How much fee did Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud bill his client when he fought his first case in the Bombay High Court a long time ago as a legal professional, fresh out of law school?
The Supreme Court s order follows the recommendation of a medical team. - Supreme Court Allows 14-year-old Rape Survivor To Terminate 29-week Pregnancy
The Supreme Court is set to hear the plea of a 14-year-old alleged rape victim seeking permission to terminate her 28-week pregnancy. The court had earlier ordered her medical examination and sought a report on her physical and psychological condition. The girl, currently in Mumbai, is represented by counsel in court, and the government is represented by Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati. The case challenges the Bombay High Court s decision denying the termination, citing the advanced stage of pregnancy, in accordance with the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act s 24-week limit.
CJI Chandrachud called the three-year deadline for criminal trials in the new criminal laws "a breath of fresh air" while SG Mehta said that the provision for staggered custody was anti-criminal, not anti-people.
