Justice Indu Malhotra's judgment didn't break any new ground beyond the other opinions, but does include something that has been missing from our discourse on rights and their violation: an apology.

Justice Chandrachud’s judgment is the longest of the four, covering all the issues raised by the other judges in comprehensive detail.
