    Somewhat unrelated to the news but gave me a chuckle, but the judge ruling in favor of the decision is named Dhananjaya Chandrachud.

    The first name translates to "conqueror of wealth" and the first part of the last name is "moon." So he's literally Moon-Chud the conqueror of wealth.

      The word -chud in Chandrachud is pronounced as -choodh. It means crest. Essentially, the word means someone who has a moon crest, which is a possible reference to Lord Shiva saving the Lunar God Chandra from Daksha's curse.

      Dhananjaya is an alternative title for Arjuna, one of the five (six, if Karna is included) from the epic Mahabharata.
