Moot Proposition and Rulebook
The moot proposition focuses on Criminal Law and Constitutional Law. Participants should read the proposition carefully before beginning their research because the facts and issues in the proposition determine the scope of arguments that can be raised.
The official moot proposition contains the problem that participating teams are required to research and argue.
Teams should also read the official rulebook before registering. The rulebook should be treated as the primary source for detailed competition requirements, including team participation, memorial submission, and other procedural rules.
Reading the rulebook early can help teams avoid mistakes later. It also gives researchers and speakers a clearer idea of the competition timeline.

The competition offers several awards for teams and individual participants.
The winning team will receive a cash prize of ₹31,000, along with a trophy and three one-year complimentary SCC Online Web Edition subscriptions stated to be worth ₹72,000 in total. The runner-up team will receive ₹11,000, a trophy, and a certificate.
