As Chief Justice DY Chandrachud gets ready to retire on November 8, the Supreme Court is about to hand down some major rulings that could change the game across various sectors. With just 15 working days left, all eyes are on a bunch of important issues that have been simmering.
Minority Status for AMU
One hot topic is whether Aligarh Muslim University can get minority status under Article 30 of the Indian Constitution. This decision will clear up what rights educational institutions have to run themselves, especially for minorities based on religion or language.
Changing Recruitment Rules Mid-Process
Another case on the table is about whether it’s okay to change recruitment rules halfway through the hiring process, specifically in Rajasthan. This could really mess with job seekers who have already done all the exams. The ruling will decide if these changes can affect their chances of getting hired.
Assam National Register of Citizens
There’s also the challenge against Section 6A of the Citizenship Act, which relates to citizenship rights for folks who entered Assam between 1966 and 1971. This has huge implications for people’s citizenship status, and a ruling here could spark some serious debate.
Regulation of Industrial Liquor
Another big question is who gets to regulate industrial liquor—the states or the central government? This decision is crucial for revenue, impacting both state and national budgets.
Wealth Redistribution
And let’s not forget about wealth redistribution under Article 39(b). This case will dive into whether the government can requisition and redistribute private property for the common good, looking at the balance between property rights and social equity.
Other Significant Cases
On top of all that, the Supreme Court will tackle other urgent matters like the financial mess with Byju’s and the safety of medical staff in hospitals. There’s also some talk about pension issues affecting judges that need to be sorted out before things get too wild.
Overall, it’s a busy schedule for the Supreme Court as they work through these important cases before Chief Justice Chandrachud steps down. These rulings aren’t just legal; they could really shape public policy and societal norms going forward.
