The Story in Brief
The Rajasthan High Court has taken suo motu cognizance of serious structural defects in its Principal Seat building at Jodhpur. The action follows an IIT Bombay structural audit warning that the Central Dome could collapse at any time, livelaw.in reports. A Division Bench of Dr Justice Pushpendra Singh Bhati and Justice Praveer Bhatnagar is hearing the matter. The court's suo motu move underscores the urgency of addressing safety risks in a building that houses courtrooms and offices.

Ordinary Indians might see this as a rare instance of a government body holding itself accountable. But the fact that an IIT Bombay audit was needed to prompt action raises questions about routine upkeep. Some blame bureaucratic neglect; others wonder why the court did not act earlier. The real test will be whether the High Court orders a full structural audit of all its buildings across Rajasthan and sets a firm deadline for repairs.
