Few takers for M.Sc IT Chandigarh, July 23 While five colleges of the city are offering 140 seats only 100 of these were filled by the end of the day. The day started with a smooth running of admissions in the morning with impeccable arrangements at the college for admissions. By the afternoon it was realised that there were not many takers for the reserved category seats and these were by four in the afternoon decategorised and declared open for admission by general category students. By late evening the general pool for admission to UT colleges was full while seats remained vacant in the UT pool. Ten students from the general category pool who wanted admission in city colleges were demanding that the UT pool seats which were left unfilled be dereserved for admission from the general category. But differences among principals of various colleges followed regarding a decision to this effect and the chief coordinator of the admissions, Prof Ramesh Kapoor, decided to take the advise of the Dean University Instructions, Panjab University. The decision regarding this is still pending. The students have been marked present and asked to contact the Principal of DAV College by 3 p.m. tomorrow for further action. Some students who had appeared in the entrance test for admission were, however, denied admission today as they did not fulfill the basic qualification of being BCA students.

HIGH COURT Chandigarh, July 23 In their petition against the Secretary Education of UT Administration, Director Public Instructions D.S.

woe in District
Courts Chandigarh, July 23 The condition outside the courts, corridors, in chambers becomes miserable. There is no place for the helpless litigants, even the security police personnel have to take the metal detectors away whenever they run for shelter in the corridors. The security personnel do not have a place to instal even their metal detectors once the rain is in its full fury. Moreover, a number of advocates sitting in the open have no option but to take refuge in unhygienic corridors; toilets get dirtier and complaints of electric shocks also rise in this season. The executive member of the Bar, Mr Jasminder Pal Singh, said the administration had failed to allot chambers to each advocate, thus adding to the woes of lawyers, sitting outside. He added that during the rainy season it was difficult to move to different courts through corridors. He said not only advocates but the condition of the typists, who are working in temporary sheds, also becomes miserable during rainy season as they have no dry area to work. Manjit Kaur, an advocate said “toilets are very unhygienic during the monsoon, corridors are filled with water and it is the duty of administration to provide at least a room for hundreds of daily visitors so that they can protect themselves from rain. Mr N.S. Minhas, an advocate, said the authorities have not done anything for the maintenance of the public utility services in the courts for the past several years. The vice-president of the District Bar Association, Mr Ashok Chauhan, said that he had complained regarding their problems and insanitary conditions in the courts to the District Court authority. The president of the District Bar Association, Mr H.S. Hundal, said despite a number of complaints the administration had failed to improve the unhygienic condition prevailing in the courts. He informed that the UT District and Sessions Judge had already sent a complaint letter to the administration for the maintenance of toilets but unfortunately the administration had failed to take note on the problem. Meanwhile, lawyers of the District Court sent a letter to the Chief Justice, of Punjab and Haryana High Court and UT District and Sessions Judge for providing facility of lift and dispensary in the District Courts here today. The lawyers for social reforms stated in their complaint that there had been three cases since 1997 where litigants and lawyers had died due to the non-provision of urgent medical treatment in the district courts complex. Therefore there was urgent need for taking appropriate steps for providing a lift for general public and also for establishing a permanent dispensary. The organisation also stated that three courts of judicial magistrate were housed on the fourth floor of the new courts block, where every person had to climb as many as 84 stairs and due to the non-availability of lift facility. The old and sick litigants and lawyers had to face a lot of problems and inconvenience. Although there is one lift in the premises but it is reserved only for judges. |

Judicial
remand for flesh trade accused Panchkula, July 23 It maybe recalled that eight persons, including four women, were arrested in this connection after the police raided houses in Sector 21 and Sector 15 last night. Earlier, two constables were sent as decoy customers at both places. In Sector 21, decoy customer Gurdev Singh gave a signed Rs 500 note to the pimp, Ajmer, who was arrested along with his accomplices, Rajbir and two girls, Sunita and Gita, in the subsequent raid. In Sector 15, Head Constable Balwant Singh was sent a decoy customer and a similar mode adopted to arrest the accused. At this place, Anil, Raju, Seema and Shalu were arrested from the house. Investigations revealed that Ajmer Singh and Anil operated as pimps and supplied girls to clients in Panchkula and around. While Shalu and Seema belonged to Delhi, the other two girls, Sunita and Gita, hailed from West Bengal. They were brought on a 15-day contract for the “business”. The police has registered cases under Section 3 and 4 of the Immoral Trafficking Act at the Sector 5 and 19 police stations. Meanwhile, the Panchkula police has arrested a member of a gang involved in thefts of electricity and telephone cables in the city and vicinity during the past over two months, and seized cables worth Rs 50,000 from his possession. Rulda Ram, a resident of Khataula village near Chandimandir, has been arrested on a tip off while his accomplice Tota Ram is still at large. Following the arrest of Rulda Ram, the police claims to have solved six cases of electricity and telephone cables theft. Mr Manoj Yadav, SP, said keeping in view the theft of cables in the jurisdictions of Raipur Rani police station and Ramgarh police post recently, a special team of CIA staff was constituted.
