A massive fire gutted out the National Museum of Natural History post midnight on Tuesday. It took fire services over four hours to douse the blaze with 35 fire engines pressed into service. No casualties were reported. Large plumes of smoke emanating from the top floor of the FICCI build-ing where the museum is housed, caught the se-curity personnel’s eye at around 1:45 am. A call was made to the fire ser-vices and a few engines were rushed in from the Connaught Place fire station. No one was in the building at the time, fire services said. “My security personnel rang

The Supreme Court today dismissed be-leagured Vijay Mallya’s prayer for pro-tection from disclosure of his assets and those of his family, in India and abroad, to Kingfisher Airlines’ lenders, saying “no tangible” grounds have been raised to maintain secrecy of informa-tion. “We don’t find any tan-gible objection in disclos-ing the assets (of Mallya, his wife and children) to banks,” a bench com-prising Justices Kurian Joseph and R F Nariman said. The bench directed the apex court registry to furnish to the lend-ers, a consortium of banks, the details of assets, both domestic and foreign, de-clared by the former liquor baron of him-self and his family members, in sealed cover to the apex court. The top court, which said Mallya has not complied with

its April 7 order in its letter and spirit, ob-served that “the whole purpose of asking for disclosure was to give a fair idea to banks for entering into a meaningful and viable settlement.” It asked the Debt Re-covery Tribunal in Bengaluru to “expe-ditiously decide” within two months, the

pleas of banks and financial insti-tutions for recovery of their

loans. The direction was issued after Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi submitted that there was

“total non-compliance” with the apex court’s April

7 order as Mallya was neither indicating the date of his return to the country to make an appearance before the court nor was he showing his bon-afide for reaching a settlement with the lenders by not showing willingness to deposit a substantial part of the amount he owed them.

The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress won equal number of seats in the election to the municipal corporation of Gujarat’s capital Gandhinagar, throwing up a tie. The polling for the second term of the GMC was held on Sunday. By-elec-tions to 10 taluka pancha-yat seats in five districts were also held simul-taneously. The BJP has won seven, leaving the rest to the Congress. The

BJP earlier had only one of these rural seats in five districts while Congress had six. Meanwhile, the BJP and the Congress have won one seat each in by-polls to two seats in as many district pan-chayats. Losing its ma-jority in the 32-member Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation, the BJP has won 16 seats, two down from 18, equalling the number of seats held by the Congress.

Senior Congress leader Antony was the defence minister when the VVIP helicop-ter deal with Italy-based firm AgustaWestland was being finalised and sealed in February 2010 during the United Progressive Alliance government. In a 225-page judgment, a judge at the Milan Court of Appeals found that bribe was paid by the firm to Indian officials to get the $530 million contract for the supply of 12 chop-pers. The Indian govern-ment, however, cancelled the deal in 2013 when a controversy over the deal emerged with the arrest of Agusta’s parent organisa-tion Finmeccanica CEO Giuseppe Orsi by Italian authorities.

gress has more reason to cheer than the BJP in the results as the party’s panel of four has won in three out of a total of eight wards, while only one of the BJP’s panels

lost power midway when its three members de-fected to the BJP, which held 15 seats. The GMC then had 33 seats. After delimitation, these were reduced to 32. Gandhi-nagar and Junagadh were the only two corpora-tions out of eight where the Congress held the majority. Gandhinagar Mayor Mahendrasinh Rana, who had defect-ed to the BJP to topple the ruling Congress, has lost the elections by just 60 votes to Congress’

QUOTE OF THE

DAYWaiting for justice, But the judiciary is not blameless

Chief Justice of India T.S. Thakur has lobbed the ball in the government’s court, pointing out that the problem of case pendency, which denies justice to millions, owes to its reluctance to fill the benches. His reference to a recommendation from the Law Commission in 1987, which had called for increas-ing the number of judges fivefold, points a finger at all the governments that have held office since that time. None of them showed sufficient interest in closing the gap, while both the population and the volume of litigation have grown rapidly. The courts generally draw public attention in extraor-dinary circumstances — when they rise to defend the Constitution and civil rights, or when they are criticised by the other pillars of democracy for ju-dicial overreach or activism. Now, Justice Thakur has used the occasion of a meeting of chief minis-ters and chief justices of the high courts to focus, with visible anguish, on the quotidian operational challenges facing the judicial system. How could Make in India possibly work, he asked, if foreign investors are put off by the tardiness of dispute res-olution? The flagship scheme provided an excellent tactical target, but the effect of pendency is most brutally felt by those without economic power. Un-dertrials have their right to liberty suspended for years at a time. The public, which depends on the courts for relief, hesitates to put assets like housing on the market. Indeed, poor legal protection urges Indians to be risk-averse as a matter of course, with significant economic and social implications. Jus-tice Thakur has drawn attention to a long-festering problem of the judicial system. However, the judi-ciary, too, has not given sufficient attention to the small systemic interventions that could dispropor-tionately increase the efficiency of justice delivery. For instance, the ease with which adjournments can be secured is a well-known cause of delay in civ-il cases. A direction from the chief justice limiting reasonable grounds for adjournment would reduce pendency considerably. Besides, cases in busy sec-tors of civil law fall into repetitive patterns.

Has the long wait end-ed? It looks so, if reports coming out of a swank residence on Road No. 25, Jubilee Hills are to be believed. Ac-tor-turned-Rajya Sabha member K.

at 1.30 p.m. on April 29. Needless to say, it will be strictly out of bounds for the media. The ban-ner is yet to be finalised though. It has been a rath-er longish wait – almost six years — for the actor himself, not to speak of his ‘Mega’ fans. But for at least a year now, it has been known that it could be a remake of the Tamil hit Kaththi that had ac-tor Vijay in the lead role. The Tamil film that hit

the screens on October 22, 2014 was written and directed by A.R. Muru-gadoss and was produced by Lyca Productions. While Mr. Vinayak will helm the project, it is said Mr. Murugadoss has been asked to make suit-able changes for Telugu audiences. For the re-cord, Mr. Chiranjeevi’s son Ramcharan will be the producer and the star’s wife Surekha may be presenting it.

SPORTS ROUNDUPSensex, Nifty rise to 4-month high as Maruti Suzuki, Tata Steel rally

Maruti Suzuki: Recent launches, rural markets key triggers

Rupee closes 10 paise stronger against US dollar at 66.52

Agency | Mumbai

Strong realisations and volume growth helped Maruti beat expectations on most parameters for the March’16 quarter. Volumes would have been higher but for the reservation agitation by Jats in Haryana. A product mix skewed towards higher value premium vehicles such as Ciaz, S-Cross and Baleno helped the company post 12.5% jump in realisations, which coupled with 3.9% growth in volumes helped over-all revenues grow 12.5%. While the S-Cross was launched in August 2015, the new Baleno was put on sale from October, and Ciaz over a year ago. Re-alisations could see incremental gain post the launch of the Vitara Brezza in March 2016. While compact segment sales (Swift, Ritz, Dzire, Celerio and Bale-no) are the largest volume generator and constitute half of Maruti’s domestic passenger vehicle sales, the company’s erstwhile bread and butter, the mini segment (Alto, Wagon R), continues to see a declin-ing trend. Both these trends help in improving prod-

uct mix by value and thus aid realisations.

Tata Steel Ltd surged to a one-year high and HDFC Bank Ltd rose the most in two months. Cigarette maker ITC Ltd rebounded from an intraday loss of as much as 2.8%. The Sensex rallied 1.3% at the close, reclaiming the 26,000 mark for the first time since December-end. The gauge has rebounded 13% from a February low as global funds extended their monthly purchases of local shares.

The Indian rupee closed stronger against the US dollar on Tuesday, after local equity mar-kets gained over 320 points. However, traders are cautious ahead of the start of the US Feder-al Reserve’s two-day policy meeting. The home currency closed at 66.52, up 0.14% from its pre-vious close of 66.62. The rupee opened at 66.72 per US dollar and touched a high and a low of 66.48 and 66.79, respectively, in intraday trade. “This is supported by strong fundamentals like fresh selling of dollars by exporters and banks. Recovery in domestic market sentiments will lead to more positive movement in Indian rupee,” said Choice Broking in its daily report. India’s bench-mark Sensex index rose 1.28%, or 328.37 points, to close at 26,007.30 points, a level last seen on 1 January. So far this year, the Sensex has fall-en 0.42%. The Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) are set to meet and announce their monetary policy decisions this week. Analysts expect that the BoJ meeting on Thursday will be reactionary and dependent on the stance laid out at the Fed on Wednesday.

The mark of Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s captain-cy, for India or Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings, has been the cer-tainty over his playing eleven. Tinkering with the side isn’t his style. That helped mould a core group that netted CSK two titles, making them one of the most success-ful IPL franchises. When Chennai were suspended for two years with Rajas-

than Royals and two new teams floated, the big question was how Dho-ni’s methods would work

with the R i s i n g Pune Supergiants. Five matches on, and after the fourth straight de-feat, his leadership is

The government will take up 251 works under 19 themes.

It is not just a number but success story. The Chief Minister called for implementing the statewide Smart Village drive from Gujarat’s foundation day on May 1 to Gandhi Jayanti on October 2, 2016. She directed the district level officers form teams and fan out to villages once a week, to sit with the villagers, understand and solve their problems on-the-spot, in intensive collaboration with the lo-cal leaders and officials. She asked them to collate the positive outcome of Lok Samvad Setu as well. She said the work should not stop in any circum-stances. The Chief Minister released a booklet on Gatisheel Gujarat Timetable 2016-17. An audio video presentation was also made on the occasion. Chief Secretary G.R. Aloria complimented the karma yogis of Gujarat Government for making a success of the first three phases of Gatisheel Gu-jarat and taking the state’s rich work culture down to the people.
