About the Moot Court Competition 2025
The Moot Court Competition 2025 simulates the experience of appellate court hearings. Participants will engage in preparing written submissions (memorials) and present oral arguments before a panel of judges. This year’s problem is based on family law and constitutional morality, with intricate questions involving maintenance under Section 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act, live-in relationships, and gender-neutral interpretation of laws.
Students will gain exposure to current jurisprudential debates and the evolving constitutional landscape of India. The event will be conducted in hybrid mode—online preliminary rounds and an offline final round at SVVV Campus, Indore.
