26 teams from nine states to take part in moot court competition

Seventy-eight delegates comprising 26 teams from nine states on Saturday reached Sriganganagar to participate in the First Dr SS Tantia Moot Court Competition-2025 being organised by the Law Faculty in the Tantia University.

At the inauguration ceremony, Dr Ram Manohar Lohia National Law University Vice-Chancellor Prof Amarpal Singh was the chief guest, while Rajesh Kumar and Prof Bharat from Panjab University were special guests. The chairman of Tantia University Sunita Tantia presided over the session. Host university VC Prof MM Saxena also shared the stage.

Convener of the competition Saurabh Garg welcomed the guests.

Delegates from Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Delhi, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Gujarat are participating in the competition.

Announcing the formal inauguration of the event, Sunita Tantia said through this programme the participants will take the best memories with them.

The chief guest said law cannot be learned from the knowledge taught in class. “As an advocate or a judge, we see different types of situations. To learn law, it is not only necessary to have knowledge of English but also an understanding of local languages,” he added.

Bharat said the Advocate should also be honest in behaviour, besides being clever and courageous. Rajesh Kumar said, “We should not forget what we learn in law and justice.” He said people involved in moot court will become advocates in future. In such a situation, they have to understand the recently implemented laws, he added.

Vice-Chancellor MM Saxena appreciated holding such a grand event in Sriganganagar. He said the participation of teams from various states was a good sign.

Law students from across the country will be demonstrating legal efficiency, logic and advocate skills in this national-level moot court competition.
