1. The Supreme Court of India, in State, represented by Deputy Superintendent of Police vs. K.N. Nehru etc., has held that Lower Courts had rightly directed further investigation to verify the genuineness or otherwise of the source(s) of income of Arun and his assets and the bearing thereof, if any, on the charge leveled against the Respondents. [(2017) 3 MLJ (Crl) 364 : LNIND 2017 SC 334] Read more 2. The Madras High Court, in TTV Dhinakaran vs. Assistant Director, Enforcement Directorate, Govt. of India, has held that by this order, the Petitioner should not take advantage and protract the proceedings. Likewise, rejecting this petition would amount to denial of a reasonable opportunity of argument since framing of charges is an important event in the trial of warrant cases. In order to strike the balance between the prosecution’s objections and the Petitioner’s request, it would be appropriate to direct the Lower Court to grant one day time for the Petitioner to put forth his arguments with regard to framing of charges. [(2017) 3 MLJ (Crl) 369 : LNINDORD 2017 MAD 2588] Read more 3. The Supreme Court of India, in Ranjan Sinha and Another vs. Ajay Kumar Vishwakarma and Others, has concluded that when the First Register of Pharmacists prepared by the Registration Tribunal was published by the Government of Bihar under Section 30(4) of Pharmacy Act, 1948, the same is conclusive and any amendments by way of inclusions can be carried out till the framing of the Education Regulations by the Pharmacy Council of India. For doing this, the competent authority may take into consideration the qualifications as prescribed by Section 31 of the Act. However, after the coming into force of the Education Regulations as well as at the time of subsequent Registration, Government has to necessarily adhere to the Education Regulations. [(2017) 5 MLJ 740 : LNIND 2017 SC 303] Read more 4. The Supreme Court of India, in State of Haryana and Another vs. Dr. Narender Soni and Others, has held that the conduct of the State in issuance of the notification based on no data, formulation of the same in a day, implementation before publication in the Gazette, after publication of the NEET, reflects inadequate preparation by the State, acting more in the nature of a knee jerk reaction to situations. It does not meet the approval of the Court. The proviso to Regulation 9(IV) is not a compulsion but an enabling provision vesting discretion in the State. Any discretionary power has to be exercised fairly, reasonably and for the purpose for which the power has been conferred.

Failure to do so will make the employer liable to penalty. Penalties have got increased from a maximum of Rs. 5000 to a definite penalty of Rs. 50,000 which may extend to Rs. 1 lakh. (b) The Kerala High Court has published the merit list for selection of Munsif/Magistrates in Kerala Judicial Service wherein women outnumber men. The surpassing performance done by women in the judicial service examination is in plain contrast of the minimal representation of women in higher levels of judiciary. (c) The Supreme Court of India has asked the counsel of Medical Council of India to obtain instructions from his client on whether the students, who got high ranks despite their colour blindness, could be admitted to MBBS course. (d) In a writ petition filed by former Indian Cricketer Sreesanth against the ban and other punishments pursuant to the disciplinary proceedings initiated by BCCI against him, the Kerala High Court has set aside the life ban and other punishments imposed on him by BCCI.
