Karnataka Govt Introduces Fake News Bill Bengaluru, July 2025 — Karnataka has proposed the Mis-Information and Fake News (Prohibition) Bill, 2025, aiming to curb fake news on social media with penalties of up to 7 years in jail. A state-level authority led by the Kannada and Culture Minister will oversee enforcement. Critics warn the Bill’s vague definitions may threaten free speech, while supporters see it as a step against digital misinformation. The move follows a Bombay High Court ruling calling for judicial oversight in content regulation.

Angadi Chandranna v. Shankar (April 2025) In this case, the …

Angadi Chandranna v. Shankar (April 2025) In this case, the Court clarified the distinction between self-acquired and ancestral property under Hindu law, especially in the context of post-partition acquisitions. It held that property acquired by a family member after partition is presumed to be self-acquired, unless it is proven that joint family funds were used or there was an intention to blend it with the joint family estate. The Court emphasized that mere cohabitation or shared use of property does not imply blending. To convert self-acquired property into joint family property, the owner must clearly express the intention to do so — generosity or family ties do not suffice. The burden of proof lies with the person alleging blending. The decision also noted that the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, which confers coparcenary rights to daughters, does not affect self-acquired property unless it retains its ancestral and undivided nature. This case reinforces the principle that legal ownership must be backed by intention and evidence, thereby protecting self-acquired property from vague or emotional claims in joint family disputes.

Vihaan Kumar v. State of Haryana, 2025 INSC 162 (Date of decision:7-2-2025) In this case, Vihaan Kumar was arrested for serious criminal charges but challenged the arrest, saying the police didn’t tell him why he was being arrested, violating Article 22(1) of the Constitution. He also said he was handcuffed and chained to a hospital bed, which insulted his dignity under Article 21. The Supreme Court found that the police failed to properly inform Vihaan about the reason for arrest, which is a basic right guaranteed by the Constitution. It said just telling his wife or making vague diary entries wasn’t enough. Also, chaining him in the hospital without justification was inhuman and unconstitutional. The Court ruled that such a flawed arrest couldn’t be fixed by later legal steps like remand or chargesheets. It ordered Vihaan’s immediate release and asked the Haryana government to issue clear rules against such treatment in hospitals. The judgment strongly upheld the importance of personal liberty and dignity.

As humanity's ambitions stretch beyond Earth's atmosphere, new legal and ethical challenges arise in the unexplored realm of space.
