Prohibitory orders in 2 Meghalaya districts
Shillong, December 13 The district administrations of East Khasi Hills, which houses state capital Shillong, and Ri-Bhoi promulgated the prohibitory order under Section 144 of the CrPC in view of the bandh beginning 7 am tomorrow. The bandh duration, which was reduced from 24 hours to 20 hours in view of wedding celebrations, would cover two Khasi hills and one Ri-bhoi districts. Earlier on Saturday, the KSU did not turn up for talks with the government on the three issues. Home Minister H.D.R. Lyngdoh today said the matters relating to the KSU’s demands were entrusted with the respective district administrations. He said the state government was keeping an “open mind” on the issue of uranium mining in certain areas and was yet to make any decision. It was, therefore, pre-mature on the part of the KSU to allege that the administration did not fulfil its demand. Regarding checking of influx of foreigners and outsiders, he said the matter was already considered by the Cabinet Committee on Public Grievances which appointed another sub-committee headed by Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Paul Lyngdoh in consultation with student bodies like the KSU. The sub-committee recommended implementation of an identity card system and a legal framework for a work-permit system. The matter was in “an advanced stage” of consideration by the Cabinet committee before recommending to the Cabinet, he said.

CBI claims lots of evidence against Chandraswami
New Delhi, December 13 “A lot of evidence have been collected against the suspect in the case,” CBI counsel Mohammed Shakeel submitted before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Rivinder Dudeja, hearing FERA cases against Chandraswami. The high-profile tantrik, facing several FERA cases, had sought court’s permission to go abroad for two months as it had been the main condition for granting him bail by the apex court. The probe in the Rajiv Gandhi murder was being conducted by the Multi Disciplinary Monitoring Agency (MDMA) comprising officers from various probe agencies, set up by the government as follow up of the recommendation of the Jain Commission, which had gone into the conspiracy angle of the assassination. The ACMM agreed to the request of Shakeel Mohammed, who appeared in the court along with MDMA Chief Investigator B.N. Mishra to examine the “evidence” in his chamber rather than the open court. |

Arumugam, Devraj, Satish and Arun, who made a ‘proxy’ surrender in connection with the case in a court in Chennai in October.

India, Slovak pacts on economy, culture
New Delhi, December 13 The agreements pertaining to economic cooperation, cultural exchange programme and cooperation in small scale industries, were signed by ministers and senior officials of the two sides in the presence of the visiting Slovak President Ivan Gasparovic and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. President Gasparovic and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh also had talks and later this evening Dr Gasparovic held talks with President A. P. J. Abdul Kalam. Both sides affirmed that the UN had an important role to play in dealing with the present-day challenges and maintained that it was imperative to reform the UN structure to bring it in conformity with the global realities. They were of the view that India’s permanent presence as a largest democracy in the world in an expanded UN Security Council would give it greater legitimacy and enhance its effectiveness. Diplomatic circles here attach a lot of significance to President Gasparovic’s state visit to India as it is not only the first India visit by a Slovak President, but also the first by the head of state of a country that has recently acceded to the European Union. The extent of importance New Delhi attaches to this visit is clear from the fact that President Gasparovic met virtually the entire Indian leadership. Apart from the Prime Minister and the President, the Slovak President also met Vice-President Bhairon Singh Shekhawat, Defence Minister George Fernandes, External Affairs Minister K. Natwar Singh and Minister for Commerce and Industry Kamal Nath. The two sides agreed that terrorism undermined the very foundation of freedom and democracy and reaffirmed that no cause could justify terrorism. |

IUML for proportionate quota for Muslims
Mumbai, December 13 He also demanded proportionate reservations to Muslims in government services, public and private sector, higher education and in Parliament, legislature and local bodies. Mr Banatwalla sought the setting up of a permanent statutory compensation commission with schemes for compensation and rehabilitation of victims of communal violence. The memorandum also listed a number of concrete proposals to be incorporated in the development package. He said a signature campaign in support of the demand would be launched soon. It would be submitted to the Prime Minister and chief ministers of every state. The state units of the IUML would organise a signature campaign in every state. Muslims, the memorandum said, suffered from higher incidence of poverty, lower literacy rates, higher unemployment rate, high ratio of casual labour, poor consumption expenditure, lesser access to land, poor flow of credit from banks and financial institutions, marginalisation in official economic dispensations like grant of licenses and dealerships and in housing and other schemes as well as participation in administrative, police and defence services. The signature campaign on the memorandum is expected to conclude by January 31 next year. — UNI

NTR’s wife booked on cheating charge
Hyderabad, December 13 The Banjara Hills police registered the case against Ms Parvathi, president of the now-defunct NTR Telugu Desam Party, on a direction from the second Additional Senior Civil Judge of city civil court to investigate a complaint by Mr N. Ramakrishna, son of N.T. Rama Rao. Mr Ramakrishna’s complaint said that Ms Parvathi was in illegal possession of a house in the Banjara Hills area, which she sold off last month. Being the GPA holder of the property on behalf of his sister Ms Umamaheswari, Mr Ramakrishna stated that he had filed an eviction suit in 1999, complaining that even after the death of his father, Ms Parvathi, who was NTR’s second wife, was in illegal occupation of the house. Even as the case was pending in the court, Ms Parvathi sold the property producing a fabricated document, he claimed, adding that NTR never executed any will in favour of Ms Parvathi. A case under Sections 420 (cheating), 468 (forging for purpose of cheating) and 471 (using as genuine a forged document) of the IPC was filed against Ms Parvathi. |

Dawood threats to Best Bakery accused
Mumbai, December 13 Judge Abhay Thipsay of the special court hearing the Best Bakery case today ordered superintendent of the Arthur Road Central Jail Swati Sathe to appear after reports said a conspiracy had been hatched to kill all 17 accused lodged there. According to media reports here, members of the Dawood Ibrahim gang who share the Arthur Road Central Jail here with the accused were planning to kill all 17 accused persons by mixing poison in their food. The plan was reportedly foiled after the jail authorities found detailed instructions with some inmates to carry out the murders. Several members of the Dawood Ibrahim gang who have been accused of carrying out the serial bomb blasts in Mumbai in March, 1993, are also lodged in the same jail. Maharashtra’s Home Ministry quickly sought to rebut the reports, saying that the accused in the Best Bakery case are lodged in separate barracks with no access to other prisoners in the jail. Meanwhile, the police here have begun investigations on the threatening mails received by Special Judge Abhay Thipsay, who is hearing the Best Bakery case. Reports said the Judge had handed over all such letters to the police. The state government has, however, tightened security for the judge at the court and at his residence. The special court where the Best Bakery re-trial is being conducted has been set up at specially fortified barracks in Mazgaon in Central Mumbai. |

Quashing of IT case against Laloo, Rabri justified
New Delhi, December 13 This has been contended by the CBDT in its affidavit filed before the Supreme Court, which today adjourned hearing on a petition
seeking cancellation of Mr Yadav’s bail in the fodder scam case for allegedly interfering in the trial proceedings. The bail was sought to be cancelled by JD(U) MP Rajiv Ranjan Singh and BJP MP Sushil Modi, whose counsel Saurabh Kirpal pleaded before a Bench of Mr Justice S.N. Variava and Mr Justice H.K. Sema that there was apprehension of the Patna Special Judge hearing the fodder scam cases, be shifted to a “Family Court”. Kirpal alleged that the apprehension of “interference” in the case was not without basis as the Special Judge had adjourned hearing in the case since July 20 times without any reason and now there was talks going on about his being shifted to “Family Court”. The CBDT, meanwhile, had also justified its action of not moving an appeal against the ITAT order of July 2, claiming that no case for appeal was made out. It said the decision not to file the appeal was based on the legal opinion on the July 2, order of the ITAT. The Board also raised doubts over the petition, saying the allegations raised in it were “unfounded, misconceived and unsustainable”. However, Kirpal alleged that the appeal was not being preferred by the CBDT under pressure from the Railways Minister. He said the ITAT had quashed the case by deputing a special officer from Delhi to Patna which only dealt with Laloo and Rabri’s case. The CBDT is the second government agency after the CBI to support action in Laloo’s case. The CBI had even gone a step further by terming the petition in its affidavit as “politically motivated”, which observer said was unusual on the part of the agency which normally deals with high-profile political cases. |

SC issues notices to truckers on overloading
New Delhi, December 13 A Bench comprising Justice Y. K. Sabharwal and Justice P. P. Naolekar issued the notices after hearing counsel Rajeev Singh for petitioner Prem Kumar Chaudhury, who alleged that the authorities turn a blind eye to the overloaded trucks as they had taken Special Token/Golden Card issued by the states. It was alleged by the petitioner that the three state governments were vigorously pursuing the scheme of Special Token/Golden Card in the name of massive revenue generation and did not impound the trucks, which availed the scheme. |

SC seeks Petroleum Ministry’s response
New Delhi, December 13 A Bench of Mr Justice Y K Sabharwal and Mr Justice P P Naolekar said the response of the Ministry would confine only to the question of “principles” laid down by the committee for ordering cancellation on the ground that those were made in violation of rules and guidelines to ineligible persons. The committee comprising former judges S.C. Agrawal and P K Bahari was assigned the job of scrutinising 409 allotments, of which 297 were found by it as “tainted”. The court also directed the allottees to submit “joint synopsis” of their plea on “common points” they proposed to raise on the question of “principles” considered by the panel for recommending the cancellation of 297 dealerships. Both, the ministry and the
allottees were directed to submit their responses by January 10 so that further direction in the case could be issued by the court on next hearing fixed for January 18. Since the allottees had raised different grounds in their applications challenging committee’s
recommendations, the Court ordered that a senior advocate be appointed as amicus curiea to assist it in adjudicating the case to avoid multiplicity of arguments. In an observation, the Court asked the Union Government Counsel A D N Rao to specify the arrangement the Ministry plans to make in those areas where the 297 outlets were located to maintain the supply of petroleum products to the consumers. At one point Rao said the companies concerned would take over their control, but later he sought time to inform the court about the Ministry’s position in this regard. Of the 297 allotments ordered to be cancelled 54 are located in three northerern states of which Punjab accounted for 29, Haryana (14), Himachal Pradesh (11), while Maharashtra had maximum of 51, followed by Rajasthan (37), Uttar Pradesh (33), Bihar (26), Andhra Pradesh (24), Karnataka (22), Gujarat (10), Jharkhand (9) and Orissa one. |

Varanasi-Lucknow Highway blocked
Jaunpur (UP), December 13 The blockade, which began this morning continued for several hours and was lifted only after the intervention of the senior officials. Addressing the workers, the LJP state General Secretary, Mr Raj Kumar Ojha, who is also the president of the Poorvanchal Gathan Morcha, said the solution to the problems being faced by the people of the eastern region lay in the creation of a separate state on the lines of Uttaranchal. He alleged that the successive governments of the state had turned a blind eye to the problems of the region and there was no infrastructure in the areas. Later a memorandum addressed to the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and state governor T.V. Rajeswar was also submitted to the district magistrate demanding creation of the poorvanchal state.

Assam militants ban bamboo cutting
Diphu, December 13 The ban, imposed by the United People’s Democratic Solidarity (UPDS) under its agenda ‘’Preservation of natural resources,’’ is aimed at protecting the green cover against the merciless cutting of trees in Karbi Anglong and North Cachar Hills districts, a UPDS spokesman said. The ban on bamboo cutting may affect the Jagiroad-based Brahmaputra valley’s only paper industry under Hindustan Paper Co.Ltd (HPCL), according to HPCL sources. The militant group, however, made it clear that the Hindustan Paper Co Ltd. would be permitted to use the bamboo fields of the twin hill districts again after two years only if they take fruitful initiatives to rejuvenate the green cover within the period. ‘’They would not be permitted to cut a single bamboo from any part of the region from today as they are not serious at all to revitalise the bamboo fields,’’ UPDS joint secretary Wajeru Mukrang said at a press meet in Diphu, headquarters of Karbi Anglong district today. Both the Ashok paper mill in Cachar and the Jagiroad Paper Mill in Assam’s Morigaon districts under the HPCL are using the forests of the two hills districts as sources of raw materials. Eight years ago under the same ‘Preservation of natural resource’ agenda the militant group banned using pesticides in fishing in the rivers running through the heart of the twin hill districts and stopped killing all sorts of wild animals in the forest areas. ‘’After eight years, the number of wild pigs and elephants has increased many times and this has happened only for that ban imposed in 1996,’’ Mr Mukrang said. More than 70 per cent of the raw materials for the profit-making Jagiroad mill come from Karbi Anglong. The HPCL has targeted to receive 140,000 tonnes of bamboo from Hamren and East division of Karbi Anglong. The ban might not affect the Cachar-based unit of the HPCL.’’We have nothing to tell the Cachar mill. Our present drive is targeted only against the Jagiroad mill authorities who are yet to undertake plantation of bamboo even when it would be for their own benefit,’’ Mr Mukrang said. He alleged that the government undertaking paper unit just spent some money through a few NGOs for plantation of new bamboos, but this was not enough to restore the ecological balance which the industry has been destroying for the past two decades. A source of the HPCL’s Jagiroad unit said the step of the Karbi militant group might affect production directly as the unit has to depend mainly on the hill district for raw materials. ‘’We have enough raw materials at this moment in stock, but our unit would suffer only if the ban is not lifted in near future,’’ the source added.

Nanavati panel inspects burnt coach at Godhra
Godhra, December 13 Accompanied by lawyers, representing the state government and the Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) espousing the cause of the riot victims, retired Judge of the Supreme Court G.T. Nanavati and retired Chief Justice of Gujarat High Court K.G. Shah, inspected the second class coach and the area around “A-Cabin” of Godhra railway station where miscreants allegedly halted and stoned the train on February 27, 2002, before setting S-6 coach on fire. As many as 59 passengers in the coach had perished in the blaze, that triggered unprecedented communal riots in the state that claimed about 1,000 lives. The commission team also travelled in a rail engine from platform number one to Signal Falia where the train was torched. Besides the two judges, those who joined the team, included government lawyers Arvind Pandya, Jayant Panchal, Sumit Shah and T.S. Nanavati, NGO lawyer Mukul Sinha, District Magistrate Dinesh Brahmabhatt, Inspector General of Police (Crime) Rakesh Ashthana, District Superintendent of Police Brajesh Jha and other officials of the railways, the police and the administration. Apart from the places related to the incident such as, Signal Falia, A-Cabin and Aman Guest House, from where the inflammable liquid had been allegedly procured by the miscreants, the panel also inspected platform number one with vendors whose stalls were ordered closed today, standing in exactly the same position as they were on that fateful day. The panel also quizzed the present railway employees about the incident. Police sources said the commission, which had secured the permission from a POTA court in Ahmedabad after the Railway Police declared the coach its protected property last week, had come to verify the statements and affidavits of the survivors, victims and others related to the torching incident. Justice Nanavati, who leads the panel, and the visiting team members, later told reporters that the commission’s third visit was intended at cross-checking what those related to the incident had told the panel so far. He said the panel had received more than 40,000 affidavits and wanted to submit its final report to the state government by December 2005, when its extended term is scheduled to expire.

SC notice on Hindu Succession Act
New Delhi, December 13 A Bench comprising Chief Justice R. C. Lahoti and Justice G. P. Mathur issued the notice on a writ petition filed by one Jyoti Wazir, challenging the provision of the Act, saying it violated Article 14 and 15 of the Constitution guaranteeing right to equality and non-discrimination on the grounds of gender. The petitioner said the provision of the Hindu Succession Act provided that if a Hindu died intestate than the woman would not have the right to seek partition of the property and would get share only when the male heirs decided to divide it. Moreover, the woman could get a right to reside in the undivided property only if she was unmarried or faced desertion or separation from her husband, or was widowed. She contended that when Article 14 guaranteed the right to equality and Article 15 guaranteed the right to non-discrimination on the grounds of sex, how could Section 23 of the Hindu Succession Act make a provision, which so obviously favoured male heirs.

Probe panel indicts Rly Board chief
New Delhi, December 13 Along with Mr Singh, the panel has also fixed responsibility for the accident in Khanna, near Ludhiana on the Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO) — the Lucknow-based research and development body of Indian Railways — for turning a blind eye on the purchase of allegedly substandard rails from the Bhilai Steel Plant. Significantly, another officer indicted by the commission, then Northern Railway’s chief engineer J.P. Shukla, has been appointed Chairman and Managing Director of Rail Vikas Nigam. The one-man judicial commission headed by retired High Court Judge G.C. Garg that probed the cause of the accident on November 26, 1998, submitted its voluminous report to the Railway Ministry on July 15. But the report, a copy of which is with IANS, has since been gathering dust with Mr Singh sitting at the helm of affairs in the Railway Board that is the nodal body for setting policy guidelines for safety standards for the railways. Mr Singh was the Railway Board’s executive director (tracks) when the tracks were procured from the Bhilai Steel Plant. All the correspondence between him and the steel plant clearly indicated that Mr Singh was aware of the fact that the rails supplied were substandard and yet he went ahead with their procurement. In its reaction to the media reports, the Railway Ministry said on Monday it was “scrutinising the report of Justice G.C. Garg Commission on Khanna Rail accident, which took place on November 26, 1998.” The accident was caused by collision of the Sealdah-bound 3152 down Sealdah Express with the Amritsar-bound 2903 up Golden Temple Mail after the latter derailed. As for the charge of having kept the report under wraps, the ministry said in a statement: “Such reports of the commission require detailed scrutiny by various Directorates of the Ministry of Railways. Action Taken Report (ATR) on the Garg Commission is required to be submitted to Parliament within six months of the receipt of the Report, which is due by January 15, 2005, and the same is being ensured by the Railway Ministry.” The Ministry held that when the Khanna accident took place, “the present Railway Board Chairman, Mr R.K. Singh, was not in the Track Directorate of the Railway Board, but was chief engineer, North Eastern Railway, Gorakhpur.” It clarified that R.K. Singh was executive director in the Track Directorate from April, 1996, to November, 1997, only. “He (Singh) has had, thus, no relationship with the cause of the Khanna rail accident,” the Ministry stated. The Ministry has also denied the charge of any lapses stating, “At no point of time the rail safety was compromised.” The Commission report on the other hand clearly states the approval of purchase of sub-standard rail tracks by the track directorate of the Railway Board was primarily responsible for the accident that occurred due to a fracture of the rails. “It was well within the knowledge of the Railway Board, specially the Track Directorate, that the quality of the rail supplied by the Bhilai Steel Plant was sub-standard and not as per the specifications of the Track Directorate of the Railway Board for the manufacture of rails by the Bhilai Steel Plant,” says the report. The inquiry commission has expressed shock that the Track Directorate ignored the fact that “such substandard and defective rails would endanger the safety of travelling public”.

Sidhu hogs limelight
in Lok Sabha
New Delhi, December 13 “You have got a lot of admirers here. We are waiting for your Sidhuisms,” Speaker Somnath Chatterjee observed as soon as Mr Sidhu stood up to respond to the reply of Minister of Road Transport and Highways T. R. Baalu’s statement on a calling attention motion. Mr Sidhu had moved a calling attention motion of the minister for the early completion of four-lane road from Jalandhar to Amritsar and steps taken by the government in that regard. He sought the government’s response on how tenders were being invited for the stretch of the road when the government had earlier said the project had yet not been approved. Mr Sidhu said it was a question of national prestige when one experiences potholed roads on the Indian side while on the other side of the border in Pakistan one comes across a well-laid out six-lane highway. “There is no fruit without the root,” was one of Sidhu’s one liners followed it by a couplet. When he wanted to speak again after the minister’s reply, the Speaker allowed him even though he made it clear that “this should not be taken as a precedent. I am allowing because of your sportsmanship,” In his response, Road Transport Minister T. R. Baalu recalled that he had complimented Mr Sidhu as a cricketer but went on to tell the BJP member that he was “cent per cent misinformed” about the status of the project. |

Legislators have their way; flight cancelled
Nagpur, December 13 The flight was cancelled this morning only after repeated protests from the passengers who felt suffocated, the members told the House. During Zero Hour, Janardhan Chandurkar (Cong) drew the attention of Speaker Babasaheb Kupekar towards the incident, saying there were 10 to 12 ministers and more than 45 MLAs on board to take part in the proceedings of the second week of winter session of the state legislature. When the passengers noticed that the air-conditioning system had failed and drew attention of cabin crew towards this, the pilot did not listen to them and insisted for a take-off, he said. BJP legislative wing leader Gopinath Munde said even an engineer of Jet Airlines, who was in the cabin, told the pilot to abandon the flight, but he was not in a mood to listen. Baba Siddique, Minister of State for Labour, opened the door of the aircraft as members felt suffocated. Dr Subhash Salunkhe, Director of Public Health, who was onboard, also did not approve the flight without air-conditioner, Mr Chandurkar said. Meanwhile, the Maharashtra Government said it would conduct a probe into the “irresponsible” behaviour of the pilot. Besides the high-level probe, a first information report would be lodged and the government would seek the opinion of aviation experts as the pilot insisted on flying, leading to the suffocation of passengers while the flight was about to take off.

Armed guards deployed in
2 Mumbai hospitals
Mumbai, December 13 The armed guards would also keep out unwanted elements from straying into the hospital premises like the OPDs, officials say. According to the police, there have been six instances of doctors and health workers being assaulted by angry patients and their relatives. These incidents have often sparked spontaneous strikes by doctors and hospital staff, demanding security. Civic officials say that armed personnel may be deployed in more hospitals across the city if the situation so warrants. |

Roop Lal gets petrol station
New Delhi, December 13 “Directions have been issued to India Oil in this regard”, Additional Solicitor-General P.P. Malhotra told a Bench of Justice M.K. Sharma and Justice Gita Mittal during hearing on Roop Lal’s plea for the allotment of a petrol station. The Centre showed reluctance to pay compensation and other dues sought by him for the period spent by him in Pakistani jails. “He has already been paid Rs 7.5 lakh after his
return”, the Centre’s counsel said. The government had refused to oblige him as he did not fall in the two categories - death or permanent disability in action - approved by the PMO for the allotment of petrol a station or gas agency on compassionate grounds.
