 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.
