Supreme Court delivered a melange of seminal verdicts in 2023 including those that upheld the Centre's decisions to scrap Article 370, which bestowed special status on Jammu and Kashmir, demonetisation of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 currency notes, and refused to accord legal recognition to same-sex marriages.

So yes, those are the two spaces I am really liking.” Talk to us about the valuation of the market. What went through your mind when you were looking at the screen the day before yesterday?

The EPS growth seems to be doing okay, around 13-14% EPS growth for the next couple of years. So the market may give that sort of return.
