PM’s green light for separate gurdwara body
Chandigarh, April 29 The delegation was accompanied by Congress MP from Kurukshetra Naveen Jindal and was led by president of the ad hoc committee Jagdish Singh Jhinda and its general-secretary Didar Singh Nalvi. Pleading the cause of the Sikhs in Haryana, Jindal reportedly told Manmohan Singh that Delhi, Bihar and Jammu and Kashmir had organisations independent of the Amritsar-based SGPC to manage the Sikh gurdwaras in these states. The Sikhs in Haryana should also get a similar right. Jindal told the PM that his Lok Sabha constituency of Kurukshetra had a significant concentration of the Sikhs, who wanted to align with the Congress. He also told the Prime Minister that the Congress would not get votes from the Akalis but from those Sikhs who were not aligned with Punjab Chief Minister Prakash Singh Badal and INLD supremo Om Prakash Chautala. The delegation said though the Congress had committed in its election manifesto that a separate gurdwara committee would be set for Haryana, injustice with them was continuing even after the Congress formed the government three years ago. Manmohan Singh reportedly remarked that no injustice would be done with them. “Rather I want justice for everyone,” Manmohan Singh is quoted to have said. When the Prime Minister reportedly asked Jindal if the centre had any role in the creation of a separate gurdwara committee for Haryana, Nalvi told him that it was for the state government to take the initiative. Manmohan Singh asked Jindal to convey to Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda to initiate the process for setting up a separate committee for the state. According to informed sources, Jindal now planned to take a Sikh delegation to AICC president Sonia Gandhi to persuade her to direct Hooda to take appropriate steps for the creation of a separate gurdwara management committee for Haryana as committed by her party in its election manifesto. There was a general impression that it was Manmohan Singh who was coming in the way of the creation of a separate gurdwara committee for Haryana for the fear of an adverse reaction by the Punjab Akalis. In today’s meeting, Manmohan Singh has removed this impression.

Man kills wife, 3 kids
Kavi (Panipat), April 29 Ram Mehar Saini strangled Pooja (10), Seema (3) and Sunil (5) while they were asleep in their dingy house in Kavi village, near Madlauda, about 25 km from Panipat. He killed his wife Pammi, who was also asleep, with an axe and also throttled her. The incident came to light after villagers, hearing cries, reached the house. Saini was lying outside his house near the village pond and tried to mislead the police and the villagers. He told the villagers that some unidentified persons killed his family and snatched away his money. However, the police got suspicious and interrogated him following which he reportedly confessed to the crime. Panipat district police chief M.S. Sheoran said Saini had used a dupatta and an axe to kill his entire family. He said the accused washed his blood-stained clothes after committing the crime. Relatives, who had gathered on the spot, said the accused was hooked on satta. The villagers said they often helped Pammi in arranging food for the family as Saini had no regular source of income. “He had already sold his share of ancestral land due to his bad habits. He was regularly in touch with certain ‘babas’ to calculate his chances of winning satta,” said Ram Lal, younger brother of the accused. Expressing shock over the incident, Ram Lal said certain well-off relatives, including his nephew, were always ready to offer work or any financial assistance to the accused.

Pinjore MC
Chandigarh, April 29 Issuing the verdict, High Court Division Bench, comprising Justice Mehtab Singh Gill and Justice Rakesh Kumar Jain, also directed that the election would be held within a month of receiving a copy of the order. The decision by the Bench follows an appeal filed by Suman and six other committee members. They had challenged the single judge’s order dismissing their writ petition for quashing the election of Kuldeep Singh and Lakra in August 2005 on different grounds. Describing the election as illegal, the petitioners in their appeal had contended that the election had been held without completing the necessary quorum. The election, held in August 2005, too was not conducted in accordance with the procedure laid down by the State Election Commission; and it also violated the provisions of the Haryana Municipal Act. The respondents, on the other hand, had contended that the election was valid as it had not violated any provision of law. Moreover, quorum was not necessary for holding the elections. They added that the appeal was not maintainable as an election petition should have been filed in the matter. The arguments in the case concluded on March 25, after which the verdict was reserved by the Bench. Pronouncing it today, the Bench allowed the appeal and set aside the resolution of August 5, 2005, vide which the election was held. Another notification of August 8, 2005, vide which the election was notified, was also directed to be set aside.

Huda to make plot transfer easier
Chandigarh, April 29 Chief Administrator of HUDA T.C. Gupta, architect of the new policy, has invited public comments on the draft policy so that it can be suitably amended in the light of people's views, before it is notified. One of the main features of the new policy is that after it comes into force, the existing dual procedure of first issuance of provisional transfer permission (PTP) and then the issuance of the re-allotment letter of the plot will be dispensed with. Gupta says there will be only one stage of transfer of plots. The HUDA office will take 30 days to scrutinise the necessary documents submitted by the transferor and the transferee. If they do not receive any information regarding any objection raised by HUDA within these 30 days, they can jointly visit the estate office on any working day within the next 30 days. They will be jointly photographed in the estate office and the re-allotment letter will be issued on the spot or at maximum the next working day. Where the transfer of a residential plot or a house is sought on the basis of a conveyance deed or sale deed, the physical presence of the transferor and transferee before the estate officer will not be required. However, a certified copy of the sale deed will have to be submitted to the estate office within 60 days along with administrative charges and certain documents. If a plot is sought to be transferred on the basis of a court decree or judgement, HUDA will levy only administrative charges. However, if the court decree creates new rights, then the decree must be registered in terms of section 17 of the Indian Registration Act, 1908, to safeguard the revenue of the state. HUDA will not challenge even a collusive decree unless it violates some policy guidelines of the former. If the transfer of a plot is sought on the basis of a registered will, executed in favour of legal heirs of the deceased as defined under the personal law applicable to the deceased, HUDA will transfer the property after a certified copy of the registered will is submitted to it. If the registered will is in favour of a person not defined as a legal heir under the personal law applicable to the deceased, the person seeking transfer will have to obtain a probate certificate from a competent court. In the case of an unregistered will executed in favour of one or more legal heirs as defined under the personal law applicable to the deceased, the property will be transferred only after inviting objections, if any, through the publication of a public notice in two newspapers. If an unregistered will has been executed in favour of a person, who is not a legal heir, the transfer will be allowed only after the will has been probated. If an allottee dies without leaving a will, his legal heirs will have to apply for the transfer of his property within six months of the date of the death of the allottee. However, the transfer will be allowed only on the production of the succession certificate. The proposed policy makes the transfer of a plot or a house through general power of
attorney (GPA) tougher to prevent fraudulent transfers. The GPA holder will have to produce an affidavit from the transferor that he had not withdrawn the GPA nor had he executed another GPA in favour any other person. The transferor will have to submit the signatures of the GPA holder duly attested by him. The GPA holder will also have to produce an affidavit of a date not older than three days of the submission of the application, to the effect that the allottee is still alive and he will immediately inform the estate officer if the allottee dies before the re-allotment letter is issued.

Electioneering begins in right earnest today
Raman Mohan Tribune News Service
Hisar, April 29 Bhajan Lal is scheduled to file his papers as a nominee of the Haryana Janhit Congress (BL). His expulsion from the Vidhan Sabha had caused the byelection. Sampat Singh of the Indian National Lok Dal and Ranjit Singh of the Congress are slated to file their nomination papers on Thursday. For the INLD nominee, party supremo Om Prakash Chautala will be present on the occasion.Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda will accompany the Congress nominee to the office of the returning officer of the constituency. Sampat Singh and Ranjit Singh have been campaigning for the past few days, but Bhajan Lal will officially launch his campaign tomorrow. His main election office has been set up in a building on the Balsamand road here. Final touches were being given to the office building this evening. The entire building has been painted yellow --- being the colour of the HJC's flag. Ironically, keeping company with Bhajan Lal's poll managers in the same building is a country liquor shop which was doing business as usual today oblivious of the hectic activities in the poll office. An attendant at the liquor shop only smiled when asked whether he expected better business during the campaign. Haryana has been witnessing assembly elections for several years at the height of summer. The Adampur byelection is no exception and as is normal for this time of year, the mercury soared to 45 degrees C today giving nightmares to HJC workers. By the time the polling is held on May 22, the desert summer will be at its peak with temperatures expected to reach 48 degrees C. In routine elections in the summer, candidates normally campaign from early morning to noon and then resume campaigning around 6 p.m. and carry on till midnight. However, the entry of high-profile candidates to oppose the wily Bhajan Lal may mean electioneering throughout the day. How voters will react to this, remains to be seen.

No retrospective benefits to accused: HC
Saurabh Malik Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, April 29 With this, a Division Bench of the high court comprising Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel and Justice S.D. Anand has put to rest the controversy over the cut-off date for determining whether or not an offender would be dealt with under the provisions of the Act. The ruling comes on an appeal filed by Durga Parsad and eight others of Narnaul against the state of Haryana. The appellants had been held guilty for causing the murder of four brothers. The prosecution had claimed that the accused had committed the brutal and gruesome murders on account of rivalry, and their involvement was fully established through direct evidence adduced by the father and a brother of the deceased. Appearing before the Bench, the counsel for the appellants had made an attempt to make available the benefit of the Juvenile Justice Act to one of the accused. Pronouncing the judgement in an open court on the appeal, the Judges ruled: “Though there has been an amendment, amending the definition of juvenile as a person who had not completed 18 years of age as on the date of commission of the offence, the amendment is not retrospective. In spite of the amendment, the benefit of the Act is not available to a person who has crossed the age of 18 on the commencement of the Act as on April 1, 2001.” In their detailed order, the Judges ruled: “Coming to the contention raised by the counsel for an accused seeking the benefit of the Juvenile Justice Act, it is apparent that he completed age of 18 on November 2, 2000, while the Act came into force with effect from April 1, 2001.” Before dismissing the appeal, the Judges further clarified in their order that the 2000 Act was applicable to persons, who were less than 18 on April 1, 2001.

Non-compliance with court orders Saurabh Malik Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, April 29 Taking up a petition seeking the initiation of contempt of court proceedings against Virender Singh Hooda, estate officer, Gurgaon, Justice Surya Kant of the high court has imposed costs of Rs 25,000. Out of the total, Rs 10,000 will be recoverable from the estate officer. The remaining amount will be recovered from officials, who were at the helm of affairs in the offices of the administrator or the estate officer, and were responsible for the inaction. The directions were issued on a petition filed by Dr Hari Ram Yadav of Rewari district. Alleging non-compliance of the directions, he had claimed that his initial writ petition was disposed of by a Division Bench on May 31, 2006, with directions to the estate officer to take a final decision on the petitioner’s representation on plot allocation within four months. After a show-cause notice was issued, the counsel for the respondent appeared before the court and claimed that an oustee adalat in its meeting on March 19 had turned down the petitioner’s claim for the plot allotment on the ground that he had not applied at the time of floating of the sector with 10 per cent earnest money. The same was mandatory under the HUDA’s oustee policy. After hearing the counsel for the respondent, Justice Kant observed that he did not deem it necessary to continue with the contempt proceedings as a final decision had been taken. As such, the same were being dropped. But the court could not overlook the fact that the petition was disposed of way back on May 31, 2006, with directions to the respondent to take a decision within four months. Even if the concession of a month or so was granted, and had there been scant respect for court orders, the final decision ought to have been taken in 2006 itself. It was only after the issuance of the show-cause that the authorities came out of the slumber and the wheels started moving toward a final decision. The HUDA authorities were, thus, solely responsible for the initiation of avoidable proceedings.

Main accused commits suicide
Our Correspondent
Fatehabad, April 29 The main accused in the case, who opened fire on the cop, Sarjant Singh, turned out to be Anil Kumar, alias Anil Fauji, an army man posted in the 7 Jat Regiment in Delhi. But before the police could lay its hands on him, Anil Kumar reportedly committed suicide in his barracks by hanging from the ceiling on April 26. The police has now moved an application in the district courts for discharge of the seven accused, whom it had arrested on the day of crime and afterwards. Sarjant Singh had lost his life on April 21 when some armed miscreants, whom he was chasing, opened fire on him from point blank range. He received bullet injuries on the neck and died after he was shifted to the local general hospital. Sarjant Singh, who was posted in the police post outside the local bus stand, had gone to arrest some miscreants near Ram Sewa Samiti Dharamshala along with Shiv Kumar, SHO of the city police station, and some other cops at 11.30 pm on the fateful day. While the police managed to nab Ravinder Fauji, Ajmer Singh, Pawan Kumar, Monu and Jaidev, some others had managed to escape. All miscreants belonged to Karsola village in Jind district. Later, the police arrested Ashok Kumar and Sandeep. All seven accused are in police custody now. During interrogation of these accused, the police could not get any vital clue about the murder except the revelation that Ravinder Fauji had received a call from Anil Fauji of the same village that Ravinder’s associate, Anil, a car dealer, was in his custody as he owed him Rs 50,000. He allegedly told Ravinder to come to Fatehabad with the money in case he wanted to see his friend alive. Ravinder Fauji came to Fatehabad with his accomplices. They informed the police that they were still to meet Anil Fauji before the police nabbed them. Anil Fauji had gone back to his unit by the time his name emerged in the case. When the police went through call details of Anil Fauji’s mobile number, it found that he had talked to one Dharamveer, an ex-serviceman of Bisla Majra village near here, several times on the day of the crime. The police went to Dharamveer’s residence on April 25 but he was not there. He called Anil Fauji’s the same day and informed him of the police’s visit to his residence. Anil committed suicide on the next day by hanging himself. The police arrested Dharamveer on April 27, who revealed the whole story during his interrogation. Dharamveer told the police that Anil Fauji had brought the car dealer on the day of the crime and kept him in his captivity in a factory on the local Bhattu Road. Dharamveer was with Anil Fauji near the petrol pump when Sarjant Singh came there in a civil dress and caught hold of Dharamveer. Mistaking the cop as one from Ravinder Fauji’s group, Anil Fauji shot at Sarjant Singh.

Road blocked over water, power shortage
Jind, April 29 The protesters disrupted the movement of traffic on the Jind-Gohana road for about one and half hours.

Kavi (Panipat), April 29
