The Supreme Court of India made the headlines on 30 July 2025 by failing to hear the review petitions against its earlier rejection of the JSW resolution scheme in Bhushan Power & Steel, only in an open court hearing. The move makes proceedings in courts more transparent, and the weaker parties have a “face-to-face” platform to argue against and appeal on important corporate and financial decisions. The Court, on the same day, also expedited the appointment controversies in the Kerala universities, whose resolution, the Court asked the state government and the governor to commence. The Supreme Court also addressed itself to the process of correcting misconduct litigations against judges, thus explaining why the issues of accountability among the judges are taken seriously by the Supreme Court. All these are reflective of a vibrant judicial style of handling issues related to corporate, pedagogical and moral laws. The Supreme Court, with open reviews and greater scrutiny, provides fair play, openness and procedural rigour in reaching a high-stakes decision that has implications on the law and society in India.
