………We and his thoughts
(This is a conversation between two law students He and She)
He: Hi, how are you?
She: Fine.
He: What you did in these vacations?
She: I had an internship under one of the senior advocate of Supreme Court. What about you?
He: Apart From my CS exam, I read “MY EXPERIMENTS WITH TRUTH” by M.K. GANDHI
She: I was also planning to go through it. Is it helpful to law students?
He: Yes it is. Infact not only to law students but to each and every person, irrespective of his profession, age etc… but I will focus on those aspects which a law student can relate to and learn from.
She: I will try to relate
He: Gandhiji said “a man of truth should be a man of care also”
She: True, a law student can relate it to Limitation Act-the law of limitation prevents persons from enforcing their own rights, and disputing the right of others, after a certain period of time. Vigilanbibus non dormentibus jura subvenient i.e., the law assist the vigilant and not those who sleep over their rights.
He: Gandhiji said “a system should be such, so that the weakest and poorest feel safe and secure”
She: True we have fundamental rights for every person irrespective of his status, sex etc.. Similarly we have legal aid Article 39A of Indian constitution (amicus curiae) Bhagwati .J., observed in Hussainara’s case (AIR 1979 SC 1373) “a procedure which does not make available legal services to an accused person who is too poor to afford a lawyer and who, therefore go through the trial without legal assistance, cannot possibly be regarded as ‘reasonable, fair and just’”
He: Gandhiji said “a student can learn more when taught independently of books”
She: True this I experienced in these vacations, in the internship I learned a lot and the process of learning was very easy to grasp and retain.
He: These were few points which a law student can relate to learn from .You have experienced these things, but need to realize the experience and experiment with them.
She: I request you to please give me the book, so that I can go through it.
He: I will, even Gandhiji wanted free flow of knowledge, idea, etc. . You need not request me I feel happy sharing knowledge and ideas.
She: Thank you.
“Even truthfulness in the practice of the profession cannot cure it of the fundamental defect that vitiates it.”-M.K. Gandhi
