4. Instant Triple Talaq unconstitutional
In a landmark judgment, the Supreme Court (SC) held Muslim practice of instant
Triple Talaq unconstitutional, striking it down by 3:2 majority.
Shayara Bano, a 35-year-old woman, challenged the practice in 2016, a year after
her husband of 15 years divorced her via triple talaq. According to reports, the
Supreme Court mentioned that several Islamic countries like Pakistan do not allow
triple talaq; judges questioned why it should not be abolished in India.

5. Supreme Court's Ban on the Lal Batti culture
Red beacons are synonymous with the “Raj mentality” and are the “antithesis of
the concept of a Republic”, the Supreme Court declared in 2013.
The ban, which got effective from May 1 this year, doesn’t allow vehicles of the
country’s top dignitaries such as the President, Prime Minister and the Chief
Justice of India to use the 'coveted' Lal Batti.

6. Supreme Court Recognised The Third Gender
In a landmark judgment, the Supreme Court in April 2014 recognised transgender
persons as a third gender and ordered the government to treat them as minorities.
The court also ordered to recognise them as educationally backwards and offer an
extension in jobs, education and other amenities.
The apex court also said states and the Centre will devise social welfare schemes
for third gender community and run a public awareness campaign to erase social
stigma.

7. Coal Scam Ruling
The 'Coalgate' was a massive political scandal that plagued
the UPA government in 2012. The scam came to light after
the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) accused
the government of India for allocating 194 coal blocks to
public and private enterprises for captive use in a fraudulent
manner.

8. Scrapped ban on women entering temples
Indian temples that deny or restrict women's entry undermine the fight for gender
equality and have no constitutional right to do so, the Supreme Court said in an
emphatic verdict last year.
The Supreme Court comments came days after the Shani Shingnapur temple in
western Maharashtra state opened its inner sanctum to women following a
Mumbai court ruling that it was the fundamental right of women to enter any place
of worship that allows men access.

9. Ruling On Section 377
In 2013, the apex court upheld Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which
discriminates against a section of individuals on the basis of their sexual
orientation.
Section 377 was introduced in 1860, by the British government, after being drafted
by Lord Macaulay in 1838. The court placed the onus of repealing it on the
Parliament. A writ petition, challenging Section 377 on the ground that it violates
the privacy of citizens, is still pending.
