Hospital told to pay Rs 3.36 lakh to car dealer
Chandigarh, April 26 Allowing the application of Chandigarh-based M/s Tai-Pan Limited, Mr R.P. Bajaj and Mr J.S. Kohli, Chairman and Member, respectively, asked the hospital to pay the bill amount with an interest of 6 per cent from March 5,2004, the date of filing the application. The hospital had purchased a pre-owned Mercedes Benz(100-D) car from Tai-Pan costing Rs 13 lakh in February, 2001. However, the car met with an accident later and was repaired by dealer at a cost of Rs 3.36 lakh. On the other hand, the hospital contended that it was not liable to pay for the repairs since the applicant took no step to get the vehicle transferred in its name. The vehicle had been damaged in an accident and for that reason the hospital could not claim that amount spent on the repairs from the insurance company. However, the ruling in favour of the autodealer, the adalat ruled: “In view of the legal position, the respondent cannot legitimately raise the plea that it could not claim the amount from the insurance company on account of the fault of the applicant.” “After the repair, the vehicle was transferred in the name of the respondent in July 2002. The respondent could ,therefore, prefer the claim before the insurance company. For this reason, we decided the point of controversy against the respondent,” the order held.

Ailing children receive gifts of love
It was a rare occasion of give and take. On the one hand were 250 ailing children, eager to receive gifts of love and on the other hand was an awe-inspiring guest, keen to offer. The balance was just perfect and the impact …overwhelming.
In presence at the Paediatric Centre of the PGI was wife of Punjab Governor and UT Administrator, Ms Jean Rodrigues who met with children as if she had known them for ages. In her kitty were gifts from unknown friends, and she passed them on with heartfelt remarks, “The gift from an unknown friend, is a wonderful idea, a beautiful and a lovely gesture, something to be admired, something to be emulated”. Received from unidentified donors, the gifts spelt a world of generosity, the kind that lack in society. Referring with pride to the efforts of international organisation “Samaritam Purse” which goes about collecting gifts for recipients across the world, Ms Rodrigues called for similar gestures at all possible levels in society. Praising ‘Gospel India’ which distributes the collected gifts, she requested parents to motivate our children to also contribute to better the state of the sick and under-privileged.” She particularly talked about making a difference at festive occasions like Divali. “This rare gesture brings a smile to the face of sick children who receive gifts from unknown friends. It is all the more significant that these gifts were sent by children out of their pocket money to the children suffering from chronic illnesses, disabilities, , cancer, thalessemia, incontinence, juvenile diabetes and other serious problems,” she said. Impressing upon philanthropists and other individuals to extend a helping hand to patients under treatment in different wards of PGIMER, Ms Rodrigues said this effort would act as a support system for the needy patients in distress, besides relieving the doctors of burden. She appreciated the ‘Helpline’ already functional in the PGI and said that. Another ‘Helpline’ by the Social Welfare Department of UT will also be launched soon. This will help people in distress. Lauding the efforts of doctors and para-medical staff of the PGI in giving succour to patients with the motto to ‘Smile and Serve, Ms Rodrigues moulded the motto to “Smile and Serve with many spoons of love”. Dr K.K. Talwar, Director, PGIMER, while welcoming the guests, highlighted the services being rendered by the PGI for the treatment of patients, especially children at the Paediatric Centre. Dr K.L. Narasimhan gave an account of the concept of the programme “The gift to the unknown friend” - a rare, novel gesture which is making all the difference.

‘Chitranakan’ beckons art lovers
Over 150 exhibits of special painting works put up by 15 BFA final year students of the Government College of Art in an exhibition ‘Chitranakan’, at the college art gallery, undeniably, reflect the fascinating account of their hopes and dreams, their fears and fantasies, their beliefs-noble, bitter or cruel, all expressed through the varied mediums of painting.
As their creations form part of their prestigious project of their study programme, the students were apparently gripped with the urge to excel each other. By and large the exhibits were given a dexterous innovative treatment by employing the versatile medium of oils, blend of vibrant colours and brush strokes to bring alive the concept and the contemporary themes of presentations. Bhuvneshwar Singh painting the nature in all its manifestations drew the inspiration from leisure valley which blossoms his creations among others while Rachna Kansal puts forth her view point on freedom and self-imprisonment besides the fragrant moods. Both the mythological and pragmatic concepts find expression in Vandana’s ‘Generation’ and ‘Flight’. Divya Raghuvanshi, however, relied on the geometrical cubes to depict the ecological balance and harmony maintained by nature, besides the motherly love as Rosy Nanda defined ‘Protection’ symbolically employing the ‘Umbrella’. The origin and growth of life in acrylic in oil and charcoal medium, Ravneet portrays Mirabai sending the thrill of her soul across the centuries. Reiterating that art is the imitation of truth Neha’s works recreate the love for nature. The waves of life are duly illustrated in Manu’s the ‘Meditation, inspiration and musical performance while Kamini Joshi took up some bold themes. Medha Chopra delved deep into the joint family system, nature and salvation while Punam Rana presented the woman psyche. Priyanshoo Sood advocated the importance of ‘rhythm of life’ responsible for the pleasures and pains. Pooja Khatri, Sudershan Rajput and Deepali put up works in graphics, pencil sketches, oil and colour paintings. The convener Anita Gupta said the students toiled hard to complete their works in 16 weeks which would be on display till April 30 here. Earlier, college Principal Brahm Parkash welcomed the chief guest B.D. Budhiraja, Dean, College Development Council, who inaugurated the exhibition.
