State of Maharashtra (2025) AP High Court Grants Parole to Lifer for Son’s Wedding in Exceptional Case Citing Rule 27 Karnataka High Court Declares Power Subsidy Denial to Farmer Societies Unconstitutional, Upholds Cooperative Farming Rights MAHI SINHA 19 May 2025 The Karnataka High Court ruled that denying power subsidies to cooperative farmer societies based on collective consumption is unconstitutional. This landmark judgment supports cooperative farming and sustainable agriculture in India. Karnataka High Court Upholds Power Subsidy Rights for Farmer Societies In a significant judgment, the Karnataka High Court declared a 2008 government order denying power tariff subsidies to farmer societies as unconstitutional. The court emphasized the importance of cooperative farming in achieving sustainable agriculture in India. Background: Government Order Challenged The disputed Government Order No. EN 55 PSR 2008, dated September 4, 2008, excluded registered farmer societies from power subsidies solely because their combined usage exceeded the specified horsepower limit. This arbitrary policy was challenged by Shrishail Irappa Kempwad and another petitioner—secretaries of cooperative societies in Karnataka. Lift Irrigation Project and Constitutional Concerns The petitioners highlighted their investment of over ₹5.79 crores to build a lift irrigation scheme on the Krishna River to irrigate lands in the villages of Parthanahalli and Madhabhavi, Athani Taluk. The court found that the state government failed in its constitutional duty to ensure access to water, forcing marginal farmers to form societies and arrange irrigation independently. Violation of Article 14: Equality Before Law The court observed that excluding societies from subsidies based solely on collective power usage violates Article 14 of the Indian Constitution, which guarantees equality before the law. It ruled the differentiation between individual and group consumption to be unjust and disconnected from the objective of aiding small and marginal farmers. HESCOM’s Argument and the Court’s Response HESCOM argued that since both societies entered contracts for HT power supply in 2016, they were bound by commercial tariffs and exempt from subsidy eligibility. The court rejected this reasoning, pointing out that subsidy eligibility should not be based on technical contract terms but the broader agricultural welfare policy. Discrimination Against Cooperative Farming The bench criticized the discriminatory policy that penalizes collective farming, stating: “It is unconstitutional and arbitrary to deny power subsidies to registered farmer societies based only on their collective consumption exceeding limits.” It emphasized that cooperative farming plays a vital role in achieving long-term sustainability in Indian agriculture, and government actions should support—not discourage—such initiatives. Subsidy Policy and Unmetered Installations The judgment highlighted inconsistencies in subsidy distribution, noting that even unmetered installations received subsidies based on estimates, while societies with actual consumption within limits were denied. This contradiction undermines both statutory mandates and efficient agricultural practices. Court’s Final Orders While partially accepting the petition, the court instructed the State Government and electricity distributors to revise their subsidy framework within six months. Farmers’ organizations must settle outstanding dues but are free to seek benefits under the new guidelines. However, the court denied the request to invalidate demand notices or declare the COVID-19 pandemic as Force Majeure. Conclusion: A Victory for Cooperative Farming and Agricultural Equality The Karnataka High Court’s landmark judgment reinforces the constitutional principles of equality and fairness in the distribution of agricultural subsidies. By declaring the denial of power tariff subsidies to farmer societies unconstitutional, the court has set a precedent that supports cooperative farming as a legitimate and essential pillar of Indian agriculture.

Key goods, including garments and processed foods, face tighter regulations. Read more about the policy changes, bilateral tensions, and the implications for regional trade. India Responds to Bangladesh’s Import Measures In a strategic move echoing Bangladesh’s recent trade restrictions, the Indian government has announced significant limitations on import routes for goods coming from Bangladesh. According to a notification from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), ready-made garment imports will no longer be allowed through the integrated check posts (ICPs) located in India’s northeastern states. List of Banned Products and Affected States The restrictions will impact a variety of Bangladeshi products such as: – Ready-made garments – Plastic and melamine items – Furniture – Juices – Bakery and confectionery products – Other processed food items These import limitations apply specifically to the ICPs in Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram. Exemptions and Transit Rules The restrictions do not apply to goods transiting through India to third countries like Nepal and Bhutan. Moreover, essential imports such as seafood, LPG, edible oils, and crushed stone are exempt from these limitations. India’s Reciprocal Trade Action Sources from India Today suggest this move is a direct response to Bangladesh’s tightening of inspections on Indian imports. Bangladesh had previously placed restrictions on certain Indian goods entering through land checkpoints, sparking this counteraction from New Delhi. Bangladesh’s Clothing Exports Heavily Impacted Ready-made clothing accounts for 85% of Bangladesh’s exports, with 93% of its USD 700 million annual exports to India passing through land ports. The new policy could significantly disrupt this flow. Policy Change and Immediate Implementation The Indian Ministry announced that the changes take **immediate effect**, with a new clause added to the import policy targeting goods from Bangladesh. India Revokes Transhipment Facility On April 9, India revoked the transhipment facility that had allowed Bangladesh to export goods to regions such as the Middle East and Europe, excluding Nepal and Bhutan. The revocation followed controversial comments made by Muhammad Yunus, the senior advisor to the Bangladeshi government. Yunus claimed that Bangladesh is the only sea access for India’s seven northeastern, landlocked states — a statement that sparked outrage among Indian politicians and the trade community. Political Fallout and Regional Tensions Relations between India and Bangladesh have further deteriorated since the removal of Sheikh Hasina as Prime Minister. Reports of increased attacks on the Hindu minority in Bangladesh and Yunus’s remarks have intensified diplomatic strain. Conclusion: A Turning Point in India-Bangladesh Trade Relations India’s decision to restrict imports from Bangladesh via northeastern checkpoints marks a significant escalation in the ongoing trade tensions between the two countries. While framed as a reciprocal response, the move is likely to have substantial economic implications, especially for Bangladesh’s export-heavy garment industry. The situation highlights the fragile nature of cross-border trade and the geopolitical sensitivities surrounding access, transit, and diplomatic rhetoric. As both nations navigate these tensions, the international community will be watching closely to see whether diplomacy can de-escalate the conflict or if further economic retaliations lie ahead.

Learn how Indian agencies are tackling rising cyber-espionage threats. Odisha YouTuber Under Scrutiny for Alleged Ties with Spy Jyoti Malhotra The spotlight is now on a Puri-based YouTuber following revelations of her possible link to Haryana social media influencer Jyoti Malhotra, who was arrested for allegedly spying for Pakistan. The joint investigation by the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Odisha Police has intensified, with authorities exploring digital evidence and travel history. Jyoti Malhotra: From YouTuber to Alleged Spy The arrest of Jyoti Malhotra, who operated the YouTube channel “Travel with JO,” sent shockwaves across the digital community. Originally from Hisar, Haryana, she was accused of passing sensitive information about the Indian military to foreign handlers. She had visited Puri in September 2024 and reportedly met the Odisha-based content creator during her trip. Malhotra allegedly captured images and videos of key locations including the iconic Jagannath Temple and nearby government buildings. Digital Espionage and Investigative Developments Security agencies suspect that the visuals and information collected by Malhotra may have been transmitted using advanced digital tools. The IB is thoroughly examining interactions between the two YouTubers, including social media chats and potential data exchange. While the identity of the Puri YouTuber remains undisclosed, she is cooperating with the investigation. Authorities are also verifying if she had any prior knowledge of Malhotra’s alleged espionage activities. Puri YouTuber Denies Involvement, Issues Public Statement Responding to the allegations, the Odisha YouTuber shared a statement on social media clarifying her position: “Jyoti was just a buddy of mine, and YouTube was how I first connected with her. I didn’t know she was accused of anything. If I had known she was spying for a foreign nation, I would never have kept in touch.” She further emphasized her willingness to cooperate with investigators and expressed shock over the incident, stating her relationship with Jyoti Malhotra was strictly professional. Family Speaks Out Amid Growing Concerns Her father also addressed the media, mentioning that the family was in full cooperation with law enforcement. He confirmed her recent travel to Pahalgam and acknowledged Jyoti Malhotra had once visited their home. He reiterated his daughter had no knowledge of any illegal activities and highlighted her travel sponsorships from various agencies. Cyber-Espionage: A Growing Threat Through Digital Influencers Security analysts warn that this case is part of a larger trend involving cyber-espionage. Foreign intelligence networks are increasingly using influencers and digital platforms to infiltrate and extract sensitive information from within India. This alarming incident underscores the urgent need for vigilance in the age of digital content creation and the hidden threats behind seemingly benign collaborations. Conclusion: Digital Vigilance in the Age of Influence The investigation into the Odisha YouTuber’s alleged links with Jyoti Malhotra serves as a stark reminder of the evolving nature of espionage in the digital era. As influencers and content creators gain widespread reach, they also become potential targets—or unwitting participants—in intelligence operations. This case highlights the growing importance of digital awareness and cybersecurity, not only for authorities but also for individuals engaged in content creation. With the lines between personal connection and professional collaboration becoming increasingly blurred online, it’s essential to remain alert, transparent, and responsible.

Learn more about the court proceedings, the role of human rights advocates, and the legal arguments surrounding refugee rights in India. Supreme Court Dismisses Petition to Halt Rohingya Deportation On May 16, 2025, the Supreme Court of India denied a writ petition in the case of MOHAMMAD ISMAIL v. UNION OF INDIA, which claimed that 43 Rohingya refugees—including women, children, elderly individuals, and those with critical illnesses—were forcibly deported and thrown into international waters by Indian authorities. A bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and N. Kotiswar Singh refused to grant an interim stay on further deportations. The ruling followed a similar rejection by a three-judge panel led by Justice Kant on May 8. Supreme Court Questions Credibility of Allegations The court dismissed the petition as lacking substantial evidence. The judges stated that the accusations were “generalized,” “vague,” and “unsupported.” The petition failed to present prima facie evidence that could justify overturning an earlier court order. Senior Advocate Colin Gonsalves, representing the petitioners, urged for an urgent hearing, citing a UN Human Rights report that confirmed the deportation. However, Justice Kant questioned the reliability of the petition, calling it a “beautifully crafted story” lacking factual backing. Evidence and Eyewitness Testimony Under Scrutiny Justice Kant questioned the source of information, particularly how the petitioner, reportedly in Delhi, could verify the events allegedly happening in the Andaman Islands and Myanmar. Gonsalves argued that the petitioners received phone calls and recorded messages from deported individuals. The bench, however, demanded verifiable proof and insisted that only official reports or recorded testimonies would be considered credible. UN Investigation and Sovereignty Concerns Gonsalves informed the court that the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) had taken note of the issue and initiated an investigation. The bench instructed him to submit these findings officially, while reiterating that “those sitting outside cannot challenge our sovereignty.” Legal Precedents and Rights of Non-Citizens Referencing the landmark case NHRC v. State of Arunachal Pradesh, Gonsalves argued that even non-citizens have the right to life and liberty under Indian law. However, the bench countered that the relief in that case was possible only because the government had agreed to consider granting citizenship to the Chakma people. Justice Kant also emphasized the ongoing legal debate regarding the classification of the Rohingyas as legitimate refugees under Indian law. Rohingya Crisis and International Law Gonsalves highlighted a ruling by the International Court of Justice, which found that Rohingyas in Myanmar face the threat of genocide. Despite this, the court asked for concrete evidence that showed any new developments or alarming information gathered after the May 8 ruling. The bench questioned the reliability of data sourced from social media and emphasized the need for verified communication with the refugee community. Final Observations on Deportation Proceedings The Supreme Court reiterated that if the Rohingyas have no legal right to remain in India, they must be deported in accordance with established legal procedures. This decision follows submissions from Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who affirmed the Union Government’s obligation to implement prior court rulings concerning foreign nationals. As of now, more than 8,000 Rohingya refugees reside in India with valid UNHCR documentation, while approximately 600 are located in Delhi alone. Conclusion: A Complex Legal and Humanitarian Battle The ongoing deportation of the Rohingya refugees highlights the complex intersection of international human rights, national sovereignty, and legal interpretation in India. While advocates like Colin Gonsalves continue to fight for refugee protection under constitutional and international law, the Supreme Court remains firm in demanding concrete, verifiable evidence to intervene.

Supreme Court Favors ISKCON Bangalore in Temple Ownership Dispute In a significant legal victory, the Supreme Court of India has ruled in favor of ISKCON Bangalore in the high-profile dispute over the ownership of the famous Hare Krishna temple in Bengaluru. This ruling ends a prolonged battle between ISKCON’s two factions—Bangalore and Mumbai. Legal Background and Court Rulings The temple, managed by ISKCON Bangalore for several years, became the subject of controversy after ISKCON Mumbai laid claim to its ownership. Earlier, a 2009 trial court judgment had declared ISKCON Bangalore the legal owner of the temple and issued a permanent injunction against ISKCON Mumbai. However, this decision was later overturned by the Karnataka High Court. On May 17, 2025, a bench comprising Justices AS Oka and Augustine George Masih reinstated the 2009 trial court order, dismissing the High Court’s judgment and confirming ISKCON Bangalore’s ownership and management rights. Timeline of the ISKCON Legal Battle The dispute began to intensify in 2011 when ISKCON Bangalore, represented by office-bearer Kodandarama Dasa, petitioned the Supreme Court following a setback at the Karnataka High Court. On May 23, 2011, the High Court had ruled in favor of ISKCON Mumbai, stating that the temple belonged to the parent body registered under the Bombay Public Trusts Act of 1950 and the Societies Registration Act of 1860. ISKCON Mumbai contended that the Bangalore temple was a branch operating under its administration. In contrast, ISKCON Bangalore asserted its status as an independent society registered under Karnataka law, with full autonomy over temple operations. Victory for ISKCON Bangalore and What It Means With the Supreme Court’s ruling, ISKCON Bangalore has now secured the legal right to own and manage the Hare Krishna temple in Bengaluru. This decision not only resolves years of uncertainty but also strengthens the society’s autonomy and identity within the global ISKCON community. Conclusion The Supreme Court’s verdict is a landmark in the realm of religious property disputes in India. It sets a precedent for the recognition of regional autonomy within spiritual organizations, and it reaffirms the rights of locally registered entities like ISKCON Bangalore to operate independently.

Delhi Sees Major Bureaucratic Overhaul Under Rekha Gupta’s Leadership In a notable administrative reshuffle, the Ministry of Home Affairs initiated a large-scale transfer of senior bureaucrats from the AGMUT cadre, marking the first major reorganization since Rekha Gupta assumed office as Delhi’s Chief Minister in February 2025. Key Transfers from Delhi to Other Union Territories and States Senior officers, including Ashish Chandra Verma, Additional Chief Secretary of Finance and Revenue, have been moved to Jammu and Kashmir. Anil Kumar Singh, a 1995 batch IAS officer and Additional Chief Secretary for Environment and Forests, also heads to Jammu and Kashmir. Additionally, Sudhir Kumar, Principal Secretary of Vigilance, has been transferred to Mizoram. Officers Sachin Shinde (2008 batch, Transport) and K. M. Uppu (2009 batch, Home) are reassigned to Andaman & Nicobar and Puducherry respectively. Notable Officers Recalled to Delhi Vijay Kumar Bhiduri, a 2005 batch officer formerly posted in J&K, returns to Delhi. Similarly, Dilraj Kaur of the 2000 batch, transferred from Andaman & Nicobar, rejoins the Delhi administration. Other officers moved from Delhi include Chanchal Yadav, Vinod Kavle (both from the 2008 batch), and Navin SL from the 2012 batch. Internal Reassignments within Delhi’s Bureaucracy The Delhi government has also reshuffled 42 senior officers across the AGMUT and DANICS cadres. Navin Kumar Chaudhary (1994 batch) is now Additional Chief Secretary of the Public Works Department, having previously overseen General Administration, Flood Control, and Irrigation. Meanwhile, Bipul Pathak, a 1992 batch ACS of Industries, takes on additional charge of Environment and Forest. Upcoming Roles in Health and Technology Nikhil Kumar, a 2002-born officer, will assume dual roles as the new Health Secretary and Secretary of Information Technology. Neeraj Semwal (2003 batch) is slated to become the Secretary Revenue-cum-Divisional Commissioner, currently awaiting official assignment. Conclusion: Strategic Shifts to Strengthen Delhi’s Governance This large-scale bureaucratic reshuffle marks a critical move by the Rekha Gupta administration to streamline governance and inject fresh leadership into key departments across Delhi and other union territories. By reassigning experienced officers within the AGMUT cadre and promoting internal talent, the Delhi government signals a focused approach toward administrative efficiency, environmental management, public works, and health infrastructure. As these officers take on their new responsibilities, citizens and policymakers alike will watch closely to see how these changes shape the future of governance in the capital and beyond.

Sofiya Qureshi Hate Speech Case India Ready to Remove All Tariffs on US Goods, Says Donald Trump MAHI SINHA 17 May 2025 U.S. President Donald Trump revealed that India is willing to remove tariffs on American goods. Explore the ongoing India-US trade negotiations, expected deals, and what it means for global trade. Donald Trump Says India Ready to Eliminate Tariffs on US Goods In a recent interview with Fox News, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that India has offered to remove all tariffs on American products. While this statement signals a significant shift in trade relations, Trump emphasized he is in no rush to finalize a deal. Trump Highlights Tariff Barriers in Interview with Fox News During an interview with Bret Baier, Trump expressed his desire to reduce trade barriers for U.S. products in international markets, particularly India. “Doing business is nearly impossible because of these tariffs,” he said. “They are prepared to remove all of their tariffs against the U.S.” Although optimistic about the development, Trump made it clear that he is not under pressure to finalize the agreement, saying, “That’ll come soon. I’m not rushing. Everyone wants to work out a deal with us.” Focus Shifts to India-US Trade Negotiations According to Press Trust of India (PTI), all attention is now on upcoming trade talks between Washington and Delhi. India’s delegation, led by Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, will engage in a four-day negotiation to work toward a bilateral trade agreement (BTA). Goyal is expected to meet with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer during the discussions. Trade Talks Occur Amid Regional Tensions Interestingly, the talks coincide with a tense moment in South Asian geopolitics. Trump claimed he considered halting trade with both India and Pakistan following a surprise ceasefire agreement between the two nations. He told reporters at the White House, “We’re trading if you stop it. We won’t make any trades if you don’t stop it.” Early Wins Expected Before October Trade Deal The two nations are aiming for an interim trade deal with “early mutual wins,” expected before the first part of a comprehensive agreement is announced in October 2025. This strategy aligns with the existing 90-day tariff break currently in effect. Temporary Tax Relief Announced on Indian Imports To help bridge the trade gap, Trump previously announced on April 2 that the U.S. would delay 26% tariffs on Indian imports until July 9. However, the standard 10% basic tariff remains in place. Conclusion: A Pivotal Moment for India-US Trade Relations The prospect of India–US trade relations entering a new phase, with the removal of tariffs on American goods, marks a potentially historic economic shift. As negotiations unfold, all eyes will be on how swiftly and strategically both nations can align their interests. With leadership from figures like Piyush Goyal and Jamieson Greer, and the ongoing influence of Donald Trump, the outcome could reshape global trade dynamics. For businesses, investors, and policymakers, the next few months will be crucial in determining the scope and success of this potential bilateral trade breakthrough.

Learn more about the case of Tata AIG v. Suraj Kumar. Overview of the Case In the significant Supreme Court case Tata AIG General Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Suraj Kumar & Ors., decided on May 6, 2025, the apex court clarified the scope of liability for insurance companies in motor accident claims. The ruling determined that an insurance provider cannot be required to ensure the ongoing welfare or rehabilitation of accident victims beyond the mandated financial compensation. Case Details at a Glance Case Title: Tata AIG General Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Suraj Kumar & Ors. Date of Judgment: May 6, 2025 Case Citation: 2025 INSC 707 Presiding Judges: Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia and Justice K. Vinod Chandran Factual Background The respondent, a cleaner working on a Tempo vehicle, was seriously injured in a road accident when the Tempo collided with a stationary tanker. As a result of the accident, he sustained 90% permanent disability in both lower limbs, with one limb amputated. The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) ordered Tata AIG General Insurance Co. to provide: A motorized wheelchair Prosthetic limbs Contact details of responsible officers Transportation costs for travel from Patna to Delhi Biannual checks to ensure proper functioning of the aids Key Legal Issue Does an Insurance Company Have a Duty Beyond Monetary Compensation? The primary issue in this case was whether an insurance company’s responsibility extends beyond paying financial compensation to include ensuring the future well-being and mobility of the accident victim. Arguments from the Insurer Tata AIG General Insurance Co. contended that: Its legal obligation is limited to monetary compensation as per the insurance contract. It cannot be held accountable for managing the victim’s long-term care or rehabilitation. The additional orders imposed by the Tribunal overstepped legal boundaries. Supreme Court’s Judgment The Supreme Court bench sided with the insurance company. The Court held that: “The insurer’s liability ends with financial compensation. Ensuring the victim’s future well-being is beyond the purview of the insurance policy.” The bench stated that while the victim deserves full compensation for medical needs, such as prosthetic limbs and a motorized wheelchair, the responsibility for ongoing care and supervision does not fall on the insurance provider. Compensation Ordered by the Court The Court directed a lump-sum compensation of: ₹10 lakhs for prosthetic limbs ₹2 lakhs for a motorized wheelchair Total: ₹12 lakhs, plus simple interest This amount was deemed sufficient to meet the functional needs of the victim without placing an ongoing burden on the insurer. Conclusion This 2025 Supreme Court judgment reinforces the principle that insurance companies in India are liable only for financial compensation, not for ongoing personal care or rehabilitation of road accident victims. It brings much-needed clarity to the limits of motor accident insurance coverage under Indian law. Key Takeaways Insurance liability ends with monetary payout, not long-term care. Tribunal orders must remain within the scope of insurance law. The case sets a precedent for future motor accident compensation claims. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law.

A Case Study of Trimurthi Fragrances vs. Govt. of NCT Delhi Supreme Court Upholds Use of Urdu for Official Purposes in Maharashtra: Varshatai v. State of Maharashtra (2025) NITU KUMARI 17 May 2025 The Supreme Court upholds the use of Urdu as an additional official language in Maharashtra, highlighting its cultural significance and legal standing under Indian law. Introduction: Language and Legal Identity in India In a landmark judgment, the Supreme Court of India upheld the use of Urdu as an additional official language for municipal signage in Maharashtra. The decision, stemming from the case Varshatai vs The State of Maharashtra, reinforces the cultural and constitutional recognition of linguistic diversity in India. This blog breaks down the facts, legal issues, and implications of the ruling, shedding light on how language rights are protected under Indian law. Case Background: Objection to Urdu Signage Who Was Involved? The appellant, Mrs. Varshatai Bagade, a former member of a Municipal Council, challenged the decision to include Urdu on signboards alongside Marathi in Maharashtra. Key Events: The Municipal Council approved the use of Urdu in addition to Marathi on public signage. The appellant objected and filed a legal challenge, first with the Collector of Akola, then escalating it to the Divisional Commissioner and the Bombay High Court. Dissatisfied with the outcome, the case was brought before the Supreme Court. Legal Issue: Is Urdu Allowed as an Additional Official Language? Core Question Before the Court: Does the Maharashtra Local Authorities (Official Languages) Act, 2022 prohibit the use of Urdu alongside Marathi on municipal signboards? This became the central legal issue in evaluating language policy in local governance within the state of Maharashtra. Supreme Court Judgment: Language Is Not Religion The Supreme Court, in its April 15, 2025 ruling (2025 INSC 486), clarified that Urdu and Marathi are both recognized under Schedule VIII of the Indian Constitution. The Court firmly rejected the notion that Urdu’s use was unconstitutional or inappropriate. Key Highlights from the Verdict: Language is cultural, not religious. Urdu is an Indian language—born, nurtured, and refined on Indian soil. The Court described Urdu as part of Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb, the composite culture of North and Central India. The 2022 Act does not prohibit Urdu as an additional language; it merely establishes Marathi as the principal one. Cultural and Constitutional Importance of Urdu The Court emphasized that Urdu is deeply woven into India’s linguistic fabric, similar to Hindi and Marathi. Many everyday expressions used across India contain Urdu-origin words, highlighting the natural linguistic exchange in Indian society. It also stressed the need to celebrate linguistic plurality, a foundational element of the Indian identity. Conclusion: Upholding Language Rights in India The Supreme Court’s dismissal of the appeal reaffirms the country’s commitment to linguistic inclusivity and constitutional rights. The ruling is a powerful reminder that language belongs to communities, not religions, and that India’s rich tapestry of languages must be protected and celebrated—not politicized.

A Case Study of Trimurthi Fragrances vs. Govt. of NCT Delhi Dhaka University Student Leader Fatally Stabbed After Concert Near Campus Entrance AP High Court Grants Parole to Lifer for Son’s Wedding in Exceptional Case Citing Rule 27 MAHI SINHA 16 May 2025 The Andhra Pradesh High Court allowed a lifer to attend his son’s wedding under exceptional circumstances, citing Rule 27 of the Suspension of Sentence on Parole Rules 2024. Learn about the unique legal reasoning and case details here. AP High Court Permits Lifer to Attend Son’s Wedding in Exceptional Circumstances In a noteworthy judgment, the Andhra Pradesh High Court granted parole to a life-term convict to attend his son’s wedding. This rare allowance was made despite the presence of a co-convict already on parole, which typically restricts such permissions under standard procedure. Background: Vennapusa Raghunath Reddy vs. State of Andhra Pradesh The petitioner, Vennapusa Raghunath Reddy, son of lifer Vennapusa Gangadhar Reddy, approached the court seeking temporary parole for his father. The father was convicted and serving a life sentence. Although parole had already been granted, it was conditional upon the return of another parolee involved in the same case. The respondents cited concerns under Rule 27 of the Parole Rules (G.O. Ms. No.04, Home (Paroles & HRC) Department, dated 06.01.2025), which emphasize the prevention of law and order issues when multiple co-convicts are out on parole simultaneously. Parole Denial Due to Co-Convict Already on Parole On March 26, 2025, another co-convict, Vemireddy Bala Chinnareddy, was granted a 30-day parole, which was later extended by 15 days, expiring on May 14, 2025. Authorities argued that until his return, granting parole to another convict involved in the same offense could potentially disrupt peace and security. Court’s Interpretation of Rule 27 and Final Ruling A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Dhiraj Singh Thakur and Justice R. Raghunandan Rao evaluated the case under Rule 27 of the Suspension of Sentence on Parole Rules 2024. The bench observed that although the Rule requires the jail superintendent to ensure public safety, this case stood out due to its “exceptional” nature. Since the convict’s son was getting married on May 11, 2025, the court ruled that denying the parole would be unjust. It ordered the release of the lifer with proper police escort to attend the wedding on May 10 and May 11, 2025. Logistics and Final Orders by the Court The Kadapa Central Prison Superintendent was instructed to facilitate the convict’s travel with a police escort to the village where the wedding was scheduled. He was to be returned to prison by 5:00 PM on May 12, 2025. As a result, the writ appeal was officially dismissed, marking this as a significant case in the application of parole law in India. Conclusion: A Humanitarian Interpretation of Parole Law The ruling by the Andhra Pradesh High Court underscores the importance of judicial discretion and humanitarian considerations in the implementation of parole laws in India. While maintaining law and order is crucial, this exceptional case demonstrated how courts can balance security concerns with personal liberty and family values.
