INTRODUCTION

This report examines the court visitation program with Advocate Mr.
Sangram Singh. I have completed my court visit under
Advocate Mr. Sangram Singh from 21st August to 25th August
2023 and it was a great learning experience for me. The activity
gave me the opportunity to look inside the judicial system and its
working. I dealt with people directly and looked into their problems
under the able guidance of Mr. Sangram Singh. I visited
different Courts in regard to different matters fixed in courts in
daily routine where I got an opportunity to observe their working. It
was a valuable insight into the actual working of courts and
lawyers.
Not all legal acts happen in courts, a lot of legal minds is applied
behind the canvas of court, inside a lawyer’s chamber. A great deal
about planning, counseling, legal drafting, brainstorming, and
record maintenance is taken up by a lawyer to make a good case. In
the company of Mr. Sangram Singh. I was able to get insight
of nitty gritties involved in preparing a case. With his permission, I
was able to observe the manner in which client counseling is done.
Besides this I was able to learn about carrying out legal research,
study of case files of running cases, and preparing of draft
documents of real cases in hand.

It was a rich experience of working of courts and our judicial


system and the role of a lawyer in the delivery of justice.

Factual and Analytical Information about the
Internship

I started under the guidance of the Advocate from 21st August, 2023. His
chamber is located at District Court Rohini. From the very first day, I
was given an insight into how things work in practical sphere. I was
advised to take note of everything that happens in a court room. On
the very first day, I was taught the traits of a good advocate. Time
management, quick effort with well thought action, meeting with the
deadlines; these were the few things that I had to take note of.
My internship began with a brief note on the procedural difference
between Criminal and Civil Matters. The criminal procedure is
provided in the CrPC and the civil procedure is in CPC.
The Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) is the main legislation on
procedure for administration of substantive criminal law in India. It
was enacted in 1973 and came into force on 1 April 1974. It
provides the machinery for the investigation of crime, apprehension
of suspected criminals, collection of evidence, determination of
guilt or innocence of the accused person and the determination of
punishment of the guilty. Additionally, it also deals with public
nuisance, prevention of offences and maintenance of wife, child and
parents.
The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 is a procedural law related to
the administration of civil proceedings in India.
The Code is divided into two parts: the first part contains 158
sections and the second part contains the First Schedule, which has
51 Orders and Rules. The sections provide provisions related to

general principles of jurisdiction whereas the Orders and Rules
prescribe procedures and method that govern civil proceedings in
India.
