JAMMU, Oct 20: The Police Technical Training Institute (PTTI) in Vijaypur organized a Moot Court Mock Drill under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) cases, aimed at familiarizing police personnel with the process of appearing and deposing their statements as prosecution witnesses in front of the Courts. This significant event took place at the newly established Moot Court at PTTI Vijaypur, under the supervision of Shri Haseeb-Ur-Rehman, an IPS officer and DIG SIU Jammu Zone, who is designated as the Nodal Officer for Jammu Zone by the PHQ-J&K for organizing Moot Court Proceedings for prosecution witnesses.
During the event, a mock drill was conducted based on a UAPA case from District Kathua. Police witnesses involved in this case appeared before the Moot Court and were cross-examined by designated defense counsel. Prior to the mock drill, Shiv Kumar, an IPS officer and the Principal of PTTI Vijaypur, extended a warm welcome to DIG SIU Jammu Zone and various Investigating officers from different districts.
DIG SIU Jammu Zone commended the efforts of the PTTI Vijaypur in swiftly establishing the moot court in the institute and expressed optimism that the moot court trials would be invaluable in helping trainees and police personnel gain a better understanding of court proceedings.
