What are the rules for summons, questioning, arrest? Can a person be silent? Can a lawyer be present? These need to be answered by the SC, and ideally should come up in today's hearing. Merely responding to what the 2 sides say in each case has led to the current situation.

The paper did not leak out, but some out-of-scope questions sneaked in!

Holding exams to limit who goes to college is itself archaic. We should be thinking afresh about how to enable a student's path of learning. Currently, exams exit more people than they let in.

In 12 years between 2003 and 2015 this is what happened to the green belt. By now there is surely more white than green. New Master Plan exercise by BDA will paint the picture.

These assured minimum facilities should be in every govt office, school, health facility and more. Not just in a polling booth on an occasional voting day.

The states' portion on taxes need not be routed through the Centre, and the question of these being withheld by the national government should not arise at all. It is a simple thing to digitally separate the states' share and directly deposit those in state coffers.

Supreme Court rules that content shown in movie trailer need not be shown in film. The judges have time for such trivia but not to settle long-standing Constitutional questions.

Supreme Court grants bail to a man jailed for 10 years while trial is still incomplete. But it does not provide guidance on such long incarceration of other undertrials. SC is not merely an appellate forum, its justice for an appellant should be for all similarly placed persons.
