Today(on 11th June),Madras High Court, led by Justice Anita Sumanth, declines mediation for the dispute between ex-DGP Rajesh Das and IAS officer Beela Venkatesan, signaling a pivotal moment in their legal battle. The decision underscores the court’s stance against mediation, emphasizing the complexity of their conflict.
The Madras High Court has responded to a PIL by directing the TN DGP and Chennai Police Commissioner to consider extending park and beach hours, aiming to alleviate the challenges of extreme summer heat for Chennai residents. This decision seeks to provide relief amidst high temperatures affecting daily life. The Court’s directive aims to address the pressing need for extended public access to outdoor spaces during cooler evening hours, in order to mitigate the adverse effects of intense heat on public health and well-being. The outcome of this case could set a precedent for addressing similar issues in other cities during extreme weather conditions.
