(1) In Victorian Britain, a famous lady and her confidant Charles Bradlaugh were put on trial for the 'obscene' act of publishing and selling a birth-control pamphlet. Decades before women were admitted to the English Bar, she stunned the courtroom by defending herself, asserting that it was a woman's right to decide when and if to have children. This forgotten courtroom rebellion is retold in the pictured book, written by Michael Meyer.

(2) Earlier this week, a Supreme Court Bench led by CJI Surya Kant directed the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change to frame mandatory guidelines for establishing specialized healthcare clinics across states to conduct compulsory periodic medical check-ups for certain captive animals. The apex court ordered full DNA profiling and individual medical record tracking for over 2,700 domesticated individuals serving in temples, circuses and forest departments etc.
What kind of animals are at the centre of these welfare directions?
(3) On 19 August 2026, the Supreme Court gave a two-week ultimatum to a certain agency operating under the Ministry of Defence to grant a Permanent Commission to Commandant Priyanka Tyagi- a decorated aviator who commanded the first all-women crew on a Dornier patrol aircraft.
Reprimanding the institution for drafting a "vague and arbitrary" entry policy, the apex court warned: "If you can give permanent commission to males, then why not to women officers?”- stressing that the humiliation of women officers would not be allowed.
Which law enforcement and search and rescue agency was the subject of this Supreme Court directive?
(4) During opening statements in a high-profile Las Vegas trial, defence attorney Michael Sanft employed a highly unusual strategy by urging the jury to completely disregard his own client's past recorded confessions and interviews, arguing that his client's self-incriminating claims in his memoir were fictitious "tall tales" fabricated merely for clout and profit.
His client, former gang leader Duane "Keffe D" Davis, is currently on trial for orchestrating the September 1996 drive-by shooting of which legendary hip-hop icon?
