It advance pushed that the examination conducted by the SIT, which was constituted by the Court in December 2023, ought to not be kept to the lower-level authorities to secure higher officers. “We rush to include that the Punjab Police is one of the best police constrain in the Nation but it needs to be protects from unessential impact.

The Court opined the arraignment charges against the cleric, Father Babu Varghese, were well made out prima facie. The Kerala high Court as of late denied to subdue the procedures in a assault case against a cleric in any case of the settlement between him and the survivor [Fr. Babu Varghese v. State of Kerala & Anr.]. Justice A Badharudeen said that indeed in spite of the fact that the high Court is engaged to work out its locale beneath Segment 482 of the Code of Criminal Method (CrPC) to subdue procedures indeed in non-compoundable cases such as assault, it should to consider whether the offense is shocking or has an affect over the society. "In cases of genuine nature which influences the society at expansive, this Court ought to not work out its purview beneath Segment 482 CrPC for suppress the procedures on the premise of compromise executed between the parties," the Court made it clear. In this case, the Court opined that the arraignment charges against the cleric, Father Babu Varghese, were prima facie well made out. Therefore, it considered it inappropriate to subdue the procedures against him just since the matter had been settled with the survivor. The affirmation against Fr. Varghese was that he attempted to mediate in conjugal debate between the survivor and her spouse to settle the same, but in reality made it worse. Subsequently, he purportedly mightily entered the house of the survivor and assaulted her He was, hence, booked for committing offenses culpable beneath Segments 450 (house-trespass to commit an offense that can be rebuffed with life detainment) and 376 (assault) of the Indian Corrective Code (IPC). Fr. Varghese moved the Tall Court to subdue the procedures against him contending that the charges are wrong and that he had arrived at a settlement with the survivor However, the Court said that a case of this nature cannot be suppressed only on the ground of settlement and, hence, rejected the appeal.
Recently in a strange but widely publicized Allahabad High Court case the cheating case filed by the complainant revolved around a very unorthodox complaint. The case stemmed from accusations that the complainant was defrauded by a man who presented himself as one who can pay dearly with the dead and arrange for the complainant’s father to do so. This is the case that was filed under Section 420 of the IPC, which focuses on cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property was dismissed without merits due to the absence of any tangible evidence for criminal intention or wrongful enrichment. The historical background of the case traces its roots back to a scenario that is considered to be tragic, and the fact that the alleged perpetrator approached the complainant just moments after the later had lost his father. In this regard, the accused supposedly promised the complainant that he was able to communicate with the spirit world with a particular focus on the complainant’s deceased father. Based on the testimony of the accused as well as the record, the complainant allegedly believed the testimonies that the accused made, where he reportedly paid a huge amount of money to avail of the services under dispute. But when there was perceived lack of contact with the deceased father, the complainant felt that he was cheated and later reported the man for cheating. Allahabad High Court while hearing the facts of the case looked into the allegations closely and the facts given. The court observed that the ingredients needed to frame a charge of cheating under section 420 IPC are deception and dishonest intention and thereby obtaining anything of value. Furthermore, the accused’s goal must be a purposeful aim to swindle the victim from the very beginning. However, in this particular case, the complainant was awarded the case because his belief in the accused’s powers was supernatural not founded on any factual or legally admissible standard. The defendant, therefore, used the accused’s purported ability to communicate with the dead to forge documents even though it was not an offense as defined in the IPC, it could not be proven or disproved in the court. It also noted that as far as force was concerned, force that drove the complainant to part with money was the personal belief he had. Since the provincial authorities and the Allahabad High Court found no proof of the accused’s criminal intention to cheat or of having dishonestly led the complainant, the case had to be dismissed. The court’s decision to dismiss the case also supports the necessity of comprehensive gathering substantive and credible evidence in criminal cases, especially in cases where there is no evidence as personal testimony that can be considered as evidence in a court of law, especially in cases that deal with claims that are considered paranormal.
The subsequent case is based on the Sanatan Dharma related controversy of a statement made by the leader and Self-Financed Party-member Udhayanidhi Stalin on the 15th August 2024 that has sparked legal, political and social activism discussion across India. The minister in the Tamil Nadu state government and son of the incumbent CM M. K. Stalin, Udhayanidhi Stalin when addressing at an event used the most vicious form of slurs and categorised Sanatan Dharma like diseases which should be eliminated in the same way as dengue and malaria. Such comments were dubbed as unlawful and he was prosecuted for it; each of the Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh courts registered FIRs against him. That brings the legal question in its nutshell, as to what extent free speech is protected, particularly when it offends religious values. The Indian Constitution under the free speech and expression preview of right to freedom under article 19(1)(a). However, this right is not unrestricted and is thus proclaimed with reference to Article 19(2) that allows restrictions on grounds of public order, decency, morality, and contempt of any court, among others. Interpreting of Stalin’s comments has been seen as hate speech, possibly falling under section 295 A of the IPC which prohibits any “deliberate and malicious act intended to outrage the religious feelings of any class.” Registration of FIRs under this section shows how sensitive the given remarks are in a country where religion is tantamount to personal and community identity. Another dimension of the conflict has emerged in the political one. The remarks were made in the context of the 2024 general elections and any political party from the left has either condemned Kiplagat’s statement as a form of hate speech or defended it depending on which side of the political divide one belongs to. In this context, the BJP and other affiliated organizations have jumped into the issue and painted it to be another assault on Hinduism and called for a stringent action against Stalin. On the other hand, the DMK, to which Stalin belongs, has supported his freedom of speech, and insisted on the remarks referring to what they consider as some unpleasant features of Sanatan Dharma. The row gives focus to the existing issue in India of free speech which is being on an ongoing discussion about freedoms and how they are limited which includes that relating to religious freedom. Concerning the legal cases to be brought against Stalin, the decisions could influence future experiences of India in a great way. It also has implication on roles of political leaders in a culturally diverse and religious society as well as impact of such rhetoric in a society. The case will be followed further, not only for legal trials but also their civic influence on the polity of India, especially in the election year.
Recently, the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) have ordered Fortis Hospital of Bengaluru and one of its doctors to pay ₹ 65 lakh for medical negligence and raise questions over medical practitioners’ ethical and professional duties of care. The case focuses on an “unwanted” surgery that was conducted on a patient hence causing profound harm and impairment and the patient’s death. The case started with a patient being admitted in a Fortis Hospital in Bengaluru for treatment of a health complication that was initially not life-threatening. This was after the attending doctor told the family to have the patient operated on insisting that it was the only solution for the A patient’s ailment. However, after the surgery, the patient is faced with some problems which are not only unimaginable but horrifying as they are deadly. The patient later on developed these complications which the family claimed that the surgery was unwarranted and therefore the hospital and the doctor, were negligent in offering their services. The family of the patient lodged a complaint to the NCDRC on grounds of negligence against the hospital and the doctor. They claimed that evaluation was not conducted appropriately before the surgery was performed and that there were other ways to treat the patient. The family additionally claimed that the doctor had never discussed all the possible complications bound to occur after the surgery and more importantly they had not been offered adequate options. The NCDRC after having studied the matter and the arguments put forward by the family Side agree with it. They described the surgery as avoidable and, which was conducted without informed consent from either the patient or their family. The NCDRC pointed that both the doctor and the hospital did not follow the conduct that would be expected at this juncture and that the patient died. The commission pointed out that the surgery was not required, and the condition of the patient should have been managed with less radical procedures. The judgment made some observations where the court stated that the patient and their family were not properly informed about the risks and the other available options that could be taken instead of having the surgery also the NCDRC noted that the hospital complained that the patient was not getting proper medication and poor post operative care which have led to worsening of the patient’s condition.
In a recent verdict, Delhi High Court said that the charge of penetrative sexual assault under the new Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act can be meted out to females also. Engaging in intercourse without a girl’s consent constitutes rape under the POCSO Act, and this ruling expands the definition of accountability under this legislation, which is intended to shield children from sexually related offences. The case was a complain one in which the accused was a woman who was presented in court for the rape of a girl. Specifically, the POCSO Act which was passed in 2012 has been mainly used against male persons. This type of legislation enumeratively lists different types of crime against children as penetrative Bury sexual assault, aggravated Bury sexual assault and sexual harassment. As for the gender element, it is non-discriminative in the wording of the law but, in fact, it seems that female offenders constitute a very limited circle. On the same note, the prosecution accused the woman of compelling the minor girl to engage in sexual acts that fell under the description of penetrative sexual assault as provided for in the POCSO Act. The defense urged that the charge was meaningless in the case of women, which under the law’s common meaning only men are able to perpetrate such an offense. On the contrary, Delhi High Court delivered a different verdict in the case. The court, however, stated that it does not recognize distinction between the male and female offenders and that the law therefore to be applied depends on the type of offence committed and not the gender of the offender. While delivering the judgement the court gave a clear indication that the POCSO Act is a shield against child sexual abuse, and the provision of this protection should not be relative to the gender of the offender. The Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, who chaired the case noted that the Act being a protective statute is sensitive to the protection of the children against any sort of sexual vices has a nondescript nomenclature throughout the act or law protecting children from sexual offenses while also being gender neutral. The court prepared a message that said that the charges for penetrative sexual assault do belong to the accused woman; the law it is to protect children from all manner of offenders regardless of the gender of the latter. These observations are relevant to the future interpretation of the POCSO Act, of course. This will serve to re-affirm the law’s stance on the protection of children especially bearing in mind that any offender will not be in any position to avoid child vulnerability charges based on gender alone. The decision also concerns the increase in the understanding of sexual offenders, as the women can also become sexual offenders.
This has created a stir in the political circles and in a much-awaited order the Supreme court of India has set Manish Sisodia former Deputy chief minister of Delhi on bail. Sisodia was arrested by the CBI in several months ago in Delhi liquor policy scam case. The case has been more of a political issue of the move that revolve around claims that the Delhi government’s new newly formed liquor policy in the year 2021 was to enrich some private companies in the supply of alcoholic beverages at the expense of the public of Delhi. Law enforcing agencies suggested arresting Sisodia, the minister in charge of the excise department, and framing him for all these issues. The CBI and the ED had arrested Sisodia unveiling certain alleged modus operandi to provide several undue benefits to those in the business of liquor vend. The AAP, which is the party to which Sisodia belongs, rubbished the charges claiming political persecution. The Supreme Court, while analyzing the case and the facts presented in detail, agreed with Sisodia that the right to a speedy trial had been violated on grounds of his concomitant detention. The bench said it was free to proceed with the investigation, but there was no rationale to continue a prolonged incarceration of Sisodia. The bail order is welcome good news for Sisodia and his sympathisers. However, this looks more like a fight that has not ended yet as far as the legal way is concerned. CBI and ED are to go on their investigation further Sisodia again must appear before the court to face the charges framed against him. The case is expected to go on for several months if not years affecting both AAP and BJP greatly. The case revolves around accusations that the Delhi government’s new liquor policy, which was introduced in 2021, favored certain private entities in the distribution and sale of liquor in the city. The policy was part of the Delhi government's broader reforms aimed at overhauling the liquor trade in the capital, but it quickly became the center of controversy. Allegations surfaced that the policy led to substantial revenue losses for the state exchequer and that bribes were paid to government officials to secure favorable licenses. Manish Sisodia, as the head of the excise department, was at the forefront of the policy's creation and implementation. His role made him a focal point of the investigation, with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) probing the case. Sisodia was accused of being involved in the decision-making process that allegedly led to the preferential treatment of certain liquor vendors.
Visakha v. State of Rajasthan remains a landmark decision in Indian legal history that uniquely illustrates the plight of women in the workplace. The Supreme Court’s 1997 decision was a significant step in combating sexual harassment at work, an important issue that had been neglected in India for many years. Bhanwari Devi was a social activist in Rajasthan and was brutally attacked by mobs while trying to stop child marriages in her village. The local police and judiciary were not prepared to deal with such a serious crime. The trial court’s conviction of the accused raised public concern and brought national attention to the serious problem of harassment and violence against women in India. Outraged by the unfair treatment, a PIL was filed in the Supreme Court. The claim of the petitioners is that due to the absence of laws regulating harassment at the workplace, women workers are being deprived of their fundamental right to work with equality and dignity. There was a gap in the law regarding sexual harassment at the workplace and a historic step was taken by framing a set of guidelines known as the ‘Vishaka Principles’. These are detailed instructions in the form of codes of conduct that impose responsibility on all employers and managers of organisations to prevent and curb harassment at the office. It said that harassment at the workplace is a violation of fundamental rights under Articles 14, 15, 19 and 21 of the Constitution of India. The Grievance Committee ensures that all complaints are resolved promptly and confidentially. This process will remain in force until appropriate legislation is drafted. The responsibility to provide a safe work environment to women has been given administrative authority and thus established based on the Visakha scheme. Women are fighting for their rights and are on constant alert to create safe workplaces across the country.
The Kolkata rape-murder case has sent shockwaves across the city and the country for its sheer brutality. The victim, a woman in her twenties, was found dead in a thicket with her eyes, neck and face gouged out by what seemed like repeated stabs of such extreme ferocity that it betrayed a savagery that could only have been inflicted by someone who had intended to inflict maximum pain before killing her. The body was discovered in a state that left no one in doubt that before being killed, she had been sexually violated. The autopsy revealed the same facts with some horrid details. It was not long before it became clear that this was not an isolated crime and one recalled similar gory cases of rape-cum-murders in recent times involving victims who had been subjected to particularly sadistic forms of violence. The police placed top priority on identifying the doer as the investigation progressed. To this end, they started by having a close look at the crime scene to gather any clues that might help solve the mystery of who committed the offence. This spanned from forensic evidence as DNA samples to interviews with potential witnesses who might have seen or heard anything on the night of the crime. CCTV footage from surroundings was also checked by the police so as to detect any suspicious movements that may be related to an offence. The public’s response has been overwhelming. Protests and rallies have taken place throughout Kolkata, where supporters are demanding justice for the victim. The incident has quickly sparked a larger conversation throughout India about women’s safety and how to prevent these acts through legislation. Activists and citizens alike are demanding the harshest penalty possible for the perpetrator, hoping it will discourage would-be criminals from following in his steps. The loss of a member of the family victimized Splinter family and they did not let off the hook to the one who caused this predicament. Determinedly, they have cited their views on the current state of females’ securities in the country and advised that more steps should be taken by those in authority to protect such vulnerable people. The family’s grief becomes an echo to many making justice and reform a louder voice. This case has once again brought up the issue of violence against women in India, and how this country is less safe for women compared to some war-torn countries. This brutal incident was a harsh reminder of the perils that women here face, and why we need to confront this reality now.
Very recently, the Supreme Court of India took another gigantic step toward redressing the overcrowding and inhumane conditions within Indian prisons with its exercise to test the applicability of Section 479 of BNSS related to the release of first-time offenders. Of course, what the court essentially wants to know is whether or not the provision can apply retrospectively, begging critical questions: Why treat first-time offenders differentially who are already serving their sentences within the overcrowded prison facilities?. The Supreme Court was hearing a suo motu plea taken up to improve the deplorable condition of prisons around the country. This complaint is based on overcrowding; prisons hold far more prisoners than they can accommodate, resulting in poor living conditions. This situation is exacerbated by the presence of many first-time offenders who may not be particularly dangerous but languish in prison due to the lack of legal or judicial remedies. Section 479 of the BNSS is an amendment designed to ease the burden on prisons by allowing first-time offenders to be released under certain conditions. These laws promote non-supervised sentences such as probation or community service as alternatives to incarceration, particularly for felonies. The idea behind this is to reduce overcrowding in prisons and give first-time offenders a chance to rehabilitate without having to deal with the shame and pain of prison. If incarceration is reinstated, some first-time offenders currently in prison will be released due to prison overcrowding. This is in line with the law’s aim of providing restorative services without incarceration. The principle of retroactivity raises concerns about access to justice as it would change the legal rights of those who were convicted before the law was changed. Their decisions will significantly affect the field of law and the principles of equal justice and mercy. These penalties will set a precedent for future events and provide opportunities for first-time offenders in the future. This judgment is going to set a precedent for further cases and will provide a route for the approach of first-time offenders in times to come. With such a verdict in hand, the legal fraternity, activists working toward prison reforms, and even the general public are all holding their breaths and eagerly waiting as to how it can reshape justice and hence open up a more humane way toward incarceration.
The Supreme Court of India has expressed deep concern over the unregulated proliferation of medical institutes in this country and strongly underscored the need for stricter regulations with oversight. This observation from the apex court was made when it was hearing a matter where it directed the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to convene an online meeting with State authorities within two weeks to evolve a comprehensive roadmap for the implementation of the Act concerned governing medical education. The mushrooming of medical institutes has been a cause of concern for quite some time in India. The country has witnessed rapid growth in the number of medical colleges, both private and public. While expansion is speeding up to bridge the deficiency of medical professionals, it has also evinced a number of concerns regarding the quality of education and infrastructure, as well as the ethical standards of the institutions. The intervention of the Supreme Court shows a balanced approach, thus ensuring that there is availability of quality medical education and, at the same time, preventing the mushrooming of substandard institutions. The court ruling by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is a significant step towards resolving these issues. Call for a concerted effort to build a strong executive power and virtual hearings chaired by the Supreme Court. This approach should provide measures to ensure that medical facilities comply with the highest academic, engineering and ethical standards. Adherence to the above standard is the way forward and the only way to protect the interests of students, patients and general medical services. National healthcare standards for quality medical education. The court noted that even if medical facilities must be increased to meet the needs of doctors, there should be no fee for completing the training. If medical schools continue to train poor doctors, the production of poor doctors poses a serious risk to public health. The court’s concern is not exhaustive. Reports of a dearth of medical colleges, teachers and medical knowledge are emerging across the country. Their illegal development also raises larger questions about the role of regulatory bodies in approving and ensuring compliance with established standards. The Supreme Court has asked the central and state governments to ensure that there are strict rules for setting up and functioning of hospitals and the same applies to hospitals. Industry participants are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the conference. The approach developed through this partnership will be instrumental in ensuring excellence and ethics in the future of medical education in India. The Supreme Court's intervention is, therefore, a significant step towards preserving the sanctity of India's welfare system.
The Bombay High Court, in a current judgment, slapped a fine of ₹10,000 on a petitioner who had filed a PIL concerning the establishment of a "Sanatan Commission" and State investment for Hindu rituals. The bench composed of Justices Sunil B. Shukre and Firdosh P. Pooniwalla brushed off the PIL as absolutely frivolous and thoroughly baseless, with out a merits in any respect, by manner of a misuse technique. He said that, being a social activist, he found that the Hindu network become being discriminated in opposition to on diverse fronts and there was a dire need to constitute a Sanatan Commission for the protection and advertising of Hindu values and traditions. He additionally pleaded for country investment to the Hindu non secular activities, alleging that the authorities become investment different religions. However, the Court found that there has been no merit inside the arguments advanced. It turned into observed that issues projected within the PIL were the creation of the fertile creativeness of the petitioner and had no significant criminal or real basis to again them. The Court has talked about that the Constitution of India guarantees freedom of religion to all people, treating every religion without choose or discrimination by using the State. It is likewise introduced to the forefront that the petitioner, in his PIL, didn't point out any single reality suggesting that Hindu rituals and traditions had been being ignored or discriminated against. Quoting one of the judgements, the Bench stated it was worried approximately the increasing tendency to file PILs on gratuitous grounds, which, apart from causing loss of valuable judicial time, tended to undermine the real reason of the PIL, intended for redressing problems of public interest and social justice. The Court's selection to impose costs at the petitioner is a hazard to different folks who may think of drawing close the Court underneath comparable frivolous topics. In succinct terms, the Court reiterated that the Judiciary become now not going to be manipulated as a weapon or conduit through which one would in addition their goals and objectives underneath the guise of public hobby. The Court requested the petitioners to be responsible and confined while approaching the court with PILs. It similarly said that the filing of such PETITIONS can also encourage undermining religion in the device. The ₹10,000 fee imposed on the petitioner changed into directed to be deposited inside the Maharashtra State Legal Services Authority inside weeks. This case is a pointer that the judiciary might not tolerate misuse of the PIL mechanism and will tear into all such individuals who try and exploit this provision with issues of personal or communal gains.
In a major step, the Supreme Court of India set up a National Task Force with the mandate to conform measures to make certain the safety and dignity of docs nationwide. The impetus become an incident wherein a younger woman intern at R. G. Kar Medical College, Kolkata, have become a victim of heinous rape and murder, which bowled over public sentiments and taken to the fore the crying need for important protectives for scientific professionals, specifically ladies. A Bench headed via Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud took severe word of the increasing incidents of gender-primarily based violence in fitness institutions. It said that this heinous crime changed into not an remoted incident; alternatively, it constitutes part of a larger sample of violence and harassment confronted with the aid of doctors, specially lady interns and residents, in one-of-a-kind components of the country. Keeping in view the urgency and gravity of the situation, whereby immediately and stern movement was required, the Supreme Court ordered the putting in of a National Task Force inclusive of criminal experts, scientific experts, and representatives from government companies. The Task Force is mandated with the obligation to border a comprehensive countrywide movement plan for prevention of gender-primarily based violence in clinical institutions and to make certain secure and dignified running conditions for all medical doctors, inclusive of interns, resident docs, and non-resident clinical experts. It laid down sure key areas on which the Task Force is required to pay attention. These, inter alia, relate to tightening of security in hospitals and clinical colleges, implementation of gender sensitization programmes among clinical body of workers and students, and framing of protocols regarding reporting and addressing incidents of harassment or violence. The Court additionally mentioned the need for better guide of docs' mental health towards the heritage of enormous stress and burnout that may be characterized as a poisonous environment at paintings. The Supreme Court asked the Task Force to widely talk over with the stakeholders—which include doctors' institutions and medical institutions, women's rights organizations—to ensure that the motion plan is complete and efficacious. The Task Force has been requested to offer its file within a length of six months from now, after which the Court might recall its tips and pass in addition guidelines for their implementation. This judgment therefore has been one greater step in advance in securing docs, specifically ladies, as well as their dignity in India. The institution of the National Task Force spells out in no unsure terms that the safety and dignity of clinical specialists are specially, and additionally the judiciary is devoted to motion on the ground in subjects concerning them.
