Legal News
(a) The Supreme Court of India has declared Pune Municipal Corporation & Anr. vs. Harakchand Misirimal Solanki, LNIND 2014 SC 48, to be per incuriam.

(b) The Supreme Court of India has set aside the Securities Appellate Tribunal order which held that only if there is market impact on account of sham transactions, could there be violation of the Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices Regulations.

(c) The Rajasthan High Court has also observed that since admittedly ‘Maharani Padmavati’ was never considered to be a religious figure, manifestly, the offence under Section 295A IPC cannot be invoked by any stretch of imagination.

(d) The Madras High Court has upheld the amendments prescribing 10 years of practice experience as minimum eligibility criteria to contest elections to the State Bar Council.
