India’s Supreme Court on Monday pushed for accountability over a recent spate of rape cases in the national capital and neighbouring districts, saying they reflected a “failure of law enforcement”, local media reported.

Hundreds of students protested in Delhi last week demanding better safety for women after a teenager said she was gang-raped by three men at a city park.

Protesters, most of them female, held placards and shouted slogans while marching near the crime scene.

“Our body is our own,” some placards said. Others demanded freedom to go out at night without fear.

Open Questions

  • What specific law enforcement measures will the court mandate?
  • Have suspects been apprehended in the teenager's case?

Death row inmate Huang Linkai was executed by gunfire. The Abolitionist Alliance lost the lawsuit and the ruling was confirmed.

The Alliance to Abolish the Death Penalty claimed that there were temporary sanctions and retrial procedures at that time, and filed an administrative lawsuit to challenge the Ministry of Justice's approval of the execution as illegal. The Supreme Administrative Court recently rejected the protest and the entire case was confirmed.

Lawyers remind relatives that the handling of property between relatives must be written in black and white. Donations with burdens and clauses to prevent unfilial piety are key

In response to a dispute over the gift of a house to half-sisters, the court revoked the gift and ordered the return of 340,000 yuan because the recipient had harmed the donor’s biological father. Lawyer He Haoyuan pointed out that the handling of property between relatives should be based on written contracts, and explained the applicable conditions for burdened gifts and civil law anti-filial piety clauses, and reminded that cash transactions need to retain written evidence to avoid the difficulty of proof.

The driver of a large truck in Kaohsiung had a slight collision without knowing it. The judge found that the vibration was difficult to transmit to the front of the vehicle and revoked the penalty.

A large truck driver in Kaohsiung slightly collided with a car in Zuoying District last year and then drove away. The police fined him NT$3,000 for a hit-and-run incident and suspended his driver's license for one month. The driver claimed he had no knowledge. After investigating the evidence, the Kaohsiung High Administrative Court determined that the structure of the large truck made it difficult for vibrations to be transmitted to the front of the vehicle, and that there was no intention to escape subjectively. The original punishment was revoked.
