HC notice to UT Admn
Chandigarh, January 10 In the complaint, she stated that the inmates of the state-run old age home were facing harassment at the hands of its manager. She stated that woollens were distributed among them, but the manager snatched those. She was told that this was not the first time such an incident took place. She was told that the inmates had to pay Rs 16 a day to go out. They complained about the non-availability of medicines. She found two old women lying on the floor and their rooms stinking. Shelter homes were meant for the destitute, but officials deputed there dictated terms and behaved as if they were offering big favours to inmates, she added. Taking cognisance of the complaint, Justice Surya Kant referred it to the Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. “The contents of the complaint speak for themselves about the plight of the hapless residents of the old-age home run by the Chandigarh Administration,” observed Justice Surya Kant, who further recommended the matter to be taken on the judicial side. As the case came up for hearing, a Bench comprising Punjab and Haryana High Court Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Mahesh Grover issued notice to the Administration for January 17.

Kshitij enables St Soldier’s win
Panchkula, January 10 After winning the toss, St Soldier’s Champions decided to bat first. The team got a sound start with skipper Kshitij and Vaibhav Sharma starting the innings with a watchful knock. Both batsmen played some fine shots before Vaibhav got out to Ketan Chaudhary (4 for 40). Apram Virk joined Kshitij and both built a partnership of 40 runs. Ketan who was bowling well at one end took another three wickets in quick succession putting pressure on St Soldier’s Champions. Introduction of Aryan proved disaster for the home team, as he took skipper Kshitij. At one stage, St Soldier’s were six down with 100 runs on board in 50 overs match. Jatin (35) and Mohit (20) played a cameo and took their team’s total to 180 before getting all out. In reply, Hisar Challengers had a disastrous start as their three batsmen went back to the pavilion with scoreboard showing only eight runs. Kshitij was instrumental in putting the pressure on the opposite team. Middle order batsmen, Nikhil (35) and Tarun (34), tried to repair the damage and played wisely hitting every loose ball to the fence. Their sensible batting took their team to century mark but tight bowling by Arjun Sharma (three for 12 runs) and Tarun Verma (three for 25 runs) ceased the runs for visitors and the team was all out for 116 runs in 38.5 overs. Brief scores: St Soldier’s Champions: 180 all out in 48.3 overs (Kshitij Sharma 42, Jatin 35, Mohit 20; Ketan Chaudhary 4 for 40; Aryan Malik 4 for 12). Hisar Challengers: 116 all out in 38.5 overs (Nikhil Nain 35, Tarun Dekwal 34, Amit Saini 12; Kshitij 3 for 18, Arjun Sharma 3 for 12).
