SC rejects Golf Club’s plea
New Delhi, August 29 A Bench comprising Justices FMI Kalifulla and SK Singh directed the club to deposit 50 per cent of the amount within three weeks as directed by the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The club had come challenging the HC’s July 24, 2014, order refusing to grant any relief in the payment of the lease rent. Appearing for the club, senior advocate Salman Khurshid pleaded for at least some relief but the SC was not convinced. Counsel Chandra Prakash, who appeared for the Administration, contended that the club had suppressed the information that the lease was renewed in 2001 under which least rent would go up by 7 per cent every year. The annual membership fee was one of the highest in the country and as such the club should not have any problem in paying the enhanced rent, he pleaded. The club continued to pay the rent on the old rate, resulting in accumulation of arrears. On July 19, the DC had asked the club to deposit Rs 8.59 crore within 15 days for the period March 2008 to March 2014, failing which the premises would be sealed.

Husband, paramour get life term
Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, August 29 A clear motive of an extramarital affair and circumstantial evidence led to the conviction. The murder took place in July 2012 when 32-year-old Vajinder, who was employed with a fast food joint in the city, murdered his wife Pooja in connivance with his paramour Renu and then dumped her body in bushes in a deserted area in Hoshiarpur. According to the prosecution case, Vajinder was forcing Pooja to divorce him so that he could marry Renu, but Pooja refused to do so. Vajinder then planned to eliminate Pooja in connivance with Renu. While pronouncing the order, the court stated, “The husband is expected to remain faithful to his wife to maintain and sustain the sanctity of the wedlock. Mutual trust is its very foundation. Any breach of trust on either side can prove fatal and deadly. In the case in hand, Pooja’s husband Vajinder Paul went awry. He broke the trust of his wife deliberately. He crossed all limits of humanity when he, in furtherance of his common intention, committed the murder of his wife with the help of his paramour.” “He turned brute and strangled all norms and values of his marital status. The other accused, Renu Bains, also joined hands in the commission of the murder of Pooja. Both accused, in furtherance of the common intention, caused the evidence of the offence to disappear with the intention of screening themselves from legal punishment. Such persons deserve exemplary and stringent punishment,” the court stated. Vajinder and Renu had given Pooja a heavy dose of sedatives and strangled her thrice in a car while on the way from Chandigarh to Hoshiarpur where they dumped her body. She was fastened with a seat belt on the front seat of the car in an unconscious state while she was being taken to Hoshiarpur. The two had set the victim’s body afire before dumping it. While the woman was murdered on July 13, 2012, the case was registered on July 16 after the police investigations into the missing report lodged by victim Pooja’s family unearthed that she had been killed owing to strained relations with her husband. The police had then arrested Vajinder, who was then employed as a manager at Nik Bakers in Sector 35, and Renu, who was staying as a paying guest in Sector 20 in the city. The woman’s body was recovered by a police team from Hoshiarpur on that day. Vajinder had an affair with Renu, whom he met while they were working together at Dominos in Jalandhar. Convicts show no remorse
Even though they were sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder, none of the two convicts Vajinder and Renu showed any signs of remorse on their face. Both kept talking to each other while in the courtroom after the orders were pronounced.

Civic body meeting a noisy affair
Chandigarh, August 29 The dance artistes, however, were not hired since the Teej function was cancelled and the committee was disbanded. Later, MC officials organised the function on their own. Soon after the House proceedings began at 3.22 pm, Rawat accused the SAD councillor of supporting a higher bid. Rawat asked Mayor HC Kalyan that it should be made clear as to who opened the highest bid of Rs 1.35 lakh when the lowest bid was of Rs 1.20 lakhs. Rawat claimed that she was not even informed while the bids were opened. “Being the chairperson of the committee, the bids should have been opened in my presence,” she said. She alleged that the SAD councillor, during a meeting of the organising committee, had used unparliamentary language against her. As the SAD councillor was not present in the House meeting, BJP councillors said Rawat should not be leveling allegations against Harjinder Kaur as she was not present in the House. Mayor HC Kalyan said they would enquire the matter to find out who opened the bids. The ruckus continued for nearly 30 minutes forcing the Mayor to adjourn the house for nearly 35 minutes. Teej festival, which was to be celebrated on August 3, was postponed as the Opposition asked the ruling Congress to invite MP Kirron Kher as the chief guest at the function. The festival was later organised on August 9.

Hike in water tariff deferred, again
Chandigarh, August 29 This is the second time that the issue was taken up in the House; however, a majority of councillors opposed it. MC Commissioner VP Singh said tariff was being revised to curb misuse of potable water. “Only those who are using excess water will be affected with the hike,” Singh added. A BJP councillor and the leader of Opposition, Arun Sood, backed by several other party councillors, demanded that the agenda item should be rejected. Congress councillor Subhash Chawla claimed that the revision of tariff will also affect middle-class joint families and sought rejection of the agenda item. Chawla proposed several other measures to curb misuse of water and recover the revenue losses. Congress councillor Satish Kainth outrightly opposed the proposal of approving the revised water tariff. The MC commissioner, however, said the agenda for the next House meeting can be amended and a discussion can be held on it. “The House can modify and approve a revised agenda,” he said. The House then decided to defer the issue to the next meeting. The public health wing of the MC had prepared a revised tariff plan, which would affect residents using above 60 kilolitre (kl) of water. At present, consumers are charged at the rate of Rs 8 per kl for 60 to 80 kl of water. If the revised tariff plan comes into effect, they will have to pay Rs 25 per kl for similar volume of water. For consumption above 80 kl, residents will have to pay Rs 40 per kl as per the new tariff while they are presently paying at the rate of Rs 8 per kl.

UIET holds the key for student parties
Chandigarh, August 29 As per records of the university, 52 candidates filed their nominations for the post of president today. Of these, 11 are from the University Institute of Engineering and Technology (UIET) Department and nine from the University Institute of Legal Studies (UILS). The UIET has emerged as the key department from where student parties might field their presidential candidates.
The second choice of student parties for their panel is from the UILS instead of the Law Department, which earlier topped the list of parties. The parties have been making all possible efforts to garner support from these departments. The UIET has a strength of around 2,600 students, out of which more than 1,600 usually cast their vote in the election. Both the UILS and the Law Department have around 2,100 votes each. The Dental Sciences Institute also has a considerable voter bank with 500 students and the University Institute of Applied Management and Sciences (UIAMS) has around 350 students. In addition to these, the Chemical Engineering Department has nearly 600 students. The student leaders claimed that the focus had shifted from the Arts and Sciences to professional departments and more time was being devoted to these departments during campaigning. A student leader said, “It has become mandatory for every party to focus on the UIET and UILS departments as the maximum votes are cast from here. This decides the fate of parties in the council election.” Earlier, the post of secretary or general secretary was allotted to the candidates of these departments. However, this year, a majority of the parties have nominated their presidential candidate from the UIET to confirm their maximum support.
