3 judgments from the Supreme Court and MP High Court and Delhi High Court, explained for judiciary aspirants: the law behind each ruling, past exam questions on the same point, and practice MCQs.
Supreme Court Six years inside on a story nobody proved: the Supreme Court makes UP pay an acquitted undertrial A bail petition became an audit of a murder investigation. What failed at each step, where the Court's power to compensate comes from, and why the statute book still has no remedy for wrongful prosecution.
MP High Court A ₹70 plot from 1937: why a written but unregistered sale deed did not defeat a sale by delivery A Gram Panchayat argued that once a sale is written down it must be registered, whatever the value. The High Court disagreed, reconciled two of its own earlier rulings, and gave MP aspirants a full map of the ₹100 rule.
Delhi High Court The buyer couldn't prove the money, the seller couldn't prove a loss: Delhi HC splits a failed land deal A 2007 agreement for a 300-yard plot in Shalimar village. The buyer lost specific performance on readiness, but the seller still had to return every rupee. Two doctrines, one judgment, and a DJS mains problem almost line for line.
