THE 1st NATIONAL VIRTUAL MOOT COURT COMPETITION, 2024
1. The Republic of Parlemento is the largest democracy in the world with a population of around 140 crores.
2. The Republic of Parlemento consists of people from different strata of the society, people from different religions, people from different educational and financial backgrounds, etc. The Republic of Parlemento is thus, a secular, socialist, economic and a democratic nation.
3. In the International Nation’s Organisation, almost all the countries of the world are member nations and the Republic of Parlemento in recent times has gained public popularity in the said organisation, thereby boosting the economy and the image of the country, on an international platform.
4. During 2020, the entire world was affected by Covid-19 pandemic and during the said period digital transactions increased manifold. Digital assets have been on the rise in the recent times.
5.The Republic of Parlemento did not enact any law to legalise the framework of digital assets, digital currency, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) etc. An attempt to ban these form of digital currency or assets was set aside by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of the Republic of Parlemento. While the Government continues to contemplate its stance on cryptocurrencies and NFTs, it has, in the interim, implemented a new tax regime aimed at taxing gains and, or, income from virtual digital assets @ 30%.
6. That the citizens of the nation were perplexed as to when there is no law legalizing the digital currency, digital assets, NFTs etc., the decision to tax gains from the same is unreasonable.
7. Thereafter, various citizens filed SLPs before the Hon’ble Supreme Court challenging the insertion of the new S. 115 BBH in the Income Tax Act. The Hon’ble Supreme Court posted the said challenge to the aforementioned section for final hearing on the issues raised hereunder:
a. Whether or not the Government is justified in taxing digital currency, digital assets, NFTs etc., which is not legalized?
b. Whether or not S.115BBH Income Tax Act is violative of the Constitution of India?
8. The laws of Republic of Parlemento are in pari materia with that of the Union of India.
