“8th August, 2019: Constitutional Law Society NLUO Inaugural STUDENT DISCUSSION ON Article 370 and Kashmir: A Necessity or a Democratic Failure?”
14 Aug 2019
The Constitutional Law Society, NLUO under the guidance of its Faculty Advisor, Mr. Ashit Kumar Srivastava, Assistant Professor of Law, organized its first ever student discussion on the topic ‘Article 370 and Kashmir: A Necessity or a Democratic Failure?’on 8th August 2019. The purpose of this discussion was to encourage student dialogue and to provide an accessible forum for intellectual discourse and shape the discussion of the most important and relevant issues pertaining to Constitution. This initiative was undertaken to have a structured and moderated dialogue so that the diverging views on this exciting Constitutional Law issue could be put forth.
The students were first addressed by the CLS members on the history of Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, Jammu and Kashmir’s status before independence and the Instrument of Accession. Moreover, a detailed analysis of procedures followed in the recent days was briefed to the students so that no doubt is left in any participant’s mind about the key events which have occurred.
Four issues were then put forward to the students which were to be discussed and deliberated upon by the students:
1. Instrument of Accession: A democratic guarantee. Does India necessarily have to respect this document?
2. Abrogation and Constitutionality – Can a State do indirectly what it cannot do directly?
3. Would there have been a better way of doing this?
4. Does the impending necessity of this Act overpower the possible human rights violation?
There were interesting and logical contentions made by the students regarding these issues, some which have been heavily critiqued such as the provision being a part of Part XXI of the Constitution, the affirmation of territorial sovereignty on the land of Jammu and Kashmir when we talked about the Instrument of Accession and the obligations which are to be observed by International Law precedents. On the issue of the Constitutionality of the Presidential Orders and the Reorganisation Bill introduced in Rajya Sabha, the procedures were meticulously analysed by the students and it was observed that the crowd was very participative in their expression of opinions.
Overall, the student discussion received an encouraging response and students were very willing to participate, contribute and enhance their own understanding of the situation as well as enlighten the others with their statements.<

“10th August, 2019: Constitutional Law Society conducted third Academic guest lecture by Mr J Sai Deepak, Advocate, Supreme Court of India.”
03 Aug 2019
The Constitutional Society of National Law University Odisha, under the aegis of Hon’ble Vice Chancellor Prof. (Dr) Shri Krishna Deva Rao and the Registrar (I/C) Prof. (Dr) Yogesh Pratap Singh,successfully organized 3rd CLS Academic Guest Lecture to be given by Advocate J. Sai Deepak (Supreme Court of India) on the topic ‘Free Speech and Expression: Blasphemy and Secular Criticism‘.
Right to Free Speech, a burning issue in light of the recent events, particularly the ongoing Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute was very well examined and critiqued by the esteemed guest and this idea even attracted a good strength of students who were very interested in the given topic.
The lecture started with the introduction of the relevance of Section 295-A of the Indian Penal Code with the issue of Free Speech and Expression by Mr. J. Sai Deepak. Section 295-A of the Indian Penal Code talks about the deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class. Mr. J. Sai Deepak did a thorough critical analysis of this Section and tried to explain the value of truth that should be accompanied by the Right to Free Speech and Expression. He even reasoned the value of truth through the motto of the Supreme Court of India – ‘Satyamev Jayate’, holding truth to be of the paramount importance for the administration of justice. He then took the related sections of 153A, 95 and 96 of the Indian Penal Code and analysed their existence keeping in mind the ideas of Free Speech and Expression and emphasized upon the need for consistency and reasoning to be applied in disputes pertaining to the prevailing issue. Then, he gave a few historical examples of expressing dissent and how they would be unfitting given the existing laws now.
The floor was then opened for questions which were very relevant to the possible limitations if there is an absolute right given to Free Speech, the need for better communication among human beings so that the disputes are prevented and there is no need to resolve them in the first place. There was an interesting relation mentioned by one of the students between sedition and blasphemy which was very meticulously answered by Mr. J. Sai Deepak.
The charisma and eloquence of Mr. J. Sai Deepak was widely applauded by the audience. In addition to that, the active listening of the National Law University Odisha fraternity made this lecture a good platform for the faculty and students to understand the issue of Free Speech.Towards the conclusion of the lecture, the faculty advisor of Constitutional Law Society, Mr. Ashit Kumar Srivastava delivered the vote of thanks and the members of the Society felicitated Mr. J Sai Deepak.
LLM classes shall commence from 5th Augutst 2019.
