By Advocate Karan Dua | Vintage Litigation, New Delhi | Published: August 2026 Here’s a scenario that sounds almost too strange to be real, except it happened, and it happened recently enough that it’s worth understanding in detail.

By Advocate Karan Dua | Vintage Litigation, New Delhi | Published: June 2026 Two days ago, a ruling from the Supreme Court of India went viral across every major news platform in the country.
