Article 20 Doesn't Prohibit Court From Imposing Lesser Punishment As Per New Law: Supreme Court https://www.livelaw.in/supreme-court/article-20-doesnt-prohibit-court-from-imposing-lesser-punishment-as-per-new-law-supreme-court-251639

Answering in affirmative, the bench provided the benefit of the lesser sentence to be imposed on the accused/appellants by converting the sentence of the food company partner/appellant no.2 from three months imprisonment to Rs. 50,000/- only, after referring to the case of T. Barai v. Henry Ah Hoe.
โwhen an amendment is beneficial to the accused it can be applied even to cases pending in Courts where such a provision did not exist at the time of the commission of offence.โ, the Supreme ๐ฏ Court held in T. Barai v. Henry Ah Hoe.
Therefore, giving a benefit of the new Act, though it was not in force when the offence was committed, the Supreme Court gave benefit to the accused/appellants by converting the sentence of imprisonment to a just fine.

Globally, women have just two-thirds of legal rights given to men, finds World Bank Source
โ๏ธ
Notably, no country, including the most affluent economies, ensures equal opportunities for women, the latest report found. However, Indiaโs rank has marginally improved to 113, with a score of 74.4 per cent. While the countryโs score has remained constant since 2021, its ranking witnessed a decline from 122 in 2021 to 125 in 2022 and further to 126 in the 2023 index.
Indian women have just 60 per cent of the legal rights compared to men,
the document found. However, India outperformed its South Asian counterparts, where women have only 45.9 per cent of the legal protections enjoyed by men. When it comes to constraints on freedom of movement and constraints related to marriage, the country gets a full score.
India receives one of its lowest scores in the indicator evaluating laws impacting womenโs pay. To enhance this aspect, the country could explore measures such as mandating equal pay for equivalent work, permitting women to work at night on par with men and enabling women to engage in industrial jobs on an equal footing with men, the World Bank recommended.
When it comes to supportive frameworks, India scored higher than both the global and South Asian averages. The lowest indicator in frameworks was childcare and the report recommended creating a publicly accessible registry or database of childcare providers and implementing a well-defined application process for parents seeking government financial support for childcare services, among others
๐ I think the Internet has significantly reduced this gap at least in some areas like education (As we are doing here ๐) still a lot to do.

Keeping in mind the plethora of powers a High Court may exercise under its plenary jurisdiction in Article 226 of the Constitution, it becomes all the more important to maintain a semblance of propriety, albeit an illusion- to ensure the separation of powers between the executive and judiciary is prima facie maintained.
While cooling-off periods are mandated for high bureaucrats as well as a standard part of any contract involving high-level executives in corporate setups, bringing them in through Acts of Parliament may be the only way to ensure that justice is not just done, but seen to be done.
14th Law Commission Report (1958) which recommended that judges should be barred from accepting employment with the Union or the State.

SC quashes FIR over Art 370 protest: How the court relied on the 1947 Justice Vivian Bose ruling
Over the years, courts have used Justice Vivian Boseโs ruling as a yardstick to judge if any words, spoken or written, can promote enmity or disharmony between different groups.
