Chief Justice N.V. Ramana on Tuesday launched a book titled “The Gita Vijnana Upanishad,” authored by Gulab Chand Kothari. Speaking on the occasion, the CJI said “Persons belonging to any generation can find relevant answers from the Gita in times of dilemma. As per Ramana, “In the Courts, we often get to see witnesses taking oath on Bhagwad Gita. It is said that reading the Gita is equal to reading all scriptures. Mahatma Gandhi considered Gita to be his eternal mother. “India is home to mythology. Even in this modern era, India continues to be the hub of spiritualism. In fact, just the Bhagawad Gita is enough to show how great our country is. Quoting Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi, CJI Ramana said, “I confess to you that when doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and when I see not one ray of light on the horizon, I run to the Bhagavad Gita and find a verse to comfort me, and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow.” He furt

A petition was filed in the Delhi High Court by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED), challenging the trial court orders, permitting Delhi Minister Satyender Jain to be medically examined and admitted in Delhi government-run Lok Nayak Hospital. As per ED, Jain should be medically evaluated by an independent hospital like the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) or Ram Manohar Lohia because there was a likelihood of his medical report from a Delhi government hospital being tutored, since Jain is a Minister with the Delhi government. The agency further said that Jain was very much likely to get a ‘favourable’ Medical Report from Lok Nayak, since he had influence over the hospitals that come under the control of the Government of NCT of Delhi. ED has said that Jain was holding the post of the minister of health and his picture continues to be on the website of the Lok Nayak Hospital as well as on the plaque in the hospital commemorating the inauguration by Jain as the guest

Setting aside the bail condition imposed by the Allahabad High Court to seal the premises of Mohammad Ali Jauhar University at Rampur while granting bail to Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan, the Supreme Court on Friday directed the Joint Magistrate/Deputy District Magistrate, Rampur to take immediate steps to de-seal the same.

The Supreme Court permitted an unmarried woman to abort her 24-week foetus arising out of a live-in relationship, after a medical board constituted by AIIMS Delhi concluded that the pregnancy can be aborted without risk to the life of the woman. The Apex Court Bench, headed by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and also comprising Justice Surya Kant, observed that the Delhi High Court took an ‘unduly restrictive’ view of the provisions of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Rules, while declining the woman interim relief. After the 2021 amendment, the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act uses the word ‘partner’ instead of ‘husband’ in the explanation to Section 3, noted the top court of the country, stating that this showed the legislative intent to cover an ‘unmarried woman’ under the Act. The Court observed that on this basis, the petitioner cannot be denied the benefit on the ground that she was unmarried. Stating that the Parliamentary intent was not to confine the benefits to situatio
