THE K.K. LUTHRA MEMORIAL MOOT COURT, 2020 Queries & Clarifications: We have recently received queries from teams, who have sought a clarification on the Moot Problem as under: Ql. Al. Q2. A2. Q3. A3. Q4. Ad, AS. Q6. AG. Q7. AT. Page 7 Para 5 - Elaborate "any similarly worded law". No Clarification is required. Participants are expected to rely upon the Moot Problem. Can we use amendments made by the IT Act, 2000 to Indian Penal Code, 1860? The information given at Point No. 5 of Notes for Counsel sufficiently answers the query. Seek the following clarifications: Para 23 of the problem states "The prosecutor's office considered the matter and decided to challenge the pre-trial ruling...". Is it to be assumed that the prosecution has decided to challenge the order of acquittal on the direction of the State Government, given the fact that Sec. 378(1)(b) of the CrPC does not allow the prosecution to file an appeal sou moto? Para 24 has provided that the defense has decided to file "cross-appeal" on the order of conviction for the attempt to theft charge. Section 374 (2) of the CrPC provides only for appeals for conviction if the sentence is for more than 7 years of imprisonment, which is not the case in the present situation. So are we to assume that "cross-appeal" is inclusive of an "application for revision" under Section 401 of the CrPC? The maintainability of the appeals is not in issue before the Court. Whether the parties can argue on the issue of maintainability, or the appeals are to be assumed as maintainable? Appeals are to be assumed as maintainable. Given that 4 appeals are being heard together, ie. Appeal No.s 10, 11, 12 and 13 of 2019, what will be the cause title of the matter posted for hearing on 18" to 20" Jan 2020 before the Hon’ble High Court of Erewhon? No clarification required. What would be the preferred format of citation- the 20" Edition of the Bluebook system or the 19" one? No clarification required — See Point 16 of Moot Rules. We needed clarification that "Non-Joinder" of BFG is an issue or not? No clarification required.
