From Shakespeare to Sushant: The truth is often found in shades of grey.

Innocent until proven guilty, or guilty until proven innocent? As the Hon’ble Bombay High Court advised media to practice restraint while covering Sushant Singh Rajput’s Death Case, I began wondering: are we really living in the rule of law our forefathers envisioned? This form of media vigilantism, sensationalising the case and creating a public outcry, which in the process subverts, or at least undermines, the due processes of the legal system cannot be what the champions of freedom of speech...

They say a good writer is one who writes about his own experiences, a great one who writes about the experiences of others. I disagree. There’s only with such depth and with such ardent details one can write about the experiences of others, and that’s why I’m going to tell you my story.CHAPTER 1“Sam! Get up!”“Mmmmm”“Get up, Sam! I’ve been calling you since an hour now. I am leaving for my Yoga class. Get up or you’ll be late, which I am sure you do not want to be.”“Okay Mom.”“Breakfast is on the table. Eat it before you leave. I am leaving now. Bye!”“Mmmm”The alarm in the phone beeps again.

Talking of judicial services examination preparation, where the notifications are neither assured nor regular, you'd want to be on your toes and have the syllabus on your tips. I have already discussed as to how you can begin your preparation and what you should study. I'll take up only one topic in this blogpost: time.Much has been said and written abut time and no, I am not going to lecture you on how you should...

How to study Evidence?

As I indicated in my previous post, I'd be doing a subject-specific series on how to tackle each subject for the judicial services examination. Assuming you have adapted well to the schedule I proposed therein, I will deal with evidence today. Though most of the steps remain the same, there are some additional/different things you need to do to get the best of your evidence-law study. For ease of reading, I will enlist both, the steps already mentioned in my previous post and also the additional, evidence-specific steps. The instructions remain the same: complete one step, and then come back for the next step. Just one step at a time. Eazy Peezy, right? Once you complete all the steps, do what the last step says: repeat! So, let's begin, shall...
