By Ritika Jain The Supreme Court on Thursday reserved judgment on pleas seeking a 100 per cent VVPAT tally with votes cast on an Electronic Voter Machine (EVM). Minutes later, petitioner Arun Kumar Agrawal expressed his disappointment with the hearing. He confessed there was little hope of getting relief. “I followed the court proceedings enough to know that it is not going to go my way,” he said over a cup of coffee at the Supreme Court canteen. The Supreme Court’s hearing on pleas for a complete VVPAT tally with EVMs was crucial with the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections kicking off today. Currently,...

By Abir Dasgupta New Delhi— The website of the Supreme Court-ordered Pegasus investigation committee headed by former Supreme Court Judge Justice R V Raveendran has deleted depositions made to it and has started posting spam content.

At the time of writing, the committee’s website – www.pegasus-india-investigation.in – has a blank page titled 'Depositions of the Petitioners/Complainants’ Schedule. This page, until at least November 26 2022, as per the Wayback...

By Mohammed Kudrati Several social media posts are falsely claiming that the Supreme Court of India has imposed a blanket ban on the marriage between a Hindu woman and a Muslim man. BOOM found that the headline of the newspaper clipping refers to the judgement of a single case, with no overarching applicability. The case is from January 2019, where the Supreme Court ruled on the marriage between a Hindu woman and a Muslim man, calling it 'fasid' or irregular, but where the children are legitimate and have a share in their father's property. The image in the viral posts shows a headline which s...

By Ritika Jain Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Wednesday said that in October 2016 Supreme Court undid a "historic parliamentary mandate" when it struck down the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC)—the Centre's flagship project. "There is no parallel to such a development in democratic history where a duly legitimised constitutional prescription has been judicially undone," Dhankar said in a direct attack on the Supreme Court. In his maiden speech before the Rajya Sabha, Dhankar sought to strike a balance between the Legislature, the Judiciary and the Executive, when he said de...

By Ritika Jain Bilkis Bano moved the Supreme Court challenging the premature release of 11 people convicted of gangraping her and murdering her family during the 2002 Gujarat Riots. The en masse premature release of the convicts on August 15 has shaken the conscience of the society, Bano said. Bano has also filed a plea challenging the top court's May 13 order which paved the way for the Gujarat government to consider the appeals for early release. While the nation was celebrating our country's 76th Independence Day, all the convicts were prematurely released and felicitated with garlands and ...

By Ritika Jain The Centre told Supreme Court that while vaccination was strongly encouraged, there was "no legal compulsion" to take the COVID-19 vaccine. More importantly, the health ministry clarified that "the concept of informed consent was inapplicable to the voluntary use of a drug such as a vaccine". The Centre's submissions came on a plea filed by parents who lost both their daughters because of a side effect from the 'Covishield' vaccine. In their plea, the parents sought compensation, a probe into the adverse effects of vaccines and guidelines for early detection and treatment for th...

By Ritika Jain Supreme Court on Monday expressed its anguish over Law Minister Kiren Rijiju's "alien system" comment on the collegium system and called out the government for delaying the appointment of judges in the higher judiciary. The top court said the people may have reservations about the collegium system, but it was the law of the land and the Centre needed to adhere to it. Supreme Court reminded the Executive that its inaction on collegium proposals was not the way to express its alleged unhappiness just because the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC) "did not pass muster...

By Ritika Jain Supreme Court said it was not sold on the "logic" by which the Centre selected and appointed Election Commissioner Arun Goel. The top court's five-judge constitution bench said it was "mystified" and bluntly asked the Centre how it shortlisted four candidates out of the "vast reservoir of names" at their disposal. Supreme Court—which was hearing pleas for an independent mechanism to appoint Election Commissioners—on Wednesday had asked the Centre to submit files pertaining to the selection and appointment of 1983 batch ex-IAS officer Arun Goel who was named the head of the poll ...

By Ritika Jain This week, two different judicial forums issued significant orders relating to pets and stray dogs. While the Supreme Court allowed caregivers to feed stray dogs in public within minimal nuisance, the Gurugram district forum in Haryana has directed the enforcement of a 'one family one dog' rule. Though these orders are city-specific for now, it may potentially influence policies for pets and strays elsewhere. BOOM recaps the developments below.
