    Zainul vs. State of Bihar 2025 INSC 1192

    What happens when the conviction of a large group is based on vague and inconsistent evidence in a land dispute turned violent? The Supreme Court revisits constructive liability under Section 149 IPC, raising probing questions on the treatment of bystanders in unlawful assemblies. Key Takeaways: ✅ Mere presence at the scene does not establish guilt under Section 149 IPC. ✅ Courts must separate truth from embellishment and avoid convicting passive bystanders. ✅ The prosecution must prove “common object” beyond reasonable doubt for group liability. Statutes: ✅ Section 147, 148, 149, 302, 324, 323 IPC ✅ Section 27, Arms Act ✅ Section 154, 161 CrPC #SupremeCourt #CriminalLaw #Section149 #UnlawfulAssembly

    Dharmrao Sharanappa Shabadi & ors. vs. Syeda Arifa Parveen 2025 INSC 1187

    Can an oral gift (Hiba) of immovable property, claimed decades later, stand its ground against consistent documentary evidence of possession and the bar of limitation? Key Takeaways: ✅ Supreme Court clarifies that oral gifts under Mohammedan Law require clear proof of possession and mutation in revenue records to be valid. ✅ Mere oral claims or long-delayed assertions, without public acts of ownership, cannot override registered titles or established possession. ✅ The law favours those who safeguard their rights — late claims unsupported by documents face legal hurdles. Statutes/Sections Cited: * Indian Evidence Act, 1872 - Section 50, 73 * Transfer of Property Act, 1882 - Section 129 * Limitation Act, 1963 - Article 58 & 59 #PropertyLaw #SupremeCourt #EvidenceAct #LimitationAct #MuslimLaw

    Nilesh Baburao Gitte. vs. State of Maharashtra 2025 INSC 1191

    In this judgement, the Apex Court revisits the crucial principles of circumstantial evidence in criminal law. This verdict underscores the necessity of a complete and unquestionable chain of evidence before convicting an accused under circumstantial proof. Key Takeaways: ✅ The “five golden principles” of circumstantial evidence must be strictly adhered to. ✅ Absence of conclusive forensic evidence weakens the prosecution’s case. ✅ Burden of proof remains strictly on prosecution, not on the accused. ✅ Medical evidence ambiguities can create reasonable doubt. ✅ Motive must be clearly established beyond reasonable doubt. Statutes: ✅ Indian Penal Code, 1860 (Sections 302, 27) ✅ Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (Sections 8, 27, 106) ✅ Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (Section 313) #CriminalLaw #SupremeCourt #CircumstantialEvidence #EvidenceLaw

    Rajendra Singh & Ors. vs. State of Uttaranchal Etc. 2025 INSC 1193

    In this case, the Supreme Court overturned the High Court’s conviction under Section 302 IPC for murder, reinstating the Trial Court’s acquittal. Central to the judgment was the assessment of eyewitness reliability, contradictory testimonies, and the evidentiary value of weapon recovery under Sections 25, 26, and 27 of the Evidence Act. Key Takeaways: ✅ Identification of accused must be beyond doubt. ✅ Chance witnesses require cautious scrutiny. ✅ Confession admissibility under Evidence Act Sections 25-27 is limited. ✅ The High Court’s interference without perversity was erroneous. Statutes: ✅ Indian Penal Code, 1860: Section 302, 34 ✅ Indian Evidence Act, 1872: Sections 25, 26, 27 ✅ Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973: Relevant procedural provisions #CriminalLaw #SupremeCourt #EvidenceAct #JudicialReview

    K.S. Shivappa vs. Smt. K. Neelamma 2025 INSC 1195

    MINORS CAN REPUDIATE GUARDIAN CONDUCTED PROPERTY SALES, EVEN WITHOUT FILING A SUIT. If a minor, upon attaining majority, resells or otherwise demonstrates repudiation within the time limit, the prior unauthorized sale stands voidable. The judgment also underscores the necessity of proving title and personal testimony in court disputes. Key Takeaways: ✅ Minors can void unauthorized sales by conduct, not just by filing suits. ✅ Burden of proving title lies on the claimant. ✅ Power-of-attorney testimony must be based on personal knowledge. Statutes Referenced: ✅ Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 – Section 8(2), 8(3) ✅ Limitation Act, 1963 – Article 60 #PropertyLaw #SupremeCourt #MinorRightd #Guardianship #PowerofAttorney

    S . Santhana Lakshmi & Ors. vs. D. Rajammal 2025 INSC 1197 -

    What happens when a suit seeks only an injunction without asking for a declaration of title—especially amidst disputed ownership and admitted lack of possession? The Court holds that when possession and title are both contested, a plaintiff cannot merely seek injunction but must ask for a declaration of title and recovery of possession. Key Takeaways: ✅ Proving a Will does not suffice if title and possession are disputed. ✅ Plaintiffs out of possession must seek declaration and recovery, not just injunction. ✅ Injunction against alienation was maintained; liberty granted to file fresh suit for title. Relevant Statutes : ✅ Specific Relief Act, 1963 ✅ Indian Succession Act, 1925 ✅ Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 #PropertyDispute #SupremeCourt #Injunction

    The Supreme Court has delivered a significant ruling regarding the status of Nagpur's iconic Futala Lake. The Court concluded that Futala Lake is a man-made waterbody, not a statutory wetland under relevant rules. Key Takeaways: ✅ Futala Lake declared a man-made tank, not a statutory wetland. ✅ Restrictions under Wetlands (Conservation & Management) Rules, 2017, not strictly applicable. ✅ Public trust doctrine extends to man-made waterbodies. ✅ Directions for ecological maintenance and no permanent constructions within the lake.

    Imagine undertaking the project of a lifetime—building a state-of-the-art hospital—only to be blindsided by an unexpected, multi-crore fee from a government authority. This is the exact scenario that confronted Dr. Kamala Selvaraj, a medical professional who was handed a staggering demand for ₹1.64 crore by the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA). This decision strengthens protections for landowners against improper levies and clarifies the limits of planning authorities. Key Takeaways: ✅ Historical sub-division validated ✅ OSR charges not applicable below 3,000 sq. meters ✅ Strengthens checks on arbitrary planning fees Statutes: ✅ Constitution of India (Art. 136) ✅ Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971 ✅ Chennai Metropolitan Development Regulations (Annexure XX) #LandLaw #PropertyRights #SupremeCourt #UrbanPlanning
