How does that work?

 

Would a candidate saying that he will work for lifting for a particular community will be disqualified?

A Hindu son can divorce his wife for the cruelty of trying to pry him away from his “pious obligation” to live with his aged parents and provide shelter to them, the Supreme Court has held.

 

A woman becomes a part of the husband’s family and cannot seek to separate him from his parents for the sole reason that she wants to entirely enjoy his income, a Bench of Justices Anil R. Dave and L. Nageshwara Rao observed in a judgment.

I have personally gone through this.  Although not in India.

The Supreme Court held on Tuesday that stray dogs too have a right to live and said these could be eliminated only if they became a menace to the society.

A bench of Justices Dipak Misra and R Banumathi dismissed a plea that all stray dogs should be killed in view rising cases of dog bites over the years, even causing death of people.


The bench called for a balanced approach on the issue. It said compassion should be shown towards stray dogs but at the same time, these animals could not be allowed to become a menace to the society.


The court was hearing a bunch of pleas filed by animal rights activists as well as a group of people seeking culling of stray dogs. The activists have challenged the order passed by various civic bodies for culling of stray dogs in Kerala and Mumbai

WTF.  This supreme court is quickly turning into those old has-been out of touch uncles who have nothing better to do but to talk trash and issue orders.  Unfortunately these uncles' words carry weight.  

 

In a system of checks and balances, what is the mechanism of keeping the judiciary in check?  If the appointees are for life, by definition, these guys should be forward-thinking but conservative in their decisions - can't be going bonkers over things like Cricket administration and stray dogs.
