Consumer forum orders Zomato to pay customer ₹8,250 for cancelling food orders worth ₹250

Consumer forum orders Zomato to pay customer ₹8,250 for cancelling food orders worth ₹250 A Delhi consumer disputes redressal commission directed Zomato to pay over ₹8,250.61 to a customer for unilaterally cancelling two food orders worth ₹250.61, which were ordered for a family birthday celebration [Manoj Kumar v Zomato Private Limited]. A coram of President Sanjay Kumar and Members Nipur Chandna and Rajesh passed the order on May 11, 2026. The consumer forum directed Zomato to refund the amount of the cancelled orders with interest, besides paying ₹5,000 as compensation for the mental agony, harassment and humiliation suffered by the complainant and ₹3,000 towards litigation costs. The complaint was filed by one Manoj Kumar, a Zomato Gold customer, who had placed five separate food orders through the platform in August 2024, for his niece's birthday celebration. While three orders were delivered successfully, two orders worth ₹146.73 and ₹103.88 were not delivered. Kumar submitted that Zomato cancelled the two orders on the ground that his phone was “not reachable”. He also alleged that Zomato had refused to refund the amount and cited cancellation charges. The Commission was not convinced by Zomato's claim that Kumar was unreachable.

Wife cannot be expected to follow husband like pug in Vodafone ad: Madras High Court

Wife cannot be expected to follow husband like pug in Vodafone ad: Madras High Court A wife cannot be expected to follow her husband wherever he goes like the pug (dog breed) in the Vodafone ad, the Madras High Court recently observed while dealing with a matrimonial dispute. Likewise, a husband cannot always take along a wife with him when he has to shift for employment, the Court said. A Division Bench of Justices GR Swaminathan and MD Sumathi made the remark while rejecting a family court view that husband had breached marital obligations by moving to another city for work without taking his wife along. "It may not always be feasible to take the wife along. Suppose the husband is a soldier, it is not possible to set up a marital home in the army barracks. She cannot be expected to conduct herself like the pug in the unforgettable vodafone ad," the Court said. It made the observations while setting aside a Sivagangai family court order that had dismissed the husband’s divorce petition. The husband had alleged that his wife was in an adulterous relationship.

Preventing Dalits from entering temple on caste grounds amounts to untouchability: Madras High Court

Preventing Dalits from entering temple on caste grounds amounts to untouchability: Madras High Court The Madras High Court has held that preventing a person belonging to a Scheduled Caste from entering a temple on casteist grounds amounts to the practice of untouchability and violates the fundamental right guaranteed under Article 17 of the Constitution [Sundaram Vs District Collector]. Justice D Bharatha Chakravarthy said that no person can be denied entry into a temple or prevented from participating in a temple festival on the basis of caste. "If any person prevents another person from entering the temple on casteist grounds, particularly if a person belonging to a Scheduled Caste is prevented from entering the temple, such an act would amount to the practice of untouchability and would constitute a violation of the fundamental right guaranteed under Article 17 of the Constitution of India,” the Court said. The Court added that a person responsible for such an act would be liable to be prosecuted in accordance with law. The observations came in a petition filed by V Sundaram seeking equal representation for members of the Milagu Kattan Adidravidar Community in the Arulmigu Muthu Mariamman Temple chariot festival at Ramanayakkanpalayam in Salem district. Sundaram sought directions to the district authorities to ensure that members of the community were permitted to participate in the festival on an equal footing with other sections. He also sought directions against certain private respondents from preventing their participation. During the hearing, the Tamil Nadu government informed the Court that a peace committee meeting had already been held and that everyone had been permitted to participate in the festival irrespective of caste or creed.

SC uses special powers to quash CJP FIRs. What's Article 142 used for Babri land?

SC uses special powers to quash CJP FIRs. The Supreme Court invoked its exclusive special power under Article 142 of the Constitution to quash FIRs against protesters in the CJP-led agitation. The same "complete justice" power was used in the Ayodhya verdict to allot land for a mosque. Here's more about how the special power works, and if it's limitless. "A wrong committed must be remedied," the Supreme Court said in 2019 as it invoked Article 142 to order the allotment of five acres of land in Ayodhya for a mosque after awarding the disputed site for the construction of the Ram temple. Four years later, in 2023, the Supreme Court used the same extraordinary and exclusive power to dissolve marriages that had irretrievably broken down, even though that was not expressly recognised as a ground for divorce under Marriage Act. The Supreme Court on Monday invoked Article 142 to quash FIRs against students and youths who participated in the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led protests over the NEET-UG 2026 question-paper leak. The protests were led by the CJP, which subsequently called off its proposed September 5 march in Delhi.

'No complaint, no insult': MP denies nod to prosecute BJP neta for Col Qureshi remarks

'No complaint, no insult': MP denies nod to prosecute BJP neta for Col Qureshi remarks BHOPAL: MP govt has finalised a five-point reply explaining its decision not to grant sanction to prosecute senior cabinet minister Kunwar Vijay Shahover his controversial remarks on Army officer Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, who gained prominence during the media briefings on Operation Sindoor. The reply is likely to be submitted before the Supreme Court in the next few days after being vetted by legal experts, the chief secretary and the chief minister’s office. The state cabinet headed by chief minister Mohan Yadav had on Aug 25 decided against granting sanction to prosecute Shah. The recommendation was subsequently sent to governor Mangubhai Patel, who approved it late Monday. The govt’s response, prepared after the governor endorsed the cabinet decision, states that no person came forward to lodge a complaint against Shah following his controversial remarks. It also argues that the minister did not name Col Sofiya Qureshi in his statement, subsequently apologised several times, and did not intend to insult anyone. No sanction as no one filed any complaint yet: MP on Vijay Shah case Shah’s remarks neither disturbed communal harmony nor were made with any such intention, the govt further reasons. On Monday, additional solicitor general K M Nataraj, appearing for the state govt, had informed an SC bench headed by CJI Surya Kant that the SIT had completed its probe in the matter and a chargesheet would be filed once the sanction for prosecution, pending before the competent authority, was received.
