  "account": "In May 2025, the Madras High Court imposed a one-month simple imprisonment sentence on senior IAS officer Anshul Mishra for contempt of court. The court also ordered Mishra to pay a compensation of ₹25,000 to elderly siblings who were struggling to retrieve their valuable immovable property. However, on June 12, 2025, the court suspended the sentence after a Division Bench overturned the ruling. In September 2025, another Division Bench of the Madras High Court set aside the one-month imprisonment imposed on Mishra. Meanwhile, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin visited New Delhi to attend a NITI Aayog meeting led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.",
