1. Supreme Court intervention clears Uttarakhand man’s negative CIBIL score

Supreme Court intervention clears Uttarakhand man’s negative CIBIL score

Supreme Court intervention clears Uttarakhand man’s negative CIBIL score Supreme Court intervention clears Uttarakhand man’s negative CIBIL score The Supreme Court has rectified a man's erroneous negative credit score, which barred him from financial access despite no defaults. New Delhi: The Supreme Court has stepped in to resolve the grievance of a man whose credit score remained “negative” for years despite having no outstanding loan or default, prompting banks and Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited CIBIL to finally correct their records. This telling instance of how erroneous credit records can choke access to finance came up before a bench of justices JB Pardiwala and KV Viswanathan. The case arose from a petition filed by Rajendra Singh Panwar, a businessman and resident of Uttarakhand, who complained that an adverse CIBIL score had effectively locked him out of the financial system since 2020, even though he had no outstanding dues. Panwar’s plea, argued through senior counsel PS Patwalia, complained that despite not having “any loan and no default,” his credit profile continued to reflect a negative score, preventing him from availing financial facilities. The problem, he argued, was compounded by confusion over his PAN, which was shared by others with the same name, leading to apprehensions that others’ defaults were being attributed to him. Panwar submitted that two other individuals sharing his name (“Rajendra Singh”) had been issued the same PAN number. Defaults committed by these individuals were allegedly appearing in his CIBIL records, blocking access to financial facilities.

Rajasthan High Court upholds cancellation of 2021 police Sub-Inspector exam over paper leak

Rajasthan High Court upholds cancellation of 2021 police Sub-Inspector exam over paper leak In a significant decision, a Division Bench of the Rajasthan High Court on Saturday (April 4, 2026) upheld the cancellation of the police Sub-Inspector recruitment examination of 2021, while affirming an earlier order passed by a Single Judge Bench. The exam was quashed on the grounds of large-scale irregularities and paper leakage. The Bench, led by Acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma, delivered its judgment while deciding on the appeals filed by selected candidates and the State government. The court set aside the suo motu cognisance taken by the Single Judge Bench against some members of the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC). In its 211-page judgment, the Division Bench stated that there should be “no political appointments” within the Commission, and directed the State government to enact a new law governing RPSC selection, and ensure complete transparency in the recruitment processes. “The shortlisting of candidates at this stage is no longer feasible. Therefore, the Sub-Inspector recruitment examination of 2021 will remain cancelled,” the Bench ruled. The Single Judge Bench of Justice Sameer Jain had on August 28, 2025 cancelled the examination after finding large-scale irregularities, paper leakage, impersonation of candidates, and the involvement of some members of the RPSC in the scam. The examination to fill 859 vacancies of Sub-Inspectors and platoon commanders was held in September 2021.

Marital discord alone not enough for abetment charge, says Bombay High Court

Marital discord alone not enough for abetment charge, says Bombay High Court Marital discord alone not enough for abetment charge, says Bombay High Court The Bombay High Court's Nagpur bench, in its order passed last week, held that matrimonial discord is common in domestic life and suicide cannot be attributed to any of the spouses merely because there was a matrimonial dispute. It added that there has to be instigation or direct incitement from the accused to the victim to end life. A spouse cannot be accused of abetting the suicide of his or her partner merely because there was marital discord between the two, the Bombay High Court has said while quashing a case lodged against a woman for abetting the suicide of her husband. The HC's Nagpur bench, in its order passed last week, held that matrimonial discord is common in domestic life and suicide cannot be attributed to any of the spouses merely because there was a matrimonial dispute. It added that there has to be instigation or direct incitement from the accused to the victim to end life. "In such cases, it cannot be held that due to abetment from one partner the other committed suicide," the court said. The bench allowed the plea filed by a 49-year-old woman, a teacher by profession, seeking to quash the abetment of suicide case filed against her in 2019 by the Amravati police. A single bench of Justice Urmila Joshi Phalke said that in the present case both the husband and the wife had levelled allegations of ill-treatment and abuse against each other and hence at the most it can be said that the woman might have been the reason for frustration of the man.
