Perjury proceedings against ex-councillor’s son initiated
Chandigarh, April 11 While pronouncing the order, the court of civil judge Parvesh Singla stated that Siddharth Sanwaria knowingly submitted fake and fabricated documents in a civil suit, presenting them as genuine. The complaint was filed by PC Sanghi, chairman, Federation of Sector Welfare Association of Chandigarh (FOSWAC), through counsel Arvind Thakur under Section 340 CrPC for initiating proceedings under Sections 193/195 IPC against Siddharth Sanwaria for giving a false statement, affidavit and evidence during judicial proceedings in the court in a civil suit.

Mohali, April 11 The girl alleged that the accused developed physical relations with her on the pretext of marrying her.

Chemists give a bitter pill to patients on PGI campus
Chandigarh, April 11 Taking advantage of the perplexity of attendants' mind, most of the chemists do not give them bills and calculate the amount later. When this correspondent visited the medical stores on the PGI campus, it was found that chemists at a majority of the shops, including the ones located in the emergency and new OPD block, calculated the cost of medicines/surgical items and asked for payment without giving a bill. Some of them write the amount on brown packets without putting any stamp or signing below the calculation. Sample this: A patient's attendant carries the prescription to a medical store. The chemist takes out all the medicines. He then calculates the amount and communicates the bill to the attendant verbally. If a person asks for details of the calculation or discount, as agreed upon in a contract with the PGI, the chemist writes it on the paper-made cover. If the person comes after a few days to return any of these medicines, the chemist does not refer to the cover since its not "authentic". The helpless attendant does not have any bill to justify whether he bought the medicines from the same shop and at what price. He has to accept the arbitrarily calculated returnable amount. Ram Lal (name changed), who had purchased medicines worth Rs 4,000 from one of the stores on the PGI campus two weeks ago, came to return those since his nine-year-old son died within a few hours of admission. "Someone told us that the chemists take the unused medicines back. When I went there, he calculated something on his computer and returned Rs 900. I do not understand how much did each of the six medicines cost. We used only one of them, and returned the other five. Yet, the amount I received was much lesser than what I paid initially," he said.
No check on malpractice
The PGI has an Estate Committee Commercial headed by Dr Arvind Rajvanshi for keeping an eye on such chemists. The committee has not conducted any surprise check at any of the 14 medical stores in the past six months. "We keep conducting checks and have even fined some of them for not issuing bills to patients. But we have our own limitations. The highest penalty in such a case can only be in the form of fine," said Dr
Rajvanshi.

Converted plot owners seek Rs 1,200-crore refund
They allege that the Administration is in the process of implementation of the MSME Act which allows the same activities for which the converted plot owners had paid more than Rs 1,200 crore as conversion charges to the Administration. The association maintains that under the new Act, some commercial activities like information technology (IT), banking and warehousing, for which the Administration has charged crores, will be free of conversion charge. The converted plot owners have constructed malls, hotels and offices in the Industrial Area. In a letter to UT Adviser KK Sharma, members of the association said the Administration had allowed the change of land use from industrial to commercial activity after charging the conversion fee. Over 125 plot owners in Industrial Area have opted for the scheme. The Administration has collected over Rs 1,200 crore as conversion charges. Further amounts on this account continue to accrue year after year. The association has pointed out that the IT, IT-enabled services, banking and warehousing are allowed under this scheme and upon the payment of conversion fee. The Administration is now trying to allow these commercial activities in Industrial Area free of cost. The letter reads: “Our association is not against the implementation of the MSME Act, but before implementing it, the Administration should refund the conversion charges which they have charged for the same activities from the converted plot owners.”
The Chandigarh Administration came out with the Chandigarh Conversion of Land use of Industrial Site Into Commercial Activities/Services in Industrial Area, Phase I & II, Chandigarh Scheme 2005”. This policy allowed the change of land use from industrial to commercial activity after a payment of a conversion fee wherein various commercial activities were allowed. Over 125 plot owners in Industrial Area opted for the scheme and the Administration collected over ~1,200 crores as conversion charges.

Misuse notices under scrutiny
UT Chief Administrator denies retrospective application of rules Rajmeet Singh Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, April 11 While hearing a case of misuse of residential premises (House No. 1827, Sector 34-D), the Chief Administrator has observed that the misuse notice and subsequent penalty notices are valid to fresh allotment or auctions made on or after November 7, 2007. In the past three years, however, the UT Estate Office has issued hundreds of notices of misuse or building violation to the owners or occupiers of commercial buildings allotted prior to 2007. In the process of retrospective application of the Estate Rules, the estate office had withdrawn notices issued under the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952, and issued fresh notices from the previous date of violation. This resulted in the misuse or building violation fine (calculated at a rate of Rs 500 per sq yard) of crores of rupee. “The non-application of rules with retrospective effect could mean that the execution of recovery notices issued for misuse or building violation and proceedings of sealing could be withheld. Notices of recovery running in to around Rs 50 crore have been issued in the past three years,” said a senior official. Under the Chandigarh Estate Rules 2007 (amended in 2009), the UT Estate Office has not only sealed a number of commercial and residential premises, it has imposed a hefty fine on those found misusing their premises. In the case under question, Brig Gurbachan Singh Gosal and Anaha Kundan Jewellery had filed an appeal before the Chief Administrator under Section 10 (3) of the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952, for setting aside the demand of Rs 55.85 lakh as misuse charges. While setting aside the notices of misuse, the Estate Officer has been directed to recalculate the penalty as per the first notice issued on January 6, 2005, and pass an order stating under which rule, for how much period, at which rate, for how much area and in what proportion the misuse charges had been levied. In the legal opinion sought from the Legal Remembrance (LR), too, it has been conveyed that the rules could not be applied retrospectively.

Daily wage workers to be covered under Central pension schemes
Chandigarh, April 11 Sources said in a recent communication to the UT administration, the Union Government stated that all the government employees should be covered under pension schemes launched by the Centre. A senior official said the UT had started the process of executing the instructions at the earliest. As per records of the administration, of 2,034 employees, 1,772 are daily wagers, 134 appointed on compassionate ground and 262 on work-charged basis in various departments of the administration.
Proposal for regularising services pending
The proposal for regularising services of these employees is pending for the past eight months. A committee comprising of the forest secretary, joint-secretary (personnel) and UT Chief Engineer was constituted to examine the policy of the Punjab government in this respect. The committee recommended relaxation in the educational qualification and upper-age limit as a one-time measure. For this, the committee also sought legal opinion, sources in the administration said. The UT Adviser, KK Sharma, also directed the MC officials to draft a fresh proposal for regularising services of employees appointed on the compassionate ground and send it to the administration for approval. In a report submit by the MC Commissioner to the administration, it was stated that as many as 134 sanitation workers could be adjusted against 200 vacant posts if one-time relaxation was given. He also stated that the financial implications of this move would be low as these employees were already getting salaries from the corporation. Sources said the engineering department, too, suggested the one-time relaxation as daily wagers had been working with the department for the past two decades. The forest department official, meanwhile, said the matter of regularising services of was sub-judice.

Liquor to cost more
Chandigarh, April 11 Though the UT is yet to announce the policy, there are strong indications that the administration is in the favour of keeping liquor prices almost at par with Punjab. The UT was likely to tow the excise policy of Punjab, rather than making it competitive vis-a-vis the new excise policy of
Haryana, said sources in the administration. It is in the interest of the politically controlled liquor lobby in Punjab for the policy of the UT to match the excise policy of Punjab in order to benefit them rather than the city-based traders. The excise department is reportedly incurring a projected loss of over Rs 75 crore due to the closure of around 27 vends following an order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.

Classrooms bursting at seams in city
Also complaining about overcrowding in school buses, he said his son’s restlessness is enough to point out how private schools are reeling under extreme pressure to maintain their proper teacher-pupil (student) ratio in their classrooms. Not that worse like in government schools, the average classroom strength in private schools has gone beyond 40, compared to 30-35 in the previous years. In some schools, there are even more than 50-60 students in a single classroom, putting a lot of burden on their existing infrastructure and at the same time making the parents jittery. A parent said it was no more an ideal teacher-pupil ratio, which was 1:30
and 1:35 for primary and upper primary, respectively, under the RTE Act. Principal of a private school said they were trying their best to restrict their classes to 40-45 students, but even then the number had touched almost 50 in some classes. “Finally, we had to put our foot down because quality education is not possible with such high number,” he said. CBSE counsellor Dr Rakesh Sachdeva, also principal of DAV-Sector 15, said class size in private schools had definitely enlarged in schools in the recent times. “It is a serious challenge for private schools and we all must thoroughly pay attention to it and find a timely solution,” she said. Madhu Behl, principal of KBDAV-Sector 7, said schools were appointing additional subject teachers in classrooms to give individual attention to every student. As it has been noticed, the prolonged stagnancy in infrastructure building in Chandigarh schools
is flattening the quality education. Charles Samuel, principal of Mount Carmel School-47, said the infrastructure was stagnant because many of the schools didn’t have additional land. The only option left with us for additional rooms is to have the floor area ratio (FAR), which had not been revised here for a long time. Vikrant Suri, principal of Tender Heart-Sector 33, said several schools started from a small house and had gradually set up their infrastructure with their hard work. “But as society is growing, our needs are further increasing and administration must take note of it,” Vikrant said. HS Mamik, president of the Independent School Association, said despite repeated attempts, the administration was still sitting on their proposal to revise the FAR. “The schools can push employment in the education sector if they are allowed to increase infrastructure,” said Rakesh Sachdeva.

Flying squad: Panjab varsity flouts norms
Chandigarh, April 11 Senate member IS Sandhu has been assigned the duty as a flying squad, despite the fact that his son, a student of DAV College, Chandigarh, is appearing for the final-year exams. The Post Script (PS) in the appointment letter mentions that anyone assigned the duty as a flying squad member at examination centres should intimate the Controller of Examination if any of his/her close relatives are appearing for the examinations conducted by the university. Controller of Examination Parvinder Singh said the Senate member while giving the consent for acting as a flying squad didn’t inform the university about his son, who is also a candidate in the university examination. “The PS in the appointment letter mentions this clause, for which we rely on the information provided to us by the fellows and it’s their responsibility to disclose this information,” Parvinder said. The Senate member had also gone to the flying squad duty at DAV College on April 5, although there was no exam of BA final year. The issue has led to resentment among a section of Senate members who believe that a fellow should deny the duty if his ward is appearing for exams in any of the examination centres, whether in Chandigarh or Punjab. IS Sandhu said he had not performed any flying squad duty at DAV College when his son was appearing for the exam. “The only day I went as the flying squad member to the college when I knew that my son was not appearing for the examination. Moreover, if he would have been appearing for the exam, then I would have myself denied the duty,” Sandhu said. He said: "It is the university that selects the college and assigns the flying squad duty. The fellows don't make their own choice". “Moreover, my son is among the meritorious students of the college. He does not require any support from me,” Sandhu said.

RTE ACT
Chandigarh, April 11 It also ruled that admissions would first be offered to eligible students belonging to economically weaker students (EWS) and disadvantaged group residing within 1 km of specific schools. In case, the vacancies remain unfilled, students residing within 3 km of the schools would be admitted. If there were still vacancies, then admissions would be offered to other students residing within 6 km. Talking to a senior official of the department, he said: “The UT has been following the Central Government’s policy on neighbourhood admission that stipulates us to stretch the distance to 3 km in case the seats remain unfilled”. “Since there is no provision to go beyond 3 km, we will soon discussion on extending the neighbourhood in wake up of the latest judgement of the court,” he said. As per information, neighbourhood policy has become a major problem for admissions to government as well as private schools. Recently, private schools were found refusing admissions to EWS students coming from other sectors, citing distance problem. Darpan Singh, who lived in Ramdarbar, said a private school in Sector 45 refused admission to his son under the EWS quota citing that he did not reside within 1-km distance as stipulated under the RTE Act. Besides this, several government schools are also facing a lot of problem in enrolling the students due to stringent neighbourhood guidelines. An official said all these issues would be discussed minutely. Delhi government’s rules on neighbourhood policy would also be discussed.

UK-based professor delivers lecture on Punjabi diaspora
Chandigarh, April 11 Dr Taylor spoke on the basis of his research on Punjabi diaspora for the past one decade both on Punjabi villages in Doaba, and Southall, Wolverhampton and Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK. Taylor said through his research, he found that the Punjabis who migrated to the UK during 1950s-60s went with the hope to come back after making money. “Some of them also built huge mansions in their villages to display their newly achieved prosperity abroad. Today, they are the worst sufferers as they left their homeland in 1950s-60s and failed to establish roots in the UK as they never wished to live there forever,” he said. Taylor further said the third and fourth generations of Punjabi diaspora born and brought up in the UK nurture no such dream of coming back to Punjab. “With the passage of time, the property left behind by the earlier emigrants is slowly slipping out of their hands as the people left behind to look after their properties are not keen to pass it back to them,” he said. Dr Taylor said there was a special NRI Commission in Punjab dealing with such property disputes and other matrimonial acrimony. For fear of losing property, which often falls into disputes, the present generation of NRIs is now disposing it of to meet the recessional crisis in the UK. “It is a myth that NRI money is coming to Punjab, it is other way round,” said Dr Taylor.

Private schools in city to revise monthly fee
Chandigarh, April 11 HS Mamik, president of the Independent Schools Association, said: “With the court allowing us for hike, all schools have gone ahead with the revision of monthly fee. The hike, which varies between 10 per cent and 15 per cent, is strictly in consonance with the annual increase in our expenses like increment of staff, increase in electricity expenses and general inflation”. Missionary schools are also set to revise their monthly fee. Kavita Das, principal of St John’s High School, said: “Although the revision in monthly fee is imminent due to hike in the overall expenditure on a year-to-year basis, we are at present going through the court’s judgement. The final judgement will be taken thereafter”. As per information, the problem for schools is not over yet on the issue of increase in fee. The Punjab and Haryana High Court has ordered to set up three separate committees for Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh, which will study the reason of the hike in fee charged by schools in the last academic session. These committees will check the accounts of schools. If it was found that the fee hiked by schools was more than warranted, then directions would be given to them to refund the same to students. For new session, too, schools will have to justify their revision in monthly fee by producing necessary material before the committee, which is headed by Justice RS Mongia
(retd).
