Week of 26 April 2026

This week predates the archive, and was rebuilt afterwards from the legal press's own record — the headlines, dates and outlets are theirs and unaltered, but nobody was watching that week as it happened. Every entry links to the report it came from.

The Supreme Court’s directive on summary judgment in commercial suits under Order XIII-A CPC emerged as this week’s most consequential procedural clarion call, threading through its multifaceted engagements with hate speech, insolvency, and transparency. Concurrently, the Court affirmed no legislative vacuum on hate speech, as both High Courts of Karnataka and Madras grappled with related cases, while the latter also mandated a CBI probe into a transformer procurement scam — signaling heightened judicial scrutiny of governance. On insolvency, the Supreme Court and NCLT separately confined corporate debt mechanisms under IBC Section 7, rejecting debt recovery shortcuts and permitting simultaneous proceedings against borrowers and guarantors, even as the Court itself raised alarms over NCLT delays via suo motu action.
