The Supreme Court of India will host the Commonwealth judges’ conference for the first time, but without Pakistan and Bangladesh. A senior official said both countries were excluded due to strained diplomatic relations as judges meet to discuss judicial cooperation.
The Supreme Court said execution of Letters Rogatory from foreign courts cannot override India’s sovereignty while hearing Pfizer’s appeal in a patent dispute with Softgel Healthcare. Issuing notice to Softgel, the Court said it will settle the law on judicial assistance, reciprocity, and comity of courts.
