The Court held that the matter falls under the jurisdiction of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), not the judiciary. Background: The Khajuraho temples, constructed by the Chandravanshi kings, are famous for their intricate carvings and historical significance. The idol in question was mutilated during past invasions, including by the Mughals, and has remained unrestored for decades. The petitioner argued that government inaction, both during the colonial period and post-independence, had left the idol in its damaged state. Key Developments: Petition Filed: Rakesh Dalal filed the petition, urging restoration of the idol and asserting that its damaged condition violates devotees’ right to worship. Court Proceedings: The petition was heard by Chief Justice BR Gavai and Justice Augustine George Masih. CJI Remarks: CJI Gavai advised the petitioner to approach ASI for restoration, emphasizing the legal and administrative jurisdiction: “Go and ask the deity itself to do something now…It is an archeological field and ASI must issue permission etc.” Issues Raised: Alleged violation of devotees’ right to worship due to non-restoration of the idol. Historical neglect of cultural heritage, both during colonial times and after independence. Repeated petitions, protests, and memoranda submitted to authorities were reportedly ignored. Current Status: The Supreme Court rejected the petition, clarifying that restoration is under ASI’s administrative domain. The matter will now have to be pursued with the ASI, which governs maintenance and restoration of protected monuments. Conclusion: The Supreme Court’s refusal highlights the division between judicial intervention and administrative authority in heritage conservation. While devotees’ concerns remain, restoration of historic idols must be addressed through statutory bodies like ASI rather than the courts. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law.

On September 16, 2025, a bench led by Chief Justice BR Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran ordered the transfer of all pending petitions from various High Courts to the apex court. Background: Several states, including Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, and Haryana, have enacted laws regulating or restricting religious conversions, often linked to interfaith marriages. These laws have faced multiple constitutional challenges in different High Courts, with critics calling them draconian and violative of fundamental rights. Key Developments: Transfer of Cases: The Supreme Court directed that all High Court petitions challenging state anti-conversion laws be consolidated and heard together. Bench Proceedings: Senior Advocate Indira Jaising sought transfer of the matters; Additional Solicitor General KM Natraj, representing Madhya Pradesh, raised no objection. The bench agreed, ordering “Ok, transfer all such petitions here.” Next Steps: The Court scheduled the matter for hearing after six weeks, when applications for interim relief (such as staying the operation of these laws) will be considered. Issues Raised: Stringent Provisions: Senior Advocate CU Singh flagged provisions in Uttar Pradesh’s law, including a minimum 20-year sentence and bail conditions comparable to PMLA, making bail in interfaith marriage cases nearly impossible. Abuse of Law: Concerns were raised about misuse during festivals and mob violence under the garb of “forced conversions.” Personal Law & Autonomy: Advocates Vrinda Grover and others argued these laws violate personal liberty, autonomy, and equality. State Submissions: States were directed to file replies, while Advocate Ashwini Upadhyay demanded a ban on deceitful conversions, prompting the CJI to ask how deceit could be determined in practice. Current Status: All High Court petitions have been transferred to the Supreme Court. The Court has not stayed the operation of the laws but will consider interim relief in six weeks. The matter now becomes a precedent-setting case on the balance between religious freedom, personal liberty, and state regulation. Conclusion: By centralizing the challenges, the Supreme Court has positioned itself to deliver a landmark verdict on the constitutionality of religious conversion laws across India. The outcome will have sweeping implications for interfaith marriages, individual freedoms, and the extent of state control over religious practices. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law.

Justice Javed Iqbal Wani emphasized that the welfare of the child includes emotional, moral, and physical care, not just financial security. Background: The case arose from an appeal against a Srinagar trial court order granting custody of two minors to their father. The trial court relied primarily on the father’s stronger financial status and an alleged breach of undertaking by the mother. Key Developments: Justice Wani clarified that the lack of financial means does not disqualify a mother from being a custodian. The Guardian and Wards Act, 1890, was cited to highlight that the welfare of the child should be understood broadly. Courts in India have consistently recognized the importance of a mother’s role in the formative years. Issues: Whether financial ability alone is enough to determine custody. The impact of marital discord, including the father’s conviction in Qatar for assaulting the mother. Balancing continuity of care and emotional stability against financial considerations. Interpretation of Muslim personal law on custody (Hizanat). Current Status: The High Court quashed the Srinagar trial court order. Custody of the two minors was granted to the mother, with visitation rights to the father. The Court noted the children’s settled environment with their mother since 2022, her ability to care with support from her parents, and the elder child’s preference against being cared for by a maid in Qatar. Conclusion: The J&K High Court reinforced that custody decisions must prioritize the holistic welfare of the child, not just financial aspects. The judgment underscored the irreplaceable role of mothers in early childhood and rejected gender-based disqualifications under personal law. Stability, emotional security, and welfare were held paramount. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law. Edit your profile. Log out?

He stressed that India is not far behind London and Singapore and soon will have the finest ADR system worldwide. Background: The Indian Council of Arbitration (ICA) hosted the Delhi Arbitration Weekend 2025, a significant event that brought together judges, legal professionals, academics, and practitioners to discuss the growth of arbitration and mediation in India. Justice PK Mishra connected ADR with India’s cultural heritage, noting that traditions of negotiation and persuasion have been integral to Indian society since ancient times. Key Developments: Justice Mishra highlighted that ICA has bolstered India’s ambition to become a global arbitral hub. He explained that ADR complements, rather than opposes, the judicial system and emphasized its importance for India’s economic growth. He stated that strong ADR mechanisms will help build international trust in India, essential for achieving the goal of becoming the world’s third or fourth-largest economy. Issues: Need for stricter timelines in arbitration-related petitions under Sections 34 and 37 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. Concerns over delays in award enforcement. The gap between minimal court intervention and the necessity of judicial review in certain awards. Lack of formal training and specialization for arbitrators and mediators. Current Status: Justice Jasmeet Singh of the Delhi High Court underlined the urgency of reforms by advocating for fixed schedules in arbitration-related petitions, stronger laws, and specialized arbitration courts. Senior advocates, partners from leading law firms, and academics also contributed, reinforcing the view that arbitration and mediation are key to India’s legal and economic future. Conclusion: The Delhi Arbitration Weekend 2025 showcased a strong vision for India’s ADR future. With judicial support, institutional reforms, and global aspirations, India is positioning itself as a hub for arbitration and mediation. If the proposed reforms materialize, India could soon rival leading arbitration centers like London and Singapore. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law. Edit your profile. Log out?

The case carries implications not just for Bihar’s state elections but also for how voter lists are revised across the country. Background: The ECI launched the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) on June 24, 2025, to update Bihar’s electoral rolls ahead of assembly elections. The exercise aimed to add eligible voters, remove ineligible entries, and correct inaccuracies. However, political parties such as RJD, along with civil society groups like ADR and PUCL, filed petitions alleging that the SIR’s timelines and documentation rules could disenfranchise genuine voters, especially the poor, migrants, and those lacking proper identity documents. Key Developments: The Supreme Court has not stayed the SIR process but has issued interim directions, including recognition of Aadhaar, voter ID cards, and ration cards as valid identity documents. Petitioners have raised concerns that eligible voters’ names are being deleted merely for missing deadlines or failing to submit documents. The SC clarified that the publication of the final electoral roll (expected by September 30, 2025) will not shield the process from judicial review. Issues: Whether the ECI’s tight deadlines and documentation demands are lawful and fair. The risk of mass disenfranchisement due to procedural hurdles. The balance between ECI’s constitutional mandate and the rights of citizens to participate in free and fair elections. Current Status: The Supreme Court has scheduled the final hearing for October 7, 2025, before a bench led by Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi. The Court has made it clear that its ruling will have nationwide implications, potentially setting a precedent for all future Special Intensive Revision exercises. Conclusion: The outcome of this case could reshape how electoral rolls are revised in India. If the SC finds irregularities in ECI’s methodology, the entire revision in Bihar may be invalidated, and similar exercises across the country could come under question. This case highlights the delicate balance between administrative efficiency and safeguarding citizens’ voting rights. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law. Edit your profile. Log out?

The case involves Gagan Preet Makkad, a businesswoman from Gurugram, accused of causing the death of Navjot Singh, a senior government officer, and leaving his wife critically injured. Questions of negligence, privilege, and possible evidence tampering have pushed this case into the national spotlight. Who is Gagan Preet Makkad? A 38-year-old resident of Gurugram, Haryana. Married to businessman Parikshit Makkad; the couple has two young children. Involved in a luxury goods business (manufacturing/trading of leather saddles, seats, belts, etc.). At the time of the crash, she was travelling with her husband, children, and their maid. The Incident The accident occurred on Ring Road near Dhaula Kuan / Delhi Cantonment metro station. Victims: Navjot Singh, Deputy Secretary in the Finance Ministry, and his wife Sandeep Kaur. The couple was returning from Bangla Sahib Gurdwara on their motorcycle when Singh’s bike was allegedly hit from behind by the BMW driven by Gagan Preet. Singh died on the spot, while his wife suffered critical injuries. The BMW overturned after colliding with a divider. Key Controversies & Legal Issues Hospital choice controversy: Instead of being taken to the nearest hospitals, victims were driven over 17 km away to Nulife Hospital in GTB Nagar, reportedly linked to Gaganpreet’s family. Allegations of negligence: Sandeep Kaur alleged that she repeatedly requested to be taken to a closer hospital, but was ignored. Conflict of interest: Possible family connections between Gaganpreet and the hospital’s ownership raised suspicions of deliberate evidence tampering. Legal charges: She faces charges under the IPC, including: Culpable homicide not amounting to murder Rash and negligent driving Tampering with evidence Current Status Gaganpreet sustained minor injuries and was arrested after being discharged from hospital. The BMW (registered in her husband’s name) has been seized by police. Investigations are underway to verify her claim that she drove victims to Nulife because she was familiar with it from her children’s past COVID treatment. The case remains under active police and judicial scrutiny, with potential for wider political and institutional implications. Conclusion The crash that claimed Navjot Singh’s life has raised deep concerns over road safety, privilege, and accountability in India. As investigations progress, the case will test the transparency of law enforcement and the judiciary in handling matters where influence and connections intersect with justice.

Yet, New Delhi has been careful to balance close engagement with Washington while firmly protecting its sovereignty and strategic autonomy. Former Indian diplomat T.S. Tirumurti has often articulated this approach — emphasizing partnerships rooted in mutual benefit, but never at the cost of India’s principles. Who is T.S. Tirumurti & Context T.S. Tirumurti is a seasoned Indian diplomat who has served in key roles, including as India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations. In his speeches and interviews, he has consistently highlighted India’s approach of balancing partnerships with principles. This involves engaging constructively with major powers, including the U.S., while safeguarding sovereignty, national interest, and policy independence. Key Themes of India’s Strategy 1. Strategic Engagement with the U.S. The U.S. is a vital partner for India in trade, defence, technology, climate action, and global governance. Engagement with Washington provides access to advanced technology, investments, and diplomatic support in international forums. India seeks to strengthen these ties for mutual growth. 2. Guarding Principles & Sovereignty Despite close cooperation, India maintains clear “red lines”: Foreign policy independence (e.g., continuing relations with Russia). Domestic autonomy in areas like data protection, tariffs, and regulatory frameworks. National security priorities, which remain non-negotiable. 3. Pushback When Interests Diverge India has shown it can resist U.S. pressure where demands clash with its own interests. Examples include: Refusing to scale back energy trade with Russia despite Western sanctions. Rejecting certain trade proposals seen as harmful to local industries. Maintaining policy space in critical development sectors. Implications & Why It Matters Foreign Policy Balance: India follows a strategic autonomy model — building partnerships with the U.S. while also engaging with Russia, China, and others. Negotiation Leverage: By valuing partnership but making it clear it’s not unconditional, India strengthens its bargaining power in bilateral talks. Domestic Priorities: Protecting local industries, safeguarding development goals, and preserving policy freedom are central to India’s stance. Global Image: By holding its ground, India projects itself internationally as a country that acts on its own terms, expecting mutual respect rather than one-sided alignment. Conclusion India’s U.S. strategy, as articulated by diplomats like T.S. Tirumurti, is not about rejecting partnership but about ensuring it operates on equal terms. By combining engagement with firmness, New Delhi aims to preserve its sovereignty while advancing national interests — a model of partnership without dependency that strengthens its standing in an increasingly multipolar world.

Moscow declared that any attempt by the United States or NATO to weaken this bilateral relationship is “destined to fail,” underscoring India’s role as a sovereign actor advancing its national interests. Background & Context The tensions originated with U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to impose a 25% base duty and an additional 25% penalty on Indian goods — effectively a 50% tariff — in response to India’s continued import of Russian oil. The U.S. has further warned of potential secondary sanctions targeting countries, including India, that engage in large-scale trade and energy dealings with Moscow. Russia’s Reaffirmation & Key Messages The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement lauding India for resisting Western pressure and strengthening bilateral cooperation. Key highlights include: Russia’s assurance that the alliance is rooted in mutual respect, strategic autonomy, and national interest. Strong condemnation of U.S. and NATO efforts to obstruct ties, with Moscow declaring such moves bound to fail. Emphasis on practical collaboration — from energy supply and defence projects to civilian industries, logistics, trade in national currencies, and nuclear/space cooperation. India’s Role & Stance India has consistently defended its Russian trade policies, framing them as a matter of energy security and sovereign decision-making. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has emphasized: The “unjustified” and “unreasonable” nature of U.S. tariffs. The importance of diversifying India-Russia trade and eliminating regulatory barriers. Expansion of joint ventures and industrial partnerships to strengthen the economic base of the relationship. Implications & Strategic Signals The reaffirmation carries several implications: It highlights India’s policy of strategic autonomy, prioritizing national interest over alignment with Western sanctions regimes. It signals that U.S. attempts at economic coercion may reinforce, rather than erode, India-Russia engagement. It complicates Washington’s broader geopolitical strategy of isolating Moscow, showing that major partners like India continue to balance relations independently. Conclusion Russia’s statement is not merely symbolic — it reflects the resilience of the India-Russia partnership at a time of geopolitical strain. While U.S. tariffs and sanctions may create short-term challenges, both nations appear committed to reinforcing cooperation across critical sectors.

Despite some standout performances from Smriti Mandhana, Pratika Rawal, and Harleen Deol, the hosts were undone by lapses in the field and a dominant Australian batting effort led by Phoebe Litchfield and Beth Mooney. First Innings: India’s Strong Start, But Momentum Lost Late Toss Advantage: Captain Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and chose to bat, aiming to set a challenging target. Top Order Firepower: Smriti Mandhana (58 off 63) and Pratika Rawal (64 off 96) provided a steady 100+ opening stand. Harleen Deol added a brisk 50 off just 50 balls, keeping the scoring rate healthy. Middle & Lower Order: India faltered slightly in the middle overs, with the lower order adding handy runs through Deepti Sharma (20*) and Radha Yadav (19). Final Score: India closed at 281/7 in 50 overs, a total that looked competitive on paper. Second Innings: Australia’s Confident Chase Positive Start Despite Setback: Alyssa Healy (27) fell early, but Australia never looked rattled. Phoebe Litchfield’s Anchor Role: The left-hander played a fluent 88 off 80 balls, striking 14 boundaries, and controlled the chase. Partnership Power: Ellyse Perry scored 30 before retiring hurt with a calf niggle. Beth Mooney (77* off 74) and Annabel Sutherland (54* off 51) stitched together a calm, unbeaten stand. Finish: Australia comfortably chased down 282/2 in 44.1 overs, with 35 balls to spare. Key Turning Points Indian Fielding Errors: Dropped catches and lapses in the field eased pressure on Australia’s batters. Tight Bowling by Australia: Restricting India in the middle overs prevented the total from crossing 300+. Bowling Shortcomings: India’s attack failed to make breakthroughs, with Australia’s batters dictating the chase throughout. Conclusion India showcased strong batting intent but lacked the sharpness with the ball and in the field to truly test Australia. The visitors’ calm chase, led by Litchfield and Mooney, highlighted their superior depth and composure. With Australia going 1–0 up in the series, India will need sharper execution in bowling and fielding to bounce back in the next ODI. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law.
