Marital wear and tear does not imply cruelty: Court
New Delhi, September 5 Hearing the wife’s plea, Justice Madan Lokur said that merely because the marriage has irretrievably broken down due to the passage of time spent in courts, it would not be legally correct to dissolve the marriage. The Justice held that on the basis of various Supreme Court judgments, it could be said that for the conduct of a spouse to amount to cruelty, it should be such as to make it virtually impossible for the other spouse to enjoy a healthy and normal life. “Cruelty can be said to be an act committed with the intention to cause sufferings to the opposite party. Austerity of temper, rudeness of language, occasional outburst of anger, may not amount to cruelty though it may amount to misconduct.” Moreover, one has to look at the overall conduct of the parties, and take their sensitivities and sensibilities into account. Even an act or two may amount to cruelty if it results in an apprehension of a spouse that it is not possible to maintain a conducive matrimonial home, the judge said. Cruelty would mean conduct that makes it impossible for one party to live with another. Cruelty should be of such a nature as to make it injurious or harmful for one spouse to live with the other. The Apex Court, however, has emphasised the need to distinguish it from the normal wear and tear of matrimonial life, the court said. Though a few incidents could not form the basis of cruelty, it also did not depend on numerical counts or had to remain for some period of time even accusations made on a letter could amount to cruelty, it added.
Lawyers to abstain from work today
The advocates of Delhi High Court and subordinate courts will abstain from work tomorrow to protest against Friday’s police crackdown on lawyers in Lucknow. This was decided at a meeting of the Co-ordination Committee of the Subordinate Courts’ Bar with the members of the Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA) Executive Committee last evening, a DHCBA release said. The meeting passed a resolution condemning the “brutality and the high-handedness” of the Lucknow police in dealing with the agitated lawyers and demanded “immediate penal action against the erring police officials and the District Magistrate”. The DHBA felt that the probe ordered by a retired judge was not the solution “as the earlier reports indicting the guilty officers involved in similar acts are still lying in the coffers of the government without any effective action”. It urged Chief Justice of India Justice R.C. Lahoti to take suo motu action and issue notices to all concerned. The DHCBA members “shall also skip the day’s meal on Monday and all canteens, eating places, including the kiosks in the High Court compound, shall remain closed for the day”, it said. Yesterday advocates of the lower courts at Patiala House, Tis Hazari and Karkardooma boycotted all judicial work to protest what they called “human rights violations committed by the police in Lucknow”. About 40 people were injured in clashes between advocates and police in Lucknow on Friday after the car of former Avadh Bar Association president L. P. Misra was hit by another vehicle during checking. The police resorted to lathi-charge as cops on duty were allegedly manhandled.

Development on paper only in Dadri villages!
An appalling bungle worth lakhs of rupees for development in villages of Dadri Tehsil has come to light. All the development works with the funds of the MLA/MP were done only on paper, it is learnt. Payments amounting to Rs 50 lakh have allegedly been released. With the bungle out in the open, District Magistrate Santosh Yadav has ordered an inquiry which will be conducted by a three- member team. A sum of Rs 12 lakh has been paid for repair of roads, parks and for many other on-going development works in Dadri town from the MP’s fund, while the roads and parks continue to be in bad repair. The work is said to be complete but only on paper, with each stone fixed there surprisingly shown to be priced at Rs 50,000. The payment for this is also said to have been released. Works in
Rupwas, Manjori villages and 12 other places have come to light in which a bungle amounting to Rs 50 lakh has been alleged. Ironically, not a single paise worth of work has been done, the sources disclosed. The file however was complete. Dadri SDM Yoginder Yadav brought the matter to the notice of the District Magistrate who has ordered an inquiry into the whole
matter. SDMs J.B. Singh, and Rajiv Gupta and District Development Officer Tej Pal Singh are members of the inquiry committee. Most of the departmental officials are suspected to have a hand in the fraud.

Chairman ‘flip-flops’ on power workers’ demands
Faridabad, September 5 The Chairman of the Power Utilities in a meeting held on May 21 had accepted several demands, but the majority of them were still to be implemented, the union has alleged. The authorities had still been transferring the staff on political grounds and getting the work done through the contractor system despite poor results witnessed by the power department and growing resentment of the consumers. The union which held a protest meeting outside the department’s office here on Friday, submitted a memorandum to the Chairman, through the local officials. According to a union spokesperson, several protest meetings were held in the district and the state on Friday and all the technical and non-technical staff at the various sub-divisions took part in these meetings. He claimed that the Chairman of the Power Utilities in a meeting held in May had accepted several demands, but the majority of them were still to be implemented. The demands which had been accepted included a job in the department to the kin of the employees who lose their lives on duty, promotion to certain grades, regularisation of all the part-time employees after getting their posts sanctioned, withdrawing the ‘bogus’ chargesheets against the staff, ending the ‘forced retirement’ policy and stopping the transfers of the employees on political grounds. Meanwhile, the Haryana Tourism Employees Union, affiliated to the Sarva Karamchari Sangh, Haryana, has called off its agitation regarding their demand for suspension of the principal of the Food Craft Institute here. A leader of the union claimed that the official had apologised in writing to the staff for slapping an employee recently. He said the managing director of the Haryana Tourism had personally requested the employees to forgive the officer at a meeting held in Chandigarh recently. He said the employees had raised the issue of ‘misusing’ the services of the students of the Food Craft Institute and the alleged misbehaviour with the staff.

New catering ventures to promote tourism
New Delhi, September 5 This is part of its plan to encourage private participation in creating facilities aimed at boosting tourism in the Capital. The step would result in giving not only a wide choice to customers but also help in efficient management of these Coffee Homes, Tourism Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely said. Besides variety in food items, several new flavours of coffee will be available at these Coffee Homes. The government has already announced that it would construct multi-purpose coffee homes in various parts of the Capital that would remain open 24 hours a day and upgrade the present ones. These Coffee Homes would be built on a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) basis and will have the latest facilities including shopping complex, restaurants, STD booths and cyber-cafes and banquets. High-tech tourist information centres, pilgrimage tour packages and development of tourist complexes with water sport facilities are some of the highlights of the Delhi Government’s ambitious plan to promote tourism. Outlining these schemes, Education and Tourism Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely said the government would soon open computerised information centres to guide foreign tourists to monuments of historical significance. The Tourism Department will also introduce some new tour packages to pilgrimage and heritage sites. The destinations include Gokul-Vrindavan, Amritsar, Ajmer Sharif, Ananadpur Sahib, Jwalaji and Dharamsala, he said. Radio cabs providing connectivity within the National Capital Region will be made available to the tourists, the minister said. He was speaking at a seminar on “Integrated Tourism Development: Synergising Northern Region States”. He said a tourist complex having water sport facilities on the pattern of Essel World in Mumbai, bird-watching and camp experience facilities will be soon provided in Chhawla and Kanganheri villages near Bijwasan in south-western Delhi. Besides, low-budget hotels in one to three-star categories will also be constructed to meet the shortage of lodging facilities for the middle-class tourists, he said, adding that the government would soon speak to the DDA to provide land on reasonable rates for the purpose. The minister said the department has also drawn up a plan to ensure proper hygiene around places of historical importance in the Capital. For this, municipal magistrate will be deployed to sensitise the officials and the general public. Besides, a youth camp site will be developed on the National Highway 8 where the Tourism Department has got one acre land. Private participation will be sought for management and operation of these camps, Mr Lovely said.

Haryana Tourism employees’ stir against govt policies
Gurgaon, September 5 The agitation is being spearheaded by the Haryana Tourism Karmachari Sangh, under whose banner the proposed convention will be held. A Sangh functionary stated that the convention, to be organised at Karnal, will be attended by its members from every district of the state. Among others, the state president of the Sarv Karmachaari Sangh and top leaders of CITU and other
organisations relating to the employees, will address the convention. The Sangh has made it clear that it was not happy with the policies of the state government which were adversely affecting the interests of the employees. Some of the policy decisions allowing contract system, privatisation, retrenchments and transfers have got the Sangh’s goat. The functionary said that the “adversarial” policies of the government have put a large number of the workforce in Haryana Tourism on the breadline. He alleged that the government was reneging on its promises made to the associations relating to the employees. The promises were part of an understanding reached between the two sides.

CBSE plans to extend grade system till Class eight
New Delhi, September 5 “We have already sent circulars to all schools asking for their opinion on introduction of a seven-point grading system from Class six to eight,” the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Chairman Ashok Ganguly said. The CBSE had introduced a five-point grading system up to Class five from this academic session. There are no fail grades under this system.
