विधि संवाददाता, पटना। नीट पेपर लीक मामले में कथित रूप से मुख्य आरोपी बनाए गए सिकंदर यादवेन्दु को पटना हाई कोर्ट से बड़ी राहत मिली है।

न्यायाधीश चंद्र प्रकाश की एकलपीठ ने सिकंदर की याचिका पर सुनवाई करते हुए उसे नियमित जमानत प्रदान कर दी है।

मामले में शास्त्रीनगर थाना कांड संख्या 358/2024 के तहत प्राथमिकी दर्ज की गई थी, जिसकी जांच बाद में केंद्रीय जांच ब्यूरो (सीबीआई ) को सौंप दी गई थी।

सीबीआई ने 23 जून 2024 को इस मामले को अपने रिकॉर्ड में लिया। याचिकाकर्ता के अधिवक्ता अपूर्व हर्ष ने न्यायालय में दलील दी कि यादवेन्दु का इस कथित षड्यंत्र से कोई सीधा संबंध नहीं है।

उन्होंने सिर्फ अपने कुछ परिजनों को परीक्षा से पहले होटल में ठहराने में मदद की थी। जांच में उनके खिलाफ पेपर लीक या सॉल्वर गिरोह से प्रत्यक्ष संबंध का कोई प्रमाण नहीं मिला है।

अदालत ने दिया यह निर्देश

मीडिया में मामले को लेकर हुए व्यापक और सनसनीखेज कवरेज ने यादवेन्दु को षड्यंत्र का मास्टरमाइंड करार दिया, जिससे उनकी सामाजिक छवि को भारी क्षति पहुंची।

अदालत ने उन्हें निर्देश दिया है कि वे जांच एजेंसियों के साथ पूरी तरह सहयोग करें और आगामी कार्यवाही में उपस्थित रहें।

जागरण संवाददाता, पटना। Patna News:  गर्मी को देखते हुए सरकारी स्कूल मार्निंग शिफ्ट में चल रहा है। सुबह साढ़े छह बजे से संचालित किए जाने की वजह से जिले के विभिन्न स्कूलों में बच्चों की उपस्थिति 60 प्रतिशत से कम हो गई है।

स्कूल की टाइमिंग में बदलाव किए जाने की वजह से उच्च विद्यालयों में बच्चों की संख्या में करीब 40 प्रतिशत की कमी आई है। बच्चों की उपस्थिति सुबह कम होने पर जिला शिक्षा पदाधिकारी संजय कुमार ने स्कूल में प्रवेश करने में आधे घंटे की छूट दी है।

उन्होंने कहा कि सुबह चेतना सत्र के बाद सात बजे तक स्कूल आने वाले विद्यार्थियों की उपस्थिति दर्ज की जाएगी। इसके साथ ही उन्होंने अभिभावकों से भी बच्चों को समय पर स्कूल भेजने के लिए आग्रह किया है

चि​ह्नित किए गए स्कूलों में दो शिफ्ट में चलेंगी कक्षाएं

जिले में दो ​शिफ्टों में चलने वाले स्कूलों के समय में कोई बदलाव नहीं होगा। जिला शिक्षा कार्यालय को शिकायत मिली है कि जिले के चिह्नित किए एक सौ स्कूलों में कुछ प्रधानाध्यापक अपनी मर्जी से एक शिफ्ट केवल मार्निंग में ही कक्षा संचालित कर रहे हैं।

जिला शिक्षा पदाधिकारी संजय कुमार ने कहा कि जो स्कूल दो शिफ्टों में संचालित हो रहे हैं वे पूर्व की तरह चलते रहेंगे। पहली शिफ्ट की छुट्टी के समय बच्चों को गर्मी झेलनी पड़ती है, जबकि दूसरे शिफ्ट के बच्चे स्कूल आते समय थोड़ी परेशानी होगी।

Stocks with high profitability and earnings visibility will offer growth opportunities and investors should focus on earnings and not Trump tariffs, HSBC Global Research said in a note. The brokerage firm has picked five stocks viz. TVS Motor Company, Reliance Industries (RIL), Shriram Finance, ICICI Bank and Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) based on structural merits, arguing for them to do the trick.Nifty has fallen over 3% since US President Donald Trump assumed office on January 20, this year. HSBC sees limited impact of trade tensions on growth of Indian companies as low foreign holdings reduce the risk of further outflows. The London-headquartered bank and financial services company also believes that the macro risks have declined, though concerns over high earnings expectations remain intact. The US has imposed a 26% tariff on India. The Indian government has said that it is in wide consultation with the US administration while preferring to not take a retaliatory route.The stocks identified by HSBC could rise based on multiple levers. Here’s what is expected of these stocks:TVS Motor CompanyThe risk-reward is favourable in TVS Motor shares now, said HSBC in its note as it forecasts the company's Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) margin to expand from 12.1% in FY25 to 13.3% in FY27. The reason behind this optimism is an expectation of normalisation in 2W demand in FY26 on a high base. "A favourable monsoon season may produce rural demand recovery, and we believe that new launches will help the company defend its market share," HSBC said.TVS arguably has the most established R&D capacity amongst the 2W OEMs, this brokerage claimed.Shares of TVS Motors have corrected 20% since September 2024. So far this year, it has managed to give nearly 3% returns.RILHSBC upgraded Reliance Industries stock to buy in its January 17 stock review. The stock has corrected by around 25% since market’s peak in September 2024 on scepticism of its performance in telecom, retail, and lack of catalysts for O2C and no news on New Energy. At current valuations, it makes it an attractive entry price, said HSBC.The retail business is set to turnaround as the company implemented a cleansing exercise in FY25. Furthermore, it has beefed up its presence in E/Q commerce and improved product quality in fashion and lifestyle.On telecom, HSBC said that despite tariff hikes it expects ARPU (average revenue per user) growth over the next quarter. Moreover, acceleration in the pace of adoption of AirFibre should also drive revenue growth in the telecom business.As for the O2C business, it expects margins to stabilise at current levels and new capacity to likely drive earnings growth. On new energy, the company is expected to launch its cell and module products and progress on battery storage technology.Also Read: Metal stocks tank up to 18% in a week amid tariff woes, sector braces for more painICICI BankHSBC has a buy view on ICICI Bank. The counter offers an optimal combination of the positive triggers like stronger-than-sector-growth, superior asset quality versus peers, consistent earnings delivery, and healthy profitability."We expect such all-round performance to sustain. This should sustain the healthy valuation premium for ICICBC over peers for its core banking business.While the pressure on loan growth or NIM compression is visible, given its scale and the toughness of the operating environment, we believe these have been better managed than its peers," the brokerage note said.Shriram FinanceHSBC finds Shriram Finance in a safer space. The vehicle financier has the ability to maintain mid-to high-teens AUM growth given the wider product penetration within branches and reduced cyclicality due to lower dependence on vehicle finance.Stable yields and lower incremental funding costs are likely to drive NIM (net interest margin) expansion for the company over FY25-27e and HSBC expects stable asset quality and credit costs given the low exposure to unsecured loans.Adani PortsHSBC views APSEZ as a long-term proxy for India’s trade and infrastructure growth and the addition of the Vizhinjam and Colombo terminals could strengthen its capacity and pricing power. A ramp-up of the logistics business and international operations (ports and marine) will further reduce sensitivity to domestic cargo volume trends, in our view.For FY26, management indicated over 20% growth in group EBITDA, driven by a ramp-up of new port projects, international operations, and logistics businesses. "We forecast FY24-27 EBITDA CAGR of 16% and earnings CAGR of 22%," HSBC said.Also Read: Domestic-focused plays remain safer bets amid global uncertainty: Amnish Aggarwal(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

 जागरण संवाददाता, पटना। Patna News: पटना हाई कोर्ट ने ट्रैफिक पुलिस की कथित मनमानी और अवैध वसूली के मामलों में आदेश की अवहेलना पर कड़ा रुख अपनाया है। न्यायाधीश ए. अभिषेक रेड्डी की एकलपीठ ने सुनवाई के दौरान ट्रैफिक एसपी और जिला परिवहन पदाधिकारी को अगली सुनवाई में व्यक्तिगत रूप से उपस्थित होने का आदेश दिया है।

हाईकोर्ट ने शशिभूषण कुमार द्वारा दायर रिट याचिका पर सुनवाई के दौरान उक्त आदेश दिया। याचिकाकर्ता ने आरोप लगाया है कि ट्रैफिक पुलिस की मनमानी के चलते उनकी गाड़ी का प्रदूषण प्रमाणपत्र जारी नहीं किया जा रहा है। उन्होंने यह भी बताया कि पुलिस द्वारा उनके साथ अभद्रता करते हुए झूठे आरोप में ₹2500 रुपये का चालान काटा गया।

पिछली सुनवाई में कोर्ट ने संबंधित अधिकारियों को प्रदूषण प्रमाण-पत्र जारी करने और जवाबी हलफनामा दायर करने का निर्देश दिया था। हालांकि, न तो हलफनामा दाखिल किया गया, न ही प्रमाण-पत्र प्रदान किया गया। सुनवाई के दौरान अन्य अधिवक्ताओं ने भी ट्रैफिक पुलिस की कार्यशैली पर सवाल उठाए और मनमानी व अवैध वसूली की शिकायत की। इस मामले की अगली सुनवाई 17 अप्रैल, 2025 को निर्धारित की गई है।

Tesla shares closed 5% lower at $221.86 on Tuesday, extending their 2025 decline to 45% and pushing the stock nearly 55% below its all-time high of $488.54 set in mid-December. The electric vehicle maker has now lost nearly $584 billion in market value this year as mounting competitive, political and operational pressures intensify.The latest wave of selling comes amid weak delivery numbers, rising geopolitical tensions, and CEO Elon Musk’s deepening involvement in politics—an unusual convergence of risks that’s weighing on investor confidence and raising questions about the company’s near-term trajectory.BYD’s new charging tech undercuts Tesla in ChinaTesla’s edge in EV infrastructure is under threat. In March, Chinese rival BYD unveiled a next-generation fast-charging station that delivers 400 kilometers (about 250 miles) of range in just five minutes—well ahead of Tesla’s top-end Supercharger performance.BYD, which outsold Tesla in battery EVs last quarter, plans to roll out 4,000 of these new chargers across China. The development adds to the competitive pressure on Tesla, especially in a market that accounts for 22% of its revenue. In February, Tesla’s China sales plunged 49% from a year earlier to 30,688 vehicles, its worst monthly performance since August 2022.Tariff crossfire mounts pressureTesla’s China exposure is under renewed threat following an escalation in trade tensions. U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of 34% “reciprocal” tariffs on Chinese imports—higher than many analysts had expected—prompted an immediate response from Beijing, which imposed matching 34% tariffs on U.S. goods.The tit-for-tat measures are particularly significant for Tesla, which not only depends on China for a fifth of its revenue but also operates its most productive manufacturing facility in the country. While the company sources most components locally, potentially softening the direct impact of tariffs, the broader conflict casts a shadow over consumer sentiment and brand perception in one of Tesla’s most important markets.Global demand shows signs of strainTesla’s first-quarter deliveries came in at 336,681 vehicles—down 13% from a year earlier and missing even the low end of consensus estimates. It marks the worst quarterly drop in the company’s history.In Europe, the picture is even bleaker. January sales fell 45% year-on-year, and the trend worsened in February, with registrations in Germany plunging 76%. In contrast, rival BYD reported a 39% jump in global EV sales in the first quarter, reinforcing concerns that Tesla is losing share in key international markets.Elon Musk’s political role fuels backlashInvestor anxiety is also growing over Elon Musk’s increased involvement in politics. As head of the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk has faced mounting criticism, with some blaming his alignment with far-right causes in the U.S. and Europe for a consumer backlash.Tesla has seen targeted protests at showrooms and vandalism at some charging stations in Europe. Deliveries in the region fell 49% in the first two months of the year. In the U.S., repeat purchases by Tesla owners have dropped to 65% in Democrat-leaning states, while holding steady at 48% in Republican ones.Musk recently admitted to having “great difficulty” dividing his time between Tesla and his government duties—remarks that did little to calm shareholders.A shifting narrativeThe Tesla story has changed. Once a market darling prized for its innovation and vision, the company now faces a thicket of challenges: slowing demand, intensifying competition, geopolitical risk, and a distracted CEO. While its long-term bets on AI and robotics remain intact, the company’s core EV business is under pressure—and for now, investors are voting with their feet.Also read | Almost 50% wiped out in 50 days: Tesla shares crash under Trump’s second term(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.
