Indira Gandhi’s Emergency | Congress strongly reacted to RSS leader’s call for a debate on removing ‘secular’ and ‘socialist’ from the Constitution’s Preamble, calling it an attack on India’s democratic foundation. The Supreme Court has already declared these values as core principles of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court expressed concern over the confusion and misapplication of laws regarding criminal breach of trust and cheating. It noted that police often file FIRs for both offenses based on mere claims of dishonesty, causing numerous injustices. The court stressed the need for proper training of police officers to understand the distinction between the two offenses.
In 1720, Rama Komathi, a wealthy and influential figure, was wrongly convicted of conspiring with a naval pirate during British rule in India. The trial, highlighted by Chief Justice Chandrachud, lacked fairness and relied on fabricated evidence. This case underscores the importance of upholding due process and reliable evidence to safeguard justice.
