Examined on Drafting — no single governing enactment, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005, Consumer Protection Act 2019, Constitution of India, Articles 32, 226 and 227. This is a skills paper: each document is taught with the law that governs it and a complete model draft. Parties in every model are fictional, and anything that depends on local rules or current notifications — court fees, stamp duty, Gazette procedure, prescribed forms — is left in [brackets] for you to fill from the current rule.
