Attack on Dalits: case takes new turn Panipat, November 20 And with that, the compromise between the Dalits and their attackers, which was worked out by the police on November 17, seems to have run into
rough weather. Now the victims have alleged that the attackers had been harassing the Dalits and Muslims and they were not being allowed to use the 8-foot stretch of road which was given to them under the compromise. In a representation to the DC, the victims alleged that the Sarpanch of Khurad village, Gordhan, in connivance with the police, had been restraining them from levelling the 8-foot street. Demanding action against Gordhan, the victims alleged that their valuable articles such as TV, and taperecorders, which were forcibly taken away by the attackers on November 15, had not yet been returned. While walls of several houses were pulled down, five women were assaulted by the attackers, who wanted the families to vacate the prime “shamlat land”. These families were shifted to the present site from Nawada Paar village, which used to get flooded when the Yamuna was in spate in the monsoons. Certain influential persons of the area had been eyeing the prime land, whose prices had skyrocketed in the recent years and the November 15 attack was latest in the alleged series of terrorising tactics. While no case had been registered by the police till date, it did work out a compromise between the two parties. |

HIGH COURT Chandigarh, November 20 Delivering the verdict on a petition filed on the behalf of a Panipat-based firm, Mr Justice Mittal also quashed a first information report registered against the organisation in November, 1997, under Sections 420 and 408 of the IPC. The FIR was registered on the basis of a communication sent by a senior bank manager to the police authorities. The manager had claimed that the credit limit of Rs 75 lakh was initially sanctioned to the firm against hypothecation of stock. The limit was later enhanced. However, during a subsequent visit to the firm it was found that almost the entire stock had been disposed of without the bank’s consent and even without depositing the sale proceeds. Seeking the quashing of the case, counsel for the petitioner had contended that the bank as well as the police had completely failed to distinguish between the concept of hypothecation of stock and it’s pledging. In the current case, the stock was never pledged with the bank. He had added that mere non-payment of dues by a person to the bank could not attract the provisions of Section 420. After going through the documents and hearing arguments in the case, Mr Justice Mittal ruled: “It is clear that there was no allegation that the credit limit was got sanctioned by the firm or its partners by practicing any fraud upon the bank. Mere failure to keep up with the promise of repayment will not bring the case within the domain of Section 420 of the code. The petition succeeds and the FIR registered at Panipat Model Town Police Station is hereby quashed”. |
