In why case the dam has burst. Only a matter of time before foreign firms are permitted to set up shop in India to practice. This is just the trial balloon.

Could be part of the FTA negotiations without being part of the agreement IMO.

Indian companies go to london and singapore, to do settlements between themselves, law companies in those cities facilitate those settlements. gormint first encouraged Indian law firms to raise their standards and take up these kind of cases, so that Indian companies do not have to go to other countries. then gormint said, they want to develop India as a venue for legal settlements on par with london and singapore.

this track is independent of FTA.

Only 23 convictions out of nearly 10,000 cases in Delhi in the last 4 years.

A conviction rate of just 0.25%. Surely a serious Country will look into this industrial scale abuse and amend the law?

Make no mistake, the Western deep state is using Indian Judiciary to break India's family system.

Well USA won't allow Bharat to become the biggest market in the world, one can think what would be the consequences of that happening globally.
No family= no population and whatever population we would have would be financially and mentally weak/broken like their weak/broken family.
Need firm grip on IAS and IPS before you reform the judiciary.

Solicitor General of India has made some very important arguments in twitter case against sahyog portal.

yesterday he focussed on the role algorithms are playing in social media platforms.

today he focussed on twitter as a business not having same rights as Indian citizens, so they can't claim freedom on speech while being a intermidiatory which refuses to act on bad content.

there is a possibility of a landmark judgment can come out of this, main case aside if the judgment can record the role/havoc algorithms are playing, it would be great help to the nation.

interesting bit is that digipub joined the case, in favour of twitter.

TIL "chilling effect" is not just a phrase, there is a doctrine behind it with judgements to support it's contours.
