Man stabs younger brother
Jalandhar, August 6 Lakhwinder Singh, his elder brother, had been pestering him to return money to him which he had spent in his case, but Balwinder had reportedly been expressing his helplessness at which the duo had a spat. Lakhwinder Singh took out a knife, which he had carried along, and stabbed his brother thrice in the chest. He fled from the spot, leaving Balwinder in a pool of blood. Balwinder was rushed to the Civil Hospital, from where he was referred to Satyam Hospital because of his critical condition. The SHO, Division
No 8 police station, Kewal Kishan, said Balwinder’s statement had been recorded. Inquiry officer Rakesh Kumar said an FIR would be lodged tomorrow on the matter as the doctor concerned was not available to give his statement on the kind of injuries and whether the case be registered under Section 307 of the IPC or some other sections. He hinted that Lakhwinder Singh also suspected his brother of an illicit relation with
his wife. |

Khiwa Govt Senior Secondary School languishes due to police apathy
Jalandhar, August 6 One of the most classic examples of the melancholy school theft story in the district is Government Senior Secondary School, Khiwa. The Tribune has in its possession a copy of six complaints forwarded by the school authorities to the police station concerned and the SSP (Rural). All of these complaints have not been addressed. Four thefts have taken place at the school, on August 17, 2012, December 12, 2012, January 29, 2013, and February 22, 2013, but so far only an FIR for the August 17, 2012, theft has been registered, despite the fact that the school has made written complaints to the police. The complaints are dated 4.12.2012 (to in charge, Uggi police station), 29.1.2013 (in charge, Uggi police station), 22.2.2013 (in charge, Uggi police station), 7.3.2013 (SSP, Rural), 20.5.2013 (SHO, Nakodar, rural, police station) and 29.7.2013 (to SSP, Rural). While the school lost documents in the first theft, in the subsequent ones, three gas cylinders (December 12, 2012), a 44-inch LED screen and an ROT receiver (January 29, 2013) and a 15-inch LCD computer screen (February 22, 2013) were stolen. While the last complaint submitted to the SSP (Rural) clearly mentions that school staff is facing a lot of problems and studies are suffering owing to the regular visits they have to make to the police station and government offices. The non-registration of FIRs is also creating problems for the school making claims for more equipment, since the copy of an FIR is needed as an essential proof. Gurmeet Singh, ASI at Uggi police station, said, "I was not posted here when the theft happened. FIRs are registered at the Nakodar police station, where we have sent a report of the thefts." The SHO, Nakodar (rural) police station, Inspector Daljit Singh, also started on the same note. "I wasn't posted here during the thefts. I joined on February 17." However, when asked why he hadn't registered an FIR for the complaint made on February 22, he said, "We are very careful about the follow-up of complaints. Old FIRs have to be verified properly. I have had a word with the school staff and asked them to send details of thefts. We will get the FIRs registered." An incident regarding an attack on a schoolteacher by some masked assailants with sticks and weapons two years ago isn't even being followed up by the school authorities (leave alone police), because they say the matter has now been "hushed up". However, suspicion of unruly elements in the school or the area still exists. Notably, all six complaints have been forwarded to the DEO (S), but the department has never intervened or ensured registration of FIRs. Widespread trouble

Counsels for the respondents appeared and filed a written reply admitting that the articles were delivered after 34 days. They confirmed charging a postal fee of Rs 1,050 at the time of booking the Speed Post articles. The forum relied on a 1999 notification of the Ministry of Communications (Department of Post) as per which compensation of a delay in delivery of speed post articles beyond the norms determined by the Department of Post shall be equal to the composite speed post charges paid. The forum accepted the complaint and awarded Rs 1,050 as compensation and Rs 500 on account of litigation expenses. |
