OBJECTIVE OF INTERNSHIP
The period of one month has been provided by the institution mainly to get the practical insights
in different areas and aspects in the field of law. It has been provided to get me an opportunity
before hand to get contacted with our interested fields so that after passing with a Law Degree
I can directly lead towards a profession in which I am really interested. Basically for me it was
a time of trial and error so that I could get clear about my future.
From this internship I aspire to learn the minute details and the procedure adopted in lower
courts and in High Court of M.P. and to inculcate the skill set needed for a successful
professional career.
Also I did intern under good Advts and qualified and reputed lawyers to know the professional
framework of bar and bench.
Moreover, I expect to observe and use and practically apply the theoretical knowledge that I
have gained till now and apply the theoretical knowledge practically in the actual cases.
Also for a very practical reason for which internship is too important is that it gives opportunity
to get in contact with Senior and reputed Advts for future help.
Also I aspire to learn about how the Advts address the court to get the judicial mind in their
favor.
Thus with the high hopes I have joined this internship and gained a lot of experience here.

OBSERVATIONS DURING INTERNSHIP
I started my first day with full nervousness and excitement for the summer internship with Advt
Deepak rawal. I decided that as a first-year student I needed to challenge myself at every step
and overcome every fear or nervousness. I am not particularly an introvert kind of person but
to work with professionals in real world is an entirely different and new thing for me. When I
entered the building, I was in a complete awe. It is a beautiful building and the safety system
at every step is very advance. There are like 4 main gates on each gate there are very helpful
security guards who helped me to go to the visitor’s Area. When I entered the building, it was
so much more magnificent than the outside. I went to the Chamber at Malay Corporates where
he sits and when I entered the door of the chamber my face turned into all the shades of red. I
was so much excited to meet my mentors and it was such a breath-taking view to see all the
professionals working in this vast envorinment. Then I finally met the man who gave me this
amazing opportunity to work with Sir Deepak Rawal and for that I am so much thankful to
him. He was full of enthusiasm and politeness. Although talking to a professional like him was
making me very nervous. As we continued our conversation, he asked me different questions
like the field I would like to pursue in law and my subjects that I had in my first year of college.
Then he allotted a place for me to work. And as a young intern everyone helped me to settle in
the work space and learn in the best possible way.

Case 3: Public Interest Litigation (PIL)
Applicant: Narendra Singh & Ors.
Court: High Court
Facts in Issue:
That, the Petitioners have approached this Hon'ble High Court under Article 226 of the
Constitution of India by way of filing this Public Interest Litigation challenging the
neglectful, whimsical and arbitrary inaction of the state government against unauthorized
change in the land use from talab (pond) to marghat/shamshan (cremation ground), located at
Ningnoti, Gram Panchayat- Panod, Tehsil- Kanadia, Dist- Indore. The land bearing survey
no.- 20 has been classified as Marghat in the Land Khasra record. And, the land bearing
survey no. 17, in the middle of the filed, is where the pond has been situated at. However in
the year 2021- 22, the authorities in collusion with private persons having vested interest
changed the land use of land survey no.20 from marghat to governmental land. Furthermore,
they divided the land survey no. into two parts, 17/1 and 17/2 and labeled both these newly
divided land as governmental land. Based on this unauthorized change, the construction of
shamshan has taken place on land survey no. 17/2 despite its allocated land (i.e. land survey
no. 20) which is not only an illegal undertaking but also gross misuse of the public money.
Hence, the Petitioner prays for the intervention of this Hon'ble Court on such facts and
grounds, as have been mentioned hereinafter
Grounds Presented by the Applicant:
1. Violation of Rights/Public Interest: The issue at hand directly impacts the rights and
interests of the public, necessitating judicial intervention.
2. Failure of Authorities: Relevant authorities have failed to address or remedy the situation,
indicating a need for judicial oversight.
14
3. Precedent: Similar cases have been addressed through PILs in the past, setting a precedent
for the current situation.
4. Immediate Action Required: Urgent action is required to mitigate the negative effects of
the issue and safeguard public interests.
5. Transparency and Accountability: The PIL seeks to promote transparency and
accountability among government agencies and officials responsible for addressing the issue.
6. Potential for Systemic Change: Addressing the issue through a PIL has the potential to
bring about systemic change and prevent similar occurrences in the future.
