Exempt 42 panchayats from Periphery Act: Manch
Kalka, July 19 It has also been interpreted in the memorandum that the state government has not implemented the Punjab New Periphery Control Haryana Amendment Act, 2003, to enable 60 per cent extension of Lal Dora (red line). As per the notification published in the official gazette of Haryana under the Haryana Act 2003, Lal Dora of 7,000 villages of Haryana should be extended. However, the Punjab New Capital (Periphery) Control Haryana Act, 2003, has not been implemented. The state government in 2003, after some amendment in the Article 15 of the above said Act, had issued notification regarding the expansion of 60 per cent Lal Dora in ‘Abadi Deh’, which was not implemented even after nine years. The Shiwalik Vikas Manch had also filed a PIL in the Punjab and Haryana High Court in this context, which is under consideration. The state government in the last monsoon session of the Vidhan Sabha had cancelled its notification and deprived the layman of the right of constructing the house even on his own land. On June 13, 2012 in a meeting of the Cabinet, an ordinance was passed, which disenabled the amended Article 15 of the Punjab New Periphery Control Act, 1952. In the meeting, the state government had also given an assurance that a new alternative policy in this context would be brought out soon, but nothing happened till date.

cash at judge’s door Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, July 19 Arguing on the framing of charges against the accused in the case, advocate Vishal Garg today stated that the CBI had itself admitted in its closure report filed in the case earlier and also in the report seeking prosecution sanction that there was no evidence to corroborate the influence of accused Ravinder Singh on the property related matter. The defence counsel added that there was no substance in the allegations of the CBI that Justice Nirmal Yadav (retd) fast-tracked a property dispute case she was hearing and then ruled in favour of the party represented by Sanjiv Bansal, the then Additional Advocate General, Haryana, who paid her Rs 15 lakh through her 'close friend' Delhi-based businessman Ravinder Singh, days after the verdict. "There is no evidence to corroborate the influence of Ravinder Singh on the case and the CBI had itself admitted the fact in the closure report filed earlier in the case and also in the report seeking prosecution sanction," said the defence counsel, adding that the case decided by Yadav had been brought into the picture with malicious intent. The defence counsel said there were no direct calls between Justice Yadav and Sanjeev Bansal and thus the CBI's allegations were unsubstantiated. The arguments by the defence counsel on the framing of charges will continue in the CBI court tomorrow. In August 2008, a case was registered under relevant Sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act against Yadav and Delhi-based hotelier Ravinder, along with Sanjiv Bansal, former Additional Advocate General of Haryana, Rajiv Gupta, a Chandigarh-based businessman, and one Nirmal Singh. The case was initially registered by the UT police on August 13, 2008, after Rs 15 lakh, allegedly intended to be given to justice Yadav, were wrongly delivered at the residence of justice Nirmaljit Kaur, another High Court Judge, on August 13, 2008. The case was subsequently handed over to the CBI.
