School of Law, SASTRA Deemed University is organising 19th Nani Palkhivala Memorial National Tax Moot Court Competition, 2024 on 23-24 March.
About the Organisation
Started in the year 2008, School of Law, SASTRA University aims to provide students’ diverse knowledge in the fields of Social Studies, Business and Economics integrated with legal education. The University has prepared several legal professionals who play a decisive and critical leadership role in meeting various challenges. They do so not only as advocates practicing in courts, but also as judges, policy makers, public officials and civil society activists as well as corporate legal consultants in the private sector.
About the Competition
Mr. Nani Palkhivala was a multi-faceted personality-a lawyer par excellence, philanthropist, diplomat, author, and a pioneer in the field of law. His authorship series, “Law and Practice of Income Tax” as well as commentaries on the same have since set the benchmark in taxation and is still the guidebook for all tax enthusiasts in the country. Hailed as the “Gift of God to modern India” by Shri. Rajaji, Palkhivala was the epitome of persuasion, precision of argument, in depth understanding of law as well as analytical, strategic, charismatic, and successful advocacy.
There can be no better way of sustaining the memory of perhaps India’s most extraordinary advocate than by instituting an annual tax moot court competition in his name. The Nani Palkhivala Memorial National Tax Moot Court Competition hosted by School of Law, SASTRA Deemed University is a tribute to this great man.
