NEET-UG 2026 Re-Exam: The alarm on Priya Deshmukh’s phone was set for 4:47 am. It had been set to that time since the first week of January — an odd number, she explained once to her roommate, because round numbers feel like they can be negotiated with. 4:47 cannot. You are either awake or you are not. On the morning of May 13, the alarm went off as usual. Priya, a 19-year-old from Patna preparing for NEET at a hostel in Kota, reached for her phone, silenced it, and lay still for a long moment. The previous evening, NTA had…

The Supreme Court on Friday drew a clear line between knowing about a crime and being responsible for it — a distinction that may seem obvious to many, but one that courts in India have often struggled to apply when it comes to matrimonial disputes involving the husband’s family. The judgment, delivered by a bench of Justice Sanjay Karol and Justice Augustine George Masih, arose from a case that had been dragging through the courts since 2016, when a Kerala woman filed an FIR against her husband and his family alleging cruelty, dowry harassment, and bigamy. At its heart, it…

A bench comprising Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Prasanna B Varale overturned the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s July 11, 2025 decision that had refused bail to Kumar. “Almost two years have passed since the appellant was arrested without trial having commenced and conclusion thereof nowhere being in sight. Incarceration without trial amounts to punishment,” the Court stated. Kumar was picked up on April 13,…

In a criminal appeal that has raised eyebrows across legal circles, the Chhattisgarh High Court has reduced a man’s rape conviction to attempted rape, nearly two decades after the incident occurred. Justice Narendra Kumar Vyas, presiding over a Single Judge Bench, partially allowed the appeal after determining that the accused did not penetrate the victim’s vagina. The court’s reasoning? Without penetration, the offense amounts to an attempt to commit rape rather than rape itself. The judgment modified the man’s conviction from Section 376(1) of the Indian Penal Code to Section 375 read with Section 511, slashing his sentence from seven…
