Her body was found hanging with her dupatta tied to a guava tree in the fields of Amrik Singh of Sarhana village. Amrik Singh noticed the body when he went to his fields this morning. He informed village sarpanch and other villagers. The police said Amandeep had slit veins of her wrists before hanging herself from the tree. She had left behind a suicide note holding her lover Sukhwinder Singh from Sarhana village responsible for her death. In the note she had stated that she was in love with Sukhwinder, who had later ditched her and refused to marry her. According to the note, it was Sukhwinder’s refusal that forced her to take this extreme step. A case against Sukhwinder Singh has been registered. |
Silver City told to pay compensation
Chandigarh, August 1 These observations were made by District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum president PD Goel and members Rajinder Singh Gill and Madanjit Kaur Sahota while directing Silver City Housing and Infrastructure Ltd to refund an amount of Rs 31,72,500, along with 18 per cent interest, to Sector 8 residents in two separate cases filed against the company. The forum also directed the respondents to pay Rs 15,000 each to the complainants The forum in its order said it was the duty of builders to obtain the required permission from different departments, including the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB), before receiving consideration money from a purchaser of an apartment. Since the opposite party failed to do so, it amounted to unfair trade practice. The Punjab and Haryana High Court had granted the stay approximately for one year and two months and so thereafter the opposite party had no excuse as to why the possession of the flats in question had not been given to the complainants. Gurinder Singh Johal and Kanwar Jasbir Singh Kapur, both residents of Sector 8, in their separate complaints to the district forum, had submitted that they had deposited Rs 16.95 lakh and Rs 14,77,500 against the total sale consideration of Rs 21.47 lakh and Rs 18.50 lakh, respectively. The apartments were to be handed over to them by December, 2007. Despite receiving the substantial amount, the opposite party had failed to complete the construction as per terms of the agreement. The complainants further averred that on being asked as to when the project would be completed and the possession would be handed over, the opposite party started giving lame excuses. The counsel for the respondent argued that the construction at the site was stopped due to reasons beyond the latter’s control. He said the complainants had failed to pay instalments after 2006. The counsel also submitted that because of the stay order passed by the High Court, the PPCB did not issue ‘No Objection Certificate’ and therefore the construction work had to be stopped.

Ex-DGP Rathore to be tried in P’kula
Panchkula, August 1 The trial will now be conducted in Panchkula as a CBI magistrate’s court has started functioning here. The powers of magistrate have been given to the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate. This court will also help the CBI as the investigating agency has been finding it hard to file a charge sheet in any case concerning the Haryana region. Anand Prakash, father of Ruchika’s friend Aradhana, said the CBI had filed a closure report in these cases in November last, but they had challenged the closure report. He added that these cases had been shifted to the Panchkula court. Before shifting the magistrate’s court to Panchkula, the Haryana government had issued a notification in this regard. The Haryana government had got the requisite permission from the Union Home Ministry for shifting the CBI magistrate’s court from Ambala to Panchkula. Initially, the state government had demanded a special CBI court in Sirsa district, besides the CBI court already functioning at Ambala. However, the CBI zonal headquarters in Chandigarh had urged the ministry to set up the court at Panchkula. CBI officials had stated that as their headquarters were in Chandigarh, it would be easier to attend court proceedings at Panchkula than at Sirsa. The ministry had accepted the letter sent by the CBI, but in its communication to the Haryana government, it had made it clear that the Panchkula court would not be an additional court. After the closure of the the Ambala court, all cases there would be transferred to the Panchkula CBI court, the ministry had clarified.
