Opinion against killers' release KARNAL, Dec 10 — Resentment prevails amongst a section of students in Haryana against the state government's move to secure the release of two students convicted by the Supreme Court for the murder of Mr Jasbir Singh, then president of the Students Federation of India. The (SFI) has stated that by securing the release of such persons, the Haryana government would be encouraging indiscipline in the universities and other educational institutions. The SFI had also demonstrated in Chandigarh against the government's move on December 30. Mr Rajbinder Chandi, district president of Students Federation of India and Member of the State Committee told The Tribune that Mr Jasbir Singh was the state president of the Students Federation of India when he was killed on October 23, 1986. He had been killed in Narhari Hostel of Kurukshetra University. Mr Jasbir Singh who was an activist in the Students Union of Kurukshetra University also was stabbed to death. It was after-10 years that the Supreme Court had sentenced three persons in August, 1997. They included Satta and Satbir sentenced to life imprisonment. Another student Himmat Singh, then president of the Students Union of Kurukshetra University was sentenced to five years imprisonment. The police during investigations had also identified one another accused i.e. Anoop, who could not be arrested as he had fled the country. He still is absconding in the case. Satta and Satbir Singh were lodged in Ambala jail. It is learnt that their release was secured on October 21, 1999. This became possible after the Haryana Cabinet recommended to the Haryana Governor, Mr Mahabir Prasad about the release of the two prisoners. The SFI has been alleging that both of them were sympathisers of the Indian National Lok Dal. Whether they were active members of the INLD could not be ascertained. The SFI office-bearers also stated today that they were thinking of challenging the order of the Governor in the appropriate court. For this purpose, they had approached Mr Shamik Lahiri, member of Parliament. Mr Chandi alleged that such act of the government would increase goondaism in the state and would hit the progressive movements in Haryana. The SFI also felt sad that the intellectuals had not reacted to the government's move as strongly as they should have. SFI office-bearers also apprehend that their members in Kurukshetra University and elsewhere could also be target of attack in the new set up. Enquiries by this reporter indicate that efforts by the authorities were on to secure the release of another student activist involved in a stabbing case on the Kurukshetra University campus. He is now lodged in Kurukshetra jail. Enquiries indicated that pressure was being built on the police to arrange for the release of this convict. There is a general
impression that if such elements released from jail, it
would vitiate atmosphere in educational institutions as
well as society. The SFI has also raised its voice
against the rising cost of professional education as well
as its privatisation in the state. It has also demanded
that steps should be taken for the restoration of the
process of elections for the Students Unions in the
colleges and universities of the state. |

Chancellor restores Registar's
powers ROHTAK, Dec 10 — Setting aside the orders of the Vice-Chancellor, the Haryana Governor and Chancellor of Maharshi Dayanand University, Mr Mahabir Prasad, today ordered that the Registrar would exercise full control of all university offices and branches, including the Establishment, Accounts and College branches. Restoring the administrative powers of the Registrar, Mr Ashok Khemka, the Chancellor said that Section 9-C(2) of Maharshi Dayanand University Act 1975 enjoins upon the Registrar the status of the Chief Administrative officer of the university and in that capacity, he was to oversee functioning of all university offices/branches under the overall superintendence, direction and control of the Vice-Chancellor. Further, the Chancellor said that Statute 38 of the Act specifically empowers the Registrar to effectively consider all matters concerning affiliation/recognition of colleges/courses or withdrawal of such affiliation/recognition. "These powers of the Registrar are inherent and original and cannot be taken away or exercised by any other person under any provisions of the Act and Statutes", the Chancellor said. However, contrary to these provisions, the Vice-Chancellor, Lt-Gen O.P. Kaushik (retd) withdrew the work of the Establishment Branch from the Registrar and entrusted the same illegally to Mr K.C. Bhardwaj, Controller of Examinations, the Chancellor said. The Governor-Chancellor said that Mr K.C. Dadhwal, Deputy Registrar (Colleges) and Mr K.S. Sharma, Deputy Registrar (Accounts), also officiating as Finance Officer, were already made to correspond directly with the Vice-Chancellor and other agencies by Mr Kaushik. The Chancellor said that the show-cause notices issued to the Registrar by the Vice-Chancellor on August 11 and 18 respectively were "baseless and only out of malice". The order of the
Vice-Chancellor vide which the work of the Establishment
Branch was withdrawn from the Registrar, was already in
flagrant violation of "my order No. HRB-UA-35
(5)-99/1076-79 dated February 16,1999", the
Chancellor said, and set aside the Vice-Chancellor's
order dated September 9 last. |
