यह फैसला जस्टिस सौमित्र दयाल सिंह और जस्टिस स्वरूपमा चतुर्वेदी की खंडपीठ ने दिया. कोर्ट ने कहा कि 33 विषयों की पूरी परीक्षा रद्द करना सही नहीं है, क्योंकि जांच में सिर्फ 5 विषयों तक ही पेपर लीक होने के सबूत मिले हैं.

पुनः परीक्षा का दायरा सीमित
कोर्ट ने आदेश दिया कि 18 अप्रैल 2026 को होने वाली दोबारा परीक्षा जारी रहेगी, लेकिन इसका मूल्यांकन सिर्फ 5 विषयों- उर्दू, हिंदी, भूगोल, समाजशास्त्र और प्राणीशास्त्र तक ही सीमित रहेगा. शेष 28 विषयों की ओएमआर शीट का मूल्यांकन नहीं किया जाएगा।

28 विषयों के अभ्यर्थियों को राहत

पेपर लीक जांच में सामने आए तथ्य
जानकारी के मुताबिक, 16 और 17 अप्रैल 2025 को 33 विषयों में 910 पदों के लिए परीक्षा आयोजित की गई थी. बाद में पेपर लीक की जांच में आयोग के एक कर्मचारी महबूब अली और 18 उम्मीदवारों की संलिप्तता सामने आई. लेकिन कोर्ट ने पाया कि इसका असर सिर्फ 5 विषयों तक ही सीमित है.

साक्षात्कार के लिए नई प्रक्रिया तय की गई
कोर्ट ने निर्देश दिया कि अंतिम साक्षात्कार के लिए 28 विषयों के अभ्यर्थियों को पुरानी परीक्षा से शॉर्टलिस्ट किया जाए, जबकि 5 दागी विषयों के लिए दोबारा परीक्षा से नए अभ्यर्थियों का चयन किया जाए। इसके बाद दोनों को मिलाकर आगे की प्रक्रिया पूरी की जाएगी।

निष्पक्षता पर जोर, अपील आंशिक रूप से स्वीकार
हाई कोर्ट ने विशेष अपील को आंशिक रूप से स्वीकार करते हुए कहा कि निष्पक्षता बनाए रखना जरूरी है. यह निर्णय यह सुनिश्चित करता है कि जिन उम्मीदवारों के खिलाफ कोई आरोप नहीं है, उन्हें अनावश्यक परेशानी का सामना नहीं करना पड़ेगा।

The Royal Archives open for the first authorized biography of Queen Elizabeth II / Image: File

For the first time after the death of the queen elizabeth In September 2022, his private papers are being opened to an authorized historian, an important step in documenting the life of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch.Anna Kay, the eminent historian and chief executive of The Landmark Trust, has been appointed to write the first official biography of the late Queen. According to BBC News, the project will give them unprecedented access to personal letters, documents and records held in the Royal Archives, material never before available to researchers.The biography is expected to move beyond the Queen’s public duties to offer a more intimate portrait of her life, exploring her personal thoughts, relationships and decision-making during decades of historic change. The decision to allow access to such sensitive material is seen as a rare and carefully managed moment of transparency within the British royal family, where private correspondence traditionally remains sealed.The archive material will describe key moments of profound political and social change in Britain and across the Commonwealth from his accession to the throne in 1952. Historians believe these records can shed new light on how he handled major national events, worked with successive prime ministers, and adapted the monarchy to a rapidly changing world.Anna Kay’s appointment signals an effort to ensure that the biography is authoritative as well as based on rigorous historical research. The project is expected to take several years to complete, reflecting the scale of the archives and the importance of the subject. As a commissioned work, it will be prepared in collaboration with the royal family, while still aiming to provide a balanced and historically reliable account.The reign of Queen Elizabeth II, which began after World War II, witnessed the fall of the Empire, the development of the Commonwealth, and the modernization of the monarchy in the digital age. While his public role was closely documented, his private views have remained largely inaccessible. The BBC News report suggests that unlocking these documents could deepen our understanding of his leadership, revealing how he balanced constitutional duty with personal judgment during crucial moments.For the UK, the biography represents much more than a historical record, it offers a rare opportunity to examine the life and influence of a monarch who shaped the country’s identity for more than seven decades, through insights drawn directly from his own words and records.

I read you loud and clear,” a crew member said.On the other hand, the Iranian Navy asked the ship to “immediately return”. Bhagya Lakshmi complied.Meanwhile, another distress call emerged from the Sanmar Herald. A crew member aboard the crude oil tanker said, “SEPA Navy. SEPA Navy. This is the motor tanker Sanmar Herald. You cleared me to go. My name is second on your list. You are firing now. Let me go back,” the man was heard saying.Two Indian-flagged tankers returned to the Strait of Hormuz after reportedly being fired upon by Iranian gunmen yesterday, as the waterway – through which a fifth of the world’s oil and gas passes – remains at the center of confusion amid tensions between the US, Israel and Iran. Sources said no one was injured in the firing and there was no damage to the ships.According to Reuters, ships attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday received radio messages from Iran’s navy telling them they were not allowed to pass, while two ships were reported fired upon.

Gurugram There has been a strategic transformation from a peripheral suburb to one of the most promising real estate destinations of North India. Complemented by supporting amenities such as strong infrastructure development, wide roads, enhanced connectivity and increased residential demand – especially from end users seeking long-term value, areas like New Gurugram (areas spread along the Dwarka Expressway and Southern Peripheral Road) have emerged as compelling real estate destinations. According to a report by Cushman & Wakefield, Gurugram contributed about 73% of all residential launches in NCR in Q1 2026, again reflecting Gurugram’s dominance in the NCR market for housing. With new micro markets developing in the region, Gurugram is expected to maintain its dominance in residential properties in NCR. The extensive development of Gurugram can be estimated from the fact that it has emerged as a major logistics and industrial hub. As observed by Cushman & Wakefield, Gurugram accounts for about 39% of the NCR region’s annual warehouse lease in 2025. The well-planned network of roads and transit infrastructure in the region primarily facilitates the transformation. The operationalization of expressways and road networks such as the Dwarka Expressway has substantially increased the connectivity between Delhi and Gurugram, while also reducing congestion on NH-48. Additionally, the upcoming metro extension and better access to IGI Airport are major developments that have increased the appeal of this area manifold for both professionals and frequent travelers. Industry leaders accept this statement. Will real estate remain valuable in Gurugram?According to Varun Sharma, Managing Director, Aurigen Realty, “Sector 88A is the crown jewel of Dwarka Expressway and due to strong infrastructure development, a major development micro market is becoming in the new Gurugram. The sector is strategically located along this high-growth corridor, benefiting from a 16-lane, access-controlled expressway, providing direct access to Indira Gandhi International Airport and connecting NH 48 and key commercial districts. Looking ahead, planned transit-oriented developments such as metro connectivity and integrated mobility infrastructure are expected to further improve accessibility and urban efficiency. As this ecosystem evolves, we are seeing a steady increase in end-user interest, strengthening its potential for sustainable, long-term value creation. “Our upcoming project is part of this thriving location, and our design will mark its legacy given the strong foundation of 3 decades in construction.”New launches are being planned in line with the demand trends, and with a steady supply of high-end properties as well as mid-segment properties dominating the market in terms of supply. Over 60% of new properties launched in Q1 2026 were in the mid-segment. This shows that the market is moving towards end-user-driven demand due to improvements in affordability and infrastructure readiness. Infrastructure development has also helped Gurugram become a major commercial hub. A report by Cushman & Wakefield supports this – Gurugram leads the leasing activity with 54% share, followed by Delhi (26%) and Noida (20%). rise of micro marketsThe emergence of micro-markets like New Gurugram, which are replete with strategic advantages such as connectivity, convenience and capital appreciation, has been facilitated through infrastructure development, positive growth in the commercial and residential property sectors. The growing preference towards New Gurugram among buyers is due to the generous nature of the utilities it offers. These include accessible price points compared to other legacy corridors (without compromising on lifestyle infrastructure or connectivity) and the presence of social infrastructure such as schools, health care facilities, retail developments and corporate parks. For end users and investors, the sector offers an exceptional liveability factor with immense potential for future appreciation.According to Santosh Agarwal, Executive Director and CFO, Alpha Corp Development Limited, “Micro-markets are playing a vital role in balancing connectivity and liveability in the evolving landscape of Gurugram’s real estate market. As the city’s development corridors continue to expand in geographical footprint, it has been observed that established areas that offer a combination of strategic location and a comprehensive ecosystem, such as Sector 15, complement the strategic relevance of these corridors. Today’s home buyer’s preferences are inclined not toward anticipated future prospects but toward immediate, demonstrated utility. They prefer neighborhoods that can provide them utility in terms of connectivity to commercial centres, access to social infrastructure and the confidence of a well-developed ecosystem around them. Therefore, Sector 15 is a perfect expression of these priorities, and its relevance will deepen as the market maturesAshish Sharma, AVP Operations, Brahma Group, says, ‘For example, Sector 16 of Gurugram. What makes it unique is its central location. Buyers and investors alike appreciate the area’s proximity to prime commercial locations. As homebuyers’ preferences are now leaning towards areas that can offer residential and commercial space on the same stretch, Sector 16 has strengthened its position to support an easy-going lifestyle. From an investment perspective, Sector 16 represents an area with the potential for rapid returns. This is because the area is replete with the presence of commercial enterprises, thus making it an important economic hub. As Gurugram continues to expand its footprint, micro-markets like Sector 16 have become important to organically absorb demand and ensure that economic activity circulates across the city. Thus, areas like Sector 16 will ensure that development in Gurugram is not limited to heritage corridors. Due to these aspects, Sector 16 will play an important role in giving new horizons to the development of Gurugram in the coming years.With its unique advantages, New Gurugram is set to play a significant role in expanding the development horizon of Gurugram. As legacy areas are moving towards saturation and increased prices, the micro market of the new Gurugram offers a strategic opportunity in terms of land availability and infrastructure capacity. The area is thus equipped to respond to the rising wave of residential and commercial demand. Its strategic location ensures its deep integration with key areas of Gurugram, while its growing horizons and expanding developer portfolio indicate market confidence. The area is set to emerge as a new strategic location in the real estate landscape of Gurugram.

13 अप्रैल को नोएडा में मजदूर आंदोलन के दौरान भड़की हिंसा अब एक बड़े खुलासे की ओर इशारा कर रही है. शुरुआत में इस घटना को मजदूरों का अचानक गुस्सा माना जा रहा था, लेकिन जांच में कुछ और ही बात सामने आई। स्पेशल टास्क फोर्स की जांच में यह हिंसा एक सोची-समझी साजिश लग रही है. इस पूरे मामले में आदित्य आनंद नाम के युवक को मुख्य आरोपी और मास्टरमाइंड बताया जा रहा है, जिसने कथित तौर पर एक नेटवर्क बनाया था.

जांच में साजिश की परतें खुल रही हैं
एसटीएफ की जांच में पता चला है कि यह हिंसा अचानक नहीं हुई, बल्कि इसकी योजना पहले से बनाई गई थी. जांच एजेंसियां ​​अब इस बात की जांच कर रही हैं कि इसमें किन लोगों की भूमिका थी और कैसे इस घटना को अंजाम दिया गया. अधिकारियों का कहना है कि इस मामले में और भी लोगों के शामिल होने की आशंका है.

कौन हैं आदित्य आनंद?
आदित्य आनंद मूल रूप से हाजीपुर, बिहार के रहने वाले हैं। उनकी शिक्षा काफी अच्छी रही है. उन्होंने नेशनल इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ टेक्नोलॉजी जमशेदपुर से इंजीनियरिंग की डिग्री हासिल की। पढ़ाई के दौरान वे एक होनहार छात्र माने जाते थे और तकनीकी क्षेत्र में उनका भविष्य उज्ज्वल माना जाता था।

Madhya Pradesh High Court

Bhopal: In a significant relief to a police officer, the Madhya Pradesh High Court, Gwalior bench has set aside his dismissal from service, holding that the punishment was not appropriate in the case related to the 2022 incident in Guna district in which three policemen were killed.The case pertains to Inspector Vinod Singh Rathore, who was posted as Station House Officer at Aaron police station when a police team sent to stop suspected deer poachers came under heavy firing on the night of May 13-14, 2022, resulting in the death of three personnel.A departmental inquiry held the officer responsible for negligence, primarily for not accompanying the team himself and allegedly sending inadequate forces and weapons. He was subsequently dismissed from service and both his appeal and the second appeal were rejected.However, the High Court found that the allegations point more towards lack of efficiency, foresight and judgment, which does not automatically amount to misconduct under service rules. It said there were no clear guidelines requiring the SHO to personally lead such operations, nor was there any conclusive evidence that the team sent was inadequate.The court also recorded that the officer, taking a decision based on available information, had deployed seven out of 11 available personnel and equipped them with the best weapons available at the police station. It was held that a decision resulting from a decision cannot, in itself, be considered misconduct warranting dismissal.The bench further said that the authorities failed to adequately consider the officer’s 27 years of service record, which included out-of-turn promotions and nearly 200 cash awards for bravery, including operations against a notorious gang in the Chambal region.Setting aside the order of dismissal, the High Court directed that the officer be reinstated with continuity of service but without arrears of pay. The Court underlined that punishment should be proportionate and based on proven misconduct, and not merely the result of operational decisions.
