Punjab may move HC against bail to Badals Ropar, December 10 Though senior government functionaries claim that the decision regarding the filing of the petition is yet to be taken officially, sources claim that the government may go ahead. Final decision, they assert, will be taken by the officers concerned only after carefully perusing the orders of the Special Judge pronounced in an open court room late Tuesday evening. Sources further confirm that the government may seek the cancellation of bail granted to the father and son, along with other reliefs, on more or less the same grounds taken before the Special Judge. The defence, on the other hand, is considering the possibility of filing an anticipatory bail plea on behalf of Mrs Surinder Kaur Badal. Off the record, supporters of the Badal family claim that the final decision will be taken only after consulting the former Chief Minister this evening. As of now they were concentrating on preparing for the next date of hearing before the Special Judge on December 13. Arguing before the Special Judge, the prosecution had earlier maintained that the Badals, besides committing the offence of corruption at Chandigarh, had also committed the same at other places in the state, including Ropar, Muktsar and Killianwali. Regarding the issue of proper sanction, it was added Sukhbir Badal was being prosecuted for a crime committed for the period during which he was not a public servant. In case of senior Mr Badal, sanction from the Speaker had been taken. The defence counsel, on the other hand, had argued that the court at Ropar was debarred from taking cognizance of the case in the absence of proper sanction. They had claimed that the Governor, and not the Speaker, was the competent sanctioning authority. The sanction accorded by the Speaker was “void”. Describing the charge sheet filed against the Badals as “political challan”, counsel had added that case had been initiated for creating defence in a complaint case filed by them against Punjab’s Chief Minister, Amarinder Singh. Regarding the question of territorial jurisdiction, they asserted that only the courts at Chandigarh could try the offences referred to in the first information report. |

Badal’s release adds to traffic blues in Patiala Patiala, December 10 Nearly 100 vehicles
collected in front of the jail, from where the SAD President emerged
after noon. The vehicles, which included a few mini trucks besides
cars and open gypsies, marched in a procession to the gurdwara
situated a little more than 1 km from the jail. Traffic on this road
was completely clogged for more than two hours. Traffic was also
disrupted on the Sirhind road situated along side the gurdwara as
enthusiastic Akalis marked the release of their leaders with a
firework display. Youngsters presented a gatka which also held up
traffic. A contingent of women chanted slogans while youngsters
performed bhangra on top of the bonnets of jeeps. Though there was a
large security on the occasion. When Akali workers resorted to a
firework display at the end of an impromptu rally at the gurdwara they
were stopped from doing so by police personnel posted on the spot.
They picked up the crackers and asked the workers to burst them away
from the main road to ensure continuity of traffic. A number of
police officers were posted all along the route with SP (Detective)
Inder Mohan Singh and ASP Kaushtav Sharma supervising the proceedings.

Online fiction on hate crime a big draw Amritsar, December 10 The short story —
‘No escape’ — by Mr Gurpreet Singh, a Canada-based short story writer and senior journalist from a leading north India English daily, has main characters Hardeep, a taxi driver, and his wife Raminder in the city of Seattle. Just five days after the twin tower attack, Hardeep, a family man, meets a group of boys who beat him up thinking him to be an Arab terrorist. It is a poignant tale about how a member of the local gurdwara board there tries to cash in on the attack on Hardeep to increase his popularity in Sikh circles abroad. The death of Hardeep’s father in Kanpur during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and his near brush with joining the terrorist ranks and being shaken out of it by his uncle after the lynching of his cousin are reminders that seem to underline the helplessness in the face of ungoverned power. The concluding part of the story in which Hardeep chooses to forgive his attackers brings forth the real character of Sikhism. The story has found rave reviews among online readers at the website’s communications and publications network. The website online stories to fight communalism in India and in the subcontinent started in 1993 are aimed to protect and promote human rights in India. Its editors Javed Anand and Teesta Setalvad are reportedly on the hit list of many pan-Hinduism organisations, including the VHP. |

after galliara Amritsar, December 10 According to a source the Chief Minister during his recent visit took a serious view of the expenses incurred on the payment of salaries of the 44 galliara employees, which had been borne by the project for the beautification of the Golden Temple surroundings. It was the responsibility of the corporation which had been avoiding to take over the maintenance and employees, due to financial crisis. The Additional Commissioner MC, Mr Kirpal Singh told ‘The Tribune although it was agreed that the entire maintenance of the Galliara Project would lie with the corporation but the commissioner had already taken up the issue with the Principal Secretary Local Bodies for giving special grant for the maintenance. He pointed out that the corporation had requested the Principal Secretary that the civic body would be willing to take over the maintenance after the completion of all five phases and without any encroachments.
