SP to probe attack on students in Lalru
Lalru, August 28 Mohali SSP Inder Mohan Singh Bhatti has marked an inquiry to Anil Sharma, SP of the area. Bhatti directed Sharma to investigate the matter from all angles and submit a comprehensive report. Sources said the police questioned hostel inmates in connection with the incident. The SSP said trouble started in the presence of hostel warden Sandeep, who was yet to be located after the clash. He said the police laid a trap to nab the warden. Bhatti visited the spot on Thursday and took a round of the hostel. He held the college management responsible for allotting a separate hostel to students from Jammu and Kashmir and another hostel to students from other states. "I have advised the college management not to keep Kashmiri students separately. The college management has failed to handle the issue carefully," the SSP said. Dera Bassi SDM Sanjiv Kumar said enquiries revealed that no slogan was raised in the hostel. "Over 400 students, including 200 from Jammu and Kashmir, are staying in the hostels. The issue was under control on Tuesday night, but some outsiders flared tempers on Wednesday," he claimed. Dr TD Sharma, director-principal of the college, claimed that the college was closed till September 8 and the hostel inmates sent home. "The hostel was vandalised by students," he claimed. |
Stray dog menace: HC grills MC
Chandigarh, August 28 As the case came up for resumed hearing, Justice Rajan Gupta questioned the corporation on the mode of transportation and stay of the Mayor, five councillors and other officials during the trip. Justice Gupta was told that the team went by air and stayed in a private hotel. Responding to the assertion, Justice Gupta questioned the corporation on availability of accommodation in the Circuit House there. The corporation has now been asked to file a short affidavit on steps initiated and the issue of compensating the victim bitten by a rabid dog. The Joint Commissioner, Municipal Corporation, was present during the proceedings. He had, on the previous date of hearing, submitted that a team comprising the Mayor, five councillors, the Joint Commissioner and other officials, had visited Nasik to conduct a study on how the dog menace could be curbed. Taking note of the assertion, Justice Gupta had asserted: “It is not clear to this court whether pursuant to the said exercise any concrete steps have been taken by the corporation for controlling the menace of stray dogs. For this purpose, the Joint Commissioner, Municipal Corporation, is directed to remain present in the court…. He may also apprise the court what was the expenditure incurred in the trip made to Nasik”. Justice Gupta, on a previous date, had sought a status report from the corporation on the issue of monitoring funds allocated to NGOs for sterilisation and immunisation
of dogs. The direction came after the High Court was told that the corporation was paying Rs 1,000 per dog to local NGOs for sterilisation, immunisation and treatment. MC joint commissioner Rajiv Kumar Gupta has already filed an affidavit before the court underscoring comprehensive schemes for the management of stray dogs in Chandigarh. |

Coloniser told to hand over possession of flat
Mohali, August 28 Failing which, the firm would have to pay him interest at 9 per cent per annum on the amount received by them and also pay him Rs 50,000 as compensation for harassment and Rs 10,000 as litigation expenses. Dr Katoch had filed an application before the Permanent Lok Adalat (PUS) alleging that he had agreed to purchase a flat from the respondent coloniser for Rs 17,00,000. He had paid Rs 16,50,000, after which the coloniser cancelled his allotment and forfeited 20 per cent of the amount deposited by him. The contention of the coloniser was that the applicant was a chronic defaulter. He did not pay full instalments on time, due to which the allotment was cancelled in terms of the agreement. The Permanent Lok Adalat (PUS) allowed the application holding that the delay in the payment of instalments had impliedly been condoned by the coloniser because the firm continued receiving part payments from him without any objection and had not served any notice on him before cancellation. It was also noticed that the construction was not complete. Debris was lying in the complex. The electric supply had not been started and the completion certificate had not been obtained from the appropriate authority without which possession could not be delivered. The cancellation was quashed. The respondent was directed to complete the construction and obtain the completion certificate within two months and put the applicant in possession of the flat. If the possession was not delivered within one month thereafter, the coloniser would pay interest on the deposited amount at 9 per cent per annum and would also pay the applicant Rs 50,000 as compensation and Rs 10,000 as litigation costs. |
