Congratulating the team, Prof. (Dr.) V. C. Vivekanandan, the Vice Chancellor of the University, remarked, “The performance of HNLU mooters in the premier moot court on a happening interface of technology and law is an indicator that HNLU mooters are setting new standards and have arrived in the Moot Scene. The University wishes Anushka, Amrita, Amrutha and Vijay Kumar the very best and applauds the Moot Court convener and faculty mentors for their role.”
