My sir is a very busy lawyer with lots of cases in hand, this gave me
an opportunity to grasp more and more in short period. My sir
assigned me some quality work which I was capable of doing and
understanding. Since I completed my 2 years of course and have not
studied main subjects of law, this made understanding of every law
little difficult for me on which my sir researched on. My work was
confined to tasks like drafting, finding case laws, some research work
and organizing files & documents.
Often, I used to go for filing of the case, receiving certified copies and
for other enquiries. I attended a lot of court proceedings during this
period and this helped me a lot in understanding the actual working of
the court and conduct of various people present in the court room.
I have also done all the miscellaneous work of the chamber which
made work easier for my seniors also it’s the basic of doing any work
which a law student should know.

CASE FILE-UPDATION AND
MAINTENANCE
During the initial days of the training, I was introduced to the clientele of the
Firm by being given task of reading and maintaining the case files and updating
the same as the dates of hearing passed by. I was also provided by the court
diary for keeping a track of the court hearing dates as well as keep a brief of
each of court proceedings. During the study of such field, I came across many
facts of the civil and criminal cases as follows –
CIVIL CASES:-
1) The files are divided into four parts – The pleadings, the documents, the
orders and the miscellaneous document.
Initial plaint with the facts and circumstances of this case and the relief claimed.
After every hearing of the court, within a span of 4-5 days, the copies of court
were applied and also got order through on the court websites -
www.delhihighcourt.nic.in and www.delhidistrictcourts.nic.in . I was required
to take out the printout of such court orders and update the files in chronological
order. These orders are later referred to for preparation for the next date of
Hearing in the courts. These Orders are later referred to the preparation for the
next date of Hearing in the courts. These internet orders cannot be used for any
legal purposes but in case any such order is required for any legal use, which
may include the written transcripts of the cross Examination and statements of
the witnesses or the final orders, one can apply for Certified copy in the court
through a Certified Copy Form. A copy of the CC Form is annexed with this
report for immediate reference. Such a Certified Copy has a legal identify and
can be used at various agencies.
In all the files, before being taken up, the client is required to sign a
Vakalatnama or a Declaration of Representation which enables the Counsel to
Appear in the court of Law and the original has to be submitted to the court
before appearing on behalf of the respective parties as their legal counsel in the
court.
All the plaints and other legal documents require a specific Court value and
the need suit valuation before being filed/ submitting in the court of law for e.g.-
For Vakalatnama – 1. Advocate Welfare Stamp of Rs. 5/- and court fee of
Rs. 2/-
For Process Fee Form – Rs. 2/- (Court fee for No.1 of pages is different)
For Certified Copy Form – Rs. 4/-
For File Inspection Form – Rs. 5/- or Rs. 10/-
The suit valuation and stamp duty of the suit is calculated by a specific
chart given in the Court Fee Stamp Act 1899 and the Suit Valuation Act
1887. They are to be referred and the stamp duty/court fee is to be paid
accordingly. The court fee in cases of high value are given through stamp
papers of respective value issued by the state bank group (at Tis Hazari
State Bank of India for Delhi District Courts).
Before filing of any of the pleading in the court, given due respect to the
Principle of Natural Justice, the respective Council are required to sent the
advance copy of the same to the other party and the receipt of such serving is to
be attached with the plaint at the time of filing to the court.
CRIMINAL CASES:-
1) The files in the criminal cases are similar to that of the civil cases except the
fact that the parties to such cases are State (compulsorily), the Complainant
(in some cases) and the Accused (persons). The cases for the state is by the
public prosecutor who is the agent of the state where as the Accused is at
liberty to choose his/her council and take legal advice.
2) The criminal cases, bail matters and accident cases and MACT ( Motor
Accident Claims Tribunal ), cases under domestic violence and dowry
harassment (U/s 498 A of the Indian Penal Code), as well as Murder, Criminal
Defamation, Cheating, Forgery, Fraud, Criminal Breach of Trust, Criminal
Misappropriation, Adultery, Dishonor of Cheque U/s 138 of the Negotiable
Instruments Act 1881 etc.
3) In many cases, the Courts take have cognizance of offence in cases U/s
136 (3) and 200 of the Criminal Procedure Code when the Police failed to take
any action even on the complaint of the Petitioner and the court may direct the
police to take the investigations (U/s 200 Cr.P.C.), in such cases, the criminal
complaint is under the consideration of the Court itself.
4) There are two types of Warrants issued against the accused – bailable and
Non-Bailable. In bailable cases, the SHO can grant bail after filling the bail
bonds and in non – bailable cases, the accused has to appear in the court for
bail. In many petty criminal cases, bailable warrants are issued against the
accused. In cases of non-appearance, the court can issue non-bailable warrants
for compelling appearance of the accused. Relief u/s 438 Cr.P.C. for the grant
of anticipatory bail was also granted in some cases.
7) In matrimonial cases of criminal nature, like that u/s 498 A of the Indian
Penal Code 1860, the court may direct the parties for Mediation for settlement
before taking cognizance of the Offence and taking and adverse section against
either of the parties.
There are many criminal cases with a civil nature and vice versa, in such cases,
the court, may or may not, proceed with the cases separately or together, with
due consideration to the facts and circumstances of the case.

CONCLUSION
In the end, I would like to opine that the real legal practice is absolutely
different from the theoretical version of law which we study. Without exposure
to the real world, one cannot understand the analytical and positive application
of law and jurisprudence and the actual function and structure of law. What we
study is the body, but what we have learnt from the internship is the mechanism
of this body.
I was surprised to see how the simplest of laws were applicable in the most
difficult of situations and how loop holes leave so much scope for evolution and
improvisation today in this field. I also realized that law is everything but
constant and with the same soul as that of a human. In other words or as that of
our Counsel, laws may come and law may repeal, but they must always stay
true to our original values and in case of laws, they must always be faithful to
the Constitution, which is The Supreme law of the land and governs all equals
and unequal in respect of each others.
With a vote a thanks and gratefulness for reading this report thoroughly and
for giving me this wonderful opportunity to grow my vision in this field, I
conclude this report with a great lot in my mind.
