Supreme Court Rulings Reshape Finance, Labor, and Consumer Rights

Recent Indian judiciary decisions highlight heightened deference to regulators and expanded consumer protections. The Delhi High Court stressed courts must respect RBI technical rulings, while the Supreme Court examined Section 147A, barred lenders from forceful vehicle seizures, clarified the definition of “industry” affecting labor rights, and reinforced cash as legal tender after a PVR INOX dispute. Additional high‑profile legal notices involve actress Swara Bhasker’s reaction to the Ayodhya verdict and a ₹500 crore defamation claim by Disha Salian’s father.
