Supreme Court Cases Volume 7 Part 5: Rulings on Constitution, GST, Criminal Law

The latest volume of Supreme Court Cases (SCC) — Part 5 of Volume 7 — compiles landmark judgments addressing several key legal areas. Cases decided include those on constitutional matters, education law, taxation, and criminal procedure.

Among significant rulings: High Courts cannot exercise powers under Article 227 to reject pleadings when specific provisions exist under the CPC; schools must comply with the RTE Act and Teachers Eligibility Test requirements, subject to pending larger bench decisions; and evidence obtained through illegal means, including electronic evidence, remains admissible if relevancy and admissibility tests are strictly satisfied.

The compilation also covers GST exemptions on hostel rentals and regulations governing custody of minor children, reflecting the breadth of cases decided by India's apex court.
