Moot Court

The Rotary Club of Bombay, through its Legal Aid Committee under the Chairmanship of Rtn. Ashwin Thakkar in association with Mooting Committee of Government Law College, held the 46th Sir Jamshedji Kanga Memorial Government Law College Intra-College Moot Court Competition, 2019.

This Moot Court Competition is one of India’s oldest moots, having been conceived by our very own Senior Advocate Rtn. Jimmy Pochkhanawalla while he was a student and Rotaract President of Government Law College in 1972.

He was later associated with the Moot Court Association of Government Law College. This competition occupies a special place in the history of the Government Law College, Mumbai, being this college’s first ever Moot.

This year, the Moot Proposition was based on Company Law, focusing mostly on Board of Directors duties. It was held on April 28th, 2019 at the Government Law College, Mumbai with 16 participating teams. It consisted of preliminary, quarter, semi-final and final rounds and was presided over by Retired Honourable Justice Markandey Katju, Supreme Court of India, Bharat Manubarwala and our very own Rtn. Ashwin Thakkar.

Prizes were awarded to the Second-Best Team and Best Speaker while the Best Team was presented with a Rotating Silver Trophy sponsored by the Rotary Club of Bombay.
