The Supreme Court of India mandated the Central Government to implement a 2022 scheme for cashless medical treatment of motor accident victims within the critical “golden hour.” Additionally, the court urged the General Insurance Council to establish an online portal by March 14, 2025, to expedite compensation claims for hit-and-run victims.
The Allahabad High Court ruled that an offense under the SC/ST Act must occur in public view to be established. The court quashed proceedings for an offense committed in a private residence, emphasizing that intentional insult or intimidation causing humiliation must be in public view. This ruling is significant in fighting caste-based violence and discrimination in India.
