Petition against Golf Club
Chandigarh, April 1 The Bench had earlier issued notices to the Chandigarh administration and the Income Tax Commissioner on the petition accusing them of conniving with the Chandigarh Golf Club, Sector 6, in grant of subsidies and exemption for the enjoyment of public property for the elite class of society to the exclusion of the ordinary citizens of the city. The petitioners, Brig (retd) Sukhdev Singh and Brig (retd) JS Sarai, had also moved the High Court seeking action against the club for major building violations and evading income tax on the profits earned. “The club has become the fiefdom of bureaucrats and influential people and the sports club has become a social club with no aim and objective of imparting training to aspirants of golf/swimming at the expense of the common man but to their exclusion,” the petition reads.

Samsung electronics directed to pay relief
Chandigarh, April 1 SL Sharma, a resident of Sector 45, had purchased a new one-ton AC from Sachdeva Electronics on April 6, 2010. But it started giving problems within one week of its installation. When he approached Sachdeva in May/June, 2010, they told him to call the service centre of Samsung. After lodging a complaint with them, two persons came from the service centre and changed the compressor as it was not working but after one week, the AC started giving the same problem. Again, Sharma lodged the complaint with Samsung and this time they took the AC with them stating that the cooling gas needed to be filled. After a day, it was reinstalled with an assurance that it would not give any problem. But they faced the same problem after a few days. No one appeared on the behalf of respondents. The forum observed that Samsung and Sachdeva Electronics were negligent and deficient in rendering proper services to the complainant by not repairing/replacing the AC being under the warranty period.
