NLU Delhi has won the National Rounds of the Leiden-Sarin International Air Law moot, alongwith the Best Memorial Award. Seven Indian participated in this moot nad the top three teams shall be participating in the internationla rounds of this moot.
Clearly, since this noot is not their in MPL once again NLU Delhi will miss out on due credit it deserves. It happened the last time when LawAsia moot was not included despite 4 Indians teams participating including NLS Bangalore.
I dont want to sound pejorative but its high time a system is evolved to give us due credit. If Leader of the scoring board is so unfairly treated, its going to seriously damage the credibility of the not only the MPL of the entire website.
If you are going tell me its too late to include it, and it unfair to the other teams. Please look back to how NLU Jodhpur was awarded points retroactively for some International MArtime Moot in which on 3 Indian teams partcipated.
Honestly, missing out on points after WINNING TWO INTERNATIONAL MOOTS is the height of discrimination. Its only a matter of time before MPL looses its credibility.
