On Thursday, the Delhi High Court addressed crucial legal matters, emphasizing the need for educated adults to discern the implications of failed consensual relationships, stating that such relationships shouldn't be criminalized.
In a dispute with tech giant Apple over an anti-trust probe, the court heard Apple's argument against being subjected to penalties based on global turnover for alleged anti-competitive practices.
Further, IndiGo was asked to report on compensations for stranded passengers due to a mass flight cancellation, and the court conceded that labeling hypertension as a lifestyle issue isn't sufficient to deny a disability pension to an IAF veteran.
