IMPORTANT POINT
Murder – If two reasonable conclusions are possible on the basis of evidence on record, Appellate Court should not disturb findings of acquittal recorded by Trial Court on the ground that another view was also possible. ,16 Jan 2026
Supreme Court of India
IMPORTANT POINTS
(1) Murder – Where judgment of acquittal is found to be manifestly erroneous, perverse, or founded on a misreading of evidence or incorrect application of law, Supreme Court would be justified to set aside acquittal and record conviction.
(2) Motive assumes significance, primarily in cases based on circumstantial evidence – Where there is direct evidence in form of a credible and trustworthy dying declaration, absence of strong proof of motive is not fatal to prosecution case.
(3) Dying declaration need not be made in expectation of immediate death – Conviction under Section 302 IPC can rest solely on a dying declaration if it is found to be voluntary, truthful and reliable – Corroboration is not a rule of law but one of prudence – Law does not prescribe any rigid form for recording dying declaration. ,15 Jan 2026
Supreme Court of India
IMPORTANT POINTS
(1) Liability to maintain widowed daughter-in-law – Any widow of son of a deceased Hindu is a dependant within meaning of Section 21 (vii) of Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956 and is entitled to claim maintenance under Section 22 of Act.
(2) Denial of maintenance to one category based on a fortuitous circumstance based solely on timing of husband’s death, which is beyond their control is manifestly arbitrary and violative of guarantee of equality before law under Article 14 of Constitution.
(3) Interpretation of Statute – Judges must take the words as they are and give them their natural meaning, unless controlled or altered by context or preamble – Courts cannot correct or supply an assumed omission in statute, as Legislature is presumed to have intended what it has expressly stated.

Supreme Court of India
IMPORTANT POINTS
(1) Res Judicata – Principle of res judicata applies also as between two stages in same litigation.
(2) Impleadment of necessary party – Vendor is a necessary party in a suit for specific performance of an agreement for sale, notwithstanding that vendor has transferred his interest in subject matter of agreement to a third party.
(3) There is clear distinction between non-substitution of legal representatives/legal heirs of a deceased party and non-substitution of one of heirs of a deceased party. ,12 Jan 2026
Supreme Court of India
IMPORTANT POINTS
(1) Right recourse for a person, who makes allegation of fraud in affairs of a company is to file application under Section 213 of Companies Act before NCLT upon satisfying eligibility under Section 213(a) and 213(b) of Companies Act.
(2) Cognizance is taken of an offence and not of a section under law, and at the stage of framing charges, Court may add or remove sections.
(3) Mere institution or pendency of civil proceedings between parties cannot be a ground to quash criminal proceedings.
(4) Principles of Judicial Comity and stare decisis are applicable to High Court. ,09 Jan 2026
Supreme Court of India
IMPORTANT POINTS
(1) FIR – If, on a hyper-technical ground, FIRs are quashed, High Court is duty-bound to lay down law with respect to jurisdiction that otherwise exists.
(2) When a Government Order is issued by way of clarification, there is no question of any retrospective application. ,08 Jan 2026
Supreme Court of India
IMPORTANT POINT
Automatic vacation of ad-interim injunction – Where an interim order has been granted on application made under Section 9 of Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 but no arbitral proceedings are initiated within three months from date of presentation of application, interim order shall stand vacated automatically. ,07 Jan 2026
Supreme Court of India
IMPORTANT POINT
Bail – When a person is added as accused under Section 319 Cr.P.C. and that person is ultimately arrested and prays for bail, relevant consideration should be strong and cogent evidence than mere probability of his complicity. ,07 Jan 2026
Supreme Court of India
IMPORTANT POINTS
(1) Allotment of Industrial Plot – Ordinarily, when large areas of industrial land are auctioned, overall price would be separately assessed as compared to smaller plots – Merely because selling price or financial bids made by parties vis-à-vis smaller plots were concerned was higher per square metre cannot be a reason to also expect a very high price or a similar price insofar as subject plot is concerned.
(2) Public interest cannot be used as a pretext to arbitrarily terminate contracts – An auction process has a sanctity attached to it – Decision to discard highest bid must have nexus to rationale or reason. ,06 Jan 2026
Supreme Court of India
IMPORTANT POINTS
(1) Appointment – Even if relevant rules permit competent authority to set benchmarks at different stages of recruitment process, same must be done at any time before relevant stage is reached.
(2) Appointment – Participation in a recruitment process or mere placement on merit list does not create indefeasible right to appointment – However, once a candidate has cleared written examination and found place in merit list based on announced criteria in line with extant Rules and advertisement, legitimate expectation arises that selection will be finalized based on criteria which was advertised at the time of initiation of recruitment process. ,06 Jan 2026
