Clear teachers' dues: Delhi HC to management panel
NEW DELHI: The Delhi HC has taken strong steps in response to several petitions filed by teachers of Guru Harkrishan Public Schools (GHPS) over unpaid salaries, arrears, and retirement benefits.
In a sweeping order, the Court has laid down clear directions to ensure that the dues owed to the staff are paid without further delay.
To prevent the diversion of funds, the Court has barred the sale, lease, or transfer of two significant properties—292 acres located in Bigar, Haryana, and 15 acres in Shahdara, Delhi. These assets will remain protected until the teachers receive their full payments.
In addition, the Court ruled that all rental income earned from GHPS and Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) properties must be used solely to clear outstanding dues. Until then, the salaries and allowances of officials from DSGMC and the GHPS Society will be frozen.
Raising concern over the financial neglect, the Court pointed out that teachers are currently being paid only 2 per cent Dearness Allowance (DA), despite being entitled to 54 per cent under the 7th Central Pay Commission guidelines.

Google has handled people's deepest, darkest secrets responsibly: CEO Sundar Pichai
Google CEO Sundar Pichai was recently asked during an interview why people should trust Big Tech companies such as Google, given that these companies store their users' 'deepest and darkest secrets'. 'We earned the trust,' Pichai replied during the interview with news agency Bloomberg. 'We've been storing people's emails now for many, many years, but we've handled that content responsibly.' He went on to explain that Google has protected its users from 'bad actors' and 'unwarranted requests,' and that people trust the company because of this. On the topic of using user information for AI integration and a more personalised experience, which raises privacy concerns, Pichai said that Google is evolving these products based on user feedback. 'You know, the biggest thing people ask with Gemini and Gmail is 'why can't it write more like me?'. It's an ask we are responding to.'

He added, 'I don't think there's anyone here who is using anything they don't want to use…The reason people use Google is because they want to use it, right?' 'I think choice is good for users. Competition is good for the world. So, that's how I see it,' he concluded. Google is set to face a trial in September concerning antitrust regulators' proposals requiring the company to divest part of its advertising technology business. This move aims to address Google's dominance over the tools used by online publishers to sell ads. Regarding the recent search monopoly case, Google stated , 'We will wait for the Court's opinion. And we still strongly believe the Court's original decision was wrong, and look forward to our eventual appeal.'
