To nurture the oratory skills of budding legal professionals, The Debate Disciples- Amity University Debate Club in Association with
Checkmate, Debating Society, Amity Law School, Noida organized “Verbum Bellum" Asian Parliamentary Debate Competition, which conclud-
ed today, at University Campus, Sector 125 Noida.
Verbum Bellum was a two day debate competition with an aim to cultivate debating spirits and knowledge about current issues that are riling and
thought provoking, particularly concerning the Youth.
More than 30 teams (3 students in each team) and 30 Independent Adjudicators from various Law Educational Institutions across the country in-
cluding Lady Shriram College, Miranda House, Shiv Nadar University, Rajiv Gandhi national University of Law, Delhi University of Arts and Commerce,
NLIU Bhopal, Army Institute of Law Mohali, Jaipur National University and ICFAI Law School Hyderabad amongst others had participated in the com-
petition. During the two days, participants debated on vast array of themes including International Relations, Sports, Nuclear Energy, Sustainable Devel-
opment, Technology and Art and Culture.
The ‘Best Team’ award was conferred upon Cross team of Navneet Khubbet, Tejasvi Yadav from Miranda House and Isshan Choudhary
from Amberdkar University Shivangi Ananad, Aditya Sareen and Sista Shrinivas from Shaheed Bhagat Singh were declared as the “First Run-
ner Up” and “Best Adjudicator” award was bagged by Kasvi Bharadwaj from Jesus & Mary College.
Addressing the gathering, Shri Krishan Pal Gurjar, Minister of State, Social Justice and Empowerment said that perseverance and hard work
are the two important facets for success and one should not follow the path of shortcut. He motivated the participants and said that those who were not able
to win in this competition should not lose heart as they will get more opportunities in future and they can always perform better. Sh. Gurjar mentioned that
the all the good work and initiative done by the government are the result of youth power behind it. Talking about the removal of Article 370 for the bet-
terment of Kashmir is due to the willpower and the confidence of voters in its government. He remarked that India is currently witnessing the wind of
change and people must keep faith that the change is for a better tomorrow.
Dr Manoj Kumar, Founder & MD, Hammurabi & Solomon said that the budding legal professionals should imbibe the art of public policy and
public debate along with high quality analytic mind which would take them to pinnacle of success in the legal profession. He opined that the ability to con-
nect with people is very important to lead any discussion, particularly in context of parliamentary debate. He commended that participating in such compe-
titions help in understanding the workings of Parliamentary sessions and process of deliberations over issues of National interest. Addressing the budding
lawyers, he exclaimed that "The ideas of youth today, will be the policies of tomorrow."
Dr. Kumar apprised about three important aspects that need to be kept in mind when debating over any issue are: The Parliamentary debate should
be in context of value system of the region without any social, economic or political disparities. Sometimes, the developmental concerns tend to become
heavier than the value system. Secondly, to rightly allocate and utilize the resources for societal benefit and lastly, understanding sustainability and its im-
portance for a better tomorrow.
Speaking on the occasion, Ms Charu Pragya, National Incharge (Legal) BJP Youth Wing advised the participants to think beyond the class-
room and learn from the environment i.e by visiting the court rooms and interacting with the professionals since the best learning is through practical expe-
rience. She further suggested to focus on self-building because only then one will be able to help others. Ms. Charu remarked that in order to see the
change, youngsters should become part of the system and be the change makers. She averred that one should not focus on empowering oneself only and
called upon the students to empower the people around them by using their skills and education.
Welcoming the gathering, Prof. (Dr.) D.K. Bandyopadhyay, Chairman, Amity Law Schools said that debating skills are essential in legal pro-
fession and for a law student, it becomes imperative to develop the art of arguing or debating. Dr. Bandyopadhay expressed his hope that through this
competition, the participants will be able to develop their articulating ability and learn through peers. He averred that it is important to empower the stu-
dents in terms of their own learning, and such competitions channelize and nurture their skills which help them in professional development.

Let it Go
Those hands are too little
To plough fields
A future is what
The need to build
In poverty their fates
Must not be sealed
Let the wounds on the
Little hands get healed
Give them a book
Gift them life
In the ocean of knowledge
Let them dive

My Teacher, My Teacher!
Initially a stranger who addressed me,
And with words befriended me .
Trained me to think with logic defined ,
Slowly carving the raw me, to refined.
The knowledge simplified with example,
Opened my mind, with explaining sample.
In between, was served the pragmatic lesson,
Sharing experiences, of the past season .
Making me rich, with solutions to serve ,
Transforming me, to the confident who keeps stable nerve.
From the vast ocean, selecting the fertile drops,
To sow and reap, in the mind the rich crops.
Always patient and extremely polite,
Never failed to show me the light,
My teacher, my teacher stands above the god ,
Though born, I remained alive with knowledge- the Living sword.
So I can never thank enough to the light house who guided me safely in the
storm ,
Can never thank enough who warned me from wrong , predators and the
worm .
Can never thank enough for guiding me with the winning tackle ,
Can never thank enough for helping me climb ladder to pinnacle .

SHATTERING GLASS CEILINGS OF THE LEGITIMISATION OF GENDER INEQUALITIES
The 21st
century women of the Patriarchal Indian society find themselves in utter despair when they have to decide whether to rebel or reconcile,
encountering an existential crisis where freedom implies loss of safety. The unique selling point of the patriarchal system is the dubious cloak of protec-
tion that it offers and to be a free woman is to shrug off this cloak. There are myriad challenges that a woman has to face in the many spaces they occupy
be it in their home, educational institutes, workplace or in public places. But now it time to replace the Patriarchal society by an equal gender neutral soci-
ety.
In an attempt to define and recognise the existence of prevalence of the glass ceiling in field of law, it is necessary to get rid of this phrase “glass
ceiling” altogether because it is meaningless. It is implies towards the existence of some sort of visible-invisible, but fixed and immutable hindrance in the
growth and development of women. However, the reality is much more complicated, and far more sinister than this. The Indian system is paralysed with
cultural, social, socio-cultural or sociological bias and it is very stubborn bias against women.
The fact that the life of a women is vulnerable is now considered as an established dictate of the society. There is no illustration required to sub-
stantiate this point, however let us consider some of the blatant manifestations : the incessant bullying of women, no matter how competent they are be-
cause of archetypal, nauseating patriarchy. female law practitioner who is fierce in the defence or prosecution of her client’s cause is quite often termed as
‘shrewish’ by the men in black, On the contrary, a man is admired for his tenacity and grit when he does exactly the same thing in the same way and in the
same words. In almost every sphere of life, a women is obliged to must avoid being seen as “too soft”, “too strident”, “too aggressive or “not aggressive
enough”. As absurd as it sounds but this is the harsh reality of our society.
It is of utmost important to map the issue of gender and law reform upon abroad canvas of history and politics to explore strategies which could
safeguard women’s right within the domain of cultural, social and political boundaries. This particular issue gains significance because it follows a string
of historic verdicts on gender rights in the last two years. A significant step forward in the journey for women’s empowerment is marked by the historic
ruling in Shayara Bano v. Union of India, wherein the regressive practice of talaq-e-biddat was striked down by a majority of 3:2. It has been a remarkable
journey from Shah Bano to ShayaraBano which has finally led to the change in the status quo at long last, given the chequered history of reform in Mus-
lim personal law. Hence the judgment is striking down an egregious practise by which a man could divorce his wife by uttering triple talaq, even thought-
lessly, was very much antithesis to the gender justice.
The court has upheld the marital choices for women by striking down the antiquated law on adultery under section 497 of the Indian Penal Code,
1860 in the case of Joseph Shine v. Union of India. The law criminalised adultery asymmetrically wherein only the man and not the women engaged in
adultery could be punished and it was based on the principal features of Victorian law, which premised itself on the presumption that women were chattel.
Therefore, the judgement by the Supreme Court is much appreciated because it has laid down the cornerstone to strike down the roots of patriarchy. Fur-
thermore, drawing inspiration from the Puttaswamy case, in Navtej Singh Joharv. Union of India, the court decriminalised homosexuality and undid the
incongruous injustice of Suresh Koushalv. Naz Foundation. But the general discourse on LGBTQ rights has been revolving around gay men. The impact
of Navtej in liberating queer women is quite often left out of the debates and discussion. The challenges in many ways is far more difficult and more com-
plex for the homosexual females than homosexual men. for the homosexual females than homosexual men. The patriarchal understandings of religious
belief have over the centuries shaped the social and cultural frameworks of women resulting in their disempowerment. However, the society is now wit-
nessing raised concerns for the right of women in context to religious significance.
The Bombay High Court in the Haji Ali case has struck down the patriarchal diktat which barred the presence of women into the inner sanctum of
the dargah.Apart from this, Supreme Court by a 4:5 majority has lifted the ban on the entry of women aged between ten and fifty, in the Sabrimala temple,
dedicated to the celibate Lord Ayappan. Fascinatingly, the only dissent opinion in this particular judgment came from the only female judge on the bench,
Justice Indu Malhotra. The view adapted by her was that morality and rationality cannot be read into matters of faith, and that unless a religious practice
was egregious to women. Whatsoever be the merits of the majority opinion but the dissent of Justice Indu Malhotra did the one thing that should always
be done because she was absolutely gender neutral. Her dissent was not a judgment by a women judge but by a fine judge. This is the perfect example of
proving the glass ceiling which causes prejudice against women is a set of fragile shards, one that exists only to be broken and shattered into pieces.

#MeToo - A Social Move Towards Curbing Sexual Harassment at Workplace
The internet and technology age has been a disruptor in many aspects, and the law is being affected as well. As public sentiment for the move-
ment builds up, it is necessary to look at why women and men are choosing the internet in the first place to level charges of a serious nature. The low
conviction rate for crimes against women is one of the reasons, other reasons being, ineffective and delayed justice system in India and sometimes it is
because of the apprehensions at the end of the society. But since, Internet is not as intimidating as the courts, it provides a platform for victims hindered
or intimidated by the legal process to use technology to facilitate justice, underlining the freedom of expression. Also, the Information Technology Act,
2000, has empowered social media the realm of electronic evidence.
The existing laws in India relating to sexual harassment of women at workplace which is ‘The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace
(Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.’ has proved to be extremely inadequate to meet the new challenges as section 9 of the said Act pre-
scribes a period of limitation for filing a complaint to be only 3 months and the power of the committee to condone the delay is also limited. The act
contemplates only an inquiry and the procedure to be adopted is as provided under the Code of Civil Procedure.
In so far as the Indian Penal Code is concerned, no doubt by way of the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 2013 Section 354A has been inserted to
tackle the menace of sexual harassment and the said offence has been made punishable with imprisonment which may extend to three years. However,
it is well known that in criminal matters the process is the punishment and since no time period has been prescribed for completion of investigation or
trial of such offences, there is every likelihood that the complainant would be at the receiving end and is most likely to abandon the proceedings after
some time.
It has been argued that those speaking out as a part of the ‘MeToo’ movement are ignoring legal frameworks already in place to redress such
complaints. Last year, when some academics were accused of sexual misbehavior on social media sites, a group of women — activists, lawyers and
teachers — had rued that the movement on the Internet was bypassing the law. But the Internet is an enabling platform for women, argues Mumbai
High Court lawyer Rutuja Shinde, who has offered legal help to victims who have taken to Twitter to voice their complaints.
But, In some situations, the law harasses more than it helps. For instance, in the case of former minister and editor MJ Akbar who has slapped a
criminal defamation suit against journalist Priya Ramani, who had accused him of sexual harassment.
To keep watch on such disgraceful activities, It is mandatory for companies to have an internal complaints committee (ICC) in place to deal with
issues of sexual harassment at the workplace under the law. Decisions of the ICC, if unsatisfactory, can be challenged in court. For people working in
the unorganized sector or freelancers, there are guilds and associations that are expected to fight on their behalf.
