Accused should get copy of FIR:
experts
Chandigarh, October 1 Speaking at a discussion on the right to have a copy of accusations, FIR and MLR, organised by the Punjab and UT Sections of the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) here, Justice Verma said the accused should have a right to get a copy of the FIR/MLR whenever he wanted. “These are basic documents that disclose why a person has been arrested or is to be arrested. Yet, it is unfortunate that the law has not set up any procedure to make getting these vital documents a right of the accused,” he said. Mr Jagmohan Chaudhary, Member, Law Commission, Punjab, also talked of the urgent need for an amendment in the Criminal Procedure Code. He said this simple step would go a long way in simplifying the procedure for the grant of bail etc. Advocate T.S. Sangha said though the FIR was a public document and could be inspected in the court, it was not given to the accused. However, the complainant was entitled to get the same, which was ironical. This violated Article 21 of the Constitution, he added. Punjab and Haryana High Court Bar Association president Anmol Rattan Sidhu, while supporting the other speakers, said if need be, a PIL should be filed in this matter. Advocate Navkiran Singh said the absence of a procedure of the supply of a copy of the FIR/MLR to the accused had given rise to corruption. “The only way to get a copy of these is to bribe the police or the staff of the magistrates,” he observed.

CBI directed to inspect malkhanas
A Full Bench of the High Court comprising Chief Justice Mr Justice B.K. Roy, Mr Justice Swatanter Kumar and Mr Justice Nirmal Singh today directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conduct an inspection of the malkhanas (storerooms) of the police stations in Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh to check the position of narcotic drugs seized by the police. The CBI was also directed to check the amount of drugs kept in the malkhanas, the status of the accused from whom the drugs were allegedly recovered and to find the number of such accused who have got bail due to the failure of the police to file challan within the stipulated 90 days. Giving these directions on the petition of a Kurukshetra woman. She had appeared in person before the court, seeking its intervention in the alleged attempt of the Kurukshetra police to implicate her in a false case of the sale of illicit liquor. The woman had told the court that she had been caught by some police officers, who asked her to appear in the police station the next day. She claimed that the police was going to book her falsely for having illicit liquor. At that time she was pregnant. During the previous hearings, the court had been told that it is common for the police to store narcotic drugs seized from criminals in the malkhanas. These drugs, it was alleged, are either sold or planted on innocent persons by the police to implicate them in false cases. |
Songs beckon the divine in
nature
Chandigarh, October 1 They sang with passion and they sang to please none other than God. The last musical sequence was indeed the jewel in the crown of today’s presentation, as it offered the gathering an opportunity to soak in Bulle Shah’s legendary kaafi “Tere ishq nachaya…” in a new musical format. Although somewhat in the footsteps of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Mohammad Arif, young leader of the musical troupe from Pakistan, enriched his offering with a style that emphasised the clarity of words more than the technical finesse of a musical piece. The beginning was also well made with Ghulam Shabir presenting a Seraiki dora in raag Sarang. Set to 16 beats, this sequence was amazingly endowed in poetry and music alike. It went, “Pardes gaya inha sajna da pichha hanta bohut dur hai.” Immediately changing the track, Shabir struck a nostalgic folk melody, “Gaddi challi ae te teshan khali, ronde reh gaye ne nain sawaali…” Offering a rich fare of folk, classical and semi-classical music, the artistes cast a magical spell. They further endeared the gathering by choosing to sing Shiv Kumar Batalvi’s “Assan taan jawaan rute marna”. The group’s very own poet, Ahmad Faqir, then presented his piece, “Jainde naal havi dukh sukh sanjha dus O bhaiwal da kya sochi.” This piece gave way to Mohammad Javed’s recitation of a Multani dora in raag Bhim, which was followed by a folk song in the same raag. Another impressive recitation of a Seraiki dora in raag Jog came from Master Mohammad Ishaq, who handed over the dais to his leader Arif, who sang as though to beckon all that is divine in nature. In his call, he inspired all. The programme was held in collaboration with the Federation of Migrant Groups from North-Western India (now Pakistan). |
