3 judgments from the Supreme Court and Gauhati 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 The note spoke of a job hunt, not dowry: the Supreme Court quashes a dowry-death case against a Toronto husband A bride of two and a half years jumped from a Toronto apartment block. Her note blamed a failed job search. Her father's FIR, filed after her death, alleged dowry. The Court's reasoning shows what a 304B charge needs before it can survive, and how far a High Court may look at the record when asked to quash. 
Gauhati High Court No scheduled offence, no proceeds of crime: Gauhati High Court grants PMLA bail in an IPL betting case The ED said an IPL betting syndicate had layered crores through shell firms. The High Court asked a prior question: which scheduled offence produced the money? Without an answer, the twin conditions of Section 45 were met and the accused walked out. 
Delhi High Court Thirty years of simple imprisonment under POCSO Section 6 was the wrong kind of sentence before it was the wrong length The conviction stood. What fell was a sentence that gave a POCSO offender the one description of imprisonment the statute does not allow, and a length the trial court never really justified.
