  • Recovery of excess payment from employee — Impermissible where excess payment is not on account of misrepresentation, fraud, or fault of the employee but due to mistake of the employer. Employee cannot be penalised for the fault committed by the employer.
  • Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 — Benevolent legislation — Just compensation — Non-filing of cross-objection or cross-appeal by the claimant will not preclude the Court from awarding just and reasonable compensation. The duty of the Court is to ensure award of just compensation irrespective of procedural technicalities.
  • A teacher holds a position of trust and responsibility. Any sexual, abusive, or exploitative act with a minor student is not just professional misconduct, but a grave criminal offence punishable under the POCSO Act, as it amounts to child exploitation and invites strict punishment.
  • Where the matriculation or equivalent certificate is available and authentic, the same shall be treated as the conclusive evidence for determination of the age of the victim/child. In such cases, no other material whether medical, documentary, or oral shall be considered for the purpose of age determination, and any deviation therefrom would be impermissible in law.
  • “In a Public Interest Litigation, when the petitioner is himself a party to disputes concerning the subject matter, and the same issue is already seized by the Court in another PIL including suo motu cognizance, the subsequent petition cannot be regarded as a bona fide public cause. Such a petition, being tainted with personal motive and vendetta, is liable to be dismissed with exemplary costs.”
  • “The academic distinction between 'murder' and 'culpable homicide not amounting to murder' has always vexed the courts. The confusion is caused if courts losing sight of the true scope and meaning of the terms used by the legislature in these sections, allow themselves to be drawn into minute abstractions.”
  • When an accused faces charges under special statutes for offences against the State, the grant of bail is ordinarily discouraged. Courts are obliged to exercise exceptional caution and a rigorous approach, weighing the seriousness of the allegations, the protection of State interests, and the statutory limitations on bail prescribed by the relevant special laws.
  • The State, being the employer, can prescribe the qualification as a condition of eligibility for a particular post and can frame Rules with regard to recruitment and service conditions, and it can be declared ultra vires only if it is enacted beyond the legislative competence of the Constitution of India or is manifestly arbitrary.
                        The equivalence of a qualification is not a matter that can be determined in the exercise of the powers of judicial review, and it is a matter for the State, as the recruiting authority, to determine.
  • One of the self-imposed restrictions on exercise of power under Article 226 of the Constitution of India that has evolved through judicial precedents is that the Courts should normally not entertain a writ petition, where an effective and efficacious alternative remedy is available.
  • Non-disclosure of reliance on past records in the second show-cause notice violates Article 311(2) of the Constitution of India, where past records are foundation of penalty.
  • Gross discrepancies and lapses by prosecuting agency deemed wholly unacceptable; Trial Courts mandated to exercise vigilant oversight over actions of prosecution and Investigating Agencies to prevent accused from deriving undue benefit from prosecutorial derelictions, ensuring a fair and impartial trial, and upholding the sanctity of Rule of Law and due process.
  • The provisions of 22 of the BNS (Section 84 IPC) will come to rescue of an accused, when he/she was not knowing that what he/she was doing, is wrong or the same is contrary to law. In order to ascertain the same, the imperative circumstances and the behavior preceding, attending and following the crime are the main consideration.
  • In evaluating the testimony of a victim of a sexual offense, the Court's approach is nuanced, recognizing the inherent trauma and potential inconsistencies in the victim's account. The Court does not require an exacting or flawless recounting of the incident. Rather, it focuses on permitting the victim to share her narrative to the best of her ability, based on her recollection of events, within the bounds of reasonable possibility.
  • As long as the registration under Section 12AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 is in existence, further enquiry about the genuineness of the activities and the purpose being charitable cannot be gone into by the Income Tax Department.
  • Only the authority expressly empowered under the statute is competent to exercise disciplinary powers. Any order passed by an unauthorized authority is without jurisdiction and liable to be set aside. Further, where there is a violation of the principles of natural justice or the impugned action is without jurisdiction, the existence of an alternative remedy does not bar the exercise of writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution.
  • The fact that a witness is deemed “hostile” does not automatically mean their entire testimony must be disregarded. While the Court will scrutinize the evidence of a hostile witness with caution, it can still be relied upon in part if it is corroborated by medical evidence or if it is corroborated by medical evidence or if certain parts of the testimony inspire confidence.
  • In a money laundering case, as the modus operandi often involves circuitous and opaque financial transactions which makes direct evidence inherently difficult to obtain, the absence of verifiable legitimate income can lead the Court to hold that there exists a nexus between the property sought to be attached and the proceeds of crime.
  • “To succeed in an application under Order 9 Rule 13 of CPC the defendant must satisfy the Court that his absence was due to a justifiable reason & unavoidable circumstances preventing his appearance”
  • In cases involving offences against the State and where an accused is charged under Special Enactments, bail cannot ordinarily be granted. The Courts are required to exercise greater caution and adopt a stricter approach while considering bail in such cases, keeping in view the seriousness of the allegations, the security of the State, and the statutory restrictions imposed on the grant of bail under such special laws.
