தேர்தல் வழக்குகளை விரைவாகத் தீர்ப்பது குறித்த தனது சொந்த தீர்ப்பையே உச்சநீதிமன்றம் பின்பற்றவில்லை என #சென்னை_உயர்நீதிமன்றம் கவலை தெரிவித்துள்ளது. முன்னாள் சபாநாயகர் திரு. அப்பாவு சம்பந்தப்பட்ட வழக்கில், நீதியரசர் ஜி. ஜெயச்சந்திரன் தன் ஆதங்கத்தை வெளிப்படுத்தியுள்ளார். "நீதிமன்றங்கள் தங்கள் சொந்த தீர்ப்புகளையே புறக்கணித்தால், சுமார் 75 ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்பு நம்முடன் சுதந்திரம் பெற்ற மற்ற சர்வாதிகார நாடுகளின் வழியில் நம் நாடும் சென்றுவிடும் என்று நான் அஞ்சுகிறேன்," என அவர் தன் தீர்ப்பில் எழுதியுள்ளார்.

#MadrasHighCourt has criticised the Supreme Court for ignoring its own observations on early disposal of election disputes. Justice G. Jayachandran recalled that the top court had underlined the need to resolve election disputes at the earliest while delivering its verdict in the 2015 Mohd Akbar versus Ashok Sahu case. However, when it came to Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly Speaker M. Appavu's 2016 election case, the court had kept the case pending for more than six years since October 4, 2019 and disposed it of only on May 26, 2026 that too without answering the crucial question of law involved in it. “If courts continue to ignore their own observations made in Mohd.Akbar case (cited supra), I fear that this country may also go in the way of other autocratic countries which gained Independence around 75 years ago along with us,” Justice Jayachandran wrote. @THChennai

The Supreme Court has invoked its powers under Article 142 of the Constitution and issued binding directions to all High Courts to curb delays in the pronouncement of judgments.

A bench led by CJI Surya Kant directed all High Courts to pronounce reserved judgments within three months. It ordered courts to deliver bail orders on the same day or, if reserved, on the next day.

The Court also directed immediate communication of regular bail orders to trial courts and said undertrial prisoners granted bail should be released the same day, subject to formalities.

All judgments once pronounced must be uploaded on High Court websites within 24 hours, the Court observed.

The Court further held that the date of pronouncement of the operative part of a judgment will be treated as the date of pronouncement of the judgment itself. The Court said that the High Courts are the primary institutions where thousands of people flock to seek justice and timely delivery of judgments is essential.

It clarified that the directions were not intended to cast aspersions on any individual judge or any institution.

The judgment came in a case concerning long delays in pronouncement and uploading of judgments, particularly in the Jharkhand High Court.

The Delhi High Court just ruled against Google in a trademark case that every Indian founder needs to know about!!

Hindware sued because searches for "Hindware" returned competitor ads - Cera, Grohe, above their own listing. Customers looking specifically for Hindware were being intercepted at the moment of highest intent.

The court ruled it trademark infringement. Competitor keyword bidding on your brand name is now legally actionable in India.

Search your brand name on Google right now.

If a competitor's ad appears before yours, you have a case, and your competitor has a problem.

This reshapes performance marketing in India. Keyword bidding on competitor names is standard practice across every category - beauty, fintech, edtech, D2C.

The brands doing it most aggressively are also the ones most exposed to this ruling. Let's see how this pans out.

A farewell for Hon’ble ITAT Members getting transferred…….A welcome for incoming ITAT Members……..A felicitation when a member of the Bar becomes a High Court Judge……..These are some of the finest traditions followed by ITAT Bar Associations across the country👏

In today’s fast-paced life, preserving such traditions makes the ITAT fraternity very special❣️
