05-10-2026

The Indian Institute of Legal Studies, Siliguri, successfully concluded the 3rd Intra Moot Court Competition, 2026, held on the 3rd of October 2026. Organised by the Moot Court Society, the competition witnessed enthusiastic participation from 31 teams comprising students of Semester I from the B.A. LL.B. (Hons.), B.B.A. LL.B. (Hons.), and B.Com. LL.B. (Hons.) programmes.

The moot proposition centred on a contemporary legal dispute involving consumer protection, deficiency of service, professional guarantees, fraud, compensation, defamation, and constitutional rights. The proposition involved a dispute arising from professional astrology services, raising significant questions concerning the maintainability of proceedings before the Civil Court vis-à-vis the Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, deficiency of service and false professional guarantees, and the competing rights to reputation under Article 21 and to practise a profession under Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution.  

Moot court competitions serve as an indispensable cornerstone of legal education, bridging the gap between classroom theory and courtroom reality. Through rigorous research, memorial drafting, and legal argumentation, these exercises cultivate advocacy skills, analytical thinking, and professional confidence, shaping the next generation of legal professionals.
