Cooking asst recruitment: Exclusion of PwDs stayed

|January 29, 2025
The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Tuesday stayed a portion of a G.O. issued by the Department of Social Welfare, Nutrition and Women's Rights, which restricted persons with disabilities (PWD) from being appointed as cooking assistants.
THE Madras High Court on Tuesday dismissed Netflix's plea seeking to reject the copyright infringement suit filed by actor Dhanush against Nayanthara over her documentary.
Dhanush had filed a civil suit seeking ₹10 crore in damages from Nayanthara for using behind-the-scenes footage from the film 'Naanum Rowdy Dhaan', produced by his Wunderbar Films Pvt Ltd, in her Netflix documentary 'Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale'.
The order is considered a setback to the actress, who had taken a combative stand on social media when Dhanush sent her a legal notice seeking the damages.
Justice Abdul Quddhose delivered the order on Tuesday, rejecting Netflix's application and also dismissing another plea for revoking leave granted to Wunderbar Films to file the suit in the Madras High Court.
Los Gatos Production Services India LLP, an entity of Netflix, had filed these applications.
