\"AtulNoida:<\/strong> Amity Law School, Noida is organising the 3rd \u201cAmity Competition on Law Reforms\u201d from January 22-24, 2014 at Amity Campus, Sector- 125, Noida.<\/p>\n

The theme for the competition is based on \u201cReforms in the field of Sports Laws\u201d and would test the awareness of the students regarding Sports Laws and their ability to frame an exhaustive code to govern the same. The concept of the Competition is unique since it will give an opportunity to the budding lawyers to exercise their skills in framing a proper Bill along with Statement of Object and Reasons.<\/p>\n

Welcoming the august gathering, Maj. Gen. Nilendra Kumar-Director, Amity Law School, Noida said that Competition on law reforms is an innovative mode of clinical legal education which apprises law students with the gaps and inadequacies in existing laws but also, enable them to grasp the different over-lapping statutes and constitutional provisions. It also helps to stimulate their ingenuity to come up with new concepts worthy of legislative introduction.<\/p>\n

Addressing the gathering, Atul Wassan, Ex-Cricketer said that Sports evoke different emotions in different people. He expressed his concern over the Indian system which gives all the importance to Cricket with little or no importance to other Sports like Boxing, Kabaddi etc. \u201cIt\u2019s the same blood and sweat that goes into making a good player in any Sports\u201d remarked Mr. Wassan. He opined that other neglected Sports have to find their own way and produce Champions in order to have more funds and to become popular in India.<\/p>\n

Talking about the \u201clifetime ban on the players\u201d, Wassan said that the players who indulge in doping, match fixing etc should be dealt with sternly and if there are enough evidences against the player, he should be banned for the lifetime. \u201cThe ban acts as a deterrent for other players to indulge in such betrayal to the Sports and their fans. He stressed that even if betting is legalised in Cricket, it is not sure that the menace of match fixing will stop. He shared the example of England which was the first country to legalise betting in Cricket and also, was the first to send its cricket players to prison for match fixing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He suggested that, rather than focussing on all the Sports, India should focus at 4-5 Sports where Indians are good at and develop them. He averred that Indians are good in those Sports which are based on the use of skills\/techniques like Chess, Shooting and Archery, therefore, the stress should be given to develop these Sports.<\/p>\n

He lamented that India was not a Sporting country. \u201cThere are very few people in India who play Sports everyday for fun, hence, the lack of Sports Champions in India. He stressed that the way Sports Federations are run in the country is shameful. Either the progressive measures are not implemented or are implemented at a very slow pace. Transparency should be paramount in all the Federations,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

Seven leading Law Schools from India are participating in the competition including ILS Pune, Faculty of Law – Punjab University, SVKM Pravin Gandhi Law School \u2013 Mumbai, UILMS – Gurgaon and Amity Law School \u2013 Delhi and Noida and are being judged by leading law professionals and academicians including Rahul Mehra – Advocate, Supreme Court of India, Hemanshu Chaturvedi – CMD, HTC Sports Pvt. Ltd, Dr. K. N. Chaturvedi – Legislative Drafting Expert, Dr. Amaresh Kumar – Academic Lawyer, Supreme Court of India; Member, International Sports Lawyers Association, Zurich, Sandeep Jindal – Advocate, Supreme Court, Anish Dayal – Supreme Court, Amit Saxena – Advocate, Delhi High Court, G. K. Sharma – District and Sessions Judge (Retd) and others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
