Supreme Court Takes Center Stage with Landmark Decisions

The Supreme Court addressed several significant cases including bail pleas in the Delhi riots case, an investigation into compensation anomalies in NOIDA, mining dues in Odisha, and environmental conservation in Haryana.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court dealt with several critical cases, capturing national attention. Prominent among them was the court's reservation of its verdict on bail pleas by activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, implicated in the conspiracy charges following the Delhi riots of February 2020.

Another major development saw the Supreme Court mandate a Special Investigation Team to scrutinize higher compensation payments to farmers due to collusion with NOIDA officials, highlighting issues of governance and accountability. The court emphasized that chief executive officers and other leaders must be investigated.

Furthermore, in Odisha, the court allowed the state to seek high court intervention for efficiently resolving mining dues disputes. Meanwhile, in Haryana, it ordered the restoration of a green area disrupted for road construction, underscoring its commitment to environmental preservation.
