NEW DELHI: Today, 8th April: The Supreme Court has ruled that Governor R.N Ravi’s delay and refusal to give assent to 10 bills passed by the state legislature — including two passed during the AIADMK regime — was “illegal” and “arbitrary”. This judgment has been called a “historic verdict” by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin.
A court in Koppal sentenced 101 individuals to life imprisonment for the 2014 arson attack on Dalit hutments, marking one of the largest mass convictions for caste-based violence in India. This ruling underscores the judiciary’s commitment to accountability and strengthens protections for marginalized communities against discrimination and violence.
