HC clears air on UT students’ admission
Chandigarh, August 27 The judgement by the Division Bench of Chief Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice Augustine George Masih came on a petition filed by Harleen Cheema against the State of Punjab and other respondents. She was seeking admission to MBBS course in Punjab after doing her 10+2 from Chandigarh. Her counsel had argued before the Bench that Chandigarh was the capital of Punjab; and as per a 1996 notification she was eligible for admission to medical colleges in the state as she was a bonafide resident, her father having properties in the state. Reference was made to a Supreme Court judgement by the counsel in an attempt to substantiate his contentions. Taking up the matter, the Bench asserted in view of the Supreme Court judgement and the 1996 notification a candidate from Chandigarh was eligible for admission in Punjab, if he or she was a bona fide resident of the state.

Court defers framing of charges
Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, August 27 Though she was present in the court, the court deferred the framing of charges in the case till September 16 because the former Justice had moved an application to defer the hearing so that the criminal revision application filed by her can be heard in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, where it is pending. Yadav's counsel said she had challenged the CBI court order of July 31 on the framing of charges in the High Court, which would hear the matter on August 30. The CBI counsel, Anupam Gupta, opposed the application and said the court could frame charges today because there was no bar from the Punjab and Haryana High Court on the framing of charges. However, the court adjourned the case till September 16 in view of "its nature and in the interest of justice". On August 27, Justice TPS Mann of the Punjab and Haryana High Court refused to hear the revision petition filed by Yadav, who challenged the Chandigarh special CBI court's order regarding the framing of charges against her and three others in the judge bribery case of August 2008. The case had rocked the entire judiciary in August 2008, when a bag containing Rs 15 lakh was "wrongly delivered" at the residence of Justice Nirmaljit Kaur, following which she reported the matter to the Chandigarh police.

City athletes hooked on drugs
Chandigarh, August 27 Budding athletes, participating in the ongoing Chandigarh State Athletics Championship, organised by the Chandigarh Athletics Association, were seen injecting performance enhancing drugs (PED) to win top positions in their respective events. Interestingly, the competition is a base to select participants for the upcoming various national level games. But the ground-reality is enough to leave sports lovers stunned. A visit to the venue of the competition revealed the ground reality and the serious matter of 'doping at the junior level'. Unaware of its side-effects, the players were seen injecting steroids, prior to their competition. Notably, the spot witnessed ample amount of used syringes, empty bottles of steroids, glucose lactonade, liquid amphetamine, diamond-liquid-stimulants, that fall under the category of performance enhancing drugs. Some athletes were dodging the organisers with hiding the syringes and cell-bottles inside their kit bags. “Basically, these steroids increase metabolism of the body and provide a temporary energy. Using steroids is not among the vise for one’s body and these players should understand its side-effects,” said Dr Gopal Bhardwaj, Head of the Department, Medicine at Government Multi-Specialty Hospital, Sector 16. When contacted general secretary of the Chandigarh Athletics Association, Ravinder Chaudhry said: “The matter is not in our notice. We are unaware. If the athletes are going for some performance enhancing injection, it’s unfair on their behalf.” Ravinder Chaudhry. When asked about doping test and its consequences, he said, “At the state level, we have nothing to keep a check on doping. But at the national level, these players will be checked by the National Anti Doping Agency (NADA). The players participating with unfair practices at the local level will surely face consequences at the national level competitions,” said Chaudhry. Also, majority of players participates in the national level competitions in order get only participation certificate. “It’s a usual practice with players. A player on drugs finishes first in the state level championship and qualifies for the nationals. Even on finishing last, in nationals, he will get a participation certificate that remains enough to fall under gradation. The players should be made aware of the drugs and their side-effects, otherwise it will remain a big problem to come over,” said a coach. Also, the players representing various colleges and institutions are from neighboring states of Haryana, Punjab and are unaware of usage of these drugs.
