3 judgments from the Supreme Court and Telangana High Court, explained for judiciary aspirants: the law behind each ruling, past exam questions on the same point, and practice MCQs.
Supreme Court A UK divorce on a ground Hindu law does not know cannot protect a second marriage: Supreme Court on bigamy A doctor lost his divorce case in Guntur, withdrew his appeal, became a British citizen, won a decree in Cambridge and remarried 33 days later. The Supreme Court let the bigamy case run against him alone, and the reasons it gave for freeing his parents and his second wife matter as much for exams as the ones it gave for holding him. 
Supreme Court A law can be valid in 2003 and doubtful in 2026: the Supreme Court sends Javed and the two-child panchayat bar to a larger bench The Court did not strike down anything. It stayed an election dispute, said the premise of a 23-year-old precedent has weakened, and handed the question upwards. 
Telangana High Court A signature matched by eye with 2007 court papers cannot prove a 2004 rent deed: Telangana High Court sets aside eviction The appellate court said the signatures 'tallied without deviation' and ordered a tenant out. The High Court asked a prior question: who had proved the deed at all? It restored the Rent Controller's dismissal.
