Today(on 26th April), The Supreme Court of India introduces an automated WhatsApp messaging service for legal updates, aiming to enhance accessibility for attorneys and litigants, per SCBA President Dr. Adish C Aggarwala.
The Supreme Court has directed States and Union Territories to retain their panel lawyers for at least six weeks after a change in government to prevent unnecessary adjournments in court proceedings. The directive aims to ensure the smooth functioning of courts and avoid inconvenience to litigants. This order followed a hearing of a bail plea by an individual accused of cheating in an examination conducted by the Uttarakhand government.
The Supreme Court of India has banned the mention of caste or religion in legal documents, aiming to promote equality and fairness. This decision, prompted by a marital dispute case, will affect all court proceedings. The directive ensures a more inclusive and non-discriminatory approach within the Indian legal system, aligning with constitutional principles.
