Adalat Brief

What changed for your company this week. India's legal press is written by lawyers, for lawyers. This reads it for you and keeps the part that lands on you.

It will not tell you what the law is, and it never invents a citation. Every line links to the report it came from — read that.

The weekmachine-written · from the docket below

Supreme Court Allows Certified Green Crackers in Delhi‑NCR for Diwali on Nov 7‑8; year‑round, the Court also declined an urgent hearing of a challenge to increased airfares, thereby leaving the airfare dispute to lower courts. It directed Rajasthan State Election Commission to reconsider activists’ plea for a voter‑awareness campaign, while ordering NBEMS to file a statement explaining why NEET‑PG questions should remain undisclosed after the exam. In parallel, the Court affirmed that prisoners transferred under the Indo‑UK agreement may seek remission, and it permitted the Supreme Court to hear advocates’ claims of police inaction following an attack, underscoring the Court’s broad reach across civil, electoral, and international transfer matters. The Delhi High Court’s refusal to stay the ban on non‑Delhi pre‑BS‑VI vehicles and the Bombay High Court’s demand for Imran Khan to apologise for protest participation further illustrate how courts are balancing regulatory enforcement with individual rights this week.

A question box that answers only from what we've published, links every claim — and says “we haven't covered that” instead of improvising.
