About the Opportunity

The 1st Dr. B.S. Goel Memorial International Moot Court Competition seeks to provide an intellectually stimulating platform for aspiring legal professionals to engage with some of the most complex and evolving legal challenges of the digital age. The moot proposition is situated at the intersection of Cyber Security, Artificial Intelligence, Internet Ethics, and Constitutional Governance, reflecting the realities of a rapidly digitising society.

Set in the fictional Republic of Indica, the problem addresses critical constitutional and criminal law questions arising from cyber harassment, online impersonation, misuse of personal data, and cross-border digital offences. Participants are invited to examine the expanding contours of Article 21 (Right to Life, Privacy, and Dignity), the scope of Article 19(1)(g) in the digital economy, and the extent of State obligations in safeguarding fundamental rights in cyberspace.

The proposition further explores issues relating to extraterritorial jurisdiction under cyber laws, admissibility of electronic evidence, data protection principles, and the balance between individual freedoms and technological regulation. By integrating elements of criminal law, constitutional law, cyber law, and international legal principles, the moot problem aims to foster critical thinking, legal research, and advocacy skills among participants.

Through this competition, the organizers endeavor to encourage nuanced legal discourse on emerging digital threats while emphasizing the role of law in ensuring accountability, justice, and ethical governance in an increasingly interconnected world.
