One of the pleas filed by advocate Satyam Singh seeks direction for constitution of judicial committee under chairmanship of former SC judge

After accepting the PIL in their file, the Court directed the government to file a detailed affidavit on their views, to hand over the full report of the Hema Committee in a sealed cover and to implead the Kerala State Women's Commission

The High Court held that “power of judicial review would not interfere with the policy decision so long as the same does not offend any provision of the statute or the Constitution of India”.

The plea stated that Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday in the money laundering case related to the alleged liquor policy

"This is important. We will keep this on board tomorrow," said a bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra after petitioner's lawyer in the case mentioned the matter for early hearing

Directing the government to rectify its behaviour, the high court gave it three weeks to file objections to the PIL. It warned that the court may have to issue orders against the government if there is further delay.

The bench headed by Justice PrasannaB. Varale and Justice Krishna S. Dixit also directed the Secretary in the Urban Development Department to personally attend the court proceedings on November 2.

The bench expressed disinclination to entertain the plea and dismissed it for want of locus standi.

The appeal against the HC judgement said it highlighted that the very objective and purpose of the 2015 Bill is to protect tiny children from exploitation and unjust discrimination in nursery admission in private schools.

The petition, filed through advocate Bharti Tyagi, also sought a direction to the Law Commission to prepare a report as well as a bill to control "Deceitful Religious Conversion".

The plea was filed following the disqualification of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as an MP
