Introduction to AIBE 20 Preparation

This marathon session was designed as a rapid-fire revision tool for aspirants appearing for the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) 20. The class focused on covering a vast breadth of legal subjects, mixing traditional core law topics with newer legal developments, including the new criminal laws (BNS, BNSS, and BSA). The primary goal was to familiarize students with the format of questions, key sections, and landmark case laws essential for passing the exam.

Key Subject Areas & Highlights

The session was divided into segments led by different instructors. Below are the specific legal points emphasized during the class.

1. Constitutional Law

A significant portion of the session was dedicated to the Constitution of India, focusing on fundamental rights, writs, and amendments.

• Sources of Constitution: The concept of "Freedom of Trade and Commerce" was noted as being borrowed from Australia.
• Writs: The writ of Mandamus ("We Command") is issued to enforce the performance of public duties by authorities.
• Amendments:
  • The 58th Constitutional Amendment made provisions for publishing the authentic Hindi translation of the Constitution.
  • The 44th Amendment removed the Right to Property from Fundamental Rights (Article 31) and made it a constitutional right under Article 300A.
• Landmark Doctrines: The Doctrine of Colorable Legislation ("What you cannot do directly, you cannot do indirectly") was discussed with the case State of Bihar vs. Kameshwar Singh.

2. Criminal Law (IPC, CrPC, Evidence & New Laws)

The session integrated questions from the old codes (IPC, CrPC, Evidence Act) and the new criminal laws (BNS, BNSS, BSA), highlighting the transition.

• New Punishments: The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) introduces Community Service as a new form of punishment for petty offenses.
• Procedural Changes (BNSS): Section 479 BNSS was discussed regarding the maximum period of detention for undertrials, noting its retrospective application.
• Zero FIR: The concept allows an FIR to be registered at any police station regardless of jurisdiction, a procedural safeguard emphasized in the new codes.
• Section 138 NI Act: The main objective of Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act is to recover the cheque amount in case of bounce, triable by a Magistrate Court.

3. Civil Procedure Code (CPC) & Family Law

• Res Judicata: The session clarified that if a suit is dismissed due to the failure to produce a succession certificate, a second suit is not barred by Res Judicata (as it wasn't decided on merits).
• Jurisdiction: For immovable property, suits should be instituted in the court within whose jurisdiction the property is situated (Section 16 CPC).
• Muslim Law:
  • Talaq-ul-Biddat (Triple Talaq) is considered complete and irrevocable under traditional law but has been declared unconstitutional.
  • Muta Marriage: Identified as a temporary marriage for a fixed period, valid under Shia law but not Sunni law.
• Hindu Law:
  • Adoption: A male Hindu adopting a female child must have an age difference of at least 21 years.
  • Sapinda Relationships: Marriages within prohibited Sapinda relationships are void unless custom permits.

4. Important Case Laws for AIBE 20

The instructors emphasized matching case laws to legal principles, a common format in AIBE.

• Sexual Harassment: Vishaka vs. State of Rajasthan is the seminal case for guidelines against sexual harassment at the workplace.
• Environmental Law: M.C. Mehta vs. Union of India (Oleum Gas Leak case) established the principle of Absolute Liability.
• Basic Structure: Kesavananda Bharati vs. State of Kerala was reinforced as the case establishing the Basic Structure Doctrine.
• PIL: Hussainara Khatoon vs. State of Bihar was cited as the first PIL case in India, focusing on the rights of undertrials and speedy trial.

5. Professional Ethics & Advocacy

• Misconduct: Professional misconduct includes actions like threatening the opposite party or knowingly filing forged documents. The Bar Council of India is the regulatory body for the legal profession.
• Right to Practice: Section 30 of the Advocates Act gives advocates the right to practice in all courts, while Section 35 deals with punishment for misconduct.

Exam Strategy Tips from the Instructors

Throughout the marathon, the instructors provided practical advice for AIBE aspirants:

1. Bare Acts are Key: Since AIBE is an open-book exam (allowing Bare Acts without notes), students were advised to carry authoritative Bare Acts and focus on the Index to locate sections quickly.
2. Elimination Method: For tricky questions, use the elimination method to rule out clearly incorrect options (e.g., distinguishing between civil and criminal remedies).
3. Don't Panic on Case Laws: While case laws are important, the exam also relies heavily on direct section-based questions. If you don't know a case, focus on the statutory provisions.
