We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Moderator: In the interests of student safety, I would request all threads on the Abhaya case on LI to be taken down for 48 hours. You will see from the second link that a very famous and senior doctor, Dr Kunal Sarkar, has been summoned by the police today for his posts on the case on social media. The police are trawling the internet and sending summons, so please take the posts down for 48 hours only. My hunch is that the Cal HC will be approached to strike down the police action: let's wait till then. If Dr Sarkar can be summoned anyone can be summoned.
Moderator, things and very serious and volatile and the welfare of LI readers/NUJS students is paramount.
