Special lok adalat settles 40 cases CHANDIGARH,
Aug 28 — The District Court complex in Sector 17 was laced with hectic activity today, with the special lok adalat held here on Sunday for settling accident claim petitions, deciding 40 cases. A total compensation of Rs 36.25 lakh was awarded to various accident victims. Another feature of the lok adalat was that it did not come wrapped up in a publicity package. Right after the lok adalat was inaugurated by Mr Justice G.S. Singhvi of the Punjab and Haryana High Court-cum-the Vigilance Judge of Chandigarh Sessions Division and Mr Justice N.K. Sodhi, Chairman, State Legal Services Authority, UT, the affair went on in a very serene manner. The people were guided around the premises, with the organisers setting up of two enquiry-cum-information counters, one on the main entrance and the other just near the courtroom of the Permanent Lok Adalat. Further, informatory literature containing the programmes and various schemes of the authority were also provided at the counters, apart from a list of the cases fixed to be settled during the day. Cases relating to all insurance companies — National Insurance, United Insurance, New India Assurance and Oriental Insurance — were taken up at the lok adalat where officials of insurance companies were also present in large numbers. The lok adalat was presided over by Dr Bharat Bhushan Parsoon, Judge, Permanent Lok Adalat, and member-secretary of the authority, Dr Ashok Gupta, Head of the Orthopaedic Department, General Hospital, and Mr K.K. Monga, social worker and member of the authority. While this lok adalat was a success, more such adalats will be organised in the near future as informed by the officials concerned. Special lok adalats are held sometimes. The Permanent Lok Adalat is also functioning in the District Court complex on a daily basis. The two visiting judges were received by the District and Sessions Judge-cum-Chairman, District Legal Services, Mr H.S. Bhalla, Dr Bharat Bhushan Parsoon, and all judicial officers of the District Court. |

I’ll never work with
government: Dhillon CHANDIGARH,
Aug 28 — Mangal Dhillon is extremely perturbed over the accusations being levelled against him by the DPR of the Punjab Government, so much so that today he went to the extent of saying that he would never deal with the Punjab Government ever again. While clearing his stand on the charge levelled against him by the DPR that he had cheated the government and had not made the due payment, Dhillon said that he had himself spent over Rs 55 lakh on the making of the Khalsa. Dhillon claimed that despite the fact that the Chief Minister had assured him of total support on the film which glorified the history of Sikhism, he was not given the promised support. He added that he was genuinely disgusted with the Punjab Government so much that he would not even come to Chandigarh except on a personal visit. He said,“After giving me just Rs 25 lakh for a film which was budgeted at Rs 75 lakh, they are now saying that they paid me money over and above the actual cost of the project. Denying the allegation that the film was not completed in time or screened in time, Dhillon said that the film was screened on April 13 and 14 last year. |

Human moods captured in
frames CHANDIGARH, Aug 28 — There is a lot of technique at play in the works being displayed at the IndusInd Bank Art Gallery. Right from the theme of the collection to the mode of realisation of ideas, there is a lot to the exhibition of photographs by Ashok Kaushal which catches the eye and captures the heart. The idea being experimented is rare too. The artist, for once, is not concentrating on live objects or images to display his skill. He is focusing on rather abstract expressions which have a special meaning. Modifications are clearly reflected in each photograph which has matured after managing powerful reflections by trapping light at various angles. The theme is so powerful that the collection could not have been termed anything but The Light and each frame contributes a little to give shape to it. "I am trying to project the source of creation. Right from birth till death, each one of us has to pass through a journey. It is this journey which I have tried to portray through my lens." Ashok, a civil engineer by profession, deals with human moods with great dexterity. The work begins and is seen reaching a destined end. The beginning is marked by a shot which shows an object symbolising human existence. It also shows the play of light on the various chains which denote human complexities. The work travels through phases of elation and depression which each one of us faces. A highlighting feature of the collection is the hope, which the artist does not miss to reflect, even in extreme dullness. Light is used with immense playfulness to show how human moods differ. Some frames revel in brightness, rendered by reds and yellows, while others are dipped in mustard to bring out the underlying sadness. In the end, however, it is bliss which rules the roost with the artist capturing shots in rainbow hues. As the artist himself says, "I am quite concerned about technique and I love experimenting. By basing my theme on the creation of mankind and its onward journey towards salvation, I have tried to realise my dream. Although I have not had any formal training, I have acquired some kind of understanding of the nuances of photography." The artist is also exhibiting his works in Delhi. The exhibition was inaugurated today by Dr D.C. Bhattacharya, Chairman, Department of Fine Arts and Director, Museum of Fine Arts, Panjab University. The works will be on the display till September 9. |
