High Court relief for freedom fighter’s wife
Chandigarh, November 2 The amount is to be recovered from the Secretary, Freedom Fighters Division, Ministry of Home Affairs. The directions by Justice Mahesh Grover came on the petition filed by Shivtar Kaur, wife of late Sawaran Singh. She had alleged that her claim for a revised pension, as modified by the government from time to time, was rejected on the ground that her case came under the category of grant of special pension for ex-army personnel, who revolted against the British. As such, she was not entitled to the benefits accruing out of revisions made by the Centre for freedom fighters. Justice Grover held that the order rejecting her claim was passed in violation of the earlier orders by the High Court in a writ petition filed by her husband. Acting on his petition, the court had issued directions to the department concerned to grant Swatantrata Sainik Samman pension with an interest of 9 per cent per annum from the date it became due to the petitioner. But, in spite of the order by the court, the pension was not released. Then a contempt petition was filed, following which an affidavit was furnished to the effect that the Centre has taken a decision to grant Swatantrata Sainik Samman pension to the petitioner. But, in spite of the directions by the court and the affidavit filed in the contempt petition, the petitioner was not given the revised pension. Before parting with the case, Justice Grover also directed the release of benefits accruing out of revisions made for the Swatantrata Sainik Samman pensioners within three months with 12 per cent interest.

Three witnesses depose in court
Chandigarh, November 2 Ali, a 22-year-old resident of Faislabad in Pakistan, was arrested on July 10, 2010, from Sector 44. The police had maintained that he had been living in the city on Delhi resident Pawan Kumar’s fake ID. Investigations revealed that the accused was a resident of Zulfkar Colony in Faislabad and had kept an eye on vital defence installations, including Chandi Mandir Western Command, Air Force station, Chandigarh, and on the movement and deployment of the Indian Army. The UT police had sent the documents recovered from him to the Indian Army to ascertain if these were restricted under the Official Secrets Act. The police had also sent photographs recovered from Kashif’s camera to the Army. The Defence authorities had confirmed that the photographs were vital and could be used by neighbouring countries for insurgency. Besides, the documents recovered from the accused, including a PAN card and a driver’s licence were examined by the CFSL, which confirmed that the signatures were that of Ali. Before filing the charge sheet, the UT police had got the prosecution sanction from the ministry of home affairs (MHA).

Police submits supplementary charge sheet in court
Chandigarh, November 2 In the charge sheet, the police has attached the forensic reports of the kidnapper’s voice and writing samples, claiming that these matched with those of the main accused, Sukhdev Singh. The police filed a supplementary charge sheet against Sukhdev Singh, a resident of Burail, his brother Gurvinder and their servant Nand Kishore in a case of murder under Section 302 of the IPC. This is the third charge sheet to have been submitted by the police in the court. The police informed the court that the writing samples on a bank receipt, which the kidnapper had used to deposit the ransom amount in a bank, had also matched with those of Sukhdev’s. The brutal kidnapping and murder case that rocked the city was cracked with the arrest of two brothers on March 22. The accused lived in the victim’s neighbourhood and had planned his kidnapping to tide over their financial liabilities. Khushpreet, a kindergarten student and son of a dairy owner, was kidnapped on December 21 last year near his house in Burail. The family, which informed the police within a couple of hours of the incident, had criticised the casual attitude of the police in handling the case, which ultimately helped the kidnappers get away from a police trap with the ransom of Rs 4 lakh on December 23 last year. The boy’s body was recovered on January 5 near a pit in Mohali.

Chandigarh, November 2 The notice came on a petition filed by Panchkula FCI assistant general manager Surinder Singh Taxak. The petitioner claimed that he was deliberately denied equal opportunity in the matter of appointment to the post of deputy general manager (DGM) in the FCI despite securing fourth rank in the written examination. Going into the background of the controversy, the petitioner said the FCI had advertised posts of the DGM (general administration) in 2009. Taxak said initially his application for the post was misplaced by the FCI. The roll number was issued to him only after he approached the court, he added. In the examination results, he was shown to have failed but in a reply to his RTI application, it was found that he had secured fourth rank in the test and was topper among the departmental candidates. The case will now come up for further hearing on January 16. tns
