MADHAN TRIAL Chandigarh, May, 19 Technically referred to as putting the prosecution evidence to the accused, the court sought the accused’s contention on incriminating evidence presented by the prosecution in the course of examining various witnesses. The accused gave a written statement in this regard. While denying charges levelled against him, the accused maintained that his Commanding Officer, Col M B Ravindranath did not appreciate the nature and extent of his knee injury. He claimed that once the CO initiated action against him, he became adamant on following them and other witnesses toed his line. The accused stated that he had sustained a knee injury while he was undergoing training in the academy, which had later healed. However, after slipping in his bathroom in June 1999 while he was deployed with his battalion in the Kargil Sector, the accused maintained that his injury had reopened, making it difficult for him to negotiate steep slopes or rocky terrain. He added that he had been advised three days rest for his injury by the Field Surgical Centre. The accused stated that he had never said to the CO at Sonamarg that the situation at Dras was very bad and that the battalion should avoid moving into that area. He said that the CO had arrived at the tail of the battalion and was alone when he had met him. The accused also contended he had stated before his CO that he was willing to perform any task, but the CO appointed him as the unit adjutant. He added that he performed all duties assigned to him as adjutant. He added that he had never refused to go as fire base commander and nor was it ever offered to him to go on pony or be carried by his men. He also stated that he had met Maj S S Bajaj only once and he had never told the major that his injury would take 10 - 15 days to heal. He added that Lt Col Sandeep Kala had never ordered him to go on recce to Three Pimples on June 25. The accused maintained that he had met the Regimental Medical Officer for the first time on June 4 and not on June 2. He also gave his version of the subsequent events related to his injury and consequent action taken against him. The court adjourned till May 21 as none of the witnesses sought by the defence were available today. The first witness the defence is seeking to examine is Lt Col N Sinha, who had admitted the accused to 153 General Hospital in Leh, from where he was referred to the Command Hospital, Chandimandir for surgery. |

Prosthetic centre’s plea dismissed Chandigarh, May 19 Challenging the suit, the petitioners had stated that the Civil Court had no jurisdiction to entertain the matter as it was barred under the Companies Act. They had added that the suit was not maintainable because the plaintiff had an alternative remedy. After hearing the arguments, the judge observed: “I am of the view that the impugned order does not suffer from any infirmity or irregularity regarding the jurisdiction of the civil court. This civil revision is dismissed.” |
Awards don’t cover film costs: producer Chandigarh, May 19 Talking to Chandigarh Tribune, Walia said though the film was completed in 1999, he could not muster enough courage to release it earlier, keeping in view the losses Punjabi movies were incurring. “After Shaheed-e-Mohabbat and Shaheed Udham Singh, the Punjabi audience is warming up to the idea of Punjabi feature films once again, and with Hindi movies keeping a low profile in the north, it is the best time to release the picture,” he added. Answering a question as to why after making a national award-winning movie like “Mein Ma Punjab Di,” he had switched to something commercial which could be categorised as a copy of any Hindi movie, Walia said though an award could satisfy the creativity in a person, it barely covered the costs. “With the government withdrawing patronage from the Punjabi film industry, the producers have no other option than to go in for commercial movies, which at least draws the Punjabi audience living abroad,” said Walia. The film has all ingredients — a love triangle, revenge, action and tragedy. The story unfolds with a young poet Shankar (played by Shivender Mahal) falling in love with a local girl Rano (played by Manjit Kular), who later gets married to an NRI Kulwant ( played by Deepak Saraf) and migrates to USA. The story gets a twist when Simran(played by Neeru Singh), younger sister of Kulwant, visits India and falls in love with Hans ( Randeep Varinder), who is Shankar’s younger brother. With the usual twist and intervention of a villain Musibat Singh, which costs Shankar’s life, the story ends with a happy note as the young lovers get united. The film is being directed by Balwant Dullat and has been written by Vijay Tandon, who is also playing the role of a comedian in the movie. Music has been being given by Atul Sharma.The rest of the cast includes B.B. Verma, Jaswant Daman, Pooja, Sanjivan, Ranjivan, Dr Dhaliwal, Kanwal Bedi, B.S. Khaira, Dr Surinder Sharma, Anil Sharma, Shamsher Sandhu and Surjit
Bindrakhia.  |
