Nana Keshav Lagad
v.
State of Maharashtra 
2013

The Supreme Court laid down a proposition that the credibility of a stock witness's evidence about recovery of offensive weapons should not be shaken only because he deposed in some other case. It was further stated that each particular case should be evaluated in terms of the reliability of evidence and it does not mean that if the same witness testified on many occasions, then his deposition stands to be rejected automatically.

Section 377 of IPC cannot be applied to criminalise marital sex: Delhi High Court
https://www.scconline.com/blog/post/2025/05/21/section-377-ipc-cannot-be-applied-to-criminalise-marital-sex-dhc/

In 377 (which was read down in navtej singh johar) only non consensual is punishable and explanation II of 376 states implied consent of wife.
-----
But we should not see the marital rape exception at first glance but see the intent of offence, both rape explanation II and 377 are different, an implied consent of sexual intercourse under Rape cannot be for unnatural sexual intercourse.

What do you think?

The Veeraswami case: When can a sitting judge face an FIR? 🔗
#express_premium #jagdeep_dhankhar #supreme_court

SC held that while a judge can be considered a public servant for a corruption case to be registered against him, the sanction must come from the CJI.
Ordinarily, sanction is granted by the authority that has the power to appoint the public servant. But the SC emphasised that “there is no master and servant relationship or employer and employee relationship between a Judge and the President of India in whom the executive power of the Union is vested under the provisions of Article 53 of the Constitution.”
The inclusion of the CJI, therefore, ring-fenced the prosecution of judges against executive interference

@CurrentLegalGK

So the joke of either relief or 3 years practice on review in SC is surfacing everywhere 😁

But can an advocate directly practice in supreme court?

Mention the relevant law 👇

Ask your questions use ₹10 and invest them to clear doubts.

Use RTI for bar council and bar association both, if you are not getting authentic reliable information ASAP.

👨‍⚖️ Analysis of 3 Year Practice Rule

The main premise of this mandatory practice judgment in essence is not the experience, practical knowledge, career pushing etc.. but to let you the judge know the hardship faced by advocates, to develop core empathy.

Otherwise these 2 judges wouldn't have said this.

Justice Gavai sharing his experience stated: "We had a lawyer in Nagpur who said he could write a book on subject: '100 ways of seeking adjournment'."

Justice Masih "A very good candidate, father a very leading advocate at the District Court. But for two years, the son did not go for a day to the Court...He had two years as an advocate but then, where do we get that experience? This is what we are looking for," 

If they have said it they should have properly addressed it .


Well corruption and nepotism are at its peak in district judiciary giving a very narrow space for 1st Gen lawyers, though anyhow advocates who will not clear the exam will have to practice but the question is as regards practice certificate and its endorsement, one will get it easily by connections or money but one will have to work harder the whole purpose is defeated then where is empathy among these corrupt ones?

If HCs will make rules they will again make it unequal rules which will further complicate the situation and inequality will prevail, the whole judgment was an opportunity to make major reforms in appointment system in the bedrock of judicial pyramid (basic structure of CoI) but the core is not addressed.

Yes law students will come out of comfort zone and even if they don't become judges they will get a good headstart as advocates, the quality and competitions of advocates is going to rise.

Look for opportunities guys research, be prepared.

Legal Soft skills will help...

After judgment Will the Quality of exam and legal knowledge of candidates be the same?

Will the candidates can be easily be moulded in training?

That is the reason we are giving for exercising power under Article 142 not to impose sentence.”

Still the Socio-Legal Gap is not fulfilled.
