First factor to assess if remission can be granted, as per Laxman Naskar v. UOI, is whether the offence affects the society. Bano's rape was committed with an intent to eliminate a minority community. So yes, if an act is THIS horrific, it's sufficient to hold remission as wrong.

While meeting new people (esp men) for the first time I tend to make myself as small as possible and take as little space as possible. If I don’t and am in fact my loud, opinionated self, it is always followed by guilt of being “too political” and just plain annoying

Sr Adv Meenakshi Arora has recused herself from arguing in the Manipur matter. Arora was appearing for the committee appointed by the supreme court and says that centre's affidavit consisted of direct attacks against her

Sr Adv Meenakshi Arora: We have gone through this affidavit. It seems like a direct attack towards the counsel for committee. I've not made any statements on my own again, only on the instructions on committee. Regardless, since it's a direct attack on me, I will recuse myself.

"Spoilt brats" for protesting against sexual abuse? This sends a message. Do public figures not realise the kind of chilling effect such statements would have on survivors of sexual violence?

Bajrang Punia has announced that the protesting wrestlers will dispose their medals in the Ganga. What he has conveniently not mentioned is that the Govt of India has spent more than ₹150 crore on training these wrestlers, ₹2.58 crore on him and ₹2.16 crores on Vinesh Phogat

Odd how all judges spoke of systematic discrimination faced by queer couples but decided to not only not legalise queer marriages but also leave it for an executive committee to decide upon (with no set timeframe/powers/limitations)

Sr Adv Sibal argued today that Article 370 has assumed permanence post the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly in 1957. He said that since recommendation of the Assembly was necessary to abrogate A. 370, without it, the provision could not be revoked. More details here 🔽

Another important observation by SC in its judgement upholding unmarried women's rights to seek abortions– Not only did SC recognise that "intimate partner violence can take form of rape" but also held that married women may not prove the allegation of rape to seek abortion.

I remember reading "every noble cause claims its martyr" in Supreme Court's judgement upholding demonitisation. If the cause of imposing these Rs 2000 notes had been that "noble", their circulation wouldn't have been withdrawn now.
