The Supreme Court of India is set to make a significant ruling on the criminality of marital rape, despite the Centre's silence on the matter. Additionally, the Supreme Court has sought the Centre's response on hybrid hearings in the Central Information Commission and land acquisition cases. The Centre has also been asked to provide details next week regarding the collegium's recommendations on the appointment of chief justices in several high courts. The state of Jharkhand has filed a contempt plea against the Centre for delays in appointing a Chief Justice for its High Court.
