A five-judge Constitution bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud will resume hearing the batch of petitions seeking legal recognition of same-sex marriage in India on Wednesday.

Hindustan TimesCovid-induced Nobel Prize is on brand
Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman received the ultimate form of scientific recognition in a relatively speedy form when they were named Nobel Prize winners in medicine on Monday for work they published 18 years ago. They realized that modifying lab-made mRNA, a molecule used for protein production, nearly stopped the body from mounting an inflammatory response. That paved the way for molecules to be designed and used as medicines, helping create vaccines for Covid-19. Typically such discoveries take a generation to turn into useful antidotes, and many never see the light of day. While the pandemic acted as a powerful solvent on the social and scientific trends to speed up the vaccines, that’s because the balance in quickly pushing for rewards at the expense of possible consequences changes when more is at stake.
