‘Would not be possible to…’: SC defers marital rape hearing as CJI Chandrachud nears retirement
Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud postponed the hearing on marital rape immunity challenges by four weeks, citing time constraints before his retirement due on November 10. “In view of the time estimate, we are of the view that it would not be possible to complete the hearings in the foreseeable future,” and ordered the pleas to be listed before another bench after four weeks,” said the top court.
