After a seven-week summer break, the Supreme Court of India will reopen on July 8. It faces a packed agenda, including hearings and verdicts on significant cases such as the NEET-UG paper leak, the Hathras stampede, bridge collapses in Bihar, Arvind Kejriwal’s plea against his arrest in the ED case, the minority status of Aligarh Muslim University, and misleading advertisements.
A petition filed in the Supreme Court urges Bihar government to conduct a comprehensive structural audit of bridges, citing recent collapses and the state’s flood-prone nature as causes for concern. Advocate Brajesh Singh stresses the need for immediate action to ensure public safety, proposing a real-time monitoring system aligned with government guidelines.
