The Supreme Court criticized the Allahabad High Court for passing interim orders in a food distribution case despite the matter being under its review. It set aside all such orders and allowed the Uttar Pradesh government to continue the scheme while ensuring quality.
The Supreme Court Today (Jan 24) sharply criticized a man convicted under Section 498A IPC for torturing his wife over dowry and neglecting his daughters. Justice Surya Kant questioned his character, saying, “What kind of a man you are if you don’t even care for your daughters?” The Court offered relief only if he agreed to transfer agricultural land to his daughters. Convicted in 2015, his sentence was partially reduced in 2024, but the case continues to highlight serious issues of cruelty and neglect.
