FROM THE CHANCELLOR’S DESK

DIRECTOR’S NOTE

FROM THE VICE CHANCELLOR

Now, we have an “official” newslet-

ter! A newsletter will help us in get-

ting to know ourselves better and

will be a tool to showcase our college

to the outside world. The first issue

of the E-Newsletter consists of re-

ports relating to the current legal

news, campus news, accomplishments of the college,

alumna interview etc. It will also help the outside world

to get a glimpse of what goes on at SSL. Reporting of

what we are doing on a regular basis, will be an excel-

lent way of letting the world know what we can do. The

Newsletter will highlight the academic and non-

academic and other activities of the College which is fast

developing into one of the leading law schools in Tamil

Nadu. It is my hope that this inaugural issue of the SSL

newsletter will be the first of a regular stream of news-

letters. Co-operation from all in providing information

regularly is essential to make this a success. I wish all

the success for the SSL Newsletter in the forth coming

years.

I am happy to share with you, our

First E-Newsletter of Saveetha

School of Law. The SSL Newslet-

ter will provide an insight into how

much is going on in our college. A

couple of news are worth empha-

sising. Firstly, the college recently

entered into an MOU with NLU

Bangalore, MNLU Mumbai and has started sending stu-

dents for internship. There are too many other news item

to mention and I encourage you to read this first issue in

order to understand the vibrancy of the college. In the

recent years, outstanding achievements of the students

say a lot about SSL’s standing and our growing reputa-

tion among the law schools. Over the past one year, the

college has moved forward in pursuit of excellence in

legal education. Finally, the time has come to communi-

cate our achievements and success to the world which

can be done through our quarterly Newsletter. Good

Luck.

I am very delighted to announce

that the first student edited news-

letter in Tamil Nadu is from our

institution. This is another proper

initiative taken by the faculties and

students of Saveetha School of

Law to build themselves a more

better environment for their profes-

sional studies. This newsletter shall act as a gateway be-

tween the students and the outside world. It also helps

the students know more about what’s happening around

and in creating a better inter-personal relationship. As we

are progressing towards a better tomorrow, this newslet-

ter plays an integral role in reaching out to everyone. I

wish the newsletter and it's team my best.

RAGUE’S NUNTIUM

SUPREME COURT TO EXAMINE MUSLIM PERSONAL LAW - AIM TO

END GENDER BIAS

The Supreme Court has resolved in

determining the existing legal provi-

sion which deals in examining Islam-

ic personal laws that has prejudice

thinking over Muslim women, main-

ly in the matters concerning with sys-

tem of Triple Talaq and Polygamy.

This controversial move may upset a section of commu-

nity that has resisted reform. Justice Thiru A.R. Dave

and Thiru A.K. Goel requested Chief Justice of India

Thiru H.L. Dattu to constitute an appropriate bench and

address this controversial issue in order to bring general

equality in Muslim personal law as they are not in par

with the constitution of India that prohibits discrimina-

tion on the basis of sex. The practice of Polygamy is in-

jurious to public morals and can be superseded by the

state just as practice of Sati.

BUSINESS MADE EASIER - BHARAT TO SIMPLIFY INCOME TAX LAW

Finance Minister Arun Jaitly said that

a Panel has been set up to simplify

country’s 55 year old Income tax law

in order to make business much easi-

er. The Committee will further sug-

gest ways to create predictability or

certainty in laws without having a

substantial impact on the tax base and revenue collec-

tions. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also directed

the Ministers to review laws to improve the country’s

ranking in the World Bank Index.

A Panel of 10 members headed by Delhi High

Court Judge has been set up so as to submit its sugges-

tions by the end of January 2016. Further this Panel has

also been instructed to identify provisions in the Tax

laws which are leading to litigations because of different

Interpretations.

COURTESY: Reuters TV- Oct 27th, 2015.

HOW ABOUT A POSITIVE CHANGE? The High Court

lawyers in both

benches of the

Madras High

Court, in Chennai

and in Madurai,

are agitating for

quite some time

demanding that

Tamil should be allowed in proceedings before the High

Court. This issue was addressed by Former Justice Mar-

kandey Katju in one of his recent Facebook Posts. He

raised his voice in support of these agitating lawyers and

believes that the demand of the lawyers is totally justi-

fied.

In this connection, he refers to Article 348 (2) of

the Indian Constitution which says:

"Notwithstanding anything in sub-clause (a) of

clause (1), the Governor of a State may, with the previous

consent of the President, authorise the use of the Hindi

language, or any other language used for any official pur-

poses of the State, in proceedings in the High Court hav-

ing its principal seat in that State: Provided that nothing

in this clause shall apply to any judgment, decree or order

passed or made by such High Court."

Pursuant to this Constitutional provision, the

Official Languages Act, 1963 was enacted by Parliament,

section 7 of which states:

" As from the appointed day or any day thereafter,

the Governor of a State may, with the previous consent of

the President, authorise the use of Hindi or the official

language of the State, in addition to the English language,

for the purpose of any judgment, decree or order passed

or made by the High court for that State, and where any

judgment, decree or order is passed or made in any such

language (other than the English language), it shall be

accompanied by a translation of the same in the English

language issued under the authority of the High Court. "

Under these provisions the states of U.P. Bihar, Madhya

Pradesh and Rajasthan have permitted use of Hindi in

(Continued on page 5)

Court proceedings and also for passing orders and judg-

ments in the High Court.

But, he lays down certain conditions in this con-

nection. “However, this should be subject to the follow-

ing conditions:

1. A lawyer should have the option to argue in Tamil

or in English.

2. Some Judges come from other states who do not

know Tamil. This category would include the

Chief Justice, because the policy is that the Chief

Justice of the High Court must be from another

state. Arguments before such Judges should be in

English; otherwise he would not understand it.

3. While judgments and orders by Judges should be

permitted to be passed in Tamil, preferably they

should be in English. This is because judgments of

a particular High Court are often cited in other

High Courts too. Although they are not binding in

other High Courts, they have persuasive value. So

unless they are in English, they may not be under-

stood.”

WHY FOOTSTEPS ALL THE TIME?

Why should always Criminal and Civil be as popular spe-

cializations, it is quite interesting that number of fresh

law graduates now opt for Niche fields.

Here are few areas that can be taken into consideration.

Property Law

Entails in solving cases relating to per-

sonal and real property.

Job role: In general, a property lawyer

entails taking up property related dis-

putes be it commercial or family. In

recent times property lawyers are now

being hired at the larger rate both for

the individual and companies prospec-

tive, a number of private as well as corporate firms are

now seeking legal advice from property lawyers while

investing in property related expenses.

Counsel Practice

It is broadly equivalent to Barrister’s

practice in U.K. It majorly focuses on

principal functions or involvement of

a counsel to argue in court or appear

as a “Junior brief” with other counsel.

Job role: The role of a counsel is to

advise, present in the court of law and

to anticipate issues and estimate risks

strategically. Here there won’t be any direct link be-

tween councils and the client. The scope of a career is

wide in this specialization as a number of companies and

individuals seek Expert and strategical legal advice.

Family Law

This particular law encompasses the legal issues that

family faces among themselves.Job role: The prime job

of a family lawyer would be to take

up cases revolving around issues such

as Divorce, child custody, Mainte-

nance, Guardianship etc. In family

law lawyer acts as a medium between

two families. Hence they play a major

role in mitigating disputes. In a coun-

try like India family law is vast. An increasing number of

marital issues and Inter-family disputes have led to an

increased demand for qualified family lawyers.

Marine Law

Are you an aspiring law graduate or a law student? then

hold one another interesting course is here to knock your

doors . We have been quite familiar with the word

“Maritime law”, ever wondered what is it all about. Mari-

time lawyers are legal professionals

who deal with matters related to laws

governing maritime territories around

the world. They are required to repre-

sent parties litigating over the arrest or

release of a maritime vessel, recover-

ing fees or seeking compensation

from vessel owners in case of an acci-

dent, collision or sinking. Maritime lawyers are required

to look into matters as diverse as assessing the liability of

ferrying goods or the exploitation of fish stocks in the

sea. This very field has always been a road not taken by

many so why don’t we step into it .As a trainee or a jun-

ior, a maritime lawyer can earn anywhere between

Rs10,000 to Rs25,000. The salary increases with experi-

ence and time. If you start with independent practice,

then your income will completely depend on your reputa-

(Continued on page 6)

tion and the quantum of work you do.

Energy Law

Convert energy

into money !

India is one of the

fastest developing

nations and is a

home for more than

a billion people.

Energy depletion is maximum here. Energy law is at

stake. This law has a vital role to play in bringing chang-

es towards the adoption of sustainable energy technolo-

gies. Ever wondered to read about taxation of petrol

while riding in your car? Fascinated by the nuclear ener-

gy in The incredible Hulk? Physics is not the only option.

Here is the course for you - "Energy Law". Apart from

being lawyers, you can also work in news channels, sales,

resource department, legal consultancies. You can be a

legal advisor in state and Central government. It is also

one of the jobs that fills your pocket well. Consider it.

Why not?

LETS DEBATE!

Why India Is Not Yet Ready For Gay

Marriage?

As the world's oldest democracy legalizes gay

marriage nationwide, it is time for the

world's largest democracy to perform some much needed

introspection - are we, as a people, society, and country

ready to legalize gay marriage?

The short, and sad, answer is ‘no’.

The problem isn't the Indian judiciary. I personal-

ly believe that, barring a few decisions (including Section

377), the Indian judiciary is, by far, India's most forward

looking institution, easily beating even the Prime Minis-

ter in terms of progressiveness and liberalism, and eclips-

ing many politicians in terms of egalitarianism and jus-

tice.

No, the problem lies deep down in that falsely

glorified, pathetically hollow, yet nonetheless beautiful

concept we call Indian society.

We as a society are simply, if not regrettably, far from

ready to legalize gay marriage.

The Indian Supreme Court is not stupid. If it were to pass

a nationwide gay marriage legalization ruling tomorrow,

it knows that there will be far more push back than sup-

port. It knows that the lower courts will ignore it, and it

knows that India's bureaucracy - filled with conservatives

- will happily reject it. The Supreme Court also knows

that the Parliament will throw a tantrum that it cannot

ignore. Not to mention the fierce resistance from con-

servative states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh - whose mis-

management is famous nationwide, but whose population

sizes offer too much political value for politicians to ig-

nore. Furthermore, the fact that this country is under the

rule of the BJP - a party that has openly rejected LGBT

rights on several occasions - does not help in the slight-

est.

But ignoring the political implications (the Supreme

Court has not been frightened by a politician since Indira

Gandhi), the SC knows very well why it won't legalize

gay marriage - Indian society won't digest it.

Let's face it - our society needs a massive makeo-

ver. Conservatism and right wing hate mongering are

eroding the base of our nation's founding principles -

equality, justice, and a fair life for everyone, regardless of

sexuality, creed, and identity. From a civilization that

championed pluralism, liberalism, and equality in diversi-

ty long before Western philosophers like John Stuart Mill

and Thomas Paine penned down their political treatises,

(Continued on page 7)

we have fallen to a civilisation that is mocked by the na-

tions we share this world with for our most primeval ide-

ologies, and our obsession with preserving a culture that

has been grossly misinterpreted.

(Continued from page 6)

ROMAN LAW now

forms part of the legal

education of most of the

Universities in England

and India. But, in Sher-

man’s words, “There still

lingers in some places

that now time-worn be-

lief that a knowledge of Roman Law is of no use at all

in the legal profession”. This view is untenable. “It is

based on the assumption that, because the Roman State

and tribunals perished centuries ago, therefore Roman

Law itself also has long been dead. Now this concep-

tion of the fate of Roman Law is historically inaccurate

and false. The spirit of Roman Law did not die,- on the

contrary it is still very much alive in our midst.

Moreover, it was the majestic and beneficent Roman

Law which more than any other single element bought

civilization back to Europe following the barbaric del-

uge of the Dark Ages. From Rome we have inherited

our conceptions of law, the State, and the family. The

high, firm, secure, legal position of woman in Europe-

an and American civilization, superior to all other

types, is a legacy from the Roman Law. The Civil Law

was the first to work out and recognize the equality of

woman with man. Roman law is now clothed in a

twentieth century garment of various patterns such as

the Roman-German Law, the Roman-French Law and

the Roman-English Law.”

The legal phraseology of the Roman jurists is far supe-

rior to anything found in Anglo-American Law. Law is

the main branch of Latin literature. To quote Sir Henry

Maine, “It was the only part of their literature in which

the Romans themselves took any strong interest; and it

is the only part which has profoundly influenced mod-

ern thought.”

Roman Law forms the basis of many modern systems

of law on the continent of Europe. The English and

American laws also owe a great deal to Roman Law,

particularly in the law of contracts, wills, easements

and mortgages. We, in India, whose laws are based on

English Law, are thus indirectly connected with Roman

Law.

In Dr. Lee’s words:

“Roman Law is one of the greatest things which

have happened in the world. It is part of a liberal edu-

cation to know something about it. Roman Law is an

introduction to the study of the Science of Law, as we

call it, Jurisprudence. For many centuries the science of

law was Roman Law. If in modern times it has wid-

ened its outlook and improved its methods its debt to

Roman Law remains unquestionable.”

The ethical value of the study of Roman Law is indis-

putable. “What the world needs today is not more law,

but more justice.” The great danger to our profession

is that its ideals are in peril of being commercialized. In

other words, the practice of law is in danger of becom-

ing a ere trade and of losing its professional nobility,

thus accurately described by the Roman jurist Ulpian:

‘When a man means to give his attention to law

he ought first to know whence the term “law” is de-

rived. Now law (Jus) is so called justice…’

The Roman jurists breathened deeply the pure air of

ethics; they taught the never-to-be forgotten truth that

law and ethics are very closely related. The ideal law-

yer is not one who has obtained the best legal equip-

ment for the practice of his profession, if that profes-

sional training has not developed his character along

the lines of what is just and right. Thus the loftiest sys-

tem of jurisprudence the world has ever seen cannot

fail to give first of all an enormous uplift to our charac-

ter to mould us in the right path, to help us succeed in

delivering full-fledged undisputable justice.

SAVEETHA UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN ACCREDITED BY NAAC

WITH ‘A’ GRADE

KNOW YOUR DIRECTOR! Our very own Di-

rector of SSL has

given a small in-

terview about her

way of life and

her very own se-

crets of success.

The whole inter-

view was a very

positive and reju-

venating experience. Let us look at a glimpse at it.

1. What is your secret of success that has helped

you to distinguish yourself from other people

in academics?

Honesty in improving the quality of legal education and

gearing the students to meet the future challenges in the

global scenario; I was trying to give the maximum aca-

demic freedom to students, to utilize their vibrant energy

in positive ways without any distractions. Simply, by be-

ing close to their heart.

2. Based on your past experiences, in what areas

do you think, the budding legal aspirants

should necessarily be more vigilant?

The present generation should focus more on their priori-

ty and focused area of study; there is a lot of competition

outside, from the top tier law schools. Thus, they have to

identify their own field of interest, equip themselves and

(Continued on page 10)

In addition to it, there are efforts made to develop joint

training and research programs that will be pursued in a

collaborated spirit.

(Continued from page 8)

fill in the gap to meet the outside competition.

3. What attributes or qualities should lawyers hold

in order to achieve outstanding success?

Honesty, integrity, discipline and commitment.

4. What you think are your greatest achievements

in your academic career?

I have 34 years of experience in the field of academics. I

have been always strong in my conscience that I have

done good for the benefit of the students enabling them to

hold their heads high. I have trained my students to with-

stand the pressure from the outside world; to help them

meet challenges in their daily life, be it personal or pro-

fessional.

5. Everyone has to bend or break the rules some-

time. Which type are you and give me some examples

of when you had to do this.

I have always taken the utilitarian approach, with reason-

ing. I have always had the courage to face the challenges

and fix things and, at the same time, I will always be able

to justify my actions fairly.

6. If you have a power to change the laws, what

are the changes which you would like to sug-

gest?

If I have a power to change the laws, it would be the

laws relating to woman.

(When asked if she is a feminist)

I am one, but I am not a hard core feminist. I feel blessed

for being born as a woman. I always cherish Indian fami-

ly values.

7. As a strong woman yourself, what is your gold-

en piece of advice for the budding woman law-

yers?

They should always feel proud and not disadvantaged.

Once you are really strong in your field of study, success

is all yours.

(Continued from page 9)

The great news is that, our senior Samyuktha from

the Gem Batch (2009-2014) has completed her LLM

(Intellectual Property Rights) in the University of

Leeds, United Kingdom. Here she is sharing her

wonderful experiences with all glee.

1. How difficult was it to make a decision to go

abroad to pursue higher education?

It was just happenstance that I took the decision of

going ahead for PG studies and specializing in one

particular area of law. I viewed it to be more of hav-

ing an area of expertise rather than confining myself

to one particular area of law. I was pretty much sure

that I wanted to earn an international degree rather

than doing it in India, as it would give me an interna-

tional perspective and also help me learn different

laws and expand my knowledge. While deciding

which country to peruse my further studies, UK was

the only country I chose and was lucky enough to get

offers from top colleges.

2. What made you choose Intellectual Property

Rights?

IPR was one of those subjects which fascinated me

after criminal law. But IPR had an international per-

spective than criminal law and it was that branch of

law which was growing in India that has a stupen-

dous protection available around the world. IPR

deals with brands, books, medicines and designs

which we use on a day to day basis and it creates the

(Continued on page 11)

urge to learn and know more about the protection

available and the reason for the requirement of pro-

tection to these intellectual properties and it's always

on the air and you get to learn something every mo-

ment in this growing technological world. IPR helps

me have the urge to learn and explore things con-

stantly.

3. How were people out there and how long did

it take for you to settle down?

We have people from around the world. We are 8 in

total in my branch of law and each one is from a dif-

ferent national and we get along really well. We will

have parties and hangouts planned specially for PG

students to get along and know each other.

4. What are your future plans as of now?

As of now I have not planned anything and I m look-

ing out for some good experience in my area of ex-

pertise and enhance my adroitness.

5. What advice would you like to give to those

who want to pursue higher education abroad?

PG is always spiffing idea for those who want to

show their proficiency in a particular field of law.

But choosing a subject which has an international

perspective would be a wise decision as it will not

make you feel worthless when you get back to prac-

tice in India. Laws differ from country to country

and we have to be shrewd and get our basic rights. A

degree from an international university has its own

value and it will make you feel proud of yourself and

achieve greater heights.
