The Karnataka High Court has ruled that the "pay and recover" principle does not apply when a minor causes an accident. In such cases, the vehicle owner is solely responsible for compensating the claimants, not the insurance company. Justice Hanchate Sanjeev Kumar's single-judge bench allowed an appeal by The New India Assurance Co Ltd, overturning a tribunal's order from August 11, 2014, which had held the insurance company liable for compensation. The court emphasized that a minor under 16 cannot be considered qualified to hold a driving license. Therefore, if a minor drives a vehicle and causes an accident, the "pay and recover" principle does not apply, as outlined in Section 149(2)(ii) of the Motor Vehicles Act. Initially, the tribunal awarded Rs 2,56,000 to the claimants. However, the insurance company contended that the minor, who caused the accident, did not possess a valid driving license, thus exempting the insurer from liability. The claimants arg

They also endorsed a comprehensive review of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and called for reforms within multilateral development banks to better support developing nations. Led by India's representative, the ministers urged the New Development Bank to align with member priorities and enhance its role as a premier multilateral development institution.

New York [US], June 11: Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East stemming from the prolonged conflict between Israel and Hamas, the United Nations Security Council unanimously approved a resolution endorsing a US-led initiative for a lasting ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza on Monday (local time). The resolution, drafted by the United States, urges Hamas to accept a ceasefire proposal put forward by President Joe Biden on May 31, which has already been agreed upon by Israel. With 14 votes in favor and one abstention from Russia, the resolution outlines a three-phase plan aimed at achieving a comprehensive ceasefire agreement. The first phase calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities, the release of hostages, and the exchange of Palestinian prisoners.

In response to Apple's partnership announcement with OpenAI, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk criticized the move, labeling it as an "unacceptable security violation." Musk warned that unless the alleged "creepy spyware" aspect is addressed, all Apple devices would be prohibited within his companies. Musk's concerns stem from the potential integration of OpenAI at the operating system (OS) level by Apple. He emphasized that such integration would be deemed a significant security breach and warrant a ban on Apple devices within his organizations. On the other hand, Apple CEO Tim Cook introduced 'Apple Intelligence,' an AI system integrated into iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices. Cook highlighted its personalized, powerful, and private features deeply integrated into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia. However, Musk remained skeptical about Apple's ability to ensure user security and privacy, especially with OpenAI's involvement. He que

New Delhi [India], June 9: Nitin Gadkari, a senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and MP from Nagpur, took the oath as Union Cabinet Minister at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Sunday. Gadkari secured victory in the Lok Sabha elections from Nagpur, defeating his Congress rival by a margin of 1,37,603 votes.

New Delhi [India], June 9: Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi took a sharp dig at Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi during his third swearing-in ceremony as PM.  Sonia Gandhi claimed that Modi failed to secure the mandate he sought and criticized him for not taking "responsibility for failure." "The Prime Minister who sought the mandate solely in his name, excluding both his party and its allies, has suffered a political and moral defeat. In reality, he has lost the mandate he sought and thereby lost the right to leadership as well," she said at the extended CWC meeting on Saturday. "Yet, far from taking responsibility for failure, he intends to get himself sworn in again. We do not expect him to change the substance and style of his governance, nor take cognizance of the will of the people," she added. Gandhi emphasized the CPP's role in holding the government accountable. "As members of the CPP, we have a spec

Taipei [Taiwan], June 9: Elbridge Colby, a former US defense official, has warned that China might launch an attack on Taiwan with little warning, according to Taiwan News.

Colby also mentioned that a cross-strait conflict could involve US troops in the Asia Pacific region, as well as forces from Japan, Australia, and the Philippines. While some commentators argue that China would find it difficult to launch a surprise attack due to the extensive preparations re

New Delhi [India], June 8: A petition filed in the Supreme Court seeks an investigation into media houses and their associates for broadcasting exit polls immediately after the conclusion of the final phase of Lok Sabha elections. The petition alleges that this influenced investors, resulting in a loss of Rs 31 lakh crore as the share market crashed after the election results on June 4.

They purportedly encouraged common investors to enter the share market until it opened on June 3 (Monday), leading to an unexpected surge in the market. However, when the actual results were announced, the market experienced a downturn. Advocate BL Jain, who filed the plea, stated that on June 4, when the counting took place and the share market crashed, common investors incurred a significant loss of Rs 31 lakh crore.

Introduction : As the summer sun emerges, so does the risk of heatwaves. With temperatures soaring to unprecedented levels in many parts of the world, it's crucial to understand the dangers associated with extreme heat and take proactive measures to stay safe. This article delves into the dynamics of heatwaves, their impact on health, and the essential safety precautions individuals can take to mitigate risks and enjoy the summer months responsibly.

Climate change has exacerbated the frequency and severity of heatwaves, making them a significant public health concern.
