The Calcutta High Court’s Port Blair circuit bench set aside the discharge of a woman’s in-laws in a dowry harassment case, stressing that society still struggles with gender equality. The woman had died by suicide in 2021 after killing her infant daughter.
Allahabad High Court dismissed a Section 482 CrPC plea seeking to quash summoning and criminal proceedings against three News18 journalists over alleged defamatory reporting. Holding that no mini-trial is permissible at the quashing stage, the Court directed the matter to proceed to trial.
