1. The Court has no jurisdiction to direct the State to create or sanction posts, provide promotional avenues, or amend statutory service rules. Creation of posts, structuring of cadres, and amendment of recruitment rules fall exclusively within the executive and legislative domain.

2. When the prosecution case is marred by a vitiated identification process, absence of scientific or medical corroboration, material contradictions in key witness statements, and significant investigative lapses, the evidentiary foundation becomes too weak to sustain conviction. Even in sensitive offences, the law requires the prosecution to establish identity and participation of the accused with certainty. Where such proof is doubtful, the benefit of doubt must necessarily follow in favour of the accused.

3. While granting admissions, especially to higher and specialised courses, merit must prevail to safeguard educational standards; relaxing merit at such levels under the guise of institutional reservation or domicile reservation would risk compromising critical professional excellence.

4. A subsequent circular or administrative instruction, issued at a later point in time, cannot be given retrospective operation so as to affect or take away rights that had already accrued to a person under the earlier prevailing rules or circulars. Any such circular must operate prospectively unless it expressly provides otherwise and is legally permissible. Administrative authorities are, therefore, not justified in applying a later circular to past transactions or completed events to the detriment of the affected party.

5. Renewal of a lease is not an automatic or vested right. It remains a discretionary exercise, conditional upon the lessee’s scrupulous adherence to the terms of the original lease. A lessee found to be in persistent breach of conditions or indulging in commercial misuse cannot claim equitable consideration for renewal. In such circumstances, the writ petitioners lacks the locus to seek or enforce renewal of the lease.

6. In a case where the victim is raped and done to death, if the trial Court finds overwhelming evidence of a sexual assault on the victim, it cannot ignore the commission of rape and convict the accused solely for the murder; the judgment must take note of and record the conviction for all offences established by evidence, including sexual assault, alongside the homicidal act.

7. Benefit of Section 24(1) of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 to be given to a CCL (child in conflict with law), which removes all disqualifications attached to a conviction or criminal proceeding against him.

8. A party must firstly exhaust the statutory alternative remedy available before approaching the High Court seeking redressal of any grievance.

9. Basic ingredients of both the offences i.e. S. 302 and S. 304-B IPC operates in distinct spheres, each require appreciation of evidence from the perspective relevant to the ingredients of the respective offence

10. Plea of demurrer is a legitimate procedural tool to challenge the legal sufficiency of a claim at the outset, which is confined to pure questions of law apparent on the face of the pleadings.
