Cheque Bounce Case Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, December 2 The court had issued non-bailable warrants (NBW) against the actor on November 18 for not deposing before the court. However, Shetty surrendered before the court of judicial magistrate first class (JMIC), Manisha Jain, and was granted bail after furnishing bail bond of Rs 50,000. Dressed in blue denims, Shetty entered the courts complex at 3:45 pm and was out of the premises within 15 minutes. Vibha Jolly, a resident of Sector 43, stood as surety for the celebrity. The case is adjourned to December 23 for next hearing. The Punjab and Haryana High Court had, earlier, stayed the proceedings in the trial court after a petition was filed by Shetty wherein he had sought quashing of proceedings in the cheque bounce case. However, the stay was removed by the high court during the last hearing and Shetty was supposed to depose before the trial court today but he sought for exemption. UT SSP had directed in 2007 to hold a probe into the matter and take appropriate action after doing nothing for over a year despite receiving numerous complaints. In November 2006, the actor had moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking quashing of proceedings in the matter in a local court. In the complaint, Gulati, had alleged that a cheque for Rs 10 lakh issued by Hyundai India Telecom Limited (HITL), Chennai, was not honoured by the bank due to insufficient funds in the account of the company. Suniel Shetty is a director of the HITL as a result of which he, and other directors, became liable for action under Section 138 CrPC for the dishonoured cheque. However, in his petition for setting aside the ongoing proceedings in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chandigarh, Shetty had denied any connection with the HITL and said he was never a director of the firm.

Cops track robber using cell phone records
Chandigarh, December 2 DSP (south) Jaswant Singh Khaira told TNS that the accused, identified as Gursewak Singh and Sheeshpal of Mohali village, both in their early twenties and a 15-year-old boy of the same village, were hooked to drugs and committed crimes like snatching, thefts and robberies under the influence of drugs. They were so high on drugs while committing the crimes that they failed to recall what they had done and where. The accused were arrested from a naka in Sector 52 following information on Monday. Sheeshpal, the third accused, was also arrested later. The DSP said the trio had stolen a Maruti Esteem car from Mohali on June 4 this year and abandoned the same in Sector 42, from where they picked up another Maruti Esteem Car (PB-10-AM-3710) belonging to Balwinder Singh of Sector 42 same night. Under the influence of drugs, they waylaid a scooterist, Kirandeep Singh of Sector 21, in the wee hours on the road dividing sectors 35 and 36. Kirandeep, a 10 plus two student, was on his way back home after meeting his acquaintance in Sector 36. The trio bundled Kirandeep in their car at knifepoint and robbed him of his mobile phone, Rs 1600 and an ATM card. They then took him to an ATM counter in Sector 22 and withdrew Rs 1600 before dumping him in Sector 22. After committing the crime, they abandoned the car at Sector 40, which was found on June 6. A month later, the accused, who were triple riding a motorcycle, were stopped by a Home Guards volunteer, Mukesh Kumar, in Sector 40 in the wee hours of July 4. The accused, in their bid to escape from the checking, assaulted the volunteer on duty and stabbed him. They also tried to rob the cop of his money, but failed and were nabbed on the spot. A case was registered against them and they were sent to jail, from where they were released recently. The SHO of the Sector 36 police station Anokh Singh informed that sub-inspector Baldev Singh put the robbed mobile phone of Kirandeep under surveillance. However, the accused did not use the mobile phone for four months. It was only recently that Gursewak gave the mobile phone to his father, who began using it. The police got the tip-off and subsequently managed to track Gursewak Singh. Gursewak, a call centre employee in Mohali, told TNS that he took the drugs during his college days in Chandigarh. He said drugs were freely available in the city and a large number of students were using drugs and ultimately took to crime to meet their expenses. He said he used to buy drugs from a Sector 38-based woman, a notorious drug peddler.

Golf Donald Banerjee
Chandigarh, December 2 She had 13 regulations, eight in the back nine, as she finished day one with a three-stroke lead over her nearest rival, Neha Tripathi, who fired a card of five over par 77. Last year's runner up, Meher Atwal, and Shreya Ghei were tied third carding identical scores of six over par 78. Gauri Monga, who turned 15 on October 25, dropped boggies on the second, third and seventh. But she made amends with a birdie on the ninth to be two over par 38 at the turn. A Class IX student of Delhi's Sri Ram School, Gauri played a steady back nine and fired a grand chip-in-birdie on the 13th. But then she slipped on the last conceding, a bogey to finish with the day's best two over par 74. Neha Tripathi, who finished day one three strokes behind the leader, is capable of coming up with a much better performance as was amply demonstrated in the Ladies Open Amateur Championship held in Kolkata, where she clinched the title. Hot on the heels of Neha are 14-year-old Meher Atwal, last year's runner-up, and Shreya Ghei, who are tied for the third spot one stroke behind at six over par 78. Spearheading the local challenge, Rabiya Gill appeared set to give a challenge to the top amateur brass, till disaster struck on the 13th, where she triple-bogeyed. Then she dropped three more bogeys on the finishing holes to slip down. Pauline J. M. Singh, the only other Chandigarh player in the gold division, failed to click. Results: Championship Bowl (handicap 0-12): Gauri Monga 74, Neha Tripathi 77, Meher Atwal and Shreya Ghai 78 each. Silver Salver (handicap 0-12) Nett: Aakrati Singh 70, Esha Kumar 72.
