        Justice Pushpa Ganediwala  Justice Pushpa Ganediwala of Bombay High Court Nagpur Bench tendered her resignation after the Collegium of Supreme Court did not elevate her as permanent Judge. The judgement given by justice Pushpa Ganediwala on January 15, 2021 in the case Libnus Kujur Vs State of Maharashtra was seen as much controversial and subsequently overruled by the Supreme Court. Her interpretation in the case regarding sexual assault against a minor as skin to skin was criticised widely.  When the judgements are not good, it must be criticized and discussed. But is it okay to criticize a judge personally? "To error is the human being." We shouldn't judge the capability of a judge on his/her single judgement or dicision.  When decisions are handed down, some people say they are right and some say they are wrong. These are the people's opinions and they have the right to hold them. Everyone has their own opinion and perspective, and it must ...

We all are aware of the modifications in the Criminal Law System after the Nirbhaya Case. There are various protections given to victims of sexual assault through various legislations. The most crucial right in case of a victim of sexual assault is her privacy. If it is a child, eventually she may grow up to be a lady by the time the case comes up for hearing. In such a case, revealing the name of the victim can lead to stigma and social shame. The victim may have already gone through a series of counselling and support sessions to move on with her life, at the time of the incident. Now when the case comes up, she has to face the trial within herself and the society first, and then again face the trial in the court. That is the reason many cases of sexual assault go unreported. Many times the families don’t accept such victims, and many times, inspite of rehabilitation and support, they are exposed to vulnerabilities and further exploitation. A strong support system is required for suc...

  This ranking was based on the total cryptocurrency received, the amount of the virtual currency moved in transactions under $10,000, and peer-to-peer (P2P) trade volume.  Finder, a US-based research platform, surveyed nearly 47,000 users worldwide, and  30 per cent of those surveyed in India  said that they owned crypto.  Finder’s report said  Bitcoin is the most popular coin in India followed by Ripple, Ethereum, and Bitcoin Cash.  The company also mentioned that India’s “huge expatriate population” makes it the world’s number one remittance recipient in the crypto space.  WazirX, the largest crypto exchange by trading volume in India , said last week that it had seen more than 2,648 per cent growth in user sign-ups from Tier I and Tier II cities in India.

  “Law without justice is wound without care.” Introduction Public Interest Litigation(PIL) is a legal measure that can be initiated in a court of law. It can be in the interest of a nebulous entity or case in which the public or class of the community has a pecuniary interest or some interest by which their legal rights or liabilities are affected. It is the power given through judicial activism. Any citizen can approach the court by filing litigation under Article 32 of the Constitution to the Supreme Court, under  article 226  of the Constitution to the High Court, and under  Section 133 of CRPC  to the Court of Magistrate. The efforts of Justice P.N.Bhagwati and Justice V.R.Krishna Iyer played a key role in bringing this juristic revolution. The principles enshrined in  Article 39A (Equal justice and free legal aid)  of the Constitution are in consonance with the concept of PIL. PIL can be filed against the state or central government, municipal au...

  Introduction Shayara Bano, 35, took on the practice in 2016, a year after her 15-year-old husband divorced her via triple talaq. Bano's petition was paired with those of four other Muslim women: Afreen Rehman, Gulshan Parveen, Ishrat Jahan, and Atiya Sabri. Some Muslim organizations consider the issue as a question of religious freedom, while others, such as the Centre, see it as unconstitutional. Background of the Case Rizwan Ahmed was Shayara Bano's husband for 15 years. He divorced her in 2016 with an instant triple talaq (talaq -e bidat). She asked the Supreme Court to declare three practices – talaq-e-bidat, polygamy, and nikah-halala – unlawful since they contradict Articles 14, 15, 21, and 25 of the Constitution. On February 16, 2017, the Court requested written responses from Shayara Bano, the Union of India, several women's rights organisations, and the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on the issues of talaq-e-bidat, nikah-halala, and polygamy.
