Ropar, April 19 The complainant, Balbir Kaur, mother of the deceased (Blawinder Kumar) while talking to media persons here said her son was in relationship with a girl, who belonged to Akbarpur village. But the girl’s uncle, who is a policeman, was against their affair. Her uncle had also warned Balwinder against their affair and had threatened him of dire consequences if he didn’t step back from the relationship. However, on October 20 last year, Balwinder died of poisoning, she alleged. Following this, a case was registered under Section 306 of the IPC (abetment to suicide) at the Singh-Bhagwantpura police station even as it was a case of murder, alleged Balbir Kaur. Though a case had been registered five months ago, the local police did not take any action against the accused, she said. “I have been visiting the police station frequently to get justice. But nobody bothered to take any initiative in this regard,” rued the hapless mother. Local DSP, Harbir Singh Atwal, however, denied any lapse on the part of police in the case. An enquiry in the case was in progress and the required action will be taken as per the report, he added.

Anupama's parents move national consumer panel over compensation
Chandigarh, April 19 Advocate Pankaj Chandgothia, who filed the appeal on behalf of Anupama’s parents, received the acknowledgment of the appeal being registered at FA No. 320 of 2013 today. In his appeal, Chandgothia said: “It will be heard by the First Bench headed by Justice (retd) Ashok Bhan, President of National Commission on May 3, 2013.” Pankaj Chandgothia said the appeal for enhancement of compensation has been filed only against the PGI and not the CTU. "The Appellant is not claiming any further relief against Chandigarh Transport Undertaking (CTU) and is satisfied with the claim granted by the learned State Commission to that extent against CTU,” said the appeal. Chandgothia has pleaded for higher compensation against the PGI by saying that the learned State Commission has erred in assessing and awarding compensation on a very lower side against the PGI and on a consolidated and lump-sum basis. The compensation ought to have been assessed separately under various admissible heads, especially towards death of only child in her youth, pecuniary damages and special damages. The learned State Commission has altogether omitted the grant of special damages ie the Non-Pecuniary aspect. It was pleaded that the family of the deceased is a poor and indigent family. They were rearing their only daughter Anupama, as their future hope and bread-earner for the family.

Lawyer moves NHRC against SDM
Chandigarh, April 19 Pankaj Chandgothia, advocate and social activist, today filed a complaint with the NHRC, New Delhi, against Tanvi Garg, her gunman, her driver and the Chandigarh police seeking their suspension for manipulating the law and conniving with each other to deny the freedom of a citizen and putting him in illegal detention for 21 hours, without there being any cognizable offence against him. “Under the Section 107 of the CrPC, the SDM can summon a person and ask him to furnish a peace/good behaviour bond. Such a person is not produced in fisticuffs or produced by the police,” said the advocate. Under the Section 151, a police officer can arrest a person on apprehension of disturbing public tranquility, but if arrested, a Judicial Magistrate and not Executive Magistrate can only bail out that person. The fact that the police left Vikrant after producing him before the SDM shows that he was not formally arrested. Therefore, keeping him in jail from 7 pm on April 17 to 3 pm on April 18 amounts to unlawful detention and violation of the Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. This is also a Human Rights Violation, the petition states. The impounding of his Bolero Jeep is also illegal as there is no allegation of any traffic violation against him. — TNS
