Bombay High Court’s Nagpur Bench has reserved its verdict on Congress leader Prafulla Gudadhe Patil’s plea challenging CM Devendra Fadnavis’ election from South-West Nagpur, raising questions over alleged violations under election law.
The Supreme Court upheld the life sentences of five convicts from a 2002 murder case, rejecting their appeal on procedural flaws and witness inconsistencies. The court emphasized the importance of eyewitness accounts, asserting that minor contradictions do not undermine their credibility. This decision reaffirms the commitment to maintaining societal order and justice.
The Supreme Court, On Dec 4, criticized the National Green Tribunal (NGT) for relying solely on a joint committee report without independent evaluation, highlighting a “glaring error.” The Court ruled that tribunals must thoroughly examine all evidence and allow parties to present their case, quashing the NGT’s order against M/s Grasim Industries for violating environmental norms.
