<span style="background: white;">Last Thursday, the apex court lifted a ban on the film by
Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. At the time, it said it is
the various governments' job to deal with any potential law and order issues
arising from the release of the film. That isn't the job of the court, it said.
The SC even restrained other states from issuing any order to prohibit the
screening of the film.The producers and the director of the film petitioned the
SC against the ban.</span><br style="box-sizing: initial; content: ".";" />

<b><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">A person's caste is
unalterable and can't change after marriage, the Supreme Court said on
Thursday, setting aside the appointment of a woman teacher who joined Kendriya
Vidyalaya 21 years ago taking benefit of reservation on the ground that she was
married to a Scheduled Caste man.</span></b><b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br style="content: ".";" />
<span style="background: white;">A bench of Justices Arun Mishra and M M Shantanagoudar said
the woman, who has now become vice-principal after serving two decades in the
school, was not entitled to the benefits of reservation as she was born in an
upper caste family and her caste remained so despite marrying into a Scheduled
Caste family.</span><br style="content: ".";" />
<br style="content: ".";" />
<span style="background: white;">"There cannot be any dispute that the caste is
determined by birth and the caste cannot be changed by marriage with a person
of Scheduled Caste. Undoubtedly, she was born in 'Agarwal' family, which falls
in general category and not in Scheduled Caste. Merely because her husband
belongs to a Scheduled Caste category, she should not have been issued with a
caste certificate showing her caste as Scheduled Caste," the bench said.</span><br style="content: ".";" />
<span style="background: white;">The woman was issued a caste certificate in 1991 by the
district magistrate of Bulandshahr certifying her as of Scheduled Caste. Based
on the academic qualifications and caste certificate, she was appointed as a
Post Graduate Teacher in 1993 at Kendriya Vidyalaya at Pathankot in Punjab.
During the course of her service, she completed her M.Ed.</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Two decades after her appointment, a complaint
was filed against her seeking cancellation of her appointment, alleging she had
illegally taken the benefit of reservation without belonging to Scheduled Caste
category. After conducting an inquiry, authorities cancelled her caste
certificate and Kendriya Vidalaya terminated her job in 2015. Challenging KV's
decision, she approached the Allahabad HC which dismissed her plea, and upheld
her termination. She then approached the apex court for relief.</span></b><b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">Taking into account her unblemished service of over two
decades, the SC modified the HC order and said the order of termination from
service shall be treated as the order of compulsory retirement. "While
exercising leniency, we have also kept in mind that she has neither played
fraud nor misrepresented before authorities for getting the caste
certificate... No questions were raised against her till the complaint ... came
to be lodged, even when the authorities had seen the high school certificate,
marksheet etc. showing her caste as Agarwal..." the bench said.</span></span></b><b><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

emotionally charged lecture to the most senior four SC judges about dividing

Justices denigrated the judiciary by going public with their grievances in a
press conference. He then added that they were ruining his reputation by
painting his bench as the Chief Justice's "bench of preference" for
politically sensitive cases like the Judge Loya one.</span><br />

Loya was hearing the case of the allegedly fake encounter of inter-state
