Rajasthan HC one of 9 courts that protected principles of justice during Emergency: CM Sharma
Jaipur (PTI): Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma said Sunday the Rajasthan High Court is proudly counted among the nine such courts that protected the principles of justice even during the Emergency in the country.
Addressing the platinum jubilee celebrations of the Rajasthan High Court in Jodhpur, Sharma said when civil rights were being violated during the Emergency, this court ensured that a person could challenge his arrest and detention.
This decision is proof that the court has always respected the rule of law and stood for its protection.
Sharma said the judiciary, executive and legislature are doing better work in Rajasthan. As a result of this, many cases have been resolved through mutual understanding and people have got relief from long legal processes.
He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has abolished years-old laws, making the process easier with new laws and simplifying the rules.
The chief minister said that through Mission Karmayogi, officers were getting an opportunity to gain expertise in law-related subjects.
He added that under Mission Karmayogi in Rajasthan, more than 5.30 lakh personnel are registered and more than 2.35 lakh personnel have completed the course.

Arrogant govt: Rahul slams govt over video of restaurant chain owner 'apologising' to FM
New Delhi (PTI): Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Friday slammed the government over a video in which a restaurant chain owner is purportedly "apologising" to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for voicing concerns about GST, and said that when "fragile egos" of those in power are hurt, it seems humiliation is what they will deliver.
Two videos were being shared by several Congress leaders and in one of them at an event on September 11, Annapoorna chain of restaurants owner Srinivasan is seen purportedly highlighting concerns over varying GST rates. In the second video, Srinivasan was seen purportedly apologising in person to the Finance Minister.
Gandhi said if this "arrogant government" would listen to the people they would understand that a simplified GST would solve the problems of lakhs of businesses.
In a post on X, Gandhi said when the owner of a small business, like Annapoorna restaurant in Coimbatore, asks public servants for a simplified GST regime, his request is met with "arrogance and outright disrespect".
"Yet, when a billionaire friend seeks to bend the rules, change the laws, or acquire national assets, Modi Ji rolls out the red carpet," he alleged.
"Our small business owners have already endured the blows of demonetisation, an inaccessible banking system, tax extortion and a disastrous GST. The last thing they deserve is further humiliation," Gandhi said.
But when the fragile egos of those in power are hurt, it seems humiliation is exactly what they will deliver, the former Congress chief said.
He said MSMEs have been asking for relief for years.
"If this arrogant government would listen to the people they would understand that a simplified GST with a single tax rate would solve the problems of lakhs of businesses," Gandhi said.
