that seek to utilize the rehabilitative opportunities. Imprisonment offers, combining
it with the essential restorative justice a meeting between offender, victim and
community.

be his rank or condition, is subject to jurisdiction of ordinary courts.
The Internship Program with Advocate Rakesh Chaudhary started from 02.07.2018
to 08.08.2018 has been an immensely commendable experience for me.
District court is the base without which superior judicial cannot stand. It is the
court of original jurisdiction. No one except in case of breach of fundamental
rights can directly approach High Court and Supreme Court without approaching
the District and Sessions Court. In High Courts and Supreme Court both the civil
and criminal cases are heard. The structure of Lower Judiciary in Indian Judicial
system hierarchy is divided into two parts on is District Court which deals with
civil cases and the other is Session Court which deals with criminal cases. This
difference is more for theoretical understanding of the Hierarchy, though in reality
the judges for both district and session can be same. The District Courts are at the
top of all the subordinate or lower courts. They are however under the
administrative control of the High Court of the State to which the District Court
belongs to. Their jurisdiction is confined to the districts they are responsible for,
which could be just one or more than one. The original jurisdiction of the District
Courts in civil matters is confined by not just the territorial limitations, but by
pecuniary limitations as well. The pecuniary limitations are laid down by the
legislature and if the amount in dispute in a matter is way above the pecuniary
jurisdiction of the District Court, then the matter will be heard by the concerned
High Court of that State. In case of criminal matters, the jurisdiction of the courts
is laid down by the legislature. The decisions of the District Courts are of course
subject to the appellate jurisdiction of the High Courts. Apart from these judicial
bodies who enforce the laws and rules lay down by the legislature and executive
and also interpret them (the Supreme Court & High Courts), there are numerous
quasi judicial bodies who are involved in dispute resolutions. These quasi judicial
bodies are the Tribunals and Regulators.
GENERAL OBSERVATION OF FUNCTIONING OF DISTRICT COURT
In a District, there are different Additional District Judges and Addl. Sessions
Judges, then there is a Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Addl. Chief Metropolitan
Magistrate, Metropolitan Magistrate, Senior Civil Judge, Add. Senior Civil Judge
and Civil Judges.
The plaint filed in the court is given to the defendant and are asked to appear
before the court with a reply to the plaint. When the defendant comes and files the
reply, proceedings of the case starts. In the proceedings proper system is used and
respective courts arrives with the decision. In case if any of the part is not satisfied
with the decision of the court then it can appeal for it in the higher court. File
includes various forms, brief facts by the plaintiff along with the allegations and
prayer to the court, reply to the allegations and prayer to cancel the case by the
defendant, affidavits by both the parties, recording of the statements of the
witnesses and their cross and re-examinations in civil suits. Now in the case of
appeal new file is not formed, the statements recorded earlier are only relied upon
in the higher court though the unsatisfied party presents the additional grounds in
the appeal. This is generally observed in the civil suits.

ORDER/JUDGMENT: PENDING
EXPERIENCE DURING THE INTERNSHIP
The District Court in reality is different from the court generally shown in the
Movies. In movies the job of lawyer is more similar to a detective which is a far
cry from the reality. The job of a lawyer is only to assist a party in a suit regarding
the proceedings and appear before Judge on his behalf. Every lawyer maintains a
court diary, which proved handy and very useful as all the details of the case are
entered in the diary with proper date and its petition number. It proves to be useful,
as respective cases are recorded by the lawyer date wise and it saves time to think
and search of the cases as per the present date. During my internship, I learned to
maintain the lawyer’s diary. I learned how to take dates from the court from the
registers. I myself has submitted an application of non-appearance on behalf of my
Sir before the Hon’ble Judge. It was a learning experience as Juniors take one year
for learning the court proceedings which I could learn during the period of
internship. Though two months was not sufficient but it was enough to learn about
the basis. Basics can be learned only in trial court. I have learned the basics of
drafting. I could get to know about Fast Track Court and Lok Adalat which is an
emerging concept. I really tried hard to learn. It was adventurous for me as
everything was unpredictable. Every client comes with a new case, new situation, a
new problem and which doesn’t have any perfect answer. I also experienced the
expressions and thoughts of the Hon’ble Judges. When they are in good mood,
they will tell you how to do the things correctly but if not then they will scold you
for the simple mistakes you have done. About advocates I experiences that it is not
easy to work as an advocate, it requires a lot of dedication and hard work, only
then you can achieve success, and most importantly social recognition.
This was a common practice among all advocates to never come on time and keep
their clients waiting before the court. They also would never present W.S. (written
statement) before the court on time, and also the witness on time, and then ask the
court to issue a further date for next hearing. In the office I learned all the official
work, filing Talwana, Vakalatnama etc. All these documents are very important
and an advocate must know how to fill them and use them, Talwana is used for
many things such as for issuing attach warrant, issuing notices etc.
I also learned that it is very important to be always reading cases and new
enactments, keep yourself always sound minded, and while dealing with a case
read the facts of the case very carefully and try to find all the loopholes and then
use them in your favour, also while cross questioning with the witness never allow
him/her to be confident ask them twisted questions so that they become nervous
and are not able to answer properly.

1. That the complainant is a peace loving and law abiding citizen of India and permanent
2. That the sister of the complainant namely Ms. Neha was married to Rahul i.e. accused
no.2 on 30.11.12 but due to reasons mentioned in the complaint filed against Rahul and
his family members which was given in PS on 23.12.16 in PS Burari, she was living in
her matrimonial home along with the complainant and his family members. The
said complaint lodged by Ms. Neha is annexed herewith for kind perusal of this Hon'ble
Court.
3. That earlier there were problems in the relations of Ms. Neha and accused no.2 and his
family members. Consequently, an FIR No. 821/14 u/s 313/120-B/34 was lodged
against accused no.2 Rahul and his family members. But the same was quashed by the
Hon’ble High Court of Delhi with the consent of Neha because she was always interested
in settling the matter so that the matrimonial house of Neha could be carried on without
any problem. When every limit had been crossed over by accused no.2 and 3 and their
family members, then, Neha had filed a writ petition before the Hon’ble High Court of
Delhi on 21.12.2015 for reopening the above said FIR and filed the above said
complaint to PS Burari against accused no.2 and 3 and their family members. Notice had
been issued by the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi to accused no.2, 3 and their family
members.
4. That in the meantime, accused no.2 continuously followed the complainant while going
to PNB Model Town Delhi (office of the complainant where the complainant works) so
as to frighten the complainant and his family members and restraining his sister so that
Neha can be stopped from taking any legal action against accused no.2, 3 and their family
members. One live incarnation of such incidents is that accused no.2 followed the
complainant in the month of Aug 2016 & Nov 2016 in Beat car No. 2224 which was
given to the accused no.2 by the complainant and his family members in Dowry upon
their demand in the marriage. Accused no.2 warned the complainant to avoid any type
of complaint / any type of legal action against him and his family members, failing which
5. That on 27.12.2016, the complainant was going towards Hanuman Mandir situated on
Main Burari Road at about 9.45 PM, accused no.1 and other accused persons were
standing on the Nala with Lathi, Danda & Iron Rod. The Accused no.1 called the
complainant saying that “you come here.” Before leaving the house, the complainant
asked Mr Vicky to accompany him to the temple. Upon their call, the complainant
reached there and asked, “what is the matter.” Accused no.1 said that “why you people
are taking legal action against Rahul and his family members. Don’t you know that
Sunny is our fast friend.” When the complainant refused to intervene in the matter of
Neha, accused no.1 hit the scalp of the complainant, on the posterior side, with Lathi and
other accused persons hit the complainant with danda at stomach (front side),right leg
knee, Shoulders & waist of the complainant. The rear side of the head sustained a
C.L.W. of 2 CM x .5 CM which was bleeding upto the Hospital as per M.L.C. The
accused persons also snatched the money amounting to Rs 200/- & one mobile phone
bearing no. 8745844616 & 7551112523 having IMEI Nos. 867634021590342 &
867634021590359 thereby committing dacoity. In the meantime, Vicky also came there
and when he tried to reason out the accused, they also beat him but he sustained minor
injuries. The complainant ran towards his house by raising hue and cries. When Swati
Gaur (sister of complainant), heard the cries of the complainant, she came out of the
house and made a call at PCR from her mobile no 7065494082. The accused persons,
while retreating, also extended the threats to restrain from proceeding further against
Rahul & his family members failing which they threatened with dire consequences.
Needless to mention here that the entire incidence has been done by the accused no.1 and
his associates at the instance of the Rahul & Sunny with the motive to deter Neha and her
family members including the complainant not to make any compliant or take any legal
action against them. Accused no.1 and his associates are the friends of accused no.3 and
the complainant can identify the other accused persons if they are brought before him.
6. The MLC bearing No. 4322/16 was made in the Arun Asaf Ali Hospital on 27.12.16. IO
of the case namely Sh Balraj SI has not taken any action in the matter. Rather he called
the complainant to the PS on 29.12.16. He twisted the facts so as to lighten the grave
intensity of the incidence and mould the facts accordingly. IO of the case said that “if
you do not act according to my terms and conditions, I will not take any action in the
matter”. It is a matter of surprise that the complainant acted according to the whims and
fancies of the IO, but still he has not taken any action in the matter.
7. That till date the police has not taken any action against the accused and their associates,
who are moving freely and threatened the complainant and his family members not to
lodge any case against them otherwise they will face the dire consequences.
8. That under these circumstances, the complainant is under anticipation that the accused
and their associates can repeated their illegal designs again because the local police has
miserably failed to take any action against the accused persons who are freely moving in
and around the local area while threatening the complainant and his family members.
PRAYER:-
It is, therefore, most respectfully prayed that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to summon the
accused, try and punish them according to provisions of law under the Indian Penal Code, in the
interest of justice.
Any other order and/or directions, which this Hon’ble Court deem fit and proper would
like to also be passed in favour of the complainant and against the accused.
