high court Our High Court Correspondent Chandigarh, October 25 Taking up the PIL filed by Utsav Bains, a student of Panjab University's Department of Laws, seeking immediate release of the two boys from juvenile jail, Faridkot, the Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Mr Justice DK Jain and Mr Justice Hemant Gupta adjourned the case to November 10 for further hearing. The two boys, Imran Masiah (13) and Mithu Masiah (11) had been nabbed by BSF personnel after they claimed to have mistakenly crossed over to India as they could not recognise the international border. They had claimed that they were playing hide and seek close to Indo-Pak international border and had strayed into the Indian territory. They were subsequently arrested by BSF guards at Ajnala Sector on the Indian side. Two toy pistols were also recovered from their possession. They were booked under the Indian Passport Act and illegal arrival on Indian territory. On October 22, they were sent to juvenile jail at Faridkot. In his petition, Utsav has stated that both the boys belong to poor families and had inadvertently entered India. He has prayed that both be released and arrangements be made to send them safely to Pakistan. Saying that unless steps are taken to get them released from the juvenile jail immediately, they would languish there for years, Utsav has prayed that since nothing objectionable was found from their custody, they should be released.

Major given another chance to get statements recorded Chandigarh, October 25 The officer was given another chance after she wrote to the Western Army Commander that she be accorded more time for getting her statement recorded. The Army Commander was of the view that the officer be given all possible opportunity to present her defence before the CoI. The CoI, headed by the Brigadier (Aviation)Western Command, Brig R Chauhan had, on October 18 decided to dispense with recording her statements after she failed to comply with its directions on two occasions. The same was conveyed to the officer and the court of inquiry decided to wind up and prepare its findings and recommendations. Thereafter, she wrote to the Army Commander. The officer has been accused of demanding bribes from Army personnel to influence courts martial in their favour. The matter came to light after an associate of a jawan facing a murder trial revealed that she had
demanded Rs 2 lakh for "saving" him. The CoI's terms of reference included investigating charges of her demanding bribes in two recently held military trials in Dehradun and Jalandhar.
