Breaking: Can Supreme Court Fix Timelines For President To Decide Bills Reserved By Governor? President Refers 14 Questions To SC Under Article 143
https://www.livelaw.in/top-stories/president-reference-supreme-court-fix-timelines-for-president-bills-reserved-governor-article-143-292229
Section 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS): A Redundant Provision
1. Introduction to Section 69 BNS
* Introduced in the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
* Criminalizes sexual intercourse based on a false promise of marriage.
* Punishment: Imprisonment up to 10 years + fine.
* Such an offence was not separately defined under the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
2. Core Legal Argument: Redundancy of Section 69
* Definitions of rape (Section 63 BNS) and consent (Section 28 BNS) are unchanged from IPC.
* False promise of marriage is already treated as "consent obtained under a misconception of fact" โ a ground that vitiates consent under Section 28 BNS.
* Therefore, such acts already fall under the definition of rape, making Section 69 legally duplicative and unnecessary.
3. Judicial Precedents Limiting Scope
* Courts have narrowed interpretation of false promise of marriage cases:
1. Anurag Soni v. The State of Chhattisgarh (2019):
* Rape charge valid only if the accused never intended to marry from the beginning.
* If intention was genuine but later changed, it does not constitute rape.
2. Rajnish Singh @ Soni v. State of Uttar Pradesh (2025):
* Complainant was in a 15-year consensual relationship, portrayed herself as wife.
* FIR quashed; held as no deceit or misconception.
3. Abhishek Arjariya v. The State of Madhya Pradesh (2025):
* Prosecutrix was already married; her consent based on false promise of marriage not protected under "misconception of fact".
* FIR and proceedings quashed.
4. Legal and Constitutional Issues
* Section 69 lacks:
* A non-obstante clause, which would have given it overriding effect.
* An exception clause in Section 63 to exclude such cases from rape.
* Potential violation of Article 14 (equality before law) due to arbitrary classification and unequal treatment of similar offences.
5. Practical Implication for Law Enforcement
* Courts are quashing such cases based on well-established precedents.
* Recommendation: Police should conduct preliminary inquiry to assess presence of a cognisable offence.
* Avoid filing charge-sheets in weak or consensual cases to prevent misuse of law and reduce judicial backlog.

Amrit Yadav v. Jharkhand 2025
Position of law is settled that though there is no fundamental right to claim reservation as Articles 16(4) and (4-A) of the Constitution of India are in the nature of enabling provisions only and do not mandate the State or its instrumentalities to
provide reservation in every selection process but inspite thereof, the Stateโs decision to not provide reservation has to be based on some quantifiable data and valid reasoning.
Read More on this topic.
But don't you think equal protection of law is a Fundamental Right which says equals blmust be treated equally and unequals unequally???
"While we are not entertaining the present writ petition, we make it clear that any attempt to spread communal hatred or indulge in hate speech must be dealt with an iron hand. Hate speech cannot be tolerated as it leads to loss of dignity and self-worth of the targeted group members, contributes to disharmony amongst groups, and erodes tolerance and open-mindedness, which is a must for a multi-cultural society committed to the idea of equality. Any attempt to cause alienation or humiliation of the targeted group is a criminal offence and must be dealt with accordingly."
Note: Imran pratapgadhi v. Gujarat says there should a preliminary inquiry w/o registering FIR if there is any offence related to freedom of speech.

Indiaโs Abstention in IMF Vote on Pakistan Loan: Explained
Decision-Making at the IMF
โถ๏ธThe IMF Executive Board consists of 25 Directors who represent member countries or groups of countries. It handles daily operational matters, including loan approvals.
โถ๏ธUnlike in the United Nations, where each country has one vote, IMF voting power reflects the economic size of each member. For instance, countries like the United States hold a disproportionately high voting share. Thus to simplify things, The IMF typically makes decisions by consensus.
โถ๏ธIn cases where a vote is required, the system does not allow a formal "no" vote. Directors can either vote in favor or abstain. There is no provision to vote against a loan or proposal.
Why India Abstained
โถ๏ธIndia abstained from the recent IMF vote on approving a loan to Pakistan not due to a lack of opposition, but because IMF rules do not permit a formal โnoโ vote.
โถ๏ธBy abstaining, India conveyed its strong dissent within the constraints of the IMFโs voting system and used the opportunity to formally record its objections.
Indiaโs key objections included:
โถ๏ธIndia questioned the effectiveness of ongoing IMF assistance, noting that Pakistan has received support in 28 of the past 35 years including four programs in just the last five without meaningful or lasting reform.
โถ๏ธIndia strongly highlighted the Pakistani militaryโs continued dominance in economic affairs, which undermines transparency, civilian oversight, and sustainable reform.
โถ๏ธIndia firmly opposed providing funds to a country that continues to sponsor cross-border terrorism, warning that such support carries reputational risks for global institutions and undermines international norms.
So PLEASE learn some basic facts before jumping on Headline on TV and headless social media experts.
