Fernandes, the Dean of Studies introduced the speaker. Honorable Justice
Michael D’ Cunha spoke on the richness of the Indian Legal System. He said
though many a times it appears that justice is delayed, yet the Legal system
takes greater care that no innocent person is condemned. ‘No one should be
condemned unheard’ is one of the important principles of Indian Legal System
as well as the basic principle of natural justice. There were two sessions
of one hour each and an hour was set aside for clarifications and doubts.
Many religious brothers and sisters from and around Kengeri took an active
