SAD neglecting Dera Bassi, rue residents
Zirakpur, August 31 Zirakpur MC president and chairman, district planning board, NK Sharma has been showing his interest in Mohali politics from the past one year. He is expecting an MLA ticket from the Shiromani Akali Dal and he seems to have lost interest in indulging in any politics in Dera Bassi. Jasjit Singh Bunny, son of Akali stalwart late Capt Kanwaljit Singh and MLA Banur, is reportedly unhappy with the party high command on the issue of denial of the SGPC ticket, which he claimed for his wife Sanjit Kaur. Sources said the party high command told him that the ticket could either be given to his mother or sister, but Bunny refused and sought it for his wife. However, the party high command had given a ticket to Nirmail Singh Jollan. After this incident, Bunny had chosen to miss various party functions. Neither he is physically visible in the area nor are his photographs appearing on the hoardings put up by his party in the sub-division with regard to the SGPC elections. Even yesterday he remained absent from a rally of the SAD that was held in his constituency in the run up to the SGPC elections. Residents rue that earlier they had an easy access to late Capt Kanwlajit Singh, who used to resolve their problems immediately. However, now no one cares for their grievances.

HC refuses to interfere with single-judge order
Chandigarh, August 31 Rapping the varsity for wasting two “valuable years” of MSc (mathematics) student Mansi Grover, Justice Mahesh Grover had also asked the varsity to hold special examination for her. The directions came after Justice Grover was told that Mansi’s answer book had been destroyed, even as her petition before the High Court was pending. Indicating that there was more than what met the eye, Justice Grover had ruled: “It is evident that the respondents have treated the case of the petitioner with extreme callousness which has resulted in severe prejudice to her. It has not only demonstrated careless attitude of the university to the entire examination, valuation and revaluation process, but also reveals an apathetic state of affairs, which this case reveals and which may be a tip of the iceberg.” Going into the background of the controversy, Justice Grover had observed: “The university has been extremely callous in evaluating and giving out the result of the petitioner. Upon an application being made by the petitioner for revaluation of the answer book in Theology and Functional Analysis (TFA 618), they upgraded her marks from 26 to 33, which implied that the petitioner had passed the examination. In other subject in field theory and linear algebra (FLA 617), in the original marks sheet given out, she had already been shown as receiving 33 marks out of 100, again indicating that she had passed the subject. But amazingly, another marks sheet is issued to the petitioner in which her marks in both the subjects have been reduced from 33 to 26 in FLA 617 and from 26 to 21 in TFA 618….” Taking up the appeal filed by the varsity, the Bench of Acting Chief Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel and Justice AK Mittal asserted: “It is not disputed that no opportunity of being heard was given to the writ petitioner before reducing her marks. The justification for reducing the marks could not be established before the court as the record was not preserved. The single judge was, thus, justified in drawing inference of arbitrariness on the part of the appellant university, which prejudiced the petitioner, entitling her to the relief claimed. We, thus, do not find any ground to interfere with the impugned order. The appeal is dismissed.”
