Exam result shocks many
Mohali, July 12 According to one of the students of the Institute of Engineering and Technology at Bhaddal, of the approximately 130 students who took this exam, 50 have failed. While a large number of them have got marks as low as 17 and 18, most of them have been given just the requisite pass marks (24). Confirming this, the principal of the institute, Dr H.S. Shan, said it was not only his institute which had produced such results, even students at the Rayat and Bahra, Kharar, and Indoglobal College, Abhipur, were grappling with these unexpected results. Dr Shan said these papers will have to go for re-evaluation, a process that could take anything between four and six weeks. “In such a situation students, who have got admission for their master’s elsewhere, including abroad, will not be able to join.” Since all these institutes come under the purview of Punjab Technical University , Dr Shan has communicated the issue to vice-chancellor Dr S.K. Salwan and has requested him to expedite the re-evaluation process so that students are not inconvenienced. According to another student at Bhaddal, “Even some of the brightest students in our class, who have always done well, have failed in the paper.” S.S. Sandhu, chairman of Chandigarh Engineering College, Landran, said at least 30 per cent of their students had also failed in the subject. “There seems to have been some problem as the students, who have got over 95 per cent marks in other subjects, have also failed in the paper,” he said. Sandhu said they had requested the VC to award grace marks to these students as their careers were at stake. “Most of these students have been placed and will have to suffer because of this,” he said. The VC could not be contacted for his comments.

Kansal Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, July 12 Chief Justice Vijender Jain and Justice Mahesh Grover also directed that no sale deed would be executed and the change of land use would not be allowed. The Bench summoned the record of an FIR registered in the matter by the Punjab police. Kansal resident, Puran Singh, had stated that signatures on a power of attorney were found to be dissimilar from his signatures by a handwriting expert. Yet, the police forwarded the case for cancellation. Puran Singh claimed that he was one of the 130 persons with share in the common land. The main petition, filed through Lawyers for Human Right International president Tejinder Singh Sudan, sought an investigation by the CBI into the alleged nexus between top police officers and bureaucrats with the land mafia operating in villages in the periphery of Chandigarh. It had also sought directions for probe into the role of PUDA officials “as they had turned a blind eye towards illegal and unauthorised construction.” Directions for restraining PUDA from finalising the matter during the pendency of the petition were also sought.
