Visit to the District Session Court

“An advocate should know everything about something and something about everything,” said senior Advocate Mr. Angrej Singh Sandhu as he began our guided tour of the Patiala District Court on 2nd August. This visit, organised for the Legal Studies students, provided a profound glimpse into the legal world. We started with an engaging session led by Ms. Manni Arora (JMIC), Secretary, District Legal Service Authority. She shared her inspiring journey and explained the ADR Centre’s role in mediation and free legal aid under Section 12. We also met Ms. Rupinderjit Chahal, the Sessions Judge and Ms. Deepika Singh, Additional Principal Judge of the Family Court, who offered valuable insights into judicial processes. Observing the Ahlmads, where case records are meticulously maintained, highlighted the court’s dedication to thorough documentation. Our tour also included visits to the bar room and the court library, underscoring the need for continuous learning. This visit was an an eye opener for Legal Studies students and it surely motivated us to pursue our academic and professional goals with renewed passion.
