Rajasthan HC stays arrest warrant against Jaipur Development Commissioner
Rajasthan high court JAIPUR: The Rajasthan High Court has put a temporary hold on the bailable warrant issued against Jaipur Development Commissioner Anandhi by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Jaipur-II. The High Court decision came after a petition was filed challenging the warrant, which was issued despite the JDC being represented by legal counsel before the Commission. In the latest hearing, counsel for the petitioners argued that the presence of the petitioners through their lawyer should have been sufficient to satisfy the Commission. The lawyer maintained that there was no deliberate disobedience of the Commission's order and that efforts were already underway to comply with its directives. Taking this into account, the High Court issued notice to the complainant and directed that responses be submitted within two weeks. It further ordered that, until the next hearing, the bailable warrant against the petitioners would remain in abeyance. The original case stems from an order passed by the District Consumer Commission on November 10, 2023, directing the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) to refund Rs 2,02,613 to complainant Raj Singh Ajmera, a resident of Jhotwara. The amount was to be returned with 9% annual interest, along with Rs 40,000 for inconvenience caused. The Commission found that the JDA failed to follow the order even after a legal notice was issued on January 25, 2024. On this basis, the Commission issued an arrest warrant for JDC Anandhi, rejecting a plea from her counsel for more time. The Commission instructed the Jaipur Police Commissioner to ensure her appearance before it by December 18. That order, however, has now been temporarily stayed by the High Court until further proceedings.

T.N. CM Stalin promises limb transplant for Krishnagiri amputee who aced class 12 Board exams
Exactly two summers ago, in May 2023, A. Kriti Varma received a phone call from Chief Minister M.K. Stalin congratulating the 16-year-old boy who had written the Class 10 board exams holding his pen between his amputated arms and scored 437 out of 500. On Thursday (May 8, 2025), as Varma, a student of the Government Higher Secondary School in Nedumaruthi, glanced at his Plus Two marksheet bearing a score of 471 out of 600, he recalled the Chief Minister's promise. 'The Chief Minister had said he would talk to the doctors and help me get a limb transplant. But at that time, he asked me to study and clear my Plus Two exams first,' said Varma. The very same day, the Chief Minister posted a tweet saying he had asked Health Minister Ma. Subramanian to arrange for Varma's medical treatment. Ask Varma about his higher education dream, and he says he wants to become an engineer. Varma was pushed into a life of disability at the age of four, when he suffered an electric shock as he needled a power line with a stick. He lost both hands elbow down, and a few toes. He was introduced to schooling after a chance encounter with his government primary school headmistress S. Anandhi, who found him playing on the streets during a summer school enrolment campaign. Ms. Anandhi took Varma under her wing, and taught him to write with his truncated arms. 'He was unable to write with prosthetic limbs, so it was dropped while he was young. His handwriting is impeccable even now,' Ms. Anandhi said. At that time, speaking to The Hindu, recollected her sense of purpose, when Varma first wrote his Tamil letter 'Aahh' with his amputated limbs. His association with Ms. Anandhi continues to this day, with the latter seeking the government's help for his limb transplant following the declaration of the Class 12 results. 'Two hospitals – Global Hospitals and Apollo Hospitals – perform this surgery. Even last month, the limb transplant was performed on a woman,' notes Ms. Anandhi, desperate to see Varma regain his limbs. 'Another mother' 'Anandhi Miss is his Maruthaai – another mother. All we want now is the limb transplant that had been promised to him. He will be set for life, and not feel limited [if the transplant is done],' says Kasthuri, Varma's mother, who survives on MGNREGS wages. As of Thursday evening, Varma's family had received a call from the office of the Health Minister informing them of preparations for a tissue match. 'They are arranging a car for their [the family's] transport to Chennai on Friday,' Ms. Anandhi told The Hindu. Collector C. Dinesh Kumar also visited Varma and promised all necessary assistance.
