Bhopal: The NLIU protests have turned from a face-off to a headbutt. NLIU administration stunned the protesting students on Sunday by cancelling India's biggest International Law School Mediation Tournament, which was scheduled to be held from November 17. Students answered by declaring that they will organize the competition outside campus, on the same dates. This is the sixth edition of competition.The notification issued by the NLIU management on Sunday said that an international conference on intellectual property rights law and policy, which was to be organized from November 26, has been also cancelled.Students told TOI that the director, Prof S S Singh, has "arbitrarily held an entire tournament hostage to secure his despotic reign". "This is a blatant attempt to coerce students into calling off our peaceful protest. It's highly uncalled for, considering that months of hard work has gone into planning the event and securing lakhs of rupees from sponsors, a large part of which has already been spent. The director is in control of the rest of the money," said protesting students.Students vowed to ensure that there isn't a break in the annual competition. "The tournament will take place as per schedule outside the NLIU premises and without the affiliation of the university, due to the commendable efforts of the NLIU Alternative Dispute Resolution Cell (ADRC)," said a group of students.Students also said that the association with Peacekeeping and Conflict Resolution Team (PACT) continues to stand with ADRC. "Due to the overwhelming support and unity of students, the tournament will now be called NLIU Speaks presents INADR International Law School Mediation Tournament," said students.Each participating team will have three members. The prelim comprises three rounds of mediation where each member of the team has to play the role of client, counsel and mediator. The top four client-counsel teams and top four mediators from the prelims shall face each other in two concurrent grand finals.
