I don't know why they decided to pause uploads. Relying on Indian courts for sensible and timely judgments will only lead to grief. They do not respect precedence and judgements often depend on the judge and the people involved rather than the facts of the case.

What happened in University of Oxford v. Rameshwari Photocopy Service is pretty rare.[1] I doubt if we will see a repeat of that one.

The key factor in a high profile case is to hire the right (expensive) lawyer.

There’s one particularly notorious character whose rate card has been published online. He charges INR 1.5 million per appearance in court.

The reality is of course that then the appropriate judges will hear the case.

Rarely, if ever, will a judge recuse themselves. Strangely, this happened last week.
