New Civil Judges in training

GANGTOK , 29 Nov [IPR]: The first Institutional Training for the newly appointed Civil Judges-cum-Judicial Magistrates that begun on 01 November concluded on the 29^th at the State Judicial Academy in the Sikkim High Court complex. The Civil Judges-cum-Judicial Magistrates will now be proceeding for the second round practical training at the District and Sessions Court at Gangtok. This, instead of their original postings, as the nature and number of cases in the East district is much larger in comparison to the other districts and hence, would provide an effective learning experience for the new appointees.

The valedictory ceremony on 29 Nov was chaired by Chief Justice SK Sinha and retired Judge AP Subba.

In his address, Justice Sinha informed that the training module for the new Judges was “carefully prepared” on 52 topics relating to Judicial Curriculum. He also lauded the efforts of the State Judicial Academy in providing the best resource persons and ample opportunities in gaining first-hand experience and knowledge.

Justice Sinha felicitated the new Civil Judges Jwala D Thapa, Bebika Chettri and Ranjita Pradhan and also presented them copies of “Law’s Clarion Call”, a book authored by District & Sessions Judge Prajwal Khatiwada, and “Do’s and Don’ts Manual on Judicial Ethics, Values and Conduct”.
