CAT comes to lecturer’s rescue
Chandigarh, May 19 Quashing the punishment awarded during the course of an inquiry, Mr L.M. Goyal and Ms Shyama Dogra, Chairman and Member (Judicial), respectively, of the tribunal, observed that the lecturer was entitled to all consequential benefits, treating the period of his removal as in service. The applicant has also been allowed consequential benefits of arrears of pay and allowances from the date of removal till the date of his reinstatement along with other benefits of restoration of his increments. The lecturer was chargesheeted following a news report in which he had allegedly criticised the Chandigarh Administration. In the chargesheet, the appellate authority had held that the lecturer had violated Punjab Civil Services Government Employees (Conduct ) Rules, 1966, as applicable to UT employees. The applicant challenged the orders stating that he never gave any statement in the media and the writer of the news report was never examined. He further stated that he was never given an opportunity to explain his position and that there was irregularity in the inquiry. After hearing arguments of both sides, the tribunal observed that “though the Director of the Museum, Mr V.N. Singh, had talked to the media, it was strange that no such allegation had been levelled against him. The departmental inquiry has been conducted in haste.” In light of the observation, the tribunal quashed the punishment awarded to the lecturer.

Hindi monologue presented
Chandigarh, May 19 Under the series, Kamlesh Sharma presented a Hindi monologue, “Badlate Bimb”, at the akademi’s conference hall. A veteran of many Doordarshan serials and directorial assignments, Kamlesh delineated existential truths concerning human nature. Saza-e-maut awarded by society narrates the plight of subjugated womanhood. The potent script depicted the complexity of emotions and multiplicity of motives, which keep changing, giving an impetus to the element of conflict. In the absence of proper infrastructure and ambience of an ideal theatre, Kamlesh made a bold attempt to bring alive the character. Despite the brilliance, the ariste at times failed to carry along the related emotional expressions through the body language. The composite monologue, however illustrated the perceptions of sin and suffering, illusion and reality, love and longing, alienation and fulfillment through references of cosmic objects and phenomenon. |

Strokes of innocence
Chandigarh, May 19 A student of class IV at the school, Simran casts a spell on the visitors with the power of her creations. What makes her works unique is their innocence and genuineness — one that nobody can ignore. Having done her parents Manvinder Sidhu and Harjit Kaur proud, the little girl is now all set to win appreciation from the public as she throws her well-conceived exhibition open to people tomorrow. Although put up today, the show was open only for school students who were all praise for the little girl’s efforts. Among the works on display are paintings that have won Simran coveted awards from government as well as private bodies and NGOs like Lions Bhavan, Burning Brains Society and many other outfits working in the area of social welfare. Simran’s particular interest, as her works reflect, lies in issues concerning drug de-addiction, and her medium of expression is oil pastel. She has won several prizes for her paintings that denounce the evil of drugs. Equally impressive are Simran’s landscapes, which draw inspiration from the coastal magnificence of West Bengal. Ask her how she manages to paint water and boats with such elan and she replies, “Because my teacher is from Bengal.” For Kaushik Sinha, the decision of accepting Simran as a student was a tough one. He had never taught such a small child. But he was finally compelled to do so when he saw the firmness of her resolve to paint. “She had a fire in her. And I could not ignore it,” he says. He also credits Simran’s parents for her many achievements (the girl has won several prizes and has created 45 works). For the future, Kaushik plans to take Simran to greater heights. The exhibition proves that the child is ready to soar further. |
