Case studies are very scoring and should be answered very carefully..

Format Given above by miss khushboo is appropriate n agree with it..

I am sorry but Ms Khushboo I have quite a different opinion. I think case studies are given in the question just to test whether our knowledge is updated with the new legal precedents arising in the day to day fields of DT and IDT. Because if they only want to test our conceptual knowledge then they could have given some other concept which might not even at all be related to any recent pronounced judgement. So that is why in these cases first & foremost priority should be given to the name of the case law and facts of the case could be stated afterwards. This impresses the examiner and even if you have made some mistakes or your language of explaning the facts of the case law is not good, the examiner will not pay much attention to it and give you good marks then also, because he knows that you are aware of the recent judgement, so you know what you are writing about and hence he can trust your knowledge for it.

So accordingly following should be the format of the answer:

(a) You conclusion (a yes or no) in a one line statement.

(b) Thereafter you mention that a similar recent judgement also upheld your opinion and give the name of the Case Law (i.e. the name of the company or individual to whom such judgement was pronounced) and the court or authority where sich judgement was pronounced.

(c) Then you give the facts of the case law and then write how these facts are similar to the current issue given in the question.

(d) Then you again write that due to such & such above mentioned reasons your conclusion is such & such to the current case.

Thanks
