In other news, The ICC International Moot which concluded in Paris on the 12th of February ended without any notable Indian presence at the top. NLU, Jodhpur managed to reach the Quarter Finals of the competition.
Allahabad opens MPL account at ULC Bangalore beating NLU-J
Faculty of Law Allahabad won its first gold in the fourth season of the Mooting Premier League sponsored by Herbert Smith Freehills, prevailing over NLU Jodhpur in the Tier 5 ULC Bangalore moot.
The semi-finalists were SVKM’s Pravin Gandhi College of Law and Law Centre-1, New Delhi.
Pandey commented. “It feels wonderful to be the winner of this moot, especially when the victory is against a national law school. We have been working over the problem for two months. As soon as the ULC moot proposition was released we invested our heart and soul for the moot. We had no external help from any faculty and the credit of the entire victory goes to our tireless efforts.”
She added: “The moot problem was a well-researched one. We were able to lay down arguments for both the sides easily. The semi-final with SVKM was the toughest round that we went through in the moot. But, however, I felt that in the final round our opponent team was not grilled as much as we were grilled by the judges. The judging of Justice Reddy was indeed an awesome one.”
“The organisers of the ULC moot deserves a special mention. They were really helping and welcoming.”
The moot’s convenor, Mr Mahesh, confirmed that 32 teams across India participated. ULC Bangalore also gets 1 MPL organiser points, equivalent to half of semi-finalists’ points, as it did not participate in its own moot.
International law firm Herbert Smith is sponsoring the Mooting Premier League (MPL) and will contribute a prize pool of Rs 60,000 for the top three winning colleges.

It is not. Please check the list of achievements and the points alloted to them. THe mistake was earlier where 10 extra points were given . Now it has been rectified.
They have been given 35 points in T2 for reaching semis of DM Harish whereas they should be given only 15 as per MPL 4 rulebook. Thus it gives them 20 extra "mathematically incorrect" Marks.
Please rectify at the earliest possible opputunity.
I have been consistently pointing out errors in the calculation. Firstly with NLU-J given 10 marks low. then HNLU given 10 marks exrtra and now 20 marks extra two NUJS. I have started to wonder that these are delibrate mistakes
Semis are 25 points at DMH.
So actually it looks like there is a mistake: should have been 45 points from DMH for NUJS, not 35... We'll amend asap.
Best wishes
Kian
As per MPL 4 rulebook 35 points for DMH to NUJS is correct.
They should be given 15 for semis and 20 for best orator which means a total of 35 only and NOT 45.
Its just that the best orator was not mentioned in the table and thus i thought that it was a mathematical error.
I apologise and thank you Kian for the quick response.
Our table is a little temperamental this year due to some technical issues but we'll try to improve on it so these kind of mix-ups dont occur in future...
Best wishes
Kian
