JU Law School Students Gain Practical Insights at Model Police Station
Gandhinagar

In an initiative to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical
application, the 5th-semester students of The Law School undertook an
educational visit to the Model Police Station Gandhinagar, Jammu. The
students received comprehensive insights into the daily operations of a police
station, the procedural intricacies of criminal investigations, and the pivotal
role of technology through the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network &
Systems (CCTNS). A dedicated session was also conducted on the
substantial changes and implications introduced by the new criminal laws,
especially BNSS & BSA, providing the students with a forward-looking
perspective on the legal framework.
The highlight of the visit was an enlightening and motivational interaction
with Dr. Ajay Sharma, Superintendent of Police (SP), South Jammu. In his
address, Dr. Sharma eloquently elaborated on the critical distinction between
‘law’ and ‘justice’, urging the students to internalize this difference as future
pillars of the legal system. He emphasized upon the transformative role
young, ethically grounded lawyers can play in strengthening the criminal
justice system, encouraging them to be agents of fair play and reform. His
interaction was notably augmented by SDPO South, Kuljeet Singh, who
supplemented the discussion with valuable operational insights and field
experiences.
The visit was held under the guidance of Prof. Seema Rohmetra, Director,
The Law School, and meticulosly corrdinated by Dr. Monica Narang,
Associate Professor,The Law School, in collaboration with Shri Jaipaul
Sharma, SHO Gandhinagar, Jammu.The success of the program was further
bolstered by the active involvement of police personnel who facilitated the
sessions, including Sub-Inspector Asma, Abhayveer Kotwal, Mohd. Ilyas, and
ASI Taj Din. Their willingness to demonstrate procedures and engage with the
students added immense practical value to the experience. Faculty members
who coordinated and assisted for the visit includes Dr. Upasana Sharma, Dr.
Ramesh Kumar, and Dr. Nitan Sharma.
