On a fine September morning the students of LLB
Semester I were blessed to witness the great Mr. Bharat Chugh, a Knight in a shining
armor for many law students, a real life Idol in action. Mr. Bharat Chugh an
Ex-Metropolitan Magistrate, A Delhi Judicial Services Topper, A faculty of law graduate
from Jamia Milia Islamia was invited by our Director Dr. Md. Salim to enlighten the
students on his journey, Importance of Judicial services and How students should not let
the world put them down. Mr. Chugh also told us on why he came back to being a
litigator, - “Judgeship is extremely fulfilling but I always used to miss the high
that one gets on successfully arguing a challenging legal question, cross examining a
tough witness or convincing a difficult bench," he said. "The last
three and half years on the bench have given me an insight into civil, commercial and
criminal litigation, having had the opportunity of dealing with thousands of such cases.
Armed with this experience, I am really looking forward to some great litigation."
The speaker enlightened us on the importance of judicial services and how people
don’t opt for judicial services and go for other work such as corporate. He shared
with us his journey on how he began as a litigator and practiced as a litigator for
nearly two years. He told us on how his Dad wanted to see his son as a judge where he
himself had practiced. He went on to tell us how challenging it is to be a judge and how
it is also rewarding. He told us how being a judge gave him the power to change
something from within even though little by little. He said he knows how much people
make fun of Indian law system and how they say it is not doing anything for the
betterment of the country, Being the youngest civil judge he said he felt that being a
judge gave him the power to change something even though it was through baby steps at
the time. ” Nothing can be changed overnight” he said, “but we moving
in that direction is a start nonetheless”. Mr. Chugh also enlightened us on his
decision to start practicing again,” I have always been a passionate
litigator”
Mr. Chugh as gallant a man he already is also answered the
students question with extreme ease. His exposure and experience was valiantly flowing
through his words to us. His seminar was such that the students did not want him to go
and just wanted to gain and learn as much they could from him. His presence here at
Lloyd Law College, Top ba llb
colleges in noida, enriched our minds and gave us the an idea as to
how to follow our dreams.
