Assembly Polls: Kalka
Kalka, September 29 Rana, a sitting MLA from Rajaund, got ticket from here to contest, following the dissolution of his constituency during the delimitation. The Congress here, in addition to facing the strong INLD candidate Pardeep Chaudhary, has to get a stiff competition from its own dissidents, Vijay Bansal and Bhagat Singh. While Vijay Bansal, a Congress leader, joined the Bahujan Samaj Party, following he was denied the ticket, Bhagat Singh, who was also a ticket aspirant, was contesting as an independent. While addressing the gathering at New Grain Market of the town, both Rana and Chief Minister agreed that Kalka was neglected while other parts of the district and the state got their due share of development. Both, however, did not forget to blame it on local MLA Chander Mohan without naming him. Hooda said though some developmental works were initiated at Kalka, but it did not get the required attention. And it was the lack on the part of public representatives from here, he said. Appealing for the vote to Rana, he said the pace of development would catch on in the area in case Rana wins from here. Earlier, Rana, who is facing opposition from local leaders on the pretext of being outsider, said he would not leave any stone unturned in the development of the area. Others, who addressed the meeting, include Om Parkash Devi Nagar, district Congress president, SS Nanda, Kalka MC president, Manvir Kaur Gill, former Panchkula MC president, and Prof Virender Singh. While the public meeting was going on the supporters of Bhagat Singh, who were taking out a procession in the town, stopped near the venue and raised slogans in favour of Bhagat Singh. They, however, left the spot after few minutes. Code violation

‘Legal lacunae being
misused in dowry cases
Chandigarh, September 29 Taking note of the disturbing trend involving misuse of the process of law, Justice Harbans Lal observed it has been authoritatively pronounced that it is a general tendency on the part of the girls to involve all family members and near relations whenever there arises any difference between the couple and thus, the provisions of Section 406 and 498-A of the IPC are being misused flagrantly. The assertion, bringing out the sorry state of affairs, came on a petition filed by Krishna Wanti and five others through counsel RS Bajaj. The petitioners had challenged the order passed by the Trial Court, summoning them under Section 319 of the CrPC. Bajaj said initially the FIR in the matter was registered against the boy, his family and near relations. On investigation, the allegations were found to be false. Accordingly, the police filed the challan only against husband Ashok Kumar. Subsequently, however, on an application filed by the complainant, the groom’s old mother and his married sister-in-laws, maternal uncle and paternal uncle were also summoned. Referring to the provisions of law, Bajaj argued before summoning anyone as an accused under Section 319 of the CrPC, it was essential for the court to be satisfied that the evidence adduced on behalf of the prosecution, if un-rebutted, would lead to conviction of the persons sought to be added as accused in the case. In the present case, the “satisfaction” was totally missing. The court also did not to take into consideration the fact that it was general tendency on the part of the bride to involve the family and the near relations. As such, the provisions of Section 406 and 498-A of the IPC dealing with subjecting a married woman to cruelty and criminal breach of trust were being blatantly misused. The present case was a classic example. After hearing the arguments, Justice Lal directed the setting aside of the order passed by the trial court, summoning six relations of the groom.
