New district courts complex-43 Litigants shuttle between Sector 17 courts and new courts complex in Sector 43 Ritika Jha Palial Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, January 28 Some of the litigants had come after taking leave from their office, while others came from far-off places to attend their cases. "I am a daily wage earner. I lost the day's salary. I had taken leave to attend the hearing. When the court officials told me about the next date during last hearing, they should have informed me about the shifting of the courts complex. I will not be able to reach the court on time," said Sanju, a resident of Ambala.
The officials present at the Sector 17 courts complex said the shifting was planned in a hurry and more than 100 litigants had returned between 9.30 am and 10.30 am from here. No parking arrangements
Owing to the lack of proper planning by the authorities, litigants had to struggle to find a space for parking their vehicles at the new Courts Complex. Visiting the new court complex is a Herculean task for the litigants as well as the lawyers in the absence of systematic parking arrangements in the area adjoining the new complex. A large number of vehicles, including two-wheelers and four-wheelers, were parked haphazardly, blocking the entry and exit points. "What was the hurry to shift the courts complex if there was no adequate parking space at the new complex? A person who comes to attend the hearing will be completely lost in the parking lot. I have been stuck in the parking lot for the past one hour. I cannot move my car in any direction since there is a huge trail of vehicles all around," said Kamal Verma, a visitor to the complex. While the litigants and the lawyers struggled to park their vehicles, the policemen were busy warning those who had parked their vehicles on the road outside the complex.
Non-functional lifts
The hi-tech lifts in the five-storeyed building at the new courts complex did not
function on the opening day. An 89-year-old litigant, Gurbachan Singh, who came to the court on Monday, said: "I had to wait for about 10 minutes for the lift. The liftman told me that it was stuck on one of the floors. While returning, I again kept waiting for the lift for a long time. Then somebody told me that it was not working. I had to take the stairs to reach the ground floor." A first-hand experience of moving inside the court building revealed that none of the lifts were working properly, forcing the litigants to take stairs.
Lawyers also lost
More than the litigants, it was the lawyers who remained perplexed while locating the courtrooms in the new complex. A large number of lawyers were seen jotting down the location of courts from a display board on the ground floor. Many lawyers kept shuttling between the floors along with the complainants for finding the court rooms. "Even we are new to the place. It will take us some time to be familiar with the new complex," said advocate Terminder Singh.
Harrowing time for staff
Though the shifting of the official record from the old courts complex started five days ago, a number of files pertaining to the cases taken up by various courts were still lying at the Sector 17 complex. Staff members were seen shuttling between the two complexes throughout the day. "Although we had prepared well in advance by keeping the files of cases listed this week on the top in the trunks, locating each one of them was a tedious task. It will take us at least three months to put everything in place," said a court official.
Tussle between lawyers
High drama was witnessed during the draw of lots for lawyers' chambers at the new complex. The draw for 440 chambers built across four floors continued for more than SIX hours after being halted twice due to a tussle between the lawyers.

Estate Office on demolition mode
Chandigarh, January 28 In Mauli Jagran, the enforcement staff accompanied by a strong posse of police carried out the demolition drive. The houses had been illegally raised on the vacant government land. In two cases, four-storeyed structures were raised without following safety guidelines and in one of the houses, a bakery was being run from the ground floor. Niab tehsildar Amarinder Singh said four houses were demolished. The authorities also sealed two houses as the demolition could have posed a danger to the adjoining structures. In another drive, a team of the UT Estate Office and the MC removed security gates from a residential area in Sector 45-B, attracting strong protest from the residents. The residents alleged
that the funds for the three gates on the V6 roads had been sanctioned by MP Pawan Kumar Bansal. The gates were removed following a complaint by the St Stephen’s School authorities. Harold Carver, director of the school, was not available for comments. The headmaster of the school, G Jacob, said the gates were hampering the movement of school buses. The president of the Sector Welfare Association, AC Dhawan, said the gates were removed without any provocation. The gates had been installed as a security measure. Officials said the gates on the MC land were installed without approval. On the other hand, the residents said the drive was carried out even as the MP had given permission for the gates on the V6 roads. The entry of school buses on the V6 roads has been banned.
Demolition notices
Continuing with the drive against ‘non-sanctionable’ building violations, the assistant estate officer has issued notices to 34 residential premises in Sector 22. Officials said the violators had been given 15 days to remove the violations or face demolition.

Setback for UT Admn
Chandigarh, January 28 It also wants to know when the land was acquired and why it had been lying vacant for so many years. Recently, the UT Administration had written to the ministry, requesting for permission or relaxation in the ban so as to enable it to acquire land for important projects hanging fire for the past many years. In a letter sent to the Administration on August 26, 2011, the MHA had directed it to put all land acquisitions on hold. A senior official said the Administration was planning to acquire 1.89 acres for the widening of a road from railway point at Daria village and 3.32 acres for providing connectivity with Daria and Mauli Jagran.

Mohali DC distributes 21 eco-rickshaws
Our Correspondent
Mohali, January 28 As many as 21 eco-rickshaws, financed by banks at a low interest, were given to various beneficiaries at the function as part of the credit scheme. These rickshaws are light in weight, apart from being non-polluting vehicles. Roojam said for social and economic development of the weaker sections, such steps should be taken at regular intervals. He said the Punjab and Haryana High Court had advised the financing of eco-rickshaws to bring poor persons out of the clutches of financers from whom they were taking rickshaws on a daily rent basis. Parveen Kumar Thind, Additional Deputy Commissioner, said members of the economically weaker sections earned their bread and butter by starting small business activities by availing themselves of DRI advances, which was a national goal. He said 23 eco-rickshaws had earlier been financed by banks. Eleven more such rickshaws were under process of sanction by the banks. DK Sharma, DGM, Punjab National Bank, Circle Head, Circle Office, Patiala, appreciated the efforts made by the Lead District Manager (LDM) Office, Mohali, and all banks for organising the credit camp. He said sanction letters had been distributed among 181 beneficiaries, out of which 21 cases had been financed for eco-rickshaws. He said out of the 181 cases, 51 cases had been financed by PNB, the lead bank. PK Jain, LDM, Mohali, said loans under the scheme were available to persons in the lower income group at the concessional rate of 4 per cent interest per annum up to an amount of Rs 15,000, and a maximum of Rs 20,000 in the case of the construction of a house. The function concluded with the distribution of eco-rickshaws and a vote of thanks by Ashwani Channana, DGM, OBC.

House tax to be on civic body’s agenda
Rajinder Nagarkoti Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, January 28 Recently in a meeting held between the UT Administrator, Shivraj V Patil, and nominated councillors, the Administrator told the nominated councillors to table the agenda in the upcoming house meeting. Thereafter, the nominated councillors had assured Patil of doing the same. The letter submitted by the nominated councillors reads, “We, all nominated councillors propose that the proposal of house tax (Rs 1/sqyd/year) may be discussed in the MC House to be held on January 30. It is also mentioned here that no house tax should be levied on houses spread over less than 125 sqyds. The EWS and LIG houses should also be exempted from the tax.” “Regarding apartments, category-wise lump-sum amount should be charged proportionately,” the letter read. On January 1, after the Mayoral elections, city mayor Subhash Chawla had announced that the MC would not impose the tax this year. A senior UT official said if the tax was not imposed, the city would lose around Rs 400 crore under the JNNURM as a result of which the Administration and the MC would not be able to seek more funds under the JNNURM for future projects. The Planning Commission had recently told the Administration to impose the tax. The commission had told the Administration to raise funds from all possible sources, including house tax, to fund its plan. The imposition of house tax was one of the reforms to be implemented in states and union territories that get funds under the JNNURM. The MC had signed an MoU under the JNNURM with the Ministry of Urban Development to levy house tax to raise funds.

Insurance company penalised for denying mediclaim
Chandigarh, January 28 The District Forum held the treating doctor is the best person to define the cause of disease. In his complaint, VK Makharia, a Panchkula resident, contended that he and his family were covered under a mediclaim policy since 2004, and the said policy was renewed annually without a break. In the judgement authored by Jaswinder Singh Sidhu, member of the UT District Forum-II, “it has been held the best person to express opinion about a patient’s condition is always the doctor under whose observation he has undergone treatment. The opinion expressed by him can in no manner be superseded by the opinion of someone who has not examined or not even seen the patient.” The complainant underwent an operation for the treatment of tongue cancer in September 2011, upon which a claim
form for the reimbursement of the medical expenses amounting to Rs 3,34,264 was filed with the New India Assurance Company. In its reply, the insurance company said the claim was not payable on the ground that the tongue cancer was caused by tobacco chewing, which was excluded under the mediclaim policy. “The patient suffered from Carcinoma Tongue. As per the details available, the patient has the history of tobacco chewing. Tobacco is the causative factor of oral cancer, including tongue. Therefore, claim is not payable as per the policy,” quoted the company. Pankaj Chandgothia, counsel for the complainant, contended that the exclusion clause did not exist when the policy was initially taken in 2004. It was added later on in 2007, without any information or consent of the complainant and therefore this condition could not be applied in the case of the complainant, he said. Chandgothia further argued that Dr Sultan A. Pradhan of Prince Aly Khan Hospital, who had treated the complainant, had certified the cause of patient's carcinoma to be Chronic Dental Irritation and not tobacco chewing, which he had given up 25 years ago. The insurance company has been directed to pay Rs 35,000 as compensation for harassment and Rs 10,000 as cost of litigation, in addition to the principal claim of Rs 3,34,264.

A shot in the arm for NSUi at PU
Chandigarh, January 28 Brinder Dhillon, who remained the SOPU chief for several years, had joined the NSUI on Rahul Gandhi’s recent visit to the PU campus. Dhillon reportedly was instrumental in attracting other SOPU leaders and leaders of rival party
NSUI. Among the famous faces that joined NSUI were Manoj Lubana from SOPU, who played a key role in the party’s win during the last two Panjab University Campus Student Council (PUCSC) elections, SOPU party president Bikram Jattana, members Bhupinder Bhatt and KP Dullat, PUSU chairman Jeevanjot Singh Chahal and
PUSU acting president Sanjeev Sharma. Sources said the shift in loyalty of these student leaders could cost the two regional student parties dear during the next student council elections. SOPU and PUSU members, however, believe that the departure of leaders would not affect the
parties as they still enjoyed a massive support of students. SOPU president Vikramkit Singh Middukhera said under his leadership SOPU had won the student council elections with a record margin of 1,001 votes, and this feat could be repeated with the help of party supporters. PUSU leader Sumit Gokhlaney shared similar views. He said the party still had the support of other members who had been associated with the party for past many years.

CBSE introduces web-based software for providing question papers, marking scheme
Chandigarh, January 28 The new system allows all the affiliated schools to automatically generate and download question papers and marking scheme through the online system in a transparent, secure and user-friendly manner. An official said: "The new system is mandatory. It will be followed from the forthcoming summative assessment-II (SA-II) of classes IX and X in March this year." RJ Khanderao, regional officer, CBSE, said: "Principals after getting registered on the new system between February 1 and 15 can access question papers online." The class IX and X papers will be available from March 5 and 11 respectively. The examination is scheduled to begin on March 10 and 15 respectively. The marking scheme will be provided online on March 19 and 29 respectively, a day before the end of exams. Khanderao said although the syllabus and design of question papers would remain the same, the new system would help in addressing problems such as delay and damage of CDs in transit. The online software will have two sets of unique question papers generated for each subject for each school. Khanderao said schools could select one of the two question papers for each subject, but should use both the papers for the purpose of conducting examination. Over 70 per cent schools in the region have opted for the school-based board examination. Under this system, schools can prepare their own question papers as per the scheme available on the CBSE’s website. “In case a school opts for it, it has to send question papers and marking scheme to the board for verification within a week of conducting the examination,” an official said.

"I have been visiting the courts complex almost every week for the hearing of my case for the past two months. I have been meeting the lawyers regularly, but I am surprised to note that none of the lawyers bothered to inform me about the shifting. The authorities should have put up notices in the complex. I am an old man and moving around in the city is not an easy task for me," said Raj Devinder Singh, a litigant.
