The lack of Dalit representation in the higher judiciary is a matter of concern for diversity in the system. At the same time, there is gratitude towards the Supreme Court Collegium for focusing on merit instead of caste when making appointments. This highlights the importance of ability while also addressing the need for fairness. Balancing representation and merit remains a key challenge for the judiciary.
Today, 2nd May, the Supreme Court upheld the decision to keep the wife of a Delhi Government officer in custody. This decision comes in relation to a case involving the sexual assault of a minor, highlighting the court’s commitment to justice in such sensitive matters. The ruling reinforces the importance of thorough investigations and fair legal proceedings in cases of child abuse and exploitation. The decision expected to have broader implications for similar cases moving forward.
