Justice Anshuman Emphasizes Revival of Patna Law College’s Historic Legacy | Patna News – Times of India
Patna: Expressing his concern at the recent deterioration in the “quality of education” imparted in the 115-year-old Patna Law College, high court judge, Justice Anshuman, on Tuesday called upon the teachers and students to work hard for the restoration of its old glory.
Delivering a lecture on ‘Constitution and Morality’ on the occasion of Constitution Day, Justice Anshuman, who is an alumnus as well as a teacher of this institution, said that the college has produced more than 250 judges, including two Chief Justices of India, since its inception. However, the standard of arguments put forward by the lawyers graduating from this institution is not up to the mark, he said.
He asked the students to pay more attention towards their studies and also visit the district or high court to witness the arguments in different cases. They will learn many things by visiting the courts regularly and witnessing the proceedings, he said.
He also asked the college authorities to include the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bhartiya Sakshya Sanhita (BSS), enforced in the country on July 1, in the LLB syllabus so that students may be conversant with these.
He pointed out that law without morality is fire without heat. “Law needs morality to be effective. The Constitution is the grundnorm (fundamental rule or order) of law and it is the base upon which all laws of the country are tested.”
Constitution Day was also celebrated at the political science department of Magadh Mahila College. Delivering a lecture on ‘Forensic Science: A Tool to Strengthen the Rule of Law in India’ on the occasion, Ranjita Kumari of Central Forensic Science Laboratory, New Delhi, explained in detail its application in the Indian legal system. She pointed out that forensic science can aid in investigation and prosecution of crimes, thereby contributing to the strengthening of the rule of law.
