Agency : New DelhiA sessions court is all set to deliver its verdict on Wednesday in the hit-and-run case involving Bolly-wood actor Salman Khan, who is charged with kill-ing one person and injur-ing four by ramming his SUV into a bakery shop in suburban Bandra 13 years ago. Police have geared up to provide tight securi-ty in the court to restrain the actor’s fans from en-tering the premises with a view to avoiding over-crowding, sessions court sources said. Only me-diapersons, lawyers and the court staff would be allowed inside the court, the sources said.Judge DW Deshpande

had declared last month that he would pronounce the verdict on 6 May. He also summoned the actor to remain present in the court at 11.15 AM on the day. The prosecution and

defence concluded argu-ments on 21 April in the trial which was conducted afresh after a Magistrate added the charge of culpa-ble homicide not amount-ing to murder and referred

the case to the sessions court. The culpable ho-micide offence, which provides for punishment upto 10 years, can be tried only by a sessions court and not by a magistrate. Earlier, the magistrate was trying Khan for rash and negligent driving, an

two years. Khan, 49, pleaded he was not driv-ing the car at the time of mishap and that his driver Ashok Singh was behind the wheel. This has been corroborated by Singh who appeared as defence witness. However, pros-ecution led by Pradeep Gharat alleged that Khan was driving after consum-ing ‘Bacardi Rum’ in a bar. The actor, on the other hand, argued he was hav-ing a glass of water and

not alcohol. While prose-cution pleaded that there were three persons in the car -- Salman, his police bodyguard Ravindra Patil and singer friend Kamal Khan, the actor argued that there was a fourth person, the actor’s driver Ashok Singh. A court had in 2013 framed charges in a fresh trial against Khan for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.The prosecution examined 27 witnesses to prove its case.

Opposition stalls GST Bill, insists on relook by panelAgency : New Delhi

With several Opposition parties raising serious concerns on a number of clauses, chances of the Constitution (122nd Amendment) Bill for introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) clearing Parliament in the current session dimmed on Tuesday. Union Finance Minis-ter Arun Jaitley “be-seeched” the Opposition in the Lok Sabha to “rise above partisan” consid-erations as they “serve no purpose” but the Con-gress, the AIADMK and the BJD mounted stiff resistance which could effectively stall the pas-sage in the current ses-sion as the government does not have a major-

ity in the Upper House — even if it manages to push the Bill through the Lower House on Wednesday. The Opposi-tion’s strategy in the Ra-jya Sabha will be to force the government to accept the referring of the Bill to a Select Committee on the ground that there are substantial chang-es which have not been scrutinised. In the Lok Sabha however, Speak-er Sumitra Mahajan on Tuesday rejected such a demand. Mr. Jaitley argued that if the GST Bill was sent back to the Standing Committee on Finance, it would delay the benefits to the States by another financial year as yet another deadline of April 1, 2016 would

be “missed”. A decade of deliberations had al-ready delayed the roll-out, he said. Still mem-bers of the Congress, the BJD, the AIADMK and the CPI(M) slammed the government for “bypass-ing” parliamentary stand-ing committees . Chair-man of the Parliamentary

Standing Committee on Finance Veerappa Moily said his party, the Con-gress, supported the GST but was opposed to some of the Bill’s provisions and demanded that it be referred to the panel. This was supported by the AIADMK and the BJD. Mr. Moily said the

government would not be doing any “charity”

by agreeing to the de-mand. The AIADMK’s P. Venugopal said his party opposed the Bill as it was “harmful” to producing States such as Tamil Nadu. The State, he said, would lose over Rs. 10,000 crore with the new tax regime. He de-manded that petroleum products — source of 21 per cent of Tamil Nadu’s tax revenue under the present tax structure — be taken out of the pro-posed GST regime.

India likely to ask Pakistan how 26/11 accused Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi got bail, who stood for surety bondAgency : New Delhi

India is likely to ask Pa-kistan as to how 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks accused Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi was released from jail on bail in violation of the United Nations norms as his outfit Lash-kar-e-Toiba was a des-ignated terrorist group. New Delhi is expected to send a diplomatic note to Islamabad seeking reply on how Lakhvi submit-ted two bail bonds worth Rs 1 million each for his release and who stood for the surety. Official sourc-

es said Indian security establishment suspects that Pakistani intelli-gence agency ISI might have arranged surety bonds to ensure Lakhvi’s release. India has already sought the UN’s inter-

vention in the release of Lakhvi. India said it was in violation of the norms of the global body and it should raise the matter with Pakistan. In a letter to the current Chair of the UN Sanctions Committee

Jim McLay, India’s Per-manent Representative to the UN Asoke Mukherjee said Lakhvi’s release by a Pakistani court was in violation of the 1267 UN resolution dealing with designated entities and individuals. In the letter by the Indian envoy, it was also mentioned that even the bail amount provided was against the sanctions’ committee rule which calls for freezing the funds and other finan-cial assets or economic resources of designated individuals and entities.

Salman Khan to marry Rakhi SawantAgency : New Delhi

Mumbai sessions court has held Salman Khan guilty of all charges in the 2002 hit-and-run case. Salman Khan’s sisters Al-

However the court didn’t listen and announced the verdict followed by the quantum of punishment. Court has offered Salman Khan to choose from the two options. Bhai of Bol-lywood can either choose to spend 3 years in jail or he has to do commu-nity service by marrying Rakhi Sawant. Bhai’s friends and family mem-bers were seen disheart-ened after listening to the punishment of marrying Rakhi Sawant.

DAYYou Will Find Me In Bollywood Movies By The End

Of 2015 Or Beginning Of 2016, Says Atif AslamAgency : Mumbai

After Bollywood music, Pakistani singing sensa-tion Atif Aslam is now all set to make a debut in Hindi film industry. He already have carved a niche for himself in Bol-lywood music with some blockbuster songs, such as ‘Pehli Nazar Mein’, ‘Tu Jaane Na’, ‘Wo Lam-hey’, ‘Aadat’, ‘Tere Bin’ and many more. “I am getting offers from the past couple of years and probably you will be finding me in something by the end of this year or beginning of next year,” said the 32-year-old Paki-stani singer. Aslam made his acting debut with Pa-kistani film ‘Bol’ in 2011 and since then he has been flooded with offers from Bollywood but he resisted the temptation. Besides a

OMG! Alia Bhatt married to Sidharth Malhotra!

Agency : New DelhiBollywood heartthrob Sidharth Malhotra recently got hitched to his Student Of The Year co-star Alia Bhatt! The two lovers had been spotted hanging out together earlier. Finally, the actress also confessed her love towards the hand-some hunk. There were several rumours flying about Sid and Alia’s love affair, but the duo denied the news. Take a sneak peek at some of the pic-tures of the just married

couple who looked elegant in their wedding attire. Alia even said, “Mujhe aap bohot pasand hai” (I like you) to Sid after the lovebirds got married! Now you must be sur-prised reading this break-ing news, but let us break the illusion. Sidharth and Alia got married in reel-life and not real! Coca-Co-la came up with a creative idea titled #Bidaai, where Sidharth and Alia acted as a newly married couple in their new ad film.

Appeals and the travesty of justiceAfter 13 years, actor Salman Khan has finally been convicted in the Mumbai hit-and-run case. In 2002, he ran his car over a group of homeless men sleeping on the platform, killing one and injuring several others. Khan, who has been sentenced to five years in prison by a Sessions court in Mumbai, is likely to appeal in the Bombay High Court. And in this way, some more years will pass. Consider another case, far from the glare of cameras and press attention, one where con-viction was delayed not by 13 years, but a mind-bog-gling 41 years. This was the obscure case of Parsuram Satpathy, a student leader, who was murdered by a former member of the legislative assembly and eight others in 1974 in Balangir, Odisha. On Monday, the Orissa high court awarded life imprisonment to three of the nine accused. The other six died over the course of 40 years. Quite naturally for Satpathy’s family, the punishment that has been handed out is a far cry from any understanding of the word justice. These very dif-ferent cases are among a huge number of civil and criminal proceedings that display one feature: delays caused by strict adherence to procedural justice. Once meant to safeguard the poor against the mighty, pro-cedural aspects of law now pose a danger to the de-livery of justice itself. The number of cases pending in the judicial pipeline is a case in point. A data-based Mint report on the overburdened judicial system re-vealed that, “The average percentage of cases pend-ing trial in state high courts and lower courts has in-creased to 84.81% in 2013 compared with 82.8% a decade earlier…The completion rate for cases has fallen to 13.19% in 2013 from 14.61% in 2003…the outstanding number of criminal cases before the judiciary was 9.71 million in 2013.” (The slow moving wheels of Indian judiciary, 5 August 2014) Compare this with the number of pending criminal cases in US district courts in 2013: 75,578. In the US, the number of pending cases has actually fallen 1% from 2012. Speed is the essence of justice. Very often, delays in the delivery of justice take the sting out of the crime. This provides sufficient room for the accused to device mitigation strategies that soon translate into grounds for leniency. This is evident in Khan’s case. The arguments that started surfac-ing before and after the verdict was announced are partly explained by this sort of strategizing. How to reconcile a verdict convicting him of killing a man, with the fact that through his charity Being Human he has helped in the betterment of several lives? To put it bluntly, for the purposes of justice it doesn’t matter. Khan committed his crime in 2002. He start-ed his charity in 2007. He could spend his life doing charity but that doesn’t diminish the gravity of the crime itself. The trouble with delaying justice is just this: it lends credence to such arguments for clem-ency.

It is quite waited and buzzed movie starring the pop-ular names and a com-pletely new story. Film is Sunny Leone’s first ever comedy movie and thus not only she but her

Sunvilla News, GandhinagarGujarat government to-day said it has decided to wait for Supreme Court’s verdict with regard to ap-pointment of custodians in cooperative societies and banks in the state that are functioning with-out holding elections of management committees within stipulated time frame. The state gov-ernment had last month

appointed custodians in Mehsana District Central Co-operative bank and Dudhsagar Dairy in Me-hsana, which were among 100-odd co-operative institutions that had not conducted elections of respective management committees in the stipulat-ed five-year term. These appointments were made as per the new provisions of Gujarat Cooperative Societies (Amendment) Bill 2015, which was re-cently passed in the As-sembly and approved by

Governor O P Kohli. Un-der the Act, the govern-ment is now empowered to appoint custodians in such societies to initi-ate the process of elec-tion. However, managing committees of both the institutions approached the Gujarat High Court against the appointment of custodians. Gujarat government spokesperson Nitin Patel today said the Court recently revoked the appointment of custo-dian in Mehsana District bank. The state govern-ment then approached Su-preme Court to challenge the order of High Court. “Supreme Court today gave an interim order in our favour and approved the appointment of cus-todian and set aside the High Court order. Further hearing will be held in July by the apex court,” said Patel.

Rajya Sabha MP from Gujarat, Ahmed Patel has led attention of Gujarat Chief Minister on de-crease in the production of millets in the state. Quoting the Socio-Eco-nomic Review(2014-15) of Gujarat, Ahmed Patel in a letter to Chief Min-ister Anandiben Patel said production of Ba-jra has reduced by 21% whereas Jowar output has shrunk by more than half (52%) to stand at a mere

against Jadeja on April 8 and arrested him on the basis of an FIR and two application filed by five unknown people,” said the petition filed by his uncle Ranubha Jadeja. Jadeja was booked under the charges of extortion for allegedly demanding money from people. The police had later invoked PASA against him after getting permission from the district administra-tion, the petition added. Jadeja alleged in the plea that he was booked under PASA and detained be-cause he has been fight-ing against Adani Group in the high court.

84,000 tonnes. He point-ed out that the figures are alarming because protein and micro nutrients-rich millets are vital in fight against malnutrition when half of children in Gujarat face stunted growth due to malnutrition. He fur-

ther said, “unlike other crops, millets can grow in harsh climatic condi-tions, require less water and fertilizer, and yet pro-vide reasonable yields to the farmers. Hence I find it disturbing that despite their numerous benefits, production of millets is receiving scant attention from the state govern-ment. Consequently, the acreage of both Jowar and Bajra has reduced by 48% and 25% respectively within one year.”

German Chancellor Merkel to visit India in October 2015: Steiner

Sunvilla News, AhmedabadGerman Chancellor An-gela Merkel will vis-it India in October for an inter-governmental consultation, country’s Ambassador to India Michael Steiner today said. “In October this year, German Chancel-lor Merkel will come to India with a delegation comprising a number of ministers for inter-gov-ernmental consultations with the Indian govern-ment under the leader-ship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Steiner said on the sidelines of inauguration of a Ger-man-based company’s plant at Sanand, about 25 km from here. Both the leaders are likely to dis-cuss issues of skill devel-opment of Indian youths,

he said. “Prime Minister Modi said to the German Chancellor, (during his visit to Hanover, Germa-ny, in April), so rightly, that when it comes to skill development, voca-tional training, Germa-ny is the natural partner for India,” Steiner said. “Why, because we have the unique way of train-ing young people with this dual approach where is not only the state but also the private sectors working together impart-ing the skills to the young people,” he said. “…Seeing various problems India has in this area (of skill development) and this is the one area, where we can be very successful in working together. We can also give India some-thing it needs probably

the most in coming years and that is the skilling of these young people who will join the market in the next years,” he said. “The Prime Minister (Modi), when he was in Hanover, I have seen that personally he brought with him a huge dele-gation of the economic leaders of India. The Ger-man companies realised India has again become very interesting, India is

on the move again and this (India) is the place to invest,” he said. “…The sheer presentation of the potential of Indian companies at Hanover has helped to convince German investors to look twice and realise probably now is the time to join those who have given the example in in-vesting and in trust in the potential of this market,” Steiner said.

Terming the investiga-tions “faulty”, the Judge

said that when the court asked about the posses-sion of the recovered boats and the satellite phone, the investiga-tion officer said that it was with the Customs Department. “How can you investigate with-out boats and phones (in your custody)? How will you cross check the call details”? the Judge said.
