#Statutory Mandate

Rajasthan High Court clarifies that Rule 10.2A mandates a bank guarantee for vehicle release after fatal accidents but limits the amount to the vehicle's market value. The ruling balances victim compensation security with proportionality, ensuring owners are not overburdened before liability is determined.

Bombay High Court rules that under Section 11(5) of the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act (MOFA), the Registering Authority is statutorily bound to register a deemed conveyance once certified, irrespective of procedural defects like non-impleadment of the owner. The ruling clarifies that registration cannot be refused on technical grounds, reinforcing the mandatory nature of the provision for housing societies.

Madhya Pradesh High Court holds that day-to-day trial is mandatory under Section 14(3) of the SC/ST (POA) Act, 1989; delays violate statutory mandate and undermine justice.
