    bout Seminar

    Amongst the three organs of the government, Judiciary is the only that is left with some

    credit in class, mass and the public. Unfortunately, rightly or wrongly, systematic invasion

    on the credibility of this institution is in offing. This seminar aims at to discuss whether

    there is any truth or no truth in allegations of personal and institutional level wherein

    judiciary has been made to stand on trial in public and its image is getting drastically

    tarnished. MATS Law School, MATS University, Raipur, Chhattisgarh is providing the

    platform to the members of the judiciary (who have no platform otherwise) to speak out for

    themselves and their institutions without fear or favour as a purely academic venture

    which in the end is effective enough to communicate to all stake holders e.g. the Public,

    Litigants, Executive, Legislatures, Judges (serving as well as retired), to come forward and to

    suggest ways and means to uproot and do away with these calumnies and onslaughton the

    system which is back bone of the entire fabric. Come, join and sit with us to find out the

    causes and the remedies before it is too late.
