Supreme Court held that merely calling someone a “motherf****ker” does not amount to obscenity, clarifying the scope of Section 294(b) IPC. In a separate decision, the Court preserved the arbitration limitation period, saving parties from a maintainability trap and underscoring its role in protecting arbitration in India. The Court also urged parties to forgo live‑streaming in courtrooms after a recent courtroom ruckus, signalling a cautious approach to digital courtroom exposure. Meanwhile, the Delhi High Court granted bail to activist Khurram Parvez and journalist Irfan Mehraj in a UAPA case, while the BCI listed four law schools with expired approvals ahead of the July 31 deadline. Across the board, the week’s rulings and regulatory moves—ranging from RBI’s crypto stance to SEBI’s enforcement of investor‑profit defenses—illustrate a judiciary and regulators actively reshaping procedural norms and market conduct.
