MCO Legals - Meharia & Company

28/08/2026

MCO Legals (Meharia & Company) is proud to have successfully represented Mumbai Port Trust Authority before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, challenging Bombay High Court’s judgment which had upheld National Commission for Scheduled Castes’ Order to grant consequential benefits and to pay arrears to an employee belonging to the Scheduled Caste category.

The Supreme Court clarified that the Commission does not possess adjudicatory powers under Article 338 of the Constitution and cannot issue binding directions in service matters - the Commission's role is recommendatory and advisory in nature, and not that of an adjudicatory body empowered to determine rights or grant enforceable relief.

The team before the Hon’ble Supreme Court was led by Mr. Amit Meharia, Managing Partner and assisted by Mr. Abinash Agarwal, Associate Partner and Mrs. Priya S. Bhalerao, Associate.

Arguments were advanced by Mrs. Rekha Palli, Senior Counsel.

MCO's Knowledge Bank's Case Study - https://lnkd.in/dstxQWUu written by Ms. Bhavna Sharma.

The right to a fair trial guaranteed by Article 21 of the Constitution does not license any kind of weaponizing of the digital footprint of the accused or the right to deny the survivor informational privacy. It thus breaks away from the obsolete concept of the 'perfect victim' and supports current perceptions of trauma, as well as current notions of governance in the workplace, by considering the fact that structural authority cannot be used to exploit the subordinate, or the institution's authority cannot be used to protect the perpetrator.

MCO's Knowledge Bank's Case Study - Cyber Law: Series 3: Issue 1 - Hate Speech, Procedural Remedies, and Separation of Powers - Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay Vs UOI written by Ms. Bhavna Sharma.

Judicial intervention to address and prevent hate speech and rumor-mongering across India but the ultimate remedy against hate speech is the creation of a collective Constitutional conscience grounded in the Preamble's ideals of fraternity and fundamental duties. For lasting peace in society, citizens, public figures, and the media should actively demonstrate restraint, take responsibility for the effects of their words, and avoid divisive attitudes.
