Chandigarh, September 13 As a part of the initiatives, the High Court website has been revamped and upgraded. It now carries the display board exhibiting the status of the on-going cases. As such, the lawyers and even the litigants do not have to be physically present in the High Court complex for reckoning when their case will be taken up for hearing, or the next date. Sitting at home or outside the High Court, they can now know about the cases going on in a particular court. All this and much more was revealed by Justice Hemant Gupta during his address to the Bar. The interim orders passed by the High Court too would be made available on the website. The process of issuing the orders passed by the Bench too has been simplified. Earlier, after the receipt of application, the complete file was sent from court concerned or the record room. Now, the High Court copy branch would be able to simply download the orders and issue the same after certifying it. Justice Gupta said the copies of bail orders would be sent to the chief judicial magistrate, the SSP and jail authorities through e-mail. Earlier, the office of CJM had to call the high court for confirmation of the orders to avoid any fraud. In case of litigation against the State, the High Court has also made provisions to send the copies of petition to the officers concerned in Haryana, Punjab or Chandigarh through e-mail. Justice Gupta said the High Court was only waiting for the e-mail IDs of all the officials concerned of the two states and Union Territory.

Police files chargesheet against SI
Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, September 13 Earlier in June, 2012, after one-year long re-investigation into a fatal road accident, Bhullar was held responsible for rash and negligent driving causing death. The re-investigation, conducted by a SIT of Haryana crime branch, also established that while misusing his power being an in-charge of the police post-22, Bhullar had managed to lodge an FIR against the deceased, Gagandeep Singh, and a pillion-rider, Mandeep Singh. The incident took place when a Santro car being driven by SI Bhullar rammed into the motorcycle of Gagadeep at the traffic lights near Kiran Theatre in Sector 22 in June, 2009. Mandeep Singh was the pillion-rider and sustained injuries on his legs. Gagandeep, a resident of Moga district in Punjab, had succumbed to his injuries in the PGI after two days of the incident on June 29, 2009. Meanwhile, instead of taking any action against Jaspal, the Chandigarh police had lodged an FIR against Gagandeep and Manjeet at the Sector 17 police station. The deceased's father, Balwinder Singh, had approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking re-investigation into the case from the CBI or any other state police in February, 2011. The High Court directed the DGP, Haryana police, to form a special investigation team (SIT) for the re-investigation in July 13, 2011.

If things fall in place, the local lad will be seen in action on the courts," said SP Misra. As per Kiwi’s non-playing captain Marcel Vos, the lads are looking forward to face the Indian squad on their home turf. “Now, we are familiar with the conditions here. The players have seen the opponents and are ready to take advantage of every mistake and opportunity,” said Vos. It is for the second time in the past 18 years that the Indian Davis Cup team will neither have Leander Paes nor Mahesh Bhupathi in the final line-up. Divij tastes victory * Local coach Birbal Wadera's joy knew no bounds after Divij Sharan made it to the final squad of the Davis Cup.

The final team combination is perfect to defeat any opponent. In his recent tournaments, Divij has won many important matches, and he will certainly put up a good show in the doubles event,” said Birbal. * “It was during 2006-07 that he was appointed as a travelling coach with me.
