As a result, the single-judge bench allowed the Kerala government to approach the Supreme Court if it wished to pursue the matter further.

Adding context from public health data, the Court noted that India still reports some of the world’s highest numbers of rabies-related deaths even after decades of progress.

The petition also challenges a recent ruling by the Karnataka High Court (dated 18 August 2025), which had refused to quash the criminal proceedings against Patil.

The case involved a couple—both previously divorced—who married in January 2010 but separated within just 14 months.

In 2022, the Kerala state government overruled the Waqf Board’s directive. However, the Board challenged the decision in the Kerala High Court.

The case involved a minor charged under Sections 376 (rape) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC, along with Section 6 of the POCSO Act.

The case has now reached the SC, but it raises a crucial question: can religion ever come before duty for the Indian Army, or is discipline the only true Dharma of a soldier?
