BHATNAGAR CASE Chandigarh, June 22 General Budhwar, who was the General Officer Commanding of the Leh-based 3 Infantry Division during the Kargil conflict, deposed that the Court of Inquiry (COI) into the alleged disobedience by the accused was convened under his orders, consequent to which he gave directions on its findings and recommendations. He added that the investigations, however, had no relation to the charges which are now before the court. He was answering questions put to him by the defence through the court after the defence submission to cross-examine him was disallowed. When defence counsel, Capt Rajneesh Bansal asked whether he ordered or gave directions on any other COI related to the charges now before the court, the question was disallowed. Two other questions, whether the witness knew what charges the accused was facing now, and if he could produce the convening order of the COI and his directions on it, were also disallowed by the court with a directive that no further questions relating to the COI would be entertained. The court also did not allow the defence to get a copy of the COI verified by the witness as to whether it was the same COI which he had ordered and thereafter given directions. The court also disallowed the defence question seeking the circumstances under which the witness found the accused allegedly guilty of disobeying the command to attack Point 5203. When the defence sought a clarification from the witness over differences in his statements given at the summary of evidence and those before the court, the prompting by the Judge Advocate (JA), Maj Vipin Chakraborty led to heated arguments and acrimonious scenes in the court room. General Budhwar had stated during the summary of evidence that he had spoken to two JCOs of Major Bhatnagar’s company during his visit to Ganasok, whereas during his deposition before the court he said that he had spoken to only one of the JCOs. When the JA interjected that whether the witness had spoken to one JCO or both makes no difference, the accused lost his temper and began shouting at the court, alleging that the JA was trying to protect the witness and tutoring him in open court. He added that he had to raise his voice in order to shake the JA’s conscience. The witness had to be sent out and the court was closed. Even outside, the accused continued to vent his ire on the court. Later the accused insisted that the episode be brought on record and the reasons for the fracas be mentioned. Finally, it was the senior member of the court, rather than the JA, who recorded the said proceedings. |
| Demolition order stayed Chandigarh, June 22 Seeking directions against the demolition of the building, Mr Anil Kumar of Panchkula, in his petition taken up by the Bench, comprising Mr Justice S.S. Sudhalkar and Mr Justice K.S. Garewal, had earlier alleged that the order was not only illegal, it was also against the rules. Giving details, his counsel, Mr S.K. Jain and Mr Vikas Jain, had added that the order was against the law since the notice was issued to a respondent who had ceased to be the owner of the site due to the cancellation of its lease. Going into the background, they had stated that the Estate Officer had issued a notice under Section 15 of the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act for the demolition of the plot for certain violations. |
Brecht, Verma’s plays staged Chandigarh, June 22 The second day of the festival saw two plays, Bertolt Brecht’s ‘He Who Says Yes, He Who Says No,’ and Surendra Verma’s ‘Marnoprant’ enacted by the participants of a 10- day workshop organised by the Chandigarh Sangeet Natak Academy which was conducted by playwright and specialist in theatre in education for young adults Parnab Mukherjee. The first play ‘He Who Says Yes, Who Says No’, an amalgamation of two stories with two different endings, was based on the right to freedom from the social norms and customs, the moral being simple ‘say no when you want to say no’. The little boy in the story ‘He Who Say Yes’, who accompanies his teacher in a difficult journey to search for medicine, is left alone to die simply because he does not have the courage to say no to an age-old custom. However, in the second part ‘He Who Say No’ that came as a second thought to the author, the little boy draws courage to defy the custom to be left alone to die by his companions when he falls sick in the journey and lives to grow up to be a happy man. The second play ‘Marnoprant’ by Surendra Verma explored the emotions of a husband and the lover of a woman, go through after the woman dies in an accident. The husband (played by Anshuman) who discovers the lover’s existence in his wife’s life only by accident after her death, portrays the agony and sorrow at the betrayal, while the lover (played by Vinay) who finally gets curious to know the husband, expresses his resentment towards his beloved for not giving herself totally into the relationship. Their bittersweet memories about the deceased and their failure to possess her completely bind these two together in a bond that is both sad and thought provoking. Both plays were directed by Parnab
Mukherjee. |
