INTRODUCTION

I R.FAHEEM ABDUL WAHAB Reg: no: BA 0130020, 5th year, BALLB( Hon) Tamil
Nadu National Law school, Thirichirapalli, Submit the internship dairy for the year 2015 -
2016-

On my request to undergo internship programme in T.S Gopalan & CO. got permission from
the authority. Also the same was approved by the Tamilnadu National Law School, Tiruchy.

STUDY ON THE FIRM

My internship experience at T S Gopalan & Co, one of the leading law firm handling labour
and civil lawswas just satisfactory.
I interned under an Advocate who is one among the five partners of the firm. I got into the
firm through a reference and the firm also takes people for internship only through reference
or contacts.

If you happened to know any of the partners of the firm through any of your friends or
relatives, all you have to do is to call them and ask for internship.

Based on availability, you will be provided internship. When I contacted them through phone,
I was asked to forward my resume to their mail id and after that I met them personally and
joined for the internship program.

They were sweet & did not ask much of questions and simply asked about the institution
where I study, about the timings of internship.

The timings of the internship was also flexible and if you are a college goer, timings will
be adjusted according to it or if you come from a different place, you can even work there for
full time based on your convenience.
The interns were given an option of working during Saturdays or not.

Nature of work
For few weeks, I accompanied them to the court halls and I was asked to observe the court
proceedings.

There was not much of work given to me other than checking for item numbers and calling
them up before their case comes for hearing.

After observing the court proceedings, I was asked to come to their office for working. The
work which was given to me mainly consisted of legal research.

2
I was asked to write articles based on various legal concepts, frame FAQs based on various
legislation, read judgments and make a brief note about it.

Favourable and Unfavourable terms of internship

Now I would like to mention about the good things about the office initially. The office
has very good infrastructure, The interiors were all good and elegant making it a friendly
environment to work with.
There were separate cabins for each partner, a big conference hall, a waiting hall and a place
for accommodating other associates and interns.

Based on the availability of system, interns will be allotted system or laptop to work with. I
was given a laptop to work with, in a comfortable place. I was asked to prepare a folder for
myself and store all the works done by me in the particular folder. The office has huge
collection of legal material.

It has good collection of books like SCC, Various legal magazines, all kinds of journals,
manuals, bare Acts and textbooks.
They also had access to online legal sites like SCC online. My internship gave me the
opportunity of going through various journals and read various judgments.

The Associates of the office were very friendly and easy to approach. When the advocates are
busy with their works, you can also ask for work from the Associates.

Most of the Associates were my my college alumni and therefore they were very friendly and
I had opportunity to interact with them about the kind of work and exposure. Since there were
no other interns during the period when I interned, I was also to interact only with the
Associates and lawyers who worked in the firm.

Even the Advocate with whom I interned was ‘down-to-earth’ and friendly. The Associates
would give me works like preparing cause list, dockets, sending mails to clients etc. I was
free to leave the office once I’m done with my work after informing the Advocate.
Another good thing about the office was that I was given coffee and snacks everyday during
evening time. Food will also be available sometimes.
Other than that, there were also restaurants near by and places to hang out and finding a PG
near by wouldn’t be a difficult task. Since the office is situated in the main road, it is very
easily accessible by any means.

As I reside very near the firm, I was even more comfortable interning there. I had exposure to
talk with various clients who also included big shots and management of big corporate.

There were cake cuttings done during the birthdays of people who work in the firm. The
birthdays of two associates fell during the period of my internship and I had so much fun.
Bad things
Now coming to the negative side, the work which was given mainly consisted of legal
research alone.Drafting was never given either to interns or to associates.
Every time, I had to go and ask them for any works to be done and the works which were
given was also repetitive, clerical and frustrating. The folder which was created by me for
storing my works was not checked by them to suggest any improvements.

3
Even in the court halls, I was not explained by any procedure and was asked merely to
observe the proceedings which I would say would not serve any purpose. I was not taught of
anything and only when I take my own initiative and raise doubts, I was able to learn a little.
To conclude, I would say that this place is suitable for people who area of interest is labour
law and who wanted to practise in labour law and related field. If you are a person who wants
to explore and learn things out of your internship, this is not your ‘cup of tea’.

This place is apt for people who would patiently do all kind of office works and feeling
contended with it.

inspector that the neighbor was the one who injured her due to previous enemity. She also told

that he attacked her with a billhook. The case registered under the section 354(b), 324 and 307

they were in possession of 20 liters of I.D arrack. The petitioner states that he is innocent and

that he will obey to any orders/ conditions given by the court. So the petitioners requests for

bail.

From what I have learned is that usually they come to a mutual understanding and then they fix

a date. So the accused must be in jail for certain days, then he will be released.

Day 10- 5th June 2015

the public prosecutor told that he would give me different kind of cases everyday from the bail

petition he deals with so that I could learn new sections.

The police registered a fir against the accused under the section 379 and 21(1) of mines and

minerals ( development and regulations) act, 1957.

conducted a inspection at dhanda four roads near the petrol bunk. During the inspection the

police found out that the accused was illegally transporting sand from mettur worth 3000 rs.

The accused also absconded the vehicle. So the police registered a FIR under the above the

sections. So they applied for anticipatory bail petition.

Day 11- 6th June 2015

Today we dealt with a different kind of bail petition in which the accused failed to comply with

conditions and then he re applied for extension of time for fulfilling the conditions of the bail.

granting the bail. The petitioner states that he was afraid of the police and went to theni there

got sick with jaundice so he wasn’t able to move from that place. As undergoing treatment the

doctor told him to not to travel. He delayed to fulfill the condition of producing the sureties by

305 days. So this above petition is to state the reason for the delay of the petitioner to fulfill

the condition.

chinnakannu v. sub inspector of police ( C.M.P.No: 4397/ 2016)

This petition is to file again for the extension of time to produce the sureties, as there was a

complainant thathapan had one and half acre of agricultural land. Athanurpatti pandyan bought

10 acres of the adjoining land. As there was no way for those 10 acres he asked for the

complainants half an acre. The complainant refused to give so the accused threatened him also

on 16.12.16 the accused and his people build a hut in his land and snatched the Rs. 10,000

8
which he had for buying pipes. So now the petitioner seeks for bail and also states that it is a

false accusation.

15.12.2016. in the their modified bail petition they want ration card and voter I.D as their

sureties. But the judicial magistriate-2 insisted to submit solvency certificates. They plead that

the lengthy proceedings and inability to obtain sureties and expensive in nature. So they ask for

modification.

Day 14- 9th June

As there is no court we had discussion regarding a revision petition filed by the public

prosecutor. in the below mentioned case the judge has passed an order for an interim petition

filed by the accused , so the prosecutor has filed a revision petition stating that the order passed

by the judge is wrong and to reverse the judgment.

After filing the revision petition the court has sent notice to the respondent/ petitioner stating

that they must be present before the court on 6/01/2017 and if they fail to do so then the

judgment would be given in favour of the revision petitioner.

Case name: forest range officer v. k.balasubramanian

Fact: on 17.5.2015 at 3 P.M the respondent’s son karthikeyan was carrying 11.200 kg

sandalwood in the respondent’s car bearing reg.no. TN 37 BF 9615 illegally from the

reserved forest and the revision petitioner caught hold of the vehicle in the yercaud check

post and confiscated the vehicle under section 49 (b) of the Tamil Nadu forest act. The

criminal proceeding is pending. The respondent filed for a interim petition to get the custody

9
 of the vehicle and the learned judicial magistrate No.VI Salem passed in favour of the

respondent. So the revision petition was filed to get the custody of the vehicle.

The points to argue for the revision petitioner are as follows:

 It is contrary to the well-established law and facts besides illegal.

 The learned judicial magistrate failed to understand to the tenor section 451 of Cr.p.c

and concluded as if the vehicle could be ordered to be released on terms. But as it

transported illegally it should not be released in the interest of justice.

 The vehicle in the accused name but based on the fact the father of the accused is the

owner of the vehicle.

 Also that this order is contrary to the judgment reported in AIR 2002 SC 221, AIR

2000 SC 2729, wherein it is uniformly decided that the vehicle used for illegal

transportation from the reserved forest shall not be ordered to be released.

 The lower court also failed to see that the if the interim custody is granted then the he

would sell or alter the vehicle and the police would not be able to prove the

prosecution case.

Day 15- 10th June

Today was the discussion regarding the cancellation of bail petition

A short brief about this case is that the petitioner/accused were in possession of a land in

ayothiapattanam when the informant filed a suit for injunction and said that the property was

his. The 2nd additional munsif favored the informant then it is overturned by the 2nd additional

subordinate judge then again it was over turned in favor of the informant by the high court. In

order to get the possession of the property the informant he bought materials build fences and

10
the petitioner with the help of others stooped the informant with the help of police. The

informant filed a FIR stating they damaged the crops under the section 379 of IPC.

under the section 379 of IPC. The accused filed for AB on 1.8.2015 and they got it (C.M.P.No:

2411/2015) now the petitioner files a petition for cancellation of bail after 1 year by using the

following arguments.

 The respondents did not comply with the conditions imposed by the honorable court

and also the 1st accused tries to tamper the witness and continuously giving life threat

to the de facto complainant.

 The respondents threatened him.

 The respondents would disturb public peace.

Day 16- 11th June

The additional session judge heard only the bail petitions.

suspicious death. On 4.11.2016 the new police officer found out that one thangamany (a3) had

11
illicit relationship with the complainant and that he has murdered the deceased. So the

Case name: archunan v. inspector of police (cr.no.725/2016)

The petitioner was remanded to judicial custody for the offence u/s 4(1) (a) 4(1-A) TNP act on

Went home at 6 pm.

Day 22- 17th June

Went office at 10:45 and sir told me to go through the chemical safety legislation and note
down the that point. Following are the different chemical safety legislation.

(1) As a father and a legislator, I am committed to better protecting

children and families in Massachusetts from the toxic chemicals in
every day products, from cleaners to non-stick cookware to cosmetics,”
said Representative Jay Kaufman (D-Lexington), lead sponsor of the
Safer Alternatives bill filed this week. “We must break the cycle of
preventable disease that starts with exposure to chemicals that can
cause cancer, birth defects and reproductive disorders.”

(2) “Dozens of states around the country are coming together to update
our chemical safety laws so that hazardous chemicals are replaced with
safer alternatives,” said Senator Steven Tolman (D-Brighton),
introducing the TSCA resolution and Senate lead sponsor of the Safer
Alternatives bill. “If Congress is not going to act quickly enough to
protect families in Massachusetts, we’re going to move forward at the
state level.”

15
(3) “Top scientists across the country are calling for reforms to our
outdated chemical safety laws,” said Senator Jamie Eldridge (D-
Acton). “Something is drastically wrong when newborns come into our
world carrying a burden of synthetic chemicals that can result in
diseases like cancer, sometimes decades later.”

(4) "As the burden of chronic diseases linked to hazardous chemicals like
cancer and learning disabilities mounts up, we are demanding
leadership from officials at all levels of government,” said Elizabeth
Saunders, Clean Water Action Legislative Director. “Toxic chemicals
such as cadmium and BPA simply do not belong in every day products
in our homes and workplaces, and our families are paying too high a
price.”

(5) “The bottom line: safer chemicals in the workplace mean healthier
workers,” said Tolle Graham, spokesperson for Massachusetts
Coalition on Occupational Safety and Health. “As we struggle to
provide healthcare for Massachusetts families, updating our chemical
safety laws is simply common sense.”

(6) "A substantial body of scientific research shows that the public is
exposed to chemicals that increase the risk of serious health threats,
including cancer, asthma, infertility, and learning and developmental
disabilities," said Dr. Ted Schettler, MD, MPH, Science Director of the
Science and Environmental Health Network. "For most chemicals, no
government agency has the authority to require safety testing before
they are put into widespread use. It's an uncontrolled experiment, and
individuals and families across the country are paying the price."

16
 Day 23- 18th June

At this day I reached office at 10.30 today sir told me to go through the environment, safety
and health policy adopted by ZCL.following are the the policy used by ZCL.

At ZCL Chemicals, We aim to use natural resources efficiently and minimize the environmental
impacts of our activities and products during their life cycles.

We manage our environment, health and safety issues using a management system aligned with
recognized management system standards such as ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.

Our management system is based on a structured framework that starts with a policy. The policy is
supported by standards, guidance materials, tools, training, recognition and audits that assist the
business to manage environment, health, and safety at the sites throughout key business operations.
Systematic audits assess sites’ adoption of a management systems

approach to manage their risks.

We are committed to providing safe workplaces in our company, associates and third-party personnel.
Our impressive safety performance owes as much to management attention and well-trained employees
as to elaborately engineered systems. Indeed, safety culture and behavior-based safety programs are
increasingly seen as key to the continued improvement of occupational health and safety over the
coming years.

EHS Policy

ZCL believes that sustainable development, in any environment, has to be a participatory process, with the
local population being the biggest stakeholder. We work closely with the local community to keep the air,
water and land both safe and healthy. We take active interest in the well-being of the local community and
continue to make a valuable difference. Voluntary community work and monetary support are part of our
corporate culture. We play a proactive role in minimizing pollution across the industry. Our EHS policy is
mentored by EHS organization. In our journey towards sustainability, the EHS team sets goals and
