The activities undertaken by the Society shall be aimed at enabling the students to have a holistic understanding of constitutional principles and constitutional jurisprudence.

ABOUT THE COMPETITION

Principles of the Constitution evolve constantly in the form of doctrines, philosophies and theories; institutionalizing, extending and protecting multifaceted rights. The Constitution keeps growing in the form of a living tree and it affects the social, economic and political structure in insurmountable forms.

Development in the spheres of the Constitution demands constant examination and re-examination of the perceptions which construe the status quo of Constitutional discourse. An understanding of these developments is largely undertaken through an in-depth and thorough analysis of judgements which are passed by our Courts and as such, promoting originality and continuation of such discourse is essential to the growth of the living tree of the Constitution.

This Case Commentary Competition seeks to promote original thought, Constitutional discourse and analysis amongst students, researchers, academicians and legal practitioners.
