The Archive · as reported

Week of 10 May 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.

Supreme Court's Sabarimala Reference verdict reservation dominated the week as the 9-Judge Bench concluded 16 days of hearings. The Court simultaneously upheld acquittals under Section 50 NDPS Act due to illegal search procedures and ruled that police cannot be ordered to file chargesheets after closure reports. The judiciary also addressed professional standards with the CJI criticizing professions with fake degrees while maintaining mediclaim deductibility under the Motor Vehicles Act. The ₹30,000-crore Kapur family battle saw the Court halt steps affecting mediation while allowing simultaneous CIRP proceedings against principal debtors and corporate guarantors.
