This week’s judicial digest covers notable rulings from the Supreme Court and various High Courts, including developments in taxation, arbitration, service law, and constitutional rights. The round-up aggregates precedent-setting decisions and emerging legal trends reported between 24 and 30 October 2026.
Highlights include a Supreme Court clarification on GST refunds for exporters, a Delhi High Court order on whistleblower protections in public procurement, and a Madras High Court directive on gender identity rights under Article 21. The Gujarat HC’s push for gender diversity in arbitrator appointments (discussed in detail elsewhere) was also part of this period’s jurisprudence.
