(2025 INSC 948) - The central legal question before the Supreme Court was to determine liability for a motor vehicle accident: should the insurer indemnify the registered owner when the vehicle's possession was transferred to another party via an agreement, but the registration was not changed?.

Listen to the gripping case of Gurdeep Singh v. State of Punjab (2025) where the Court unravels a shocking conspiracy to free an undertrial.

This audio case file from a judgement of Supreme Court of India details an appeal regarding a rape case (S.376 IPC) that involved allegations of sexual intercourse based on a false promise to marry. The appellant, Amol Bhagwan Nehul, sought to quash the criminal proceedings against him, arguing the relationship was consensual and the complaint was malicious. The Court reviewed the facts, including the complainant's prior marriage and the timeline of events, ultimately concluding that the consent was not obtained under misconception and there was no evidence of coercion. The Supreme Court ultimately quashed the proceedings, asserting that a consensual relationship turning sour should not invoke criminal machinery, and cautioned against misusing such provisions.
