Courts Check Government Actions in India

Introduction

Courts in India are looking at three important cases. They want to make sure the law is fair for everyone.

Main Body

The Supreme Court is looking at how the government picks election leaders. For a long time, there was no clear law. Now, the government has more power to pick these leaders. The judges say this is not fair. In another case, a trial about violence is too slow. The government did not bring witnesses to court for two months. The Supreme Court told the judge to finish the trial quickly and bring the witnesses. In Delhi, some leaders are not coming to court. They are boycotting the trial. The court is now picking new lawyers to help them so the trial can continue.

Conclusion

The courts are working to make sure the government follows the rules and trials happen on time.

⚡ The 'Action' Word Rule

In the text, we see words that describe things happening right now or regularly. For A2, you need to know how to describe a current situation.

Look at these patterns:

  • Courts are looking at cases. → (Happening now)
  • Leaders are not coming to court. → (Happening now/Current habit)
  • The court is picking new lawyers. → (Happening now)

How to build this: Person/Thing + am/is/are + Action-ing

Why this matters: If you say "The court pick lawyers," it sounds broken. Using is picking makes you sound like a clear A2 speaker.
