Can there be a situation in India where there will be no president as per law? whether the same law applies to vice president cite law on point.

🖥️📲 ♿ AMAR JAIN v. UoI

The principle of substantive equality demands that digital transformation be both inclusive and equitable. As already pointed out, persons with disabilities encounter unique barriers in accessing online services due to the lack of accessible websites, applications and assisted technologies. Similarly, individuals in remote or rural areas often face poor connectivity, limited digital literacy and the scarcity of content in regional languages, effectively denying them meaningful access to e-governance and welfare delivery systems.

RATIO:

In such circumstances, the State's obligation under Article 21 read with Articles 14, 15 and 38 of the Constitution must encompass the responsibility to ensure that digital infrastructure, government portals, online learning platforms, and financial technologies are universally accessible, inclusive and responsive to the needs to all vulnerable marginalised populations.

Bridging the digital divide is no longer a matter of policy discretion but has become a constitutional imperative to secure a life of dignity, autonomy and equal participation in public life.

THE RIGHT

:
The right to digital access therefore emerges as an instinctive component of the right to life and liberty, necessitating that the state proactively design and implement inclusive digital ecosystem that serves not only the privileged but also the marginalised and those who are being historically excluded."

SAJHUDHEEN v. SUB INSPECTOR OF POLICE 2025 KER HC

Sole testimony of wife capable of conviction?

"...it is to be noted that, in cases relating to domestic violences, it is not prudent to look for independent corroboration for the evidence of a victim, particularly when the incidents of domestic violence including ill-treatments and harassments often occur within the confines of a house. Therefore, I am of the view that there is nothing wrong in relying on the solitary evidence of PW1 in entering into a conviction, provided the evidence is convincing and reliable". 

What does not constitutes Cruelty
" In essence, not every instance of harassment and ill-treatment amounts to cruelty. Only those acts that fall within the 1st and the 2nd limb of the explanation to Section 498-A, defining cruelty, would qualify as acts of cruelty for the purpose of Section 498-A of IPC. Petty quarrels between spouses in a family do not amount to cruelty. Such disagreements are inherent to family life, as husbands and wives, being human, are prone to differences of opinion and trivial verbal altercations. These natural occurrences, by themselves, do not amount to cruelty. Likewise, a single instance of harassment generally does not constitute an offence under Section 498-A of the IPC. However, it cannot be said in absolute terms that a series of acts of cruelty is always needed to prove cruelty. A single act may suffice for a conviction under Section 498-A of IPC, if it is severe enough to meet the legal definition of cruelty".

👨‍⚖️ SIVANANDAN v. ANI 2025 (KER HC)

1. SECTION 68 EVIDENCE ACT:
The proviso to Section 68 of the Act, 1872, mandates the requirement of examining the attesting witness, if the gift deed is denied by the executant.
(Surendra Kumar v. Nathulal, 2001)

2. ARTICLE 61 LIMITATION v. SECTION 60 TPA
No doubt, the period of limitation for redemption of mortgage is governed by Article 61 of the Limitation Act 1963. However, the said provision must be read along with Section 60 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. The right of redemption is a statutory right and can be extinguished only by the stipulations contained under the proviso to Section 60. Proviso to Section 60 says that the right conferred under the section can be extinguished by the act of the parties or decree of a court. It must be remembered that when the right of redemption is curtailed on the ground that the suit is not filed within 30 years from the date of mortgage, then the same will be in conflict with proviso to Section 60 of the Act of 1882.

"In the absence of any suit for foreclosure, going by the principle, once a mortgage is always a mortgage, the right to redeem the mortgage continues until a decree for sale is passed in a suit for foreclosure and that the property is put for sale upon a final decree being passed. Therefore, the trial court as well as the first appellate court erred egregiously in holding that the suit for redemption of mortgage was time barred

3. REGISTRAR CAN BE A WITNESS?
There is no bar under Section 123 of the Act, 1882, for a Registrar to be an attesting witness, provided he has signed the gift deed with the required animus” (Animus Attestandi)

#Tip@CurrentLegalGK

As law students, advocates, judges, professors, law officers ot is very important for us to not rely on the headlines of Any News Agency whether it is purely law centric or not.

At times when we are deeply devoted to news consumption we start giving much reliance to them therefore this Fundamental aspect must always be in active position while reading anything.

Similar thing goes with judgments when we read any judgment we should keep in mind the basic laws in the form of statutes or landmark judgments.
