Supreme Court

After the implementation of 10% reservation for economically weaker sections (EWS) of the upper caste, Gujarat becomes the first Indian state to act on the law. The state would give 10% quota to poor sections of general category in government jobs and higher education from Makar Sankranti Day, chief minister Vijay Rupani tweets.

After a controversy erupted, Supreme Court judge A.K. Sikri, who last week sided with the government in the three-member committee to remove CBI Director Alok Verma, on Sunday withdrew his "consent" to be nominated to the post of President/Member of the London-based Commonwealth Secretariat Arbitral Tribunal (CSAT).

The government is mulling appropriate action against the former Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) director Alok Verma. The Central Vigilance Committee (CVC) has submitted its report on corruption charges to the government.

The Supreme Court on Thursday deferred the Ayodhya title dispute to January 29, saying that the five judge bench to hear the case will be reconstituted as Justice U.U. Lalit has recused himself.

Possibly, the statement made by Army Chief Gen Bipin Rawat would spark controversial debate. On Thursday, 10 Jan 2019, the army chief said that the force was conservative and could not allow gays or adultery.

In a partial relief to CBI Director Alok Verma, the Supreme Court on Tuesday restored him as the agency chief by setting aside the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) and the Centre's decision to divest him of his powers to function as its head but with a caveat that he will not take any policy decision till a high-level committee goes into the issue afresh.

The Supreme court is likely to pronounce on Tuesday its verdict on a plea by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Director Alok Verma and NGO Common Cause challenging the government's decision to divest him of his charge to act as head of the investigating agency in the intervening night of October 23-24.

The Supreme Court on Thursday vacated its stay on the Centre's 2015 action seeking damages of Rs 640 crore from Nestle India limited - the manufacturer of Maggi noodles - for alleged unfair trade practices, false labelling and misleading advertisements.

Yet again, the popular Nestle brand is in danger. In a major setback, the company admitted to the presence of lead in its popular FMCG product of popular noodles. The Supreme Court, today, gave admittance by the lawyers of the company as the case was being heard.

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that a consensual sex between a live-in couple cannot be tagged as rape if a man fails to marry a woman due to reasons beyond control.
