Supreme Court Verdicts

The Supreme Court has been active in recent times, making several key rulings. *Retrospective environmental clearance rules have been quashed*, which is expected to have a significant impact on businesses and projects. The Court has also *cleared former PM Manmohan Singh's name* in a coal scam case, nearly two years after his death. Some key points from the rulings include:
- The Supreme Court has quashed retrospective environmental clearance rules, in a major green verdict.
- The Court has set aside a trial court's order summoning former PM Manmohan Singh in the coal block case, citing no justification for the trial court to take cognizance ignoring the CBI's closure report.
- The Court has granted bail to two UAPA accused who have been in jail for 12 years, citing slow trial as a violation of Article 21.
- The Delhi High Court has ordered the winding up of Paytm Payments Bank after the RBI cancelled its licence.
