KARNATAKA HIGH COURT TRIP DAY 1

For the first time , we were having a class trip to karnataka high court ( It's funny , but law students do get excited just to get a glimpse of the High Court) , but it was a big day and people genuinely wanted to get a glimpse.

we reached on time , for a change, law students thought to go beyond the Indian standard time and there we were.

I was very focussed,
I knew i had to take the picture of the collection of pigeons which looked beautiful in the garden out there, i had to check out the tea in the canteen and compare it with other canteens i had visited.i was taken back by the red color of the building and as a true student did not wish to enter the court rooms!

but ya it was 10 am and all we students looked like kids on a picnic and we were shooed into different rooms.

As any other student who had to look smarter, we were all trying to figure out which court room to enter.we had options, we had numbers 1 to 35 or more as court halls. criminal to civil anything and everything.

so there we sat, sharp at 10,00 am. at this point this act looked really pious cos we had seats when some less fortunate lawyers did not have seats. and we were sitting in rooms which were surrounded by police.

it was pious till 10.10
it was ok till 10.20
it was bearable till 10.45

but by 10, 50 students were giving up, they were discussing on delaying of cases, punctuality , judicial accountability . theories that took solid form of debates in the same pious room , but some were still true to their cause, they were sleeping...


at 11, the judge entered and all the lawyers who were perfectly happy with the system suddenly were awakened from their siestas and then we came to business ...

they started arguing....

at the first case , all of the students were noting down notes just to impress themselves , these are the only moments in a law students' life that he/she feels as a part of something ...

for some it was a task of handling two languages at the same go , kannada and English.for some it was trying to keep themselves awake and for some, seeking pleasure out of the mauling unveiled to the lawyers by the judges (this has been passed on by siddharth nair , who stated one of his favorite lines
"i no ur an honorable man so dnt let me expose u and dishonour u in frnt of everyone.")
.....

but ya , some things did catch the maximum attention ,
like the condition of the public prosecutors who kept on arguing and got jacked for his level of preparation and the level of investigation .
I was fascinated by the fancy cars that were parked and owned by the noble people in this profession. all i could think was how were they making so much money......



that was day one,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
