

20th – 22nd May, 2022
19. On the perception of immediate threat, Mr Teja rang up to his associates to start the
vehicle immediately and rush towards Patel Maidan. He further directed his associates
not to stop whatever and whoever comes in between. Mr Kalia and his associates,
whose vehicles were put to fire by the mob, got into other vehicles of convoy and
proceeded towards Patel Maidan. Noticing this, the protestors started hitting the vehicle
with Lathis and began pelting stones on Mr Teja and Mr Kalia’s vehicles. Thereupon,
Mr Teja directed his driver Mr Vibhuti Singh to accelerate the vehicle at maximum
speed and not to stop even if stones were pelted on them.
20. In this clash, various protestors were severely injured. Three protestors namely, Mr
Vinay, Mr Ajay and Mr Mahesh came in front of Mr Teja’s vehicle in the expectation
that they will stop the cars, but that did not happen and Mr Teja’s car ran over these
three men who died on the spot having suffered grave injuries. After hitting these three
men, Mr Vibhuti lost control of the vehicle and the car crashed on road divider, and
stopped. Mr Teja, Mr Vibhuti and three others stepped out of the car with licensed arms.
After seeing Mr Teja standing on the road, the protestors came running towards him
with their lathis and iron rods. Seeing this, Mr Teja and his associates apprehending
that they might get in the clutches of the protestors, opened fire and escaped.
21. After this incident, the protestors found a man lying on the road wounded by a gunshot.
He was identified, as Mr Prashant Tamde, news reporter of ABC News. By the time,
the protestors arranged medical help for him and called the ambulance, Mr Prashant
died on the spot due to excessive bleeding.
22. This incident gave rise to a lot of hue and cry in entire Devbhoomi. Multiple FIRs were
filed against Mr Teja Singh and his associates. The incident was widely covered by
several media houses and CBI inquiry was demanded to get justice. Subsequently, on
30 May 2020, the Government of Indiana ordered CBI inquiry. The investigators
recovered various lathis, daratis and iron rods from the place of incident. They further
recovered bullet shells of pistols and rifles and sent them for forensic examination.
23. Meanwhile, CBI arrested Mr Teja, Mr Kalia, Mr Vibhuti, Mr Ranga and 7 others and
charged them under Sections 147, 148, 149, 302, 307, 326, 120-B and 34 of the Indiana
Penal Code, 1860. The matter was then tried by the CBI Court and it found all the
accused Guilty of the above-mentioned charges including murder of 3 protestors and
Mr Prashant Tamde. All accused persons were awarded the punishment of
imprisonment of life. Aggrieved by this, the accused appealed against this judgement
before the High Court of Devbhoomi. The High Court reversed the Judgment
pronounced by the CBI Court and acquitted all the accused persons on the ground that
the Prosecution failed to establish its case beyond all reasonable doubts.
24. Dissatisfied with the decision of the High Court of Devbhoomi, the Respondents
appealed to the Supreme Court of Indiana, in January 2022, and the Hon’ble Court has
admitted the Appeal. (Cr. App. No.5 of 2022).
25. Also, the Hon’ble Supreme Court of Indiana being satisfied that the Writ Petition filed
by the Satat Vikas Sangh (WP 351 of 2020) involves substantial question of law of
general importance, listed it for final hearing in the month of May 2022. Realizing that
the incident of Uchihar is the outcome of the Act passed by the Legislature of
5th ANMCC, 2022 12 | P a g e

20th – 22nd May, 2022
Devbhoomi and both, the Cr. App. 5 of 2022 and W.P.no. 351 of 2020 are interrelated,
the Chief Justice of Indiana clubbed them and placed them before the appropriate Bench
for final hearing in May 2022.
26. The Supreme Court of Indiana framed following issues:
(i) Whether the State Legislature of Devbhoomi has any specific power to make
laws/policies for domicile-based reservation and if yes, then to what extent?
(ii) Whether the State Government has the power to direct the employers of private
sector to reserve jobs for local candidates?
(iii) Whether the Devbhoomi State Employment of Local Candidates Act, 2020 is
constitutional?
(iv) Whether the accused are Guilty of the offence u/s 147, 148, 149, 302, 307, 326,
120-B and 34 of the Indiana Penal Code, 1860 and the High Court of
Devbhoomi has erred in acquitting them?

Ms. Urmila Tamde
House no. B-6, Shilpi Upwan, Uchihar, Devbhoomi
Date- 24/05/2020
I am Urmila Tamde, a resident of Uchihar, Devbhoomi. My son, Prashant Tamde, is a

Journalist for ABC News. This morning, at 7:00 AM, he left the home in a hurry, saying
that he had to cover some big news today as the Chief Minister was going to address a
huge crowd at Patel Maidan regarding the ongoing protests against the Devbhoomi
State Employment Local Candidates Act, 2020.
At around 1:00 in the afternoon, I received a phone call from Vijendra, who works as
a cameraman with my son at ABC News. He sounded extremely worried and was
puffing. He informed me that near Negi Gaon, the convoy of Teja Singh, which was on
its way to Patel Maidan, was surrounded by many protestors and there were violent
demonstrations by them. The situation got out of control of the police, and the crowd
became aggressive and started attacking the convoy. He further informed me that
Prashant was standing among the protestors and was reporting the whole incident.
Subsequently, Vibhuti, the driver of Teja Singh, drove the car towards the protestors at
high speed, leading to the deaths of 3 protestors right there at that moment, which
further led to the car getting dashed into the divider. Teja Singh, Vibhuti Singh, and 3
others came out of the car and started firing in order to get into other cars and keep the
crowd away from them. After they left, we found Prashant wounded by a gunshot. By
the time we could manage to arrange an ambulance, he was dead.
I want the suspects to be punished appropriately and let justice be done for my son.

Mr. Rampal Yadav
House no. D-84, Negi Gaon, Uchihar, Devbhoomi
Date- 24/05/2020
I am Rampal Yadav, a resident of Negi Goan, Uchihar, Devbhoomi. This morning, at 6:00
AM, I, along with 300 protestors against the new employment Act passed by the Ambata
Government, gathered near Negi Gaon, 7 kilometres before the Patel Maidan, where the
Chief Minister was going to address the crowd, to protest against the same.
At around 9:30 AM, Teja Singh was interrupted on his way to Patel Maidan by the
protesters who gathered around his convoy, and certain demonstrations began to show our
resentment. The situation worsened as Kalia and his brother, Ranga, took out their pistols
and warned us, which provoked the crowd. After some time, the driver of Teja Singh’s car,
Vibhuti Singh, started driving the car towards us at a high speed, leading to the deaths of
Vinay, Ajay, and Mahesh, who were my colleagues at Shankar Pvt. Ltd., as they were trying
to stop the car. The driver of the car lost control of the vehicle and dashed the car into the
divider. Teja Singh, Vibhuti Singh, and 3 others came out of the car and started firing in
order to get into other cars. They kept on firing, which led to the death of one journalist and
severe injuries to many of the other protestors.
I want the suspects to be punished appropriately and let justice be done to my fellow
brothers.

Statement of the Witnesses
(Before the trial court)
The witnesses have been examined, cross-examined, and re-examined, and the following
statements have been put on record by the court.
Persons examined:
1. Mr. Jayant Mishra
2. Mr. Kartikeya
3. Mr. Hari prasad
4. Mr. Dharmendar Kumar
5. Mr. Devender Singh
1. Mr. Jayant Mishra
I am a friend of the deceased Mahesh and Ajay. I definitely believe that Teja Singh, Kalia, and
Vibhuti Singh, who are also the accused in this case, killed my friends. From the time of their
arrival, they seemed to be well prepared, as they were well armed to create such a situation of
violence. They just created the violent circumstances of the protest as a means of creating fear
among the masses to suppress the protest.
2. Mr. Kartikeya
I was also a member of the protest. I saw that someone from the crowd threw a homemade
petrol bomb on Kalia’s car, which caused his car to catch fire, which escalated the situation.
After that, Kalia and five others stepped out of their car and warned the crowd to step back, but
due to the actions of Kalia and his associates, the protestors tried to get hold of him as he and
his associates were showing arms to them. After that, Kalia and others somehow managed to
escape.
3. Mr. Hari Prasad
When I was walking on the road near Negi Gaon at around 10:00 a.m. on 24/05/2020, I saw
that Teja’s car’s driver, Vibhuti Singh, who is also accused in the case, lost control of the car
and crashed into the divider of the road. After that, Teja, with four others, stepped out of the
car. The crowd, after seeing Teja on the road, tried to approach him, and upon this, Teja started
open firing.

4. Mr. Dharmendar Kumar
I was also a member of the protest. During the protest, when the protestors surrounded Teja
and his convoy, Teja’s car driver, Vibhuti, suddenly accelerated the car. The protestors tried to
stop the car, but it didn’t happen and the car ran over the protestors, leading to the deaths of
three protestors and others getting severely injured. After watching such a brutal killing, I ran
away from the protest.
5. Mr. Devender Singh
In the beginning, police tried to stop Teja and his convoy by putting up barricades. However,
after a brief argument between the officer and Teja, Kalia stepped out of the car, removed the
barricades, and proceeded with their convoy towards the protestors.Seeing the convoy, the
protestors started shouting the slogan against Teja, and then the violence between both sides
began.
