The Archive · as reported

Week of 17 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.

The weekmachine-written · from the docket below

The Supreme Court’s intervention in 2020 Delhi riot case proceedings—granting interim bail to accused Tasleem Ahmed and Abdul Khalid Saifi, while Chandigarh UT challenges quashing of a similar case against AAP leaders—frames this week’s central tension between accountability and procedural review. Parallelly, the Delhi High Court escalated judicial scrutiny of political speech, serving notices to Arvind Kejriwal and others in contempt proceedings over their remarks against Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma. Courts also navigated regulatory friction: the Delhi HC stayed MCA penalties against Microsoft and LinkedIn, while Karnataka HC restrained FSSAI from restricting ashwagandha, rejecting government overreach claims. Amid these, the NCLT’s IBC-driven liquidations and asset auctions underscored unresolved corporate disputes, emphasizing the judiciary’s role in policing both institutional and individual actions within a tightening legal framework.
