ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY OF ALLAHABAD
University of Allahabad has always occupied an esteemed place among the universities of
India for over a century now. Established on 23rd September 1887, it is the fourth oldest
university of India after Calcutta, Bombay and Madras University. The credit for conceiving
a large Central College at Allahabad, eventually to develop into a University, is due to Sir
William Muir, then Lt. Governor of United Provinces. As a result of his initiative the
foundation stone of the Muir Central College (named after him) was laid on 9th December
1887 by His Excellency Lord Northbrook. Sir William Muir said on that occasion: "The
establishment of a central college at Allahabad has been my earnest desire ever since I
assumed my present office. Shortly after coming here I found that a strong wish prevailed
among the chief people of the place for a better means of education at Allahabad; and being
myself deeply impressed with the same conviction, I took occasion at the first Darbar which I
held here to urge upon those present the necessity of showing that they were sincere and in
earnest, by contributing to the work. The appeal was widely and liberally met, a considerable
sum was subscribed and address was presented to me in 1869, praying for the establishment
of the college here." On September 23, 1887 Act XVIII was passed which established the
Allahabad University. Like the Universities of Calcutta, Bombay and Madras, the Allahabad
University also started as a degree conferring institution. Its first entrance examination was
held in March 1889. In 1904 the Indian Universities Act was passed which limited the
territorial jurisdiction of Allahabad University to the United Provinces of Agra and Awadh,
the Central Provinces including Berar, Ajmer, Mewar and most of the states of Rajputana and
Central Indian Agencies. Between 1887 and 1927 at least thirty-eight different institutions
and colleges of this area were affiliated to Allahabad University. With the promulgation of
the Allahabad University Act in 1921, the Muir Central College lost its independent
existence. Between 1922-27 the University had its internal and external wings which were
subsequently separated from the University to give the latter a purely unitary and residential
character. In fact the Allahabad University was started with a preliminary loan of Rs. 5240/-
from the government to meet its expenses. The loans were repaid in two years. Henceforth,
the main source of its income was from the examination fees and sale of Prospectus &
Calendar. Being an examining body it met its incidental expenses easily.
In 1892-93 the University began to invest some capital in the Government Securities. In
1899-1900 its reserve fund amounted to Rs. 34,000. The University was thus now in a
position to construct its own buildings. In 1909 the present site was selected for the Library,
the Senate House and the Law college. These buildings, which now house the Registrar's
Office, Senate Hall and the English Department, were designed by Sir Swinton Jacob and
their construction was approved in 1910. The foundation of the Senate House was laid on
17th January 1910 by Sir John Havett, the Chancellor. The construction of the Senate Hall,
the Law College and the former Library building was commenced in 1910 and they were
completed in 1915 at the cost of Rs. 11,67,275. In 1923 the Government decided to acquire
the property of the Indian Press for the University at the cost of about seven lakh rupees. This
property comprised the present buildings of the Philosophy Department, the Department of
Med./Mod. History and the spacious buildings in which there was formerly the Proctor's
Office, Post Office, and some rooms which are shared by the Political Science, Med./Mod.
History, Ancient History and Hindi Departments. A few years ago this spacious building was
demolished. The Indian Press property also included a tiled roofed building behind the
dramatic hall and a similar type of building near the Political Science Department and another
building near the English Department. Of these the first two exist now, the third was
demolished recently. Since 1911 many new buildings have sprung up in the Senate House
Campus and in the Chathem Lines Campus. In the Senate House Campus the Union Hall, the
old Guest House, the building of the Commerce Department, the N.S.S. building, the
buildings of the Ancient History Culture and Archaeology Department, Political Science
Department, Department of Oriental Languages, Hindi Bhawan, Psychology Department,
Education Department, Geography Department the New Library building are comparatively
new constructions. Likewise in the Muir College Campus several alterations and additions
have been made from time to time. Among the new buildings, the buildings of the J.K.
Institute of Applied Physics, the new Gymnastic Hall, the new Mathematics Department are
some additions. As the years rolled on, the two campuses began to look small. Consequently,
the University obtained land from the Cantonment Board to house the department of Business
Administration, Law Faculty and Gandhi Bhawan, Recently the bungalow of the late Dr.
Bani Prasad has been purchased.
From the beginning the University has been concerned about women's education. It
purchased houses for a women's Hostel and College at the cost of Rs. 66,286 and other
buildings adjoining the College. While classes for girls were started in the old building,
Sarojini Naidu and later Priyadarshini Girls Hostel was constructed for the boarders and
recently the Shatabdi Girls Hostel has been constructed to accommodate many more
boarders. Ever since the inception of the Muir Central College in 1873, efforts were
constantly made to accommodate students coming from distant places. Formerly their were
two boarding houses, one situated in the barrack in Malaka near the jail, where the Swarup
Rani Hospital now stands. Later this boarding house was shifted to the tiled outhouse of the
Lowther Castle, where the classes of the Collage were held. Finally it was shifted to a large
thatched bungalow near the Bhardwaj Ashram. In 1910-11 the Muir Hostel(Now Amar Nath
Jha Hostel) was constructed; the Law Hostel (Now Sir Sunder Lal Hostel) was completed on
1914-15; Pandit Ganga Nath Jha Hostel (initially called New Hostel) was completed on 1928;
the Hindu Boarding House (Now popularly called Hindu Hostel), which was formerly a
straight building between 1902-22 without two wings was also constructed. About the same
time the Oxford and Cambridge courts of the present Holland Hall came into existence.
Subsequently, the P. C. Banerji Hostel, the K. P. University College and the Diamond Jubilee
Hostels were constructed. A few years back the Tara Chand Hostel was constructed. The
Muslim Boarding House (popularly called Muslim Hostel) is the oldest of all these hostels for
it was constructed in 1896-97. In this millenium year, the University of Allahabad completes
more than a hundred and thirteen years.
ABOUT THE FACULTY OF LAW
When the High Court at Allahabad was established in 1866, need was felt for advocates for
practicing in the High Court and the District Courts. The minimum requirement for an
advocate was Barrister qualification from England or Bachelor of Laws degree after
graduation from Calcutta University. As such teaching of law was commenced in Muir
Central College of Allahabad, affiliated to Calcutta University (estab. 1857), on December
31, 1972 with 39 students in English Section and 10 in Urdu Section. In 1887 Allahabad
University was established, as a teaching - cum - affiliating University by a Central Order for
the northern India barring the jurisdiction of Punjab University (estab. 1881) and Calcutta
University. The Law Department also obtained a raised stature accordingly. Hon'ble Justice
D. Straight was appointed the first president of Law Department in 1890. By an order in
Council of the Governor of United Provinces, the Department of Legal Studies became a
separate single Department Faculty of the University along with the Faculties of Arts,
Science and Commerce in the Muir College campus of the University. Under the Indian
Universities Act of 1904, the posts of Professor, Reader and Lecturer were recognised for the
University. However, till 1921 the Law Department functioned with advocates as part-time
teachers holding all the three cadres. In 1921 Professor Weir, a distinguished jurist became
first Head of Law Department when the University was re-organised as a residential
University by an Act of the United Province of British India. In 1936 two full-time posts of
Reader were created on which Prof. K. K. Bhattacharya, LL.M. (London) and Prof. K. R. R.
Sastri, ML (Madras) were appointed. Professor K.K. Bhattacharya became first full-time
Professor in Law Department in 1949. In 1955, Law Department became first Department of
Allahabad University with two posts of Professors in one Department of the University when
an additional post of Professor of Jurisprudence was created.
Law Campus: The Law Department functioned in Muir College from 1872 onwards till the
new building for Law Faculty of immense architectural beauty was constructed around 1910,
adjacent to Senate House on the northern side by the donations provided by the Oudh Bar
Association. However this building (now being used by Department of English Studies) did
not possess suitable and sufficient accommodation for the fast expanding Law Library and
for holding of tutorials in LL.B. Classes which was made compulsory by the Bar Council of
India. The Law Department was shifted to the new building which was constructed by UGC
grants in the Chatham Lines campus of which Hon'ble Mr. A.K. Sen, the then Law Minister
of India, had laid the foundation stone in 1965. The transfer of Law Department to the new
building was completed in early 1980s. Till 1955 when principle of rotation for the Dean
among Professors was introduced, the Head of Law Department was also the Dean of the
Law Faculty.
Law Department and High Court/Bar Association: There had been intimate relationship
between the High Court and the Law Department when part-time Professor and part-time
Reader were allowed to be appointed from High Court Bar. Shri A. P. Dube, Bar -at-Law, an
eminent advocate was the last part-time Professor - Head when in 1949 Professor K. K.
Bhattacharya became the first full-time Professor - Head of the Law Department. The Law
Department continues to have four posts of part-time Lecturers. It is notable that Sir Tej
Bahadur Sapru, Pundit Moti Lal Nehru, Sir Sunder Lal, Dr. Kailash Nath Katju had been
part-time teachers in the Law Department. Before they became Judges, Justice Iqbal Ahmed,
Justice Wali Ullah Justice P. N. Sapru, Justice M. H. Beg , Justice M. N. Shukla had been
part-time teachers of Law Department. Two Judges of High Court have consistently been
members each of Board of Studies and Faculty Board of Law.
Milestones: Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru, Dr. Kailash Nath Katju and Justice Wali Ullah had
obtained LL.D. from the Law Department as regular candidates after the LL.D. Degree was
introduced in 1921. Chief Justice Das of the Supreme Court of India had been awarded LL.D.
(Honours) in 1960. After D.Phil. Degree was introduced in 1963, Dr. U. N. Gupta, Dr. D. N.
R. Pandey and Dr. P. S. Sangal were first to get the degree in 1966 convocation. Personal
Distinction: Dean Professor K.K. Bhattacharya, Head of Law Department was nominated as
MP by the President of India to the first Federal unicameral Parliament of India under the
Constitution of India in 1950.

ABOUT THE FIRST VIRTUAL NATIONAL MOOT COURT COMPETITION
Law & Technology have often shared a unique relationship. We have taken the initiative of
organizing the First Virtual National Moot Court Competition keeping the situation of Covid
Pandemic in mind. The Faculty of Law, University of Allahabad is organising the 1st Edition
of National Moot Court Competition, 2021. This program will be technically supported by
Droit Penale Group, Prayagraj.
The Faculty of Law, University of Allahabad is conducting this Moot Court Competition
from April 9th to 11th, 2021 which will revolve around the theme of Human Rights and
Constitutional Law.
The Moot Proposition has been drafted by Mr. Aman Singhania, Advocate, Supreme
Court of India and Delhi High Court. Participants are forbidden from contacting the author
directly on any issues relating to the present moot proposition.
MOOT PROPOSITION
1. Aryaland is a developing country which is seen as the future of the 21st century world
order. Despite low income levels and many economic challenges, the landscape of the
country is rapidly improving. Aryaland recognizes the contribution of the
economically and industrially developed state of the âMahapradeshâ to its growing
prosperity. Mahapradesh Metro Corporation Limited (âMMCLâ) is a joint venture
between the Government of Aryaland and the Government of Mahapradesh. MMCL
is in the midst of constructing a metro rail project widely acclaimed as the
Mahapradesh Metro.
2. The proposed metro project intends to link various industrial towns and cities of the
rich state of Mahapradesh and provide a big boost to Aryalandâs economy. A part of
the Mahapradesh Metro plan is intended to run through the sacred forest land called
Vanaspati and more so, next to the sacred tree temple of Vanphool which is one of the
most revered sites for the small Vanshaj Community of Aryaland. While the project
would not pass through the central âsanctum sanctorumâ of the Vanphool, it would
certainly encroach on some exterior periphery of the Vanphool as well as large parts
of the Vanaspati forest. It is feared that the project would also cause large scale
pollution and damage to Vanaspati.
3. On coming to know of the project, some Vanshaj Community members got together
and filed a Writ Petition before the Mahapradesh High Court in connection with the
proposed construction. It was submitted that the Vanphool was a 200 year old heritage
temple with special religious and spiritual significance for Vanshaj Community across
Aryaland and that the proposed construction through Vanaspati would violate the
fundamental rights of the Petitioners under Article 25 and Article 29 of the
Constitution of Aryaland (âConstitutionâ). It was submitted that the Petitioners had
made various representations before the Government which did not bear any result, as
a result of which the Petitioners were constrained to move the Hon'ble Mahapradesh
High Court to protect their fundamental rights.
4. By the time the Petition was filed, the proposed construction was progressing and was
about to enter the Vanaspati land. When the Petitioners moved the Hon'ble
Mahapradesh High Court, the Hon'ble High Court realizing the serious challenge
raised by the Petitioners and considering that the issue involved serious aspects of
Constitutional law, granted an ad-interim stay on the proposed construction, pending
the hearing and final disposal of the Petition.
5. Thereafter, during the course of the hearing, the Petitioners argued that: a) The
Vanphool tree temple is the central focus of the Vanshaj religion. b) No Vanshaj
rituals can be complete without the presence of some relic/ dried leaves/ wood piece
or even soil from the Vanphool tree temple. c) Vanphool temple in particular and
Vanaspati forest in general represent the divinity to the Vanshaj community. d) The
Petitioners stated that Mahapradesh Metro would cause widespread damage to
Vanaspati and would encroach upon Vanphool, which is central to Vanshaj religious
belief. Therefore, its rarity has to be preserved.
6. According to Petitioners the fundamentals to Vanshajism are: a) Visiting the
Vanphool temple and praying at it at least once in a lifetime and walking from the
edge of the Vanaspati forest to Vanphool for the same; b) Belief that the periphery of
the Vanphool and the surrounding Vanaspati forest gives nourishment to the
Vanphool tree temple; c) The belief that the Vanaspati should remain unpolluted and
clean so as to ensure pure offerings to the Vanphool tree and temple. Thus, if the
Metro Project is allowed to continue it would result in the complete desecration of the
Vanphool and Vanaspati and turn it into a spiritual disaster for the entire Vanshaj
community. d) It was argued that the above spiritual aspects and beliefs form an
essential and integral part of the Vanshaj religion. The same form an inextricable part
of the belief system of the religion. Further, the Petitioners also argued that the trees
were living creatures which had their own set of rights which were ought to be
protected for the benefit of the trees as well as the whole of humanity.
7. The Petitioners were supported by all the high priests of the Vanshaj community who
filed affidavits in support of the Petition. With this the Petitioners requested that the
Mahapradesh Metro should be directed to shift outside the forest 2 kilometers away
and pass through a barren land without affecting any trees. Thus the rights of the
Petitioners as well as the trees would remain secure.
8. MMCL, on the other hand, argued that the Petitioners had failed to establish any right
under Article 25 of the Constitution and that there was no scriptural material produced
which would show that passing the Metro Project next to the Vanphool without
directly cutting down/ damaging the Vanphool would violate the spiritual sanctity of
the Vanphool. No scriptures were presented to substantiate the beliefs relating to the
Vanphool or the Vanaspati, in the Petition. MMRCL argued that not all religious
rights can claim constitutional protection, which protection is extended only to
essential religious practices. In the present case, the Petitioners had failed to establish
that the issues raised in the Petition are essential or integral to the Vanshaj religion.
They contended that merely filing affidavits of high priests would not show that there
was any right under Article 25 of the Constitution which was being violated.
9. MMCL also submitted that rights under Article 25 of the Constitution are subject to
other fundamental rights under Chapter III of the Constitution and that the citizens of
Aryaland have a right under Article 21 of the Constitution to use a metro line and
have access to the benefits and convenience associated with it. It was submitted that
the rights under Article 25 of the Constitution are subservient to the rights under
Article 21 of the Constitution.
10. MMCL argued that shifting the tunnel from its present alignment would entail further
cost and burden the state exchequer and would hamper the future of Aryaland as a
future economic power. Hence it was submitted that the reliefs prayed for ought not to
be granted.
11. After a detailed hearing, the Hon'ble High Court disposed off the Writ Petition and
permitted MMCL to continue with the construction of the tunnel under the present
alignment without any change. The Hon'ble High Court upheld the contentions of
MMCL and rejected the contentions of the Petitioners.
12. The Petitioners have now approached the Hon'ble Supreme Court of Aryaland by way
of a Special Leave Petition. The Supreme Court has granted an injunction on the
proposed construction pending the hearing and final disposal of the case. The matter
is coming up for final hearing on (To be inserted). Meanwhile, parties are requested to
file their written submissions on the following questions of law framed in the matter:
(a) Whether the beliefs of the Petitioners as contended in the Writ Petition and pertaining
to the (1) Vanphool and (2) Vanaspati , form an âessentialâ and âintegralâ part of the
Vanshaj religion?
(b) Whether the construction of Metro Project will desecrate the spiritual sanctity of the
Vanphool and Vanaspati and violate the Petitionersâ rights under Article 25 of the
Constitution?
(c) Whether the Vanaspati deserves standalone protection as living creatures in contrast
to the development agenda of Aryaland?
Note: All laws applicable in the present case shall be pari-materia to the laws of the Union of
India
