Chandigarh, January 9

The National Institute of Military Justice (NIMJ) based at Washington DC in the United States has invited two law professionals from the city as international fellows.

While Major Navdeep Singh, a lawyer practising in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, has been constituted an international fellow for his contribution to constitutional and military law, the fellowship has been conferred upon Shruti Bedi of the University Institute of Legal Studies, Panjab University, for similar contribution to constitutional and criminal law.

The NIMJ is an American non-profit organisation founded in 1991 dedicated to the fair administration of justice in the armed forces and improving public understanding of military justice.

Both have remained active in the legal field and research and have authored several books. “March to Justice: Global Military Law Landmarks” and “Arrest and Detention in India: Law, Procedure and Practice” were recent books edited by Navdeep and Shruti, respectively, which were released last month.
