  "summary": "The Supreme Court has made several recent rulings. In one, a minority view on the Bench, comprising Justices B.V. Nagarathna, Dipankar Datta, and Ujjal Bhuyan, stated that re-evaluating a 1978 judgment on the definition of 'industry' was unwarranted. Justice Nagarathna cautioned that altering the definition could create uncertainty and disrupt industrial peace, according to The Hindu.\n\nIn another development, Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, was moved to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad for medical tests as per the Supreme Court's order. Khan, who has been in jail since 2023 and is suffering from several health problems, including an eye condition, was transferred to the hospital. His supporters gathered near the hospital to show their support.\n\nThe Supreme Court has also questioned the classification of English as a non-indigenous language under the Central Board of Secondary Education's revised 3-language policy. A Bench, including Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, noted that the status of English in India may require constitutional examination given its historical roots and use as an official language by several States, as reported by Live Mint.",
