 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (1st week)

In the first week of my internship at the District Court in Sonipat, I

familiarized myself with the overall structure and functioning of the civil
court system. I observed proceedings before the Civil Judge (Junior
Division) and Senior Civil Judge, gaining insight into the day-to-day
court environment. Most cases listed this week were at the stage of
filing, service of summons, or interim relief.
I also got the opportunity to understand how pleadings are prepared. I
assisted the clerk in organizing the case files, which gave me hands-on
exposure to plaints, written statements, rejoinders, and other civil filings
under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. I attended court hearings on
property disputes, partition suits, and cases under the Specific Relief
Act.
One notable case I followed involved a suit for injunction where the
plaintiff sought a stay on the construction of a boundary wall by the
defendant. The court granted ad-interim relief pending full hearing,
helping me understand how temporary injunctions work under Order 39
Rules 1 and 2 CPC.
 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (2nd week)

During the second week, my work became more research-intensive.

Under the guidance of a senior civil litigation lawyer, I helped in
drafting written statements and replies to interim applications. I learned
how important it is to frame proper legal defenses and avoid admissions
that could later prove detrimental.
I was also tasked with researching legal provisions and judgments
relating to suits for declaration and possession, especially in cases
involving ancestral property. In one case, the issue was whether a
daughter could claim partition after the death of her father, under the
amended Hindu Succession Act. I explored landmark cases such as
Vineeta Sharma v. Rakesh Sharma (2020), which reinforced a daughter's
coparcenary rights.
Additionally, I visited the record room and observed how certified
copies of court orders and documents are maintained and retrieved,
giving me a practical understanding of court administration.
 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (3rd week)

This week involved detailed observation of trial stages in civil cases,

especially the recording of evidence. I attended hearings where
witnesses (PWs and DWs) were examined and cross-examined. One
case involved a dispute over a rent agreement, and I noted how the court
relied heavily on oral evidence, signatures, and secondary documents
when originals were missing.
I also assisted the lawyer in preparing for a Section 151 CPC
application for urgent interim relief in a suit for specific performance of
a contract. The case involved a dispute over sale of agricultural land. My
role involved researching case law on readiness and willingness of the
plaintiff and what evidence is required to prove that the plaintiff was
always willing to perform his part of the contract.
I also helped in preparing affidavits for examination-in-chief and was
allowed to observe how exhibits are marked and recorded in court.
These hands-on experiences deepened my understanding of evidentiary
rules under the Indian Evidence Act, 1872.
 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (4th week)

In the final week of my internship, I witnessed the final argument stage

in two important civil matters. In one of them, the issue was whether a
registered gift deed could be challenged on the grounds of undue
influence and mental incapacity of the donor. I carefully followed the
oral arguments made by both parties and how they cited previous
judgments to strengthen their case.
I also observed how the court delivers final judgments, explaining
reasons for accepting or rejecting pleadings, evidence, and reliefs
sought. The precision and clarity of reasoning used by the judge made
me appreciate the value of effective argumentation and the weight given
to evidence in civil trials.
During this week, I compiled a small research note on limitation laws in
civil suits, focusing on when limitation begins in suits for possession or
recovery of money. This note was appreciated by my supervisor, and I
was encouraged to keep working on such research independently.

 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (1st week)

In the first week of my internship at the District Court, Sonipat, I began

by familiarizing myself with the criminal court's structure and
functioning. I observed proceedings before the Judicial Magistrate First
Class (JMFC) and the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM). Most cases in
the early part of the week related to routine remand hearings, bail
applications, and first appearances.
I reviewed several First Information Reports (FIRs) and learned how
cases progress from the police station to the courtroom. One of the key
cases I observed involved Sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and
506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC. I understood how the accused is
brought before the Magistrate within 24 hours, how judicial custody is
sought, and the court's approach to granting bail or police remand.
I also attended several arguments for anticipatory bail under Section
438 CrPC. One particular case involved a businessman accused of
cheating under Section 420 IPC. The defense argued for bail citing clean
antecedents and cooperation with the investigation. This experience
helped me understand how bail jurisprudence operates in district
courts.
 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (2nd week)

This week focused on drafting and case preparation. Under my mentor

advocate, I assisted in preparing regular bail and anticipatory bail
applications. I was asked to read through FIRs, note relevant facts, and
identify whether the accused had a right to claim bail based on the
seriousness of the offense and the stage of investigation.
I also attended hearings where judicial magistrates granted or
rejected remand. In one theft case under Sections 379 and 411 IPC,
the accused was arrested with allegedly stolen goods, and the police
sought 5 days’ custody. The defense pointed out the recovery had
already been made, and remand was unnecessary. The court allowed
only 1 day of police custody.
During this week, I also began helping the office in compiling case
notes on various sections of the CrPC and IPC. I was asked to research
case law on Section 498A (cruelty by husband or relatives), as the
office was handling a matrimonial criminal case involving false dowry
allegations. This helped me understand the misuse and genuine use of
criminal laws in family disputes.
.
 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (3rd week)

This week was particularly insightful, as I observed actual criminal trial

proceedings. I watched several sessions involving the examination-in-
chief and cross-examination of prosecution witnesses. One case that
left a strong impression was a local assault case under Sections 323/34
IPC where the main witness turned hostile during trial. It helped me
understand how hostile witnesses can affect the prosecution’s case and
how the public prosecutor attempts to challenge the witness under
Section 154 of the Evidence Act.
I also followed a case where a minor was accused of theft, being dealt
with under the Juvenile Justice Act. I learned the differences in
procedure followed in the Juvenile Justice Board and how the law
emphasizes reformation over punishment.
In the evenings, I discussed trial strategies and procedural queries with
advocates. I helped them review charge framing orders and prepare
written arguments. One of my tasks included summarizing police
statements under Section 161 CrPC and noting inconsistencies for cross-
examination preparation.
 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (4th week)

In the final week of my internship, I observed how final arguments are

structured and presented. In one case under Section 324 IPC
(voluntarily causing hurt with dangerous weapons), both sides
concluded their arguments. The defense relied on inconsistencies in
medical evidence, while the prosecution stressed the direct eye-witness
testimony. The judgment was reserved.
Another important case involved Section 279/304A IPC (rash and
negligent driving causing death). I attended the sentencing stage where
the court had to decide between imprisonment and fine. The judge
considered the accused’s age, remorse, and cooperation during the trial.
The court eventually imposed a sentence of six months simple
imprisonment with a ₹10,000 fine, suspended on probation.
I also participated in discussions about plea bargaining under Chapter
XXI-A CrPC, especially in cases involving petty offenses. I was asked
to draft a note on whether a particular accused could explore plea
bargaining as a time-saving alternative.
Lastly, I had an opportunity to interact with a Legal Aid Counsel, which
opened my eyes to the challenges faced by undertrial prisoners and
economically weaker litigants..

 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (1st week)

My internship began with an orientation to the working structure of the

District Court, Sonipat, where I explored the overall court hierarchy
and became familiar with the daily cause list system. I observed
proceedings in both criminal and civil courtrooms, including the Chief
Judicial Magistrate, Civil Judge (Junior Division), and Family Court.
Throughout the week, I sat through cases involving bail applications,
property injunctions, partition suits, and cheque bounce cases under
Section 138 of the NI Act. This mix allowed me to see how criminal
and civil cases differ in terms of courtroom conduct, procedure, and
urgency.
I also visited the court filing section and record room, which gave me
insight into how case files are numbered, processed, and indexed.
Understanding the procedural requirements for filing a plaint, written
statement, or even a basic Vakalatnama was one of my first learning
curves.

.
 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (2nd week)

In the second week, I began assisting my mentor advocate with drafting

simple legal documents, including notices, replies, bail applications,
and affidavits. I reviewed the contents of a civil plaint, and with
guidance, helped in preparing a draft suit for permanent injunction in a
land encroachment matter.
On the criminal side, I helped with a Section 156(3) CrPC application
seeking court directions to register an FIR. I observed how the
Magistrate questioned the complainant’s counsel on the maintainability
and substance of the allegations.
An important aspect of this week was observing judge-lawyer-client
interactions. In one matrimonial matter, I observed a pre-litigation
counseling session where the Family Court Judge urged the parties to
settle amicably through mediation. This experience offered a human side
of the legal system—where courts don't only adjudicate but also
facilitate resolution.
 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (3rd week)

This week, I focused on observing actual trials in both civil and

criminal courts. I attended multiple sessions where evidence was
recorded, and witnesses were examined.
One memorable case involved a land dispute under Section 145 CrPC
(disputes likely to cause a breach of peace). I saw how cross-
examination was conducted, how documentary evidence was introduced,
and how the judge maintained courtroom decorum and flow.
In another matter under Section 498A IPC (cruelty by husband and
relatives), I witnessed the prosecution examining the complainant.
The defense tried to discredit her testimony by pointing out
contradictions in her statement under Section 161 CrPC. It was a useful
demonstration of how procedural law and the Indian Evidence Act
intersect during a criminal trial.
I also learned courtroom etiquette—when to bow, when to speak, how to
present files to judges, and the importance of clarity and respect in
communication.
 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (4th week)

The final week involved attending final arguments and

pronouncements of judgments. One case was a suit for possession
and mesne profits, where the court relied heavily on the plaintiff’s title
documents and oral evidence to deliver judgment in the plaintiff’s
favor. I observed how the judge explained the reasoning behind the
verdict and how reliefs were granted based on both facts and law.
I also followed the conclusion of a criminal trial involving Sections
323/506 IPC. The accused was convicted, and I saw the sentencing
phase, where the court took into account mitigating factors such as age
and first-time offense before deciding on a lighter sentence.
Apart from observation, I was assigned small legal research tasks
including:
 Difference between bailable and non-bailable offences
 When revision lies instead of an appeal
 Case law related to temporary injunctions and recovery suits
I also observed how court clerks, stenographers, and registry officers
function, which gave me a wholesome understanding of how court
machinery works behind the scenes.

 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (1st week)

The first week of my internship at the NGO was focused on orientation

and understanding the nature of work the organization undertakes. The
NGO primarily works on women’s rights, access to legal aid, juvenile
justice, and awareness about basic constitutional rights in rural and
marginalized communities.
I was introduced to the legal aid cell of the NGO, where lawyers and
social workers assist underprivileged individuals in accessing free legal
advice and court representation. I observed counseling sessions for
women who faced domestic violence and dowry harassment, and I sat
in meetings where legal remedies under Section 498A IPC and the
Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 were
discussed.
I also helped in maintaining records of client interviews, understanding
how cases are identified and classified for court action or referral to
mediation. The experience opened my eyes to how many people are
unaware of their basic rights or fear using legal channels due to social
stigma or economic hardship.

.
 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (2nd week)

This week involved extensive field visits to nearby villages and slum
areas where the NGO had scheduled legal literacy and awareness camps.
We worked on educating communities—especially women and
adolescents—about:
 Right to Education
 Right to Free Legal Aid
 Protection from Child Marriage
 Basic labor rights and minimum wage laws
I assisted in creating simple, bilingual information pamphlets and helped
set up small workshops where our team used interactive tools like role-
plays to convey the importance of constitutional rights and government
welfare schemes.
A particularly impactful moment was when a young girl approached our
team regarding being forced into marriage. The NGO, with its legal
team, took immediate action and later contacted the Child Welfare
Committee (CWC). I was also assigned to write a basic report about the
incident and helped research applicable provisions under the Prohibition
of Child Marriage Act, 2006.
This week gave me deep insight into the intersection of law, society, and
access, especially how NGOs act as a bridge between rural communities
and the justice system.
 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (3rd week)

Back at the office, I was assigned to assist the NGO's litigation team,
which handles cases referred to them through the legal aid unit or
rescued during fieldwork. I worked under a senior advocate, helping
draft:
 Domestic violence petitions
 Maintenance applications under Section 125 CrPC
 Legal notices for unpaid wages to workers
One case involved a young domestic worker who had not been paid for
over a year and was verbally abused by her employer. I helped draft a
notice under labor law violations, and it was empowering to be a part
of the process that led to her receiving compensation.
I also worked on legal research for juvenile justice cases—especially
regarding apprehended minors and the proper procedure under the
Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015. I
prepared a note on the difference between bail in criminal cases vs.
juvenile release procedures, which was reviewed and appreciated by the
legal team.

SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (4th week)

 In the final week, I was assigned to compile case data and prepare
weekly reports for internal use and funding documentation. I worked
with the documentation officer to understand how NGOs maintain
transparency and compliance in reporting human rights interventions.
I also participated in a legal awareness session held at a government
school, where the topic was online safety and cyber law basics for
teenagers. I helped create presentation slides and spoke briefly about
cyberbullying laws and what students can do if they are harassed
online.
On the last two days, the legal team conducted a mock legal aid clinic,
where I helped intake new complaints and interacted directly with
distressed women seeking relief under protection laws. I even sat
through an in-person mediation effort in a dowry dispute.
The NGO also encouraged me to write a personal reflection,
summarizing what I learned about public service lawyering, client
empathy, and the importance of patience in handling sensitive matters.

 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (1st week)

The first week of my internship at the legal firm was centered around
understanding the structure and functioning of the firm, which
specialized in intellectual property law, civil disputes, and contractual
matters. I was introduced to the various departments—litigation,
trademark and copyright registration, client counseling, and drafting.
During this week, I observed initial client consultations regarding brand
name protection and logo registration. One case involved a startup
concerned about a similar-sounding brand entering the market. I helped
in conducting a preliminary trademark search on the IP India
website, understanding how phonetic similarity and class overlap play
roles in opposition and registration.
I also read case files relating to trademark opposition proceedings
before the Trade Marks Registry, and assisted in preparing brief notes
on existing registrations, status updates, and procedural deadlines. The
week helped me build a foundational understanding of what constitutes
trademark infringement, deceptive similarity, and brand dilution.
 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (2nd week)

In the second week, I moved closer to the litigation team, which was
handling ongoing civil suits related to contract breaches and
intellectual property violations. I assisted in the drafting of replies to
cease-and-desist notices as well as written statements in pending
trademark infringement cases.
One matter involved a trademark dispute between two FMCG
companies, and I helped the team prepare comparative tables analyzing
brand elements such as get-up, trade dress, phonetic pronunciation,
and market segment. This was used to support the firm’s claim that
there was no likelihood of consumer confusion.
I also visited the District Court and the Delhi High Court with seniors
to observe interim injunction hearings, particularly where clients were
seeking urgent relief to restrain others from using their marks. The way
advocates built urgency and emphasized irreparable harm and
balance of convenience taught me about the practical considerations
courts weigh in ex parte matters.
 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (3rd week)

By the third week, I was handling more research-heavy assignments. I

was asked to prepare notes on key judgments including:
 Cadila Healthcare Ltd. v. Cadila Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
 Amritdhara Pharmacy v. Satya Deo Gupta
 F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. v. Cipla Ltd.
These cases helped me understand legal standards such as likelihood of
confusion, passing off, and the test for deceptive similarity under
Indian trademark law.
I also helped the IPR team prepare a response to an examination
report issued by the Trade Marks Registry. This involved:
 Refuting objections under Section 11(1) and 11(2)
 Highlighting differences in phonetics and visual appearance
 Providing evidence of prior use
Additionally, I learned the step-by-step process for trademark
registration, including online filing, documentation, and form
compliance under the Trade Marks Act, 1999.
 SUMMARY OF INTERNSHIP (4th week)

The last week of my internship was focused on attending more final

arguments in civil suits, especially in cases related to breach of contract,
specific performance, and IP infringement.
One particular matter involved a company seeking damages and a
permanent injunction for copyright infringement of its product manuals.
I observed how the advocate argued around substantial copying,
originality, and creative effort required for copyright protection.
Apart from court visits, I was also part of internal case discussions,
where strategy was planned ahead of client calls or hearing dates. I sat in
meetings where clients were advised on filing or defending trademark
oppositions, and I helped prepare a short brief summarizing use-based
rights vs. registration-based rights.
Before the internship ended, I was asked to write a short note on parallel
importation and trademark exhaustion doctrine, which was reviewed and
corrected by the senior associate.

Internship Observation Report: Civil Litigation
Case: Sunrise Builders vs. Green Acre Co-operative Society
Court: Civil Judge (Senior Division), District Court, Sonipat
Nature of Case: Civil – Declaration of Title, Permanent Injunction, and
Recovery of Mesne Profits

Introduction
During my internship at the District Court in Sonipat, I observed a
detailed civil suit titled Sunrise Builders vs. Green Acre Co-operative
Society. The dispute centered on the plaintiff’s claim for declaration of
title over a parcel of land, an injunction to restrain the defendants from
constructing on the disputed property, and recovery of mesne profits
for unauthorized occupation. This observation captures every
procedural step, from initial client consultation through judgment,
illustrating the practical workings of civil litigation.

Case Background
 Parties: Sunrise Builders (Plaintiff) is a construction firm that
entered into a sale agreement in March 2015 to purchase a 2-acre
plot. Green Acre Co-operative Society (Defendant) is a housing
society that subsequently obtained a local development permit
over the same land.
 Dispute: The plaintiff alleged that the society’s formation and
acquisition of development rights were based on forged sale
 documents, infringing Sunrise’s title. The defendants claimed a
valid transfer from an intermediate seller.
Key Remedies Sought:
1. Declaration that the plaintiff is the rightful owner.
2. Permanent injunction preventing further construction by
defendants.
3. Mesne profits from April 2018 to date at ₹1 lakh per month.

Stage 1: Initial Client Consultation and Pleading Drafting

Client Meeting: I sat in a chamber meeting where the senior associate
interviewed the plaintiff’s MD. They discussed the history of land
transactions, the alleged forgery, and documentary evidence (original
sale deed, payment receipts, and mutation records). The lawyer
explained the need for precise pleadings and the burden of proving
forgery.
Drafting the Plaint:
 Sections invoked: Section 34 and 45 of the Specific Relief Act
(declaration of title) and Section 73 of the Indian Contract Act
(mesne profits).
 Documents annexed: notarized copy of registration deed (2015),
no-objection certificate from local planning authority, bank
ledgers for payment proof, and mutation extracts from revenue
records.
  I assisted in drafting the plaint: aligning factual chronology,
pinning down sale dates, and framing relief clauses. The plaint
also sought interim relief under Order 39 Rule 1 & 2 CPC.

Stage 2: Service of Summons and Interim Injunction

Admission and Summons: The court admitted the plaint, scrutinized
court-fee compliance, and issued summons to the defendants under
Order V Rule 1 CPC.
Interim Injunction Application:
 Grounds: (a) strong prima facie case of forgery; (b) balance of
convenience — construction underway causing irreparable injury;
(c) irreparable harm if injunction denied.
 I helped compile the affidavit in support, including: site
photographs showing ongoing construction post-April 2018,
revenue extracts indicating mutation dates, and a forensic report
flagging alleged forgery in the defendants’ deed.
At the injunction hearing, counsel argued urgency and filed an ex parte
application. The judge granted interim injunction, barring further work
on the land.

Stage 3: Filing Written Statement and Replication

Defendants’ Written Statement:
  Denials: repudiated forgery claim; admitted having a sale deed
dated 2016 from an intermediary seller; asserted prior
developer’s rights.
 Objections: challenged jurisdiction, contested sufficiency of court-
fee valuation, and raised preliminary plea of “stay of suit” under
Section 10 CPC pending alternate dispute resolution.
Plaintiff’s Replication:
 Reaffirmed forgery evidence, produced expert report on
handwriting analysis, and countered SDR objections. I researched
case law on the applicability of Section 10 CPC in title disputes
and helped draft rejoinder points.

Stage 4: Framing of Issues

Court’s Notice & Issue Framing: After pleadings closed, the judge
framed issues under Order XIV Rule 1 CPC:
1. Is the sale deed executed by the plaintiff in March 2015 forged?
2. Has the plaintiff been deprived of his rightful title?
3. Whether the defendant is entitled to a declaration of title?
4. Whether the plaintiff deserves a permanent injunction?
5. What amount of mesne profits is recoverable?
I observed the lawyers proposing additional issues, but the court
finalized the above.
Stage 5: Plaintiff’s Evidence
Evidence-in-Chief:
 PW1 – Managing Director: testified on payment history, deed
execution, and delivery of possession in 2015.
 PW2 – Revenue Inspector: confirmed mutation entries and
revenue records favoring plaintiff.
 PW3 – Forensic Document Examiner: explained methodology of
detecting ink discrepancies in the defendants’ 2016 deed.
I organized exhibits (indexed as Ex.P-1 to Ex.P-15), prepared question-
answer summaries, and supported re-examination preparation.
Cross-Examination: Defense counsel focused on:
 Delayed mutation updates by plaintiff.
 Authenticity of forensic report and chain of custody.
 Alleging plaintiff’s lawyer coached the revenue inspector.
I took detailed hearing notes helping strategize re-examination.

Stage 6: Defendant’s Evidence

Defendant’s Witnesses:
 DW1 – Society Secretary: recounted sale from intermediary and
permit grants.
 DW2 – Town Planner: testified on sanctioned building plans and
development authority approvals.
Our cross-examination highlighted lack of original intermediate deed,
contradictions in permit dates, and reliance on unnotarized copies.
I summarized contradictions and drafted key points for rebuttal.

Stage 7: Final Arguments

Plaintiff’s Counsel:
 Emphasized definitive proof of forgery — expert testimony and
absence of original deed.
 Relied on Shree Durga Associates v. State (Delhi HC) for instructive
on forgery rebuttals.
 Argued defendant’s construction violated interim injunction.
Defense Counsel:
 Cited Gajadhar v. Balbir (SC) on mutation not conclusive of title.
 Maintained bona fide purchase from intermediary and reliance on
official mutation.
I reviewed final written submissions, ensured proper case law citations,
and assisted in bundling authorities chronologically.

Stage 8: Judgment
The court reserved judgment after detailed oral submissions. Two
weeks later, it pronounced:
 Decree for declaration: plaintiff owner since 2015.
  Permanent injunction upheld.
 Mesne profits awarded at ₹75,000 per month from April 2018 to
June 2023.
 Costs of suit awarded to plaintiff.
Judgment reasoned on strength of expert evidence and plaintiff’s timely
mutation.

Observations and Learnings

1. Pleadings Precision: Meticulous drafting vital from plaint to
replication.
2. Evidence Handling: Proper indexing and chain of custody for
expert reports is critical.
3. Interim Relief Strategy: Ex parte injunctions can effectively freeze
disputed status.
4. Cross-Examination Technique: Exposing documentary gaps
discredits defenses.
5. Case Management: Court scheduling, listing proposals, and
follow-up are essential for timely hearings.
Lawyer-client meetings highlighted the need for clear explanation of
legal risks and realistic timelines. Observing judicial reasoning
underscored the value of coherent arguments and solid evidence.
Conclusion
The Sunrise Builders vs. Green Acre Co-operative Society case provided
an exhaustive view of civil litigation practice—from initial client intake
through judgment. My active role in drafting, research, and hearing
support enriched my understanding of practical lawyering, procedural
mechanics, and strategic case management in district courts.
Internship Observation Report: Criminal Case
Case: State vs. Raghav Kapoor & Others
Court: Chief Judicial Magistrate, District Court, Sonipat
Nature of Case: Criminal – Sections 379, 411, 34 of IPC (Theft,
Possession of Stolen Property, Common Intention)

Introduction
During my internship at the District Court, Sonipat, I had the
opportunity to observe a criminal trial titled State vs. Raghav Kapoor &
Others. The case involved the alleged theft of valuable electronics from
a warehouse and the subsequent possession and attempted resale of
these items. This report provides a comprehensive, step-by-step
account of the actual trial proceedings and explains how a criminal
matter progresses from initiation to conclusion in a district court.

Background of the Case

 FIR was lodged under Sections 379, 411, and 34 IPC following a
complaint by the warehouse manager of TechZone Pvt. Ltd.
 Allegation: Raghav Kapoor, with the help of two co-accused –
Mohit Rana and Imran Sheikh – allegedly broke into a warehouse
and stole electronics worth over ₹8 lakhs. The stolen goods were
later traced to a second-hand dealer.
 Complainant: Mr. Rajeev Sinha, the warehouse manager.
  Accused: Raghav Kapoor (main accused, former warehouse
worker), Mohit Rana (driver of the getaway vehicle), Imran Sheikh
(receiver of the stolen goods).

Step-by-Step Process of the Criminal Trial

1. FIR Registration and Police Investigation
The complaint was filed at Sector 15 Police Station, Sonipat. The
investigation involved:
 Recording statements of the complainant and eyewitnesses under
Section 161 CrPC.
 Seizure of CCTV footage showing vehicle used in the theft.
 Recovery of stolen items from Imran’s second-hand shop.
 Arrests made based on phone call records and confessions.
 Submission of charge sheet under Section 173(2) CrPC by the
Investigating Officer.
Observation: I assisted in preparing a summary of the police file and
reviewed how investigation records are catalogued.

2. Taking Cognizance and Providing Documents

The Magistrate reviewed the charge sheet and took cognizance of the
case.
 Accused were summoned and appeared with legal counsel.
  The court ensured supply of all documents (FIR, seizure memo,
statements, etc.) under Section 207 CrPC.
Observation: I saw the practical application of document sharing rules
ensuring the accused's right to a fair trial.

3. Arguments on Charge and Framing of Charges

Defense Argument: Claimed there was no direct link between the
accused and the stolen goods. CCTV footage was unclear.
Prosecution Argument:
 Recovered items matched warehouse records.
 Call records and confessions supported a coordinated plan.
Court’s View: Sufficient prima facie evidence was present. Charges
were framed under:
 Section 379 IPC (Theft)
 Section 411 IPC (Possession of stolen property)
 Section 34 IPC (Common Intention)
Observation: I drafted an outline of charge framing rules and noted the
judge’s reliance on collected evidence.

4. Prosecution Evidence and Examination of Witnesses

PW1 – Complainant (Warehouse Manager): Described how the theft
was discovered. PW2 – CCTV Technician: Verified the footage and
explained video authenticity. PW3 – IO (Investigating Officer):
Described recovery, interrogation, and material evidence. PW4 – Shop
Owner (Independent Witness): Confirmed accused tried to sell goods.
Cross-examination:
 Defense tried to show discrepancies in CCTV angles.
 Questioned the time gap between theft and FIR.
My Role: I helped prepare cross-exam questions and legal research on
the value of circumstantial evidence.

5. Accused Statement under Section 313 CrPC

Each accused was examined by the Magistrate:
 Raghav denied all involvement.
 Mohit claimed he was unaware of any theft and was just hired to
drive.
 Imran said he bought the items in good faith.
Observation: I learned how this stage allows the accused to personally
refute the prosecution’s case.

6. Defense Evidence (Not Offered)

The defense chose not to present any witnesses, relying instead on
arguments and cross-examination.
Observation: I understood that defense evidence is optional and
strategic.
7. Final Arguments
Prosecution: Focused on recovered stolen goods, circumstantial and
digital evidence, and witness corroboration. Defense: Raised doubt
about chain of custody and independent recovery.
My Contribution: I assisted the advocate in organizing case citations
and preparing rebuttals to key defense points.

8. Judgment and Sentencing

The Magistrate found Raghav and Mohit guilty under Sections 379 and
34 IPC; Imran was convicted under Section 411 IPC.
 Raghav Kapoor: Sentenced to 2 years of rigorous imprisonment.
 Mohit Rana: Sentenced to 1.5 years.
 Imran Sheikh: Sentenced to 1 year and fine of ₹20,000.
Observation: The court stressed the importance of protecting public
and commercial property and ensuring justice through credible
evidence.

Key Learnings
1. Comprehensive Investigation: Police use digital tools, records,
and recovery evidence efficiently.
2. Importance of Witnesses: Even technical witnesses like CCTV
experts play a crucial role.
 3. Role of Court: Ensures fair opportunity and legal compliance
throughout.
4. Legal Strategy: Defense may choose silence, cross-exam, or rely
on procedural lapses.

Conclusion
Observing the case State vs. Raghav Kapoor & Others gave me practical
insight into how criminal justice functions at the district level. From FIR
to sentencing, each step reinforced the value of procedural diligence,
legal strategy, and balanced justice. It also showed how internships can
shape legal understanding beyond textbooks.
