Introduction

Courts in India made new decisions about land, houses, and money.

Main Body

The Supreme Court says some people cannot take a dead person's money. If a person kills someone, they cannot get that person's house or land. In Punjab, a company did not give a house to a couple on time. The court told the company to pay the couple more money because they were late. Police caught people who lied about land. One man tried to steal land in Bihar. Other people stole money from a man in Mohali.

Conclusion

The courts want to stop people from lying and stealing land.

πŸ›‘ STOP & GO: The Power of 'Cannot'

In this story, we see a very useful word for A2 students: Cannot.

It is used when something is impossible or against the law.

How it works: Person β†’\rightarrow Cannot β†’\rightarrow Action

Examples from the text:

  • People β†’\rightarrow cannot β†’\rightarrow take money.
  • They β†’\rightarrow cannot β†’\rightarrow get the house.

Easy Rule: Use cannot to say 'No' to an action. It is stronger than 'don't'.

🏠 Word Pairs: Things and Places

Notice how the text groups words together. To speak better English, learn these as pairs:

β†’β†’ Land and House (Property) β†’β†’ Lying and Stealing (Bad actions) β†’β†’ Court and Police (Law people)
