The activists, including students, set on fire about 75 graduate and postgraduate degrees before terminating the march in front of the university gate Number two. Mr Surjewala told this reporter that the Chautala government had driven the youth to utmost frustration.

Bail plea of IAS officer dismissed Ambala, September 25 Mr Sharan had filed a bail application yesterday in this court, on which the court had issued a notice to the Vigilance Bureau for today. Mr Ashok Mehta and Mr BK Bali, counsels of Mr Sharan, stated during the argument on the bail application that the Vigilance Bureau had not taken proper permission from the Union Government for filing the challan against Mr Sharan, so the challan became null and void. He requested the court that since the bureau had failed to file proper challan even after the expiry of 90 days, Mr Sharan should be granted bail. The public prosecutor, Mr Gautam, who appeared on behalf of the Vigilance Bureau, while opposing the bail application said that since Mr Sharan was a senior IAS officer of Haryana, he might influence the witness if granted bail. He said that Mr Sharan had caused a loss of Rs 97 crore to the state exchequer during his tenure as MD of the HFC. After hearing the arguments of both sides, the Judge dismissed the bail application of Mr
Sharan. Meanwhile, the bail application of the former Executive Director of the
HFC, Mr Ugarsen Chadda, will be heard on September 30. It was filed in the court on Wednesday.
