Sweden’s Parliament has approved major changes to its juvenile justice framework, signalling a significant shift towards tougher criminal responses to serious youth offending. The reforms lower the age of criminal responsibility to 14 for serious offences, abolish the youth reduction for young adults, reduce the sentencing discount for offenders under 18, and raise the maximum sentence for offences committed before 18 to 18 years’ imprisonment. Most provisions are set to ente

Update: A U.S. federal judge has temporarily blocked the government’s move to terminate the parole of migrants who legally entered through the CBP One system, providing immediate relief to thousands facing sudden loss of legal status. The recent class action filed before the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts presents a deeply consequential challenge to executive immigration authority, exposing the fragile balance between administrative discreti

The case of Trump v. Barbara has reopened a major constitutional debate on birthright citizenship in the United States. At the heart of the dispute is a simple but powerful question: does being born on U.S. soil automatically make a person a citizen, or does the Constitution require something more like a deeper connection or allegiance to the country? The issue began with an Executive Order issued in January 2025, which denies citizenship to children born in the United Stat

The enactment of An Act respecting the laicity of the State by Quebec in 2019 represents a deliberate legislative effort to redefine the contours of secularism within a constitutional democracy. Unlike abstract articulations of neutrality, the statute transforms laicity into a binding legal norm, compelling state institutions to not only uphold but visibly demonstrate religious neutrality. The law declares Quebec a “lay State” and grounds this assertion in four princip

A judge of the International Criminal Court has reported being unable to use credit cards or access online services after facing U.S. sanctions linked to arrest warrants against Benjamin Netanyahu. Legally, this raises serious concerns. Sanctioning a sitting judge for judicial acts challenges the core principle of judicial independence and risks turning international law into a space influenced by geopolitical power. The move also highlights how deeply global financial syst

The Supreme Court’s decision in Anurag Krishna Sinha v. State of Bihar represents an important reaffirmation of the constitutional doctrine that arbitrariness in legislation is incompatible with the guarantee of equality under Article 14. The Court struck down the Srimati Radhika Sinha Institute and Sachchidanand Sinha Library (Requisition & Management) Act, 2015 , holding that the statute, which sought to acquire and take over the management of a historic educational inst

The Supreme Court in this case delivers a sharp rebuke against nepotism and institutional favouritism in cooperative housing allotments, reaffirming that transparency and fiduciary responsibility cannot be diluted merely because a body is structured as a registered society. What's The Matter? The dispute arose from the allotment of two “super deluxe” flats by the HUDA Employees Welfare Organization (HEWO), a society constituted ostensibly for the benefit of employees of the

The Supreme Court’s decision in Dinesh Biwaji Ashtikar v. State of Maharashtra (2026 INSC 56) is a quiet but profound reminder that the right to education under Article 21A is not meant to exist only on paper. It is a judgment that speaks less about an individual grievance that has already become infructuous, and more about a systemic constitutional failure that continues to deny children from weaker and disadvantaged sections meaningful access to schooling promised by law.

In this case the Supreme Court delivered a pointed reminder that constitutional values of equality and non-arbitrariness bind not only the executive, but judicial institutions as employers as well. The decision addresses long-standing grievances of ad-hoc employees who were denied regularisation despite being identically placed with others who received permanent status . What's The Matter? The dispute concerned several Operator-cum-Data Entry Assistants and Routine Grade Cl
