Symbiosis Pune’s team consisted of speakers Sreeparna Basak and Ruplai Bansal and researcher Soumya Devraj.

“It was a good mooting experience. The problem was a complex one, with a lot of scope for learning the practical aspects of the continuously evolving legal framework”, said Devraj. “NLU-O and GNLU were the best opponents we had to face. The judges were good; we were asked very pertinent questions, though the judges for the prelims and the semis could have been better.”

With this win Symbiosis added 15 points and rose to 10th place in the fourth year of the Mooting Premier League (MPL), sponsored by Herbert Smith Freehills, to pull ahead of Nalsar Hyderabad, which won the first two seasons of the MPL.

GNLU earned 10 points and rose to 8^th place ahead of RMLNLU.

International law firm Herbert Smith is sponsoring the Mooting Premier League (MPL) and will contribute a prize pool of Rs 60,000 for the top three winning colleges.
