Project 39A at the National Law University Delhi (NLUD), in collaboration with the Indian Police Foundation (IPF), recently hosted a seminar on "Disclosure and the Right to Fair Trial: An Expert Dialogue" on September 5.
The seminar brought together defence counsel, police officials, prosecutors, judges, forensic experts and academicians to facilitate dialogue on the issue of disclosure of evidence vis-à-vis the Constitutional right to a fair trial, the existing gaps within the system and possible avenues of reform.
Project 39A also entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Police Foundation (IPF) and the Uttar Pradesh State Institute of Forensic Science (UPSIFS) on the same date.
Both partnerships are built on a shared, pro-bono commitment to research, capacity-building, professional training and policy engagement, bringing together the worlds of law and forensic science, in furtherance of the constitutional vision embodied in Article 39A.
According to a press release, the collaboration will pave the way for joint research and publications, certificate programmes and specialised training courses and academic exchange between the two institutions.
