3 judgments from the Supreme Court and Karnataka High Court, explained for judiciary aspirants: the law behind each ruling, past exam questions on the same point, and practice MCQs.
Supreme Court A broken hyoid and a story that kept changing: the Supreme Court sustains a husband's life term on Section 106 A bride of under nine months was found dead after a night in her husband's house. His account moved from convulsions to a locked jaw to epilepsy, and the post-mortem told one story. The Court's reasoning shows how Section 106, medical proof and a false defence fit together, and where each one stops. 
Supreme Court Rescued is not rehabilitated: Supreme Court puts a clock on release certificates and bonded-labour payments A brick-kiln rescue in 2019 produced 42 release certificates, but 17 men were still waiting for their first payment in 2026. The Court answers with timelines, a uniform certificate, nodal officers and a case that stays open. 
Karnataka High Court He proposed himself as chairman: Karnataka HC quashes an Additional Land Committee the State never applied its mind to A defeated candidate wrote to the Revenue Minister, asked for an Additional Committee to regularise land in his old constituency, and named himself chairman. The notification followed his list exactly. The Division Bench decided it on a statutory precondition, not on bias, and that distinction is the exam point.
