Daulatbhai Trivedi Law College, a constituent of the Navgujarat Group of Colleges, successfully organised its Second Internal Moot Court Competition on February 3, 2026, reaffirming its commitment to experiential legal education. The competition revolved around one of the most pressing and contemporary constitutional debates—the conflict between the Right to Privacy and the Gujarat Prohibition Act.
Held under the guidance of Dr Ankitkumar Rami, Principal, Daulatbhai Trivedi Law College, the event aimed to strengthen students’ legal reasoning, constitutional interpretation and advocacy skills through simulated courtroom practice.
Addressing the participants, Dr Ankitkumar Rami said, “Moot court exercises are a vital bridge between classroom learning and courtroom reality. Platforms like these help students sharpen their analytical abilities, understand constitutional values in depth and develop the confidence required of future legal professionals.”
The competition was meticulously coordinated by Dr Lataben Menat, Moot Court Coordinator and Assistant Professor, who guided the participants through procedural norms, memorial preparation and the nuanced legal frameworks governing constitutional adjudication.
Explaining the academic intent of the exercise, Dr Lataben Menat remarked, “Our objective was to expose students to complex constitutional conflicts and encourage them to argue from multiple perspectives. Moot courts cultivate discipline, research orientation and ethical advocacy—qualities that define a sound legal practitioner.”
Arguing the hypothetical case of Arav Oberoi vs State of Gujarat, students demonstrated exceptional preparation and intellectual depth. Through a comparative analysis of the landmark K.S. Puttaswamy judgment and the statutory provisions of the Gujarat Prohibition Act, participants presented structured, persuasive submissions marked by strong legal research, courtroom etiquette and confident oratory.
The programme concluded with a formal vote of thanks delivered by Dr Rinku Darji, Assistant Professor, who acknowledged the collective effort behind the event’s success.
Expressing gratitude, Dr Rinku Darji said, “Such academic initiatives are possible only through institutional support and student enthusiasm. I sincerely thank the college administration, the judges and our students for making this moot court competition an enriching and memorable experience.”
The event once again underscored Daulatbhai Trivedi Law College’s focus on practice-oriented legal education, encouraging students to engage critically with constitutional law and contemporary legislative challenges.
