Nupur Sharma Case law?[edit]

@Venkat TL & @Kautilya3

First of all, it's not good for law related articles to be heavily dependent on newspaper reports.

Have you studied definition of Case law ? if not then please do study. In case of Case law a final judicial judgement has to come and then used in future cases as reference or precedent. (It is some thing like one should be able to write an entire article or research paper on a judicial judgement and how it is applied in future cases.) Nupur Sharma case is far from stage of case law as of the day, May be you want to use some other heading for the section.

Thanks

@Bookku Article has just been started and it is far from perfect. It follows the layout of Section 294 of the Indian Penal Code Venkat TL (talk) 06:27, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Venkat TL: Sorry my co–Wikipedian, Case law section is far from ideal law related section even in Section 294 of the Indian Penal Code it is kind of miss–leading Wikipedia audience ; I suppose, as Wikipedians, we do have high moral responsibility before referring some thing as case law. Until one does not have practice in writing law related topics prefer law related recent books written by legal luminaries. Unfortunately many important standard Indian legal jurisprudence platforms are very pay walled. Still some books keep becoming available on google books etc. First start from legal jurisprudence books, then latest law journals, then see jurisprudence articles on credible law related web sites, then supreme court lawyer writings in news paper then once you are used to then you will get which law related journalist give proper coverage in news paper and which one miss. Usual political news related Reliable source standard is not necessarily enough for law topics IMHO.

I hope this helps and happy editing Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' (talk) 06:44, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article on Section 295 across countries[edit]

Shouldn't there be an article on Section 295 beyond just one country? Like the article on Section 377?
