Supreme Court Roundup: Key Decisions from Stray Dogs to Digital Arrests

The Supreme Court began its week by advising the Centre to consider Justice Surya Kant for the role of Chief Justice of India, following the current Chief Justice Bhushan Ramkrishna Gavai's recommendation. This pivotal suggestion heads the court's comprehensive agenda for the day.

In a firm stance, the court criticised multiple states and union territories for not complying with requirements in the stray dogs case, highlighting international embarrassment over unresolved incidents. Additionally, the Supreme Court announced its inclination for the CBI to investigate digital arrest cases due to their widespread impact.

Further headlines included the court's decision to deny bail to activists linked to the Delhi riots, a reconsideration of Vodafone Idea's financial obligations from 2016-17, and a refusal to entertain a PIL for a vehicle star-rating system aimed at reducing pollution. These decisions underscore the court's influential role in shaping national policy and public discourse.
