Week of 5 July 2026

This week predates the archive, and was rebuilt afterwards from the legal press's own record — the headlines, dates and outlets are theirs and unaltered, but nobody was watching that week as it happened. Every entry links to the report it came from.

The weekmachine-written · from the docket below

The Supreme Court dominated this week's legal landscape, addressing critical issues from the admissibility of secretly recorded spousal calls in divorce cases to the prospective application of district judge eligibility criteria. Across the judiciary, tribunals grappled with insolvency matters, with the NCLT dismissing a homebuyers' plea on interest appropriation while admitting an insolvency petition against Nirvikar Films LLP and declaring a loan-cum-pledge agreement invoked during CIRP moratorium as void. The regulatory sphere saw the MCA extend the Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme while the Supreme Court reinforced insolvency law by ruling that successful resolution applicants cannot back out after the Committee of Creditors approves a resolution plan.
