6-month RI for ex-sarpanch
Ambala, October 8 According to the prosecution, a case was registered against the deputy sarpanch at the Mullana police station in July 2001. He had filed an application with the police that the work register, cash book, lease register, Chuhla tax register and cheque book of the gram panchayat had been misplaced somewhere. After two months, he deposited some of the records and a register in the office of the BDPO, which he had allegedly misplaced. Later, the revenue department conducted a raid at his residence, but no remaining record was found. It was presumed that he had destroyed the entire record, which caused a loss of Rs 82,783 to the panchayat. The judge observed in the order, "He was found guilty of embezzlement of public money and he has shattered the trust of the general public. A public worker and the public servant should maintain highest standards of probity and integrity to set an example of simplicity and selfless services."

Centre, Punjab The High Court today issued notice of motion to the Central government and Punjab on a public interest litigation alleging that a large number of brick-kilns in various districts were extracting minor minerals without seeking environmental clearance.

Drafts to replace stamp papers Stamp papers are to be replaced by drafts, bankers’ cheques and pay orders, the state of Punjab told the High Court in response to a public interest litigation for abolishing fraud-prone “stamp paper system”. The affidavit was filed in by Punjab under secretary Hari Singh Sodhi on a petition filed by advocate HC Arora. In the affidavit, it was stated: “The department of Revenue, Rehabilitation and Disaster Management has after consultation with the field revenue officers, agreed in principle to receive the stamp duty through demand drafts, bankers’ cheques and pay orders. After due approval of the higher authorities and concurrence by the concerned Departments, this Department will introduce and implement this system also.” The affidavit added: “However, that would be done successfully only after receipt of comments of the High Court authorities in due course since major part of the collection of Court fees would be in the cases to be instituted/ adjudicated upon in the High Court and civil/criminal courts under it.”
