About Criminal Law Review

Criminal Law Review (CrLR) is a legal start-up which began operations in Jan 2018. CrLR works tirelessly to assist the legal fraternity in the field of Criminal Law. It started as a criminal law blog, and is now working towards establishing itself as a full-fledged research organization.

In 2019, CrLR successfully conducted the first edition of Criminal Law Review National Writing Competition. And this time, we are back with another mystery for you to solve!

About the Competition

This is the first edition of the CrLR Judgment Writing Competition. The problem presented is primarily based on the principle of circumstantial evidence, an issue which has always been a topic of much discussion (/bone of contention), for one and all. The problem has been drafted by a Supreme Court Advocate who has previously worked at Amarchand & Mangaldas

From the Drafter: ‘go right ahead and deliver the Judgment extrapolating and assuming all further relevant facts and admissibility/relevance thereof’
