Originally set for 31 July 2025, the due date was pushed to 15 September 2025 due to delays in ITR utilities and changes in filing systems. With the extended deadline now approaching, taxpayers are anxiously watching for signs of another extension. Background The extension to September was granted to give individuals and non-audit cases more time to adapt to substantial changes in ITR forms and system readiness. However, as the new deadline nears, technical glitches, slow portal responses, and late release of filing utilities continue to trouble filers, prompting fresh appeals from taxpayers, tax consultants, and professional associations for another extension. Current Status As of now, there is no official notification from the CBDT or the Ministry of Finance about extending the deadline further. Government sources indicate reluctance to prolong the filing window, stressing the need to stick to compliance timelines. Consequences of Missing the Deadline If taxpayers fail to file by 15 September 2025, they can still submit a belated return up to 31 December 2025. However, this comes with consequences: Late fee under Section 234F. Interest liability under Section 234A (if tax is outstanding). Delays in refunds. Increased chances of scrutiny by the Income Tax Department. Outlook With mounting pressure from professional bodies and taxpayers, the government may face last-minute calls to reconsider. However, unless an official extension is declared, taxpayers are advised to complete their filings before 15 September 2025 to avoid penalties. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law.

The move, made amidst intense youth-led protests, has triggered sharp opposition from Nepal’s largest political parties and legal bodies, who argue that the dissolution is unconstitutional and risks deepening the ongoing crisis. Background: Dissolution and Interim Setup The dissolution came on the same day Karki — Nepal’s first woman Prime Minister and a former Chief Justice known for her anti-corruption stance — was sworn in. Her appointment followed weeks of escalating “Gen Z protests,” initially sparked by a controversial social media ban but fueled by anger over corruption, nepotism, and youth unemployment. Fresh elections have been scheduled for March 2026, with the interim government tasked to stabilize the nation until then. Opposition from Major Parties Eight of Nepal’s leading political parties — including Nepali Congress, CPN-UML, CPN (Maoist Centre), CPN (Unified Socialist), Janata Samajbadi Party, Janamat Party, Loktantrik Samajbadi Party, and Nagarik Unmukti Party — issued a joint statement condemning the dissolution. They termed it a violation of the Constitution, specifically Article 76(2), and demanded the immediate reinstatement of Parliament. The parties insisted that the grievances of protestors must be addressed through parliamentary debate and reform, not through what they describe as “extra-constitutional maneuvers.” Legal Community’s Criticism The Nepal Bar Association (NBA) has also strongly opposed the dissolution. It called the President’s decision “arbitrary” and warned that it undermines constitutional supremacy, the separation of powers, and public trust in Nepal’s federal democratic system. According to the NBA, dissolving Parliament before its term ends is an erosion of democratic achievements that could set a dangerous precedent for executive overreach. Constitutional & Political Arguments Article 76(2) Concerns: Opposition leaders argue that the Constitution does not allow arbitrary dissolution without meeting strict conditions. Supreme Court Precedents: Critics cite earlier rulings where the Court overturned dissolutions that exceeded constitutional limits. Call for Parliamentary Mechanisms: Parties demand that protest-related grievances be resolved through established constitutional and legislative channels rather than interim executive orders. Conclusion Nepal now faces a critical juncture. While the interim government seeks legitimacy through scheduled elections, opposition parties and legal experts insist that restoring Parliament is essential to preserving constitutional order and addressing citizens’ concerns. The standoff between the executive’s push for dissolution and the opposition’s call for reinstatement underscores the fragility of Nepal’s democracy at a time when youth unrest and public distrust are already at boiling point.

His popularity as a mass hero has long been evident, but the launch of his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), signals a calculated shift into the arena of realpolitik, where fanfare must translate into votes, structures, and governance. Early Screen Rise & Mass Appeal Vijay’s journey began under his father S. A. Chandrasekhar’s direction, with Naalaya Theerpu (1992) marking his debut as a lead actor. Through the 1990s and early 2000s, he worked with celebrated directors like Vikraman, Fazil, Vasanth, and S. J. Surya, gradually transitioning from a romantic hero to a mass-action figure. Blockbusters such as Thirumalai, Ghilli, and Pokkiri cemented his “mass hero” image. His guaranteed box-office pull, loyalty-driven fan base, and ability to deliver consistent returns made him one of Tamil cinema’s most bankable stars. Transition into Political Visibility & Infrastructure Even before announcing his political plunge, Vijay carefully built visibility beyond films. His fan clubs evolved into the Vijay Makkal Iyakkam (VMI), which began grassroots welfare activities — free meals, tuition programs, blood and eye donation camps — across Tamil Nadu. This organisation, structured with booth committees and constituency-level networks, resembled a political apparatus more than a casual fan association. Vijay also shaped his image through speeches and appearances. By stressing secularism, social justice, anti-corruption, and student empowerment, he sought to bridge his cinematic persona as a saviour of the oppressed with a political identity rooted in inclusivity and reform. Formal Political Entry & Realpolitik Strategy The launch of TVK formalised Vijay’s ambitions, but it also exposed him to the hard realities of politics: Timing: He steps in at a moment when Tamil Nadu politics faces a perceived leadership vacuum. While the DMK is entrenched, critics point to complacency; the AIADMK remains weakened and fragmented. Positioning: Vijay avoids overt alliances, presenting himself as an independent force that can channel social justice values and cross-community support. Messaging: His rhetoric emphasises secularism and caste-neutral politics while steering clear of overtly communal tones. However, his ideological specifics remain ambiguous. Organisation: TVK is steadily building ground infrastructure — booth-level committees, IT wings for digital mobilisation, and cadre-based networks — to convert fan enthusiasm into votes. Risks, Uncertainties & Potential Outcomes Vijay’s entry is buoyed by charisma, financial resources, and immense popularity. Yet, challenges abound: Credibility in governance: Critics question whether a film star, however beloved, can navigate administration, coalition politics, and policymaking. Ideological clarity: Broad slogans like “social justice” and “anti-corruption” need policy depth to distinguish TVK from entrenched players. Sustained momentum: Fandom can bring crowds, but electoral success requires organisational stamina, ground logistics, and resilience in controversies. If Vijay succeeds, he could redefine Tamil Nadu politics in the tradition of cinema icons like MGR and Jayalalithaa. But failure to consolidate beyond fan bases risks reducing TVK to a fleeting experiment, absorbed into Tamil Nadu’s established political patterns. Conclusion Vijay’s journey from superstar to political leader is more than a personal gamble — it is a test of whether celebrity charisma, grassroots mobilisation, and carefully crafted messaging can disrupt Tamil Nadu’s Dravidian strongholds. His realpolitik journey has just begun, and its success depends not on the size of his fan base but on his ability to deliver clarity, competence, and credible change.

The appointment of Sébastien Lecornu as Prime Minister, following mounting governance pressures, has not eased tensions. Instead, the downgrade of France’s credit rating by Fitch and the explosive rise of the “Block Everything” protest movement have further shaken confidence in the government’s ability to restore order and stability. Background President Emmanuel Macron’s administration has been grappling with deep political fragmentation, public dissatisfaction over austerity measures, and weakening investor confidence. Long-standing grievances over governance, economic reforms, and social inequality have created fertile ground for unrest. Against this backdrop, Macron’s decision to elevate Sébastien Lecornu, a close ally and former Defence Minister, to the Prime Minister’s chair was meant to project stability, but critics argue it reflects desperation rather than renewal. Key Developments Appointment of Lecornu: Seen as a loyalty-driven move rather than a reformist change. Fitch Downgrade: France’s sovereign credit rating was cut, signaling concerns about fiscal stability. “Block Everything” Protests: Demonstrators have disrupted transport, schools, and public services, demanding rollback of austerity measures. Market Jitters: The downgrade has spurred investor caution, pressuring France’s bond yields and financial credibility. Issues Political Legitimacy: Macron’s shrinking approval ratings raise doubts about his capacity to govern effectively. Public Anger: Citizens resent rising costs of living and perceive austerity as disproportionately hurting the middle and lower classes. Institutional Fragility: Fragmentation in Parliament complicates policymaking and threatens governance continuity. Economic Pressure: The downgrade has intensified concerns about France’s debt levels and fiscal discipline. Current Status As of now, protests continue to sweep across major French cities, with unions and grassroots movements vowing to intensify disruptions. The government is struggling to balance investor reassurance with public appeasement. Despite calls for dialogue, political trust remains fragile, and the crisis shows little sign of abating. Conclusion France stands at a crossroads where political leadership, economic management, and social stability are being tested simultaneously. Lecornu’s appointment and Macron’s decisions in the coming weeks will determine whether the government can navigate the storm or sink deeper into a legitimacy crisis. Without credible reforms and genuine engagement with public concerns, France risks prolonged instability that could undermine both its domestic and European standing.

The decision followed weeks of deadly youth-led protests that forced the resignation of Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli. In a historic move, former Chief Justice Sushila Karki was appointed as the country’s first woman interim Prime Minister, tasked with restoring calm and steering Nepal toward elections. Background of the Crisis The crisis erupted after the government imposed a controversial social media ban, perceived by young Nepalis as an assault on free expression in a country already plagued by corruption, unemployment, and poor governance. Protests intensified across major cities, sparking violent clashes with security forces: 51 killed 1,300+ injured Government offices, police stations, and public property attacked It became the worst unrest since Nepal’s transition to a federal democratic republic in 2008. Resignation of Prime Minister Oli Facing mounting criticism of authoritarianism, corruption, and mismanagement, Prime Minister Oli resigned earlier in September. His departure left a power vacuum at a time of deep mistrust in traditional political parties. Appointment of Interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki To stabilize governance, leaders turned to Sushila Karki, Nepal’s first woman Chief Justice (2016–2017). Known for her anti-corruption stance and independence, she became the first woman Prime Minister of Nepal. Her appointment carried symbolic weight, especially for women and youth who see her as a figure of change. Dissolution of Parliament On 13 September, President Paudel dissolved Parliament under constitutional powers, announcing: General elections on 5 March 2026 An interim government under Karki to oversee polls A call for stability and peace before elections This is being described as a democratic “reset button” for Nepal. Life Slowly Returning to Normal After days of curfew and violent clashes: Shops reopened Traffic resumed Protest barricades were cleared But grief continued as families of victims demanded martyr status and compensation. India’s Reaction India welcomed Nepal’s decision, expressing: Hope for peace and stability Support for democratic processes Readiness to assist with transition New Delhi’s response is significant, given its influence in Nepal and concerns about China’s role. Challenges Facing the Interim Government Karki’s government faces immense hurdles: Restoring Public Trust amid youth disillusionment. Organizing Fair Elections within six months. Addressing Protester Demands for accountability, reforms, and internet freedom. Managing Regional Pressures between India and China. International Significance Democratic Test: Nepal’s young republic is under scrutiny. Regional Stability: Instability could affect India-China dynamics. Human Rights: Global calls for justice over protest deaths. UN Response: Offering assistance in monitoring elections. Public Opinion Supporters: View Karki as a clean break from corrupt elites. Skeptics: Fear her lack of political machinery may limit effectiveness. Social Media: #FirstWomanPM and #JusticeForMartyrs trend, showing both hope and anger. Analysis The dissolution of Parliament and Karki’s appointment have calmed tensions for now. Yet, deep issues—corruption, unemployment, weak institutions—remain unresolved. Without real reforms, the March 2026 elections risk fueling another cycle of disillusionment. Conclusion The 13 September decisions mark a pivotal moment in Nepal’s history: Parliament dissolved, elections announced, and Sushila Karki appointed as interim Prime Minister. Symbolism has bought temporary peace, but the real test lies ahead. For Nepal’s democracy to survive, leaders must deliver not just elections, but justice, accountability, and systemic reform in the coming months.   Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law.

The move came after weeks of youth-led protests that shook the Himalayan republic. The appointment of Sushila Karki, Nepal’s former Chief Justice, as the nation’s first woman interim Prime Minister marks both a historic milestone and a test of stability amid deepening political and social unrest. Background of the Crisis For weeks, Nepal was engulfed in protests led largely by Generation Z activists. Initially triggered by a controversial social media ban and fueled by grievances over corruption, unemployment, and governance failures, demonstrations escalated into violent clashes with security forces. At least 51 people died and more than 1,300 were injured, making it one of the most violent uprisings since Nepal’s 2008 republican transition. Mounting unrest forced Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli to resign earlier this week, creating a political vacuum. Appointment of Sushila Karki In response, the ruling coalition nominated Sushila Karki, former Chief Justice of Nepal’s Supreme Court, as interim Prime Minister. She is recognized for her integrity and anti-corruption stance. Karki had already made history in 2016 as Nepal’s first female Chief Justice. Now, she repeats history as the first woman Prime Minister, tasked with restoring public trust and calming protests. Dissolution of Parliament & Election Announcement President Ramchandra Paudel dissolved the federal Parliament under constitutional provisions. General elections scheduled: 5 March 2026. The decision is being positioned as democratic renewal, offering citizens the chance to elect new leadership. Analysts note that the interim period allows time for electoral preparations while addressing law and order. Scenes on the Ground Following the announcement: Shops reopened and traffic resumed in Kathmandu. Roads cleared after days of barricades and burning tires. A heavy security presence remained in many districts. Yet, tensions lingered as families of those killed demanded recognition as martyrs and financial compensation. One grieving father said: “My son died for justice. We will not leave until this government honors him as a martyr.” India’s Response India welcomed Nepal’s election announcement, stressing hopes for “peace, stability, and democratic renewal.” As Nepal’s largest trading partner and influential neighbor, India’s support is viewed as crucial. Observers also noted India’s concerns about China’s growing presence in the region. Public Reaction Supporters: Hailed Karki as a symbol of honesty and change, especially youth and women’s groups. Skeptics: Questioned her ability to withstand pressure from entrenched political elites without a political base. Social media: Hashtags like #FirstWomanPM trended alongside demands for deeper reforms. Challenges Ahead Restoring Order – Preventing further violence and calming unrest. Ensuring Fair Elections – Transparent polls in under six months require resources and trust in institutions. Meeting Protester Demands – Beyond elections, youth want anti-corruption reforms, jobs, and digital freedoms. Geopolitical Balance – Navigating relations with India and China while focusing on domestic stability. International Significance Nepal’s turmoil has regional and global implications: As a fragile democracy between India and China, instability could affect regional politics. Western governments (US, EU) urged accountability for protest deaths and a peaceful electoral process. Analysis Karki’s appointment is symbolic yet uncertain. While her clean image provides credibility, her lack of political machinery poses challenges. Dissolving Parliament and calling elections may reset the political system, but youth-driven unrest may persist unless systemic reforms are implemented. The protests revealed a widening generational divide in Nepal. Young citizens are increasingly impatient with corruption and traditional leadership, demanding transformative change rather than temporary fixes. Conclusion Nepal has entered uncharted political territory. The appointment of Sushila Karki, the nation’s first woman Prime Minister, and the scheduling of elections for March 2026 present both hope and uncertainty. While her leadership symbolizes renewal, the cost of this transition—lost lives, eroded trust, and strained institutions—remains high. The coming months will determine whether Nepal transforms its turmoil into democratic renewal or whether unrest resurfaces in a fragile republic watched closely by the world Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law.

Rallying protesters nationwide, Gandhi alleged manipulated electoral rolls favoured incumbents—a claim the Election Commission promptly dismissed as baseless, challenging Gandhi to formalize his concerns under statutory oath or apologize. The controversy has reignited debate over democratic safeguards and institutional impartiality amidst growing polarization. Background: In early August, Gandhi began leveling allegations of irregularities during the 2024 general election. He highlighted errors in voter registration rolls for Mahadevapura and called on ECI to investigate systemic manipulation. The Commission rejected unverified claims, citing procedural norms requiring signed affidavits and contestation deadlines. This latest flare-up has led to protests and social media campaigns organized by the Congress and aligned organizations, asserting that democratic norms are under threat. Developments and Significance: Political Polarization: The case hardened fault lines: BJP defended ECI’s conduct, while Gandhi accused it of institutional betrayal. Institutional Pressure: Questions about ECI autonomy and competence have been thrust back into the spotlight, particularly as electoral systems undergo digital transformations. Democratic Resilience: The debates come amid global concerns about democratic erosion; India’s handling may set examples regionally. Reactions: Election Commission: Declared allegations invalid unless substantiated with signed affidavits—warning Gandhi of legal consequences for defamation or slander. BJP Leadership: Accused Gandhi of conspiracy to erode trust in democracy; echoed ECI’s technical stance. Civil Society and Media: Pressed for transparency through independent audits, especially where digital systems may be vulnerable to manipulation. Analysis: Muddying the Playing Field: Accusations—even if unsubstantiated—breed mistrust and undermine voter faith. ECI’s Communication Failure: The Commission’s procedural response may alienate public sentiment—more explanation and openness might be needed. Long-Term Trust Deficit: Without reforms and responsive institutions, credibility gaps may widen—fueling populist narratives. Conclusion: India’s “vote chori” row underscores fragile trust in institutions at a moment when the world is watching. How ECI and political leaders choose to respond will deeply influence democratic resilience—not just for the upcoming vice-presidential election but for public faith across India’s vast electoral landscape.

Degrees on Protest, Justice on Hold: The Silent Crisis of Overnight Approved Law Colleges   Kashak Agarwala 14 September 2025 Introduction Fred Rodell, one of the fiercest critics of legal academia, once wrote that law schools merely grant diplomas of empty value. His words ring prophetic in light of the Shri Ramswaroop Memorial University (SRMU), Barabanki episode, where decades of regulatory apathy and days of student protests culminated in a sudden midnight recognition by the Bar Council of India (BCI). Background The crisis began when SRMU students discovered that their law courses lacked BCI recognition. On August 18, 2025, students raised concerns. By September 1, they were on the streets, demanding answers. Protests intensified the following day, leading to clashes with police, reports of students being roughed up, expelled, or detained, and fears that their degrees were worthless. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath swiftly suspended a Circle Officer, ordered inquiries into both police excesses and the university’s law programs, and promised accountability. On September 3, in a dramatic twist, the BCI granted provisional one-year approval, retroactively regularising admissions for 2023-24 and 2024-25 batches. Hours later, an FIR was filed against SRMU by the state government. Legal Framework and Precedents The timing and manner of BCI’s approval raised questions of transparency. Under Section 7(1)(h) of the Advocates Act, 1961, the BCI must recognise universities whose law degrees qualify graduates for enrolment. Rule 3 of the BCI Rules of Legal Education, 2008, mandates annual notifications of approved colleges. Section 22 of the UGC Act, 1956 restricts valid degree issuance to recognised universities. Judicial precedents reinforce this framework: BCI v. Bonnie Foi Law College (2012) upheld BCI’s pre-enrolment powers; in Gunderson v. Committee of Management Anuragi Devi Degree College (2016), the UP Court condemned unapproved admissions; and in Arulmigu Kalasalingam College of Education, the Supreme Court held degrees during withdrawn recognition periods void. False Representation and Misleading Claims SRMU worsened the crisis by misrepresenting its status. Its website falsely listed BCI approval under “Institutional Approvals,” misleading students into believing their courses were compliant. This amounted to fraud on the public, undermining trust and exposing students to irreparable harm. Students as Petitioners Before Advocates Ironically, SRMU law students’ first legal battle was not moot court but fighting for their own legitimacy. Instead of studying jurisprudence, they drafted petitions, complaints, and protest slogans—litigating their right to a recognised education in real time. Larger Implications India has over 1,700 BCI-approved law colleges producing nearly 90,000 graduates annually. Delays or lapses in recognition, as in SRMU, risk devaluing the legal profession and reducing compliance to symbolic gestures. Such failures erode confidence in regulatory systems and jeopardise careers. A Question of Priorities While the BCI strictly enforces standards for practising lawyers through Certificates of Practice and the All India Bar Examination, enforcement for institutions is sluggish and reactive. The SRMU case highlights this imbalance—students pay the price for regulatory delay while practitioners face immediate discipline. Behind Recognition: Politics and Protests The overnight approval of SRMU law courses was clearly accelerated by student agitation, political embarrassment, and administrative pressure. This raises a deeper concern: what happens to students in less prominent institutions who lack political backing or visibility? Without systemic reform, their futures remain uncertain. Current Situation As of September 3, SRMU law students have temporary relief with a one-year provisional approval, but their long-term fate depends on compliance and further regulatory review. Investigations against the university are ongoing, and questions about accountability remain unanswered. Conclusion The SRMU episode exposes structural fractures in India’s legal education system. A reactive regulator and opaque processes risk producing generations of law graduates uncertain about the validity of their degrees. Unless regulatory responsibility, transparency, and timeliness are enforced, India’s legal profession faces a slow erosion of credibility and trust.   Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law.

LEGAL JOB OPPORTUNITY AT ALL IP CARE Supreme Court Asks Courts to Decide Bail Pleas Within 2 Months of Filing   Kashak Agarwala 14 September 2025 Introduction The Supreme Court, in Anna Waman Bhalerao v. State of Maharashtra, directed that all High Courts and trial courts must dispose of regular and anticipatory bail applications within two months of filing. The Bench of Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice R Mahadevan emphasized that prolonged pendency of bail matters infringes upon constitutional guarantees of liberty under Articles 14 and 21. Court’s Observations The Court reiterated that bail applications must be decided on their merits without leaving parties in indefinite uncertainty. Long delays in disposal not only undermine the object of the Code of Criminal Procedure but also amount to a denial of justice, running contrary to constitutional ethos. Key Directions Issued The Supreme Court laid down the following guidelines:a) High Courts must ensure speedy disposal of bail/anticipatory bail pleas within two months, barring deliberate delays by parties.b) Administrative directions should be issued to subordinate courts to prioritize personal liberty cases and curb endless adjournments.c) Investigating agencies must prevent investigations from dragging unnecessarily, ensuring fair treatment to both complainants and accused.d) High Courts should ensure that no bail application remains pending indefinitely, as prolonged pendency itself is an assault on fundamental rights. Additionally, the Registrar (Judicial) of the Supreme Court was instructed to circulate the judgment to all High Courts for immediate compliance. Case Background The ruling arose from appeals by two retired revenue officers whose anticipatory bail applications had remained pending before the Bombay High Court since 2019. Despite interim protection being granted during the pendency, the High Court dismissed the pleas in July 2025, more than six years later. Freedom and Freedom of Docket The Bench acknowledged the chronic issue of docket explosion but underscored that cases involving personal liberty must always receive priority. Bail decisions should be straightforward, based on factual considerations, and not left hanging over applicants like a “sword of Damocles.” Outcome of the Present Case The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court’s refusal of anticipatory bail, noting that custodial interrogation was necessary to trace transactions, establish complicity, and prevent suppression of evidence. The Court also highlighted the appellants’ lack of cooperation despite six years of interim protection, affirming that no interference was warranted in the High Court’s judgment. Conclusion The ruling strengthens the constitutional protection of personal liberty by mandating time-bound disposal of bail pleas. While upholding the Bombay High Court’s refusal of relief in this particular case, the Supreme Court has set a binding precedent to prevent undue delays and ensure that bail applications are treated with urgency across all courts in India.   Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Logged in as Sada Law.

Despite calls for his removal, procedural delays and institutional hesitancy have left impeachment proceedings stalled, with the judge now just eight months away from retirement. Background Controversial Speech: In December 2024, at a Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) event, Justice Yadav claimed that India would be governed by the will of the majority and used language widely criticized as anti-minority. Backlash: The comments triggered outrage, with critics arguing that such statements undermine the impartiality expected of a sitting judge. Impeachment Motion Stalled Announcement: On 10 December 2024, Rajya Sabha MP and Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal declared that he would move an impeachment motion against Justice Yadav, supported by Lok Sabha MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi. Support: Within three days, 55 Rajya Sabha MPs signed the motion. The Judges Inquiry Act, 1968, requires at least 50 Rajya Sabha or 100 Lok Sabha MPs’ signatures for admission. Verification Delays: By June 2025, after verification, only 44 MPs had reconfirmed their support. The process was further stalled due to the absence of a Rajya Sabha Chairman following Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar’s retirement. The Internal Investigation That Never Occurred Supreme Court Interest: On 15 December 2024, the Supreme Court noted Justice Yadav’s speech and requested a report from the Allahabad High Court. Senior Advocates’ Letter: In January 2025, 13 senior lawyers, including Indira Jaising and Anand Grover, urged then CJI Sanjiv Khanna to act, even suggesting a CBI probe. Collegium’s Attempt: Justice Hrishikesh Roy indicated that Justice Yadav was asked to apologize. Though initially agreeable, he later refused. The Collegium began but then abandoned an inquiry in June 2025, deferring to Parliament’s jurisdiction. A Stark Contrast The sluggish response in Yadav’s case contrasts sharply with that of Justice Yashwant Varma, who was swiftly indicted after unaccounted cash was found in his home. Within four months, Parliament admitted a motion signed by 146 MPs, and an investigative panel was formed. Symbolic Roster Removal Limited Assignment: In December 2024, the Allahabad High Court restricted Justice Yadav to first-appeal cases. Reversal: By February 2025, bail matters were reassigned to him, suggesting the roster reshuffle was more symbolic than real. Conclusion: Time as the Ultimate Shield Justice Yadav’s case highlights systemic weaknesses in India’s judicial accountability. The impeachment motion is stuck in procedural limbo, the Supreme Court dropped its inquiry, and High Court measures proved temporary. With his retirement due in April 2026, time itself appears to be his strongest shield, raising serious questions about whether accountability mechanisms can ever overcome bureaucratic inertia and institutional reluctance.
