[2026 LiveLaw (Raj) 300]Justice Anoop Kumar Dhand observed that mens rea is an essential ingredient of the offence under Section 175 IPC and cautioned that treating every bona fide lapse by police officers as an intentional omission would result in "a flood of such kind of complaints" against them.At the same time, the Court also highlighted the significance of finding a solution to the issue of police officials not obeying court directions.Rajasthan High Court Seeks JDA's Response On Delay In Constructing Drain Channels Along Dravyavati River Despite NEERI ReportTitle: Alok Gupta v State of Rajasthan and Ors.The Rajasthan High Court has directed the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) to explain why cement concrete drain channels have not been constructed along stretches of the Dravyavati River in Jaipur despite recommendations made in a report by the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Nagpur.The Division Bench of Acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma and Justice Bhuwan Goyal was hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) originally filed in 2024 seeking directions to the authorities to construct cement concrete-lined drain channels and provide sewage connections to prevent water and air pollution in Jaipur's Ambabari area.Rajasthan High Court Declines PIL Seeking Probe Into Meat Shops In Jodhpur, Says Regulatory Framework Already ExistsTitle: Aasif Ali v Municipal Corporation & Ors.Citation: 2026 LiveLaw (Raj) 303Rajasthan High Court disposed of the PIL that raised the issue of unlawful slaughtering of animals and sought regulation of unlicensed meat shops operating in Jodhpur, opining that there was no need for any inquiry or interference in the minute aspects of regulatory framework governing meat trade in the city.At the same time, the division bench of Dr. Justice Pushpendra Singh Bhati and Justice Praveer Bhatnagar observed that in case any shop was found to be operating without requisite license, the concerned person shall be informed of the requirement to obtain such a license, and the application shall be considered strictly as per prescribed law.Teacher Reprimanding Student For Irregular Attendance, Poor Academic Performance Not Abetment Of Suicide: Rajasthan High CourtTitle: Smt.

[2026 LiveLaw (Raj) 304]The bench of Justice Kuldeep Mathur observed that the relationship between a teacher and a student is founded on discipline, guidance and academic supervision, and teachers are duty-bound to maintain discipline in educational institutions.“A teacher is duty bound to maintain discipline and may legitimately reprimand a student for irregular attendance, poor academic performance or indiscipline.
