SC seeks reply from UP govt on Mau MLA Abbas Ansari's bail plea

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday issued a notice to the Uttar Pradesh government, asking it to file a reply in response to the plea of Mau MLA Abbas Ansari seeking bail. The plea relates to a case filed against Ansari over alleged 'illegal' prison visits by his wife. Ansari, the elder son of gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari, was booked last year by the Uttar Pradesh Police on allegations that his wife had been visiting him inside jail for extended periods without any restriction. Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal, representing Ansari, informed the court that Section 387 of the IPC has also been invoked against his client in this case. Ansari has challenged the Allahabad High Court's May order, which had rejected his bail application. The High Court had noted concerns that if Ansari could influence jail authorities, he might also be able to influence witnesses in the case upon his release. Ansari is accused of illegally meeting his wife, Nikhat, in the office of the prison superintendent at Chitrakoot jail. Reports indicate that these meetings between the couple lasted several hours.

Plea in HC against Varanasi civic body order to shut meat shops along Kanwar Yatra route during 'Saawan'

LUCKNOW: A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) petition has been filed before the Allahabad High Court challenging the Varanasi Municipal Corporation's direction to shut down all meat and poultry shops along the Kanwar Yatra route for the entire month of 'Saawan' in the holy city. The petition, moved by the National Loktantrik Party (NLP) through its national president (executive) Mohammad Suhail, on Wednesday, sought urgent hearing in the matter from the court. The petitioner also urged the High Court to quash the order of July 19, 2024, declaring it unconstitutional. The petitioner said that the directive of Varanasi Municipal Corporation not only violates the fundamental right to freedom of occupation, trade or business guaranteed under Article 19(1)(g) but also breaches the fundamental right to life with dignity and personal liberty as guaranteed under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. According to the petitioner, the practice of Kanwar Yatra in Saawan is an age-old tradition during which meat shops have always remained open. Therefore, the authorities, by passing such directives, are trying to create an exclusion by identity, he adds. The petitioner has further taken the ground that the authorities have passed a directive without considering the fact that the said directive will impact the livelihood of the shopkeepers. The shops earnings are the means of livelihood for the shop-owners and closure of business on the ground of selling non-vegetarian items is unreasonable and violates their fundamental right to carry on their trade or business. It also creates unlawful discrimination without sufficient cause as to why only meat shops are chosen to be closed, the petitioner adds. The petitioner also says in his plea that such a decision promotes breach of the fundamental right of individual liberty and choice of food, as it prevents persons willing to consume meat or for whom consumption of meat and non-vegetarian food is medically prescribed. Many of these shops may be on rental and sudden closure of shops will affect them. As per the plea, these meat shops are mostly owned by the followers of Islam. Sources said the municipal body took the decision so that Kanwariyas did not face any issues during their yatra. As per reports, there are 96 meat shops on the Kanwar Yatra route Varanasi. Lastly, the plea seeks guidelines for operating meat and poultry shops during Saawan and other Hindu festivals in order to balance religious sentiments and business interests within the jurisdiction of the Varanasi Municipal Corporation.

BJP ex-MLA serving life in prison for murder released after UP Governor's pardon

PRAYAGRAJ: Former Uttar Pradesh BJP MLA Udaybhan Karwariya, sentenced to life in prison for the 1996 murder of a Samajwadi Party legislator, was released from prison on Thursday following his pardon by Governor Anandiben Patel. Naini Central Jail senior superintendent Rang Bahadur Patel told PTI, The release orders of Udaybhan Karwariya were received on Wednesday evening. Acting on the order, he was released on Thursday morning. The governor, using powers conferred on her under Article 161 of the Constitution, had passed an order to release Karwariya after accepting the state government's recommendation for his premature release. Article 161 empowers the governor of a state to grant pardons, reprieves, respites or remissions of punishment or to suspend, remit or commute the sentence of any convict against any law relating to a matter to which the executive power of the state extends. Prayagraj's senior superintendent of police and the district magistrate made the recommendation to release Karwariya, citing his good conduct in jail, officials said. The pardon order was issued last week. An additional sessions judge in Prayagraj sentenced Karwariya to life in prison on November 4, 2019, for the August 1996 murder of Samajwadi Party MLA Jawahar Yadav. Yadav was shot dead in Prayagraj and a case was registered against Karwariya, his brothers Kapilmuni Karwariya and Surajbhan Karwariya and another.

The tale of Indias youngest air command

KOCHI: From modest beginnings four decades ago, the Southern Air Command (SAC) the countrys youngest air command has come a long way, proving its mettle and spreading its wings relentlessly. As the SAC celebrates its 40th anniversary, it is time to revisit the journey of its glorious service. Establishment of SAC headquarters Until the early 1980s, the Central Air Command in Allahabad was responsible for providing air defence to the entire Indian Peninsula and its island territories. However, it was deemed geographically too far to exercise effective control and meet the increased security demands emerging from the changing geopolitical situation around the southern peninsula. A need was, therefore, felt to establish an Operational Air Command covering the geopolitical area of south India, extending to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal and Lakshadweep Islands in the Arabian Sea. On July 20, 1984, then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi inaugurated the headquarters of the Southern Air Command (SAC) at Belhaven Palace an old palace of Travancore king located in the heart of Thiruvananthapuram city with Air Marshal TJ Desa as the first Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief. As personnel strength and operational relevance increased, the need for a command headquarters emerged. This led to the construction of the headquarters complex at Akkulam, which was inaugurated by Air Chief Marshal S K Sareen on April 6, 1996. By August 8, the Command and the unit moved from Belhaven Palace to the new complex. Strategic operations One of SACs successful operations was associated with the Indian Peace Keeping Forces in Sri Lanka called Operation Pawan between July 1987 and September 1989. AN-32s under SAC maintained the air link with its air bases and various divisional headquarters across Sri Lanka to support nearly 1 lakh troops and paramilitary forces. On November 3, 1988, Maldives faced an attempted coup. The Union government responded and accordingly, a joint operation of the Army and the Air Force (Operation Cactus) was launched. Two IL-76 carrying Army troops took off for the Maldives from Air Force Station Agra. The same day, a tactical operation room was immediately set up by the Southern Air Command. The next day, a detachment of SAC and Air Force Station Agra reached Maldives. Within 50 minutes, a two-way communication facility was established with the Indian mainland. Humanitarian assistance The first recorded history of humanitarian assistance rendered by the SAC was on August 19, 1986. The IAF had undertaken air-dropping of essential medicines for the dysentery-affected tribal community at Pulobhabi, a remote locality on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Then, during a flood in Andhra Pradesh in May 1990, SAC undertook a massive relief operation. On December 26, 2004, tsunami struck Indian coasts. During the time, the first aircraft to land on a partially submerged runway at Carnicobar Airfield was SACs AN-32. Similarly, helicopter display team Sarang, located at Air Force Station Sulur, played a significant role in Op Raahat in the Uttarakhand floods during July 2013. When Cyclone Ockhi hit the southern peninsula in 2017, the IAF reached out to the civil population for their rescue. Operation Karuna during the 2018 Kerala floods deserves a special mention. IAF responded to the states request and pressed its workhorses such as the AN-32s, the Gajraj IL-76, the versatile C-130 and the Globemaster C-17 aircraft into action. The NDRF response teams were airlifted from Arakkonam to Kozhikod by AN-32 aircraft. Helicopters ventured into areas inaccessible by even local boats, attempting some daredevil landings in adverse weather conditions. The sorties were undertaken braving bad weather, and at times the aircraft had to be flown below the minimum operational altitude without flight plans. IAF also mobilised 20,000kg of relief material through the Air Force Family Welfare Association.

'No work-no pay' not for employees reinstated after full exoneration: HC

The Allahabad High Court has held that the 'no work-no pay' formula is not applicable on those Uttar Pradesh government employees who have been reinstated after full exoneration. Allowing a writ petition filed by one Dinesh Prasad, Justice Salil Kumar Rai held that the rule 54 of the Financial Hand Book Volume-II (Part II to IV) provides that a dismissed employee who has been fully exonerated from all charges in enquiry is entitled to full pay for the period of dismissal once he is reinstated. It further provides that such period of dismissal shall be treated as period on duty in service. It is apparent that on his reinstatement after the order of dismissal or removal is set aside, a government servant cannot be denied his entire pay and allowances for the period he was out of service, the court said on Tuesday, allowing the petition. The court held that the quantum of amount which is payable to such employee will depend upon the nature of exoneration from the charges. It was he

Nithari Killings: SC to Hear Pleas by CBI, UP Govt Against HC Verdict Acquitting Surendra Koli

New Delhi : The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear separate pleas filed by the CBI and the Uttar Pradesh government challenging the Allahabad High Court's verdict acquitting Surendra Koli in the sensational 2006 Nithari serial killings case. A bench of Justices B R Gavai, K V Viswanathan, and N Kotiswar Singh issued a notice and sought a response from Koli on the petitions and tagged them with similar pleas which are already pending before the apex court. Notice. Tag, the bench said. The top court on July 8 sought a response from Koli on separate pleas filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against the high court's October 16 last year verdict. The apex court in May agreed to hear a plea filed by the father of one of the victims challenging the high court's order acquitting Koli in the case. In this case, Moninder Singh Pandher was acquitted by the sessions court while Koli was awarded the death penalty on September 28, 2010. The high court had acquitted domestic help Koli and his employer Pandher in the Nithari serial killings case in which they were facing a death sentence, holding that the prosecution failed to prove the guilt eyond reasonable doubt and that the investigation was otched up. Reversing the death sentence given to Koli in 12 cases and Pandher in two cases, the high court had noted that the prosecution had failed to prove the guilt of both the accused eyond reasonable doubt, on the settled parameters of a case based on circumstantial evidence and the probe was othing short of a betrayal of public trust by responsible agencies. Pandher and Koli were charged with rape and murder and sentenced to death in the killings that horrified the nation with their details of sexual assault, brutal murder and hints of possible cannibalism. The high court had allowed multiple appeals filed by Koli and Pandher, who had challenged the death sentence awarded by a Central Bureau of Investigation court in Ghaziabad. In all, 19 cases had been lodged against Pandher and Koli in 2007. The CBI had filed closure reports in three cases due to lack of evidence. In the remaining 16 cases, Koli was earlier acquitted in three and his death sentence in one was commuted to life. The sensational killings came to light with the discovery of the skeletal remains of eight children from a drain behind Pandher's house at Nithari in Noida, bordering the national capital, on December 29, 2006. Further digging and searches of drains in the area around the house led to more skeletal remains. Most of these remains were those of poor children and young women who had gone missing from the area. Within 10 days, the CBI had taken over the case and its search resulted in the recovery of more remains.

Nithari killings: SC to hear pleas of CBI, UP govt separately against Surendra Koli's acquittal

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday decided to hear separately the respective appeals filed by the CBI and the Uttar Pradesh government challenging the Allahabad High Court's verdict acquitting Surendra Koli in the 2006 horrific Nithari killings in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. A three-judge bench of the top court, led by Justice B R Gavai, K V Viswanathan, and N Kotiswar Singh issued a notice and sought a response from the convict, Koli on the appeals filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Uttar Pradesh government. The apex court also tagged the appeals of the CBI and UP government, with the pleas already being filed by one of the victim's father and pending for hearing in them. Nithari serial killings case: SC issues notice to Surendra Koli on CBIs appeal against his acquittal In July 2017, the special CBI court judge Pawan Kumar Tiwari, in his verdict, held Moninder Singh Pandher and Koli guilty for killing of a 20- year-old woman, Pinki Sarkar, and sentenced them to death for their brutal and diabolical crime. The Allahabad HC later, in January, 2015, commuted the death sentence to life imprisonment on account of an inordinate delay in deciding on Koli's mercy petition. The HC verdict was pronounced by a two-judge bench of then High Court Chief Justice (now Chief Justice of India) D Y Chandrachud and Justice P K S Baghel (Now retired) on a petition filed by the People's Union for Democratic Rights. But, the Allahabad High Court had in October last year, however, acquitted Moninder Singh Pandher and his domestic help Surendra Koli in some of the cases concerning the Nithari killings and overturned the death penalty imposed on them by the trial court. The HC had acquitted Koli in 12 cases and Pandher in 2 cases, where they were earlier held guilty for murder and awarded the death penalty by the trial court in these cases. While acquitting Pandher and Koli, the HC censured the investigating agencies, including the UP Police and CBI, for a very casual probe into the case. WhySurinder Koli is not yet out of the net inNithari Murder Case On the last date of hearing on July 8, Solicitor General (SG) Tushar Mehta, a senior law officer representing the CBI, said that Koli was a serial killer who used to lure young girls and kill them. The killings were gruesome, he said and told the bench that there were accusations of cannibalism. The trial court had awarded the death penalty to Koli, but the same had been reversed by the Allahabad High Court last year. In a similar development, the Supreme Court on May 4 asked the UP government to file its detailed response after hearing a plea filed by the father of one of the victims challenging the Allahabad HC's acquittal order of Moninder Singh Pandher and Surendra Koli in the gruesome Nithari killings. The top court also earlier issued notices to the respective parties after hearing a Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by Pappu Lal, the father of one of the victim girls in the case. Lal had moved the apex court to challenge the acquittal of Pandher and Koli. The lawyers who represented Lal in the top court were Geeta Luthra, Shivani Luthra Lohiya, and others. The brutal murders came to public attention and created a scary picture in December 2006, in the small village of Nithari, a distance of 20 odd kilometres from the national capital, when several skeletons were discovered in a drain near a house in the village of Noida. The police, after a thorough investigation, revealed that Pandher was the owner of the house and Koli was his domestic help. The CBI took up the investigation into the matter and arrested Koli and Pandher, and accordingly, a chargesheet was filed by the probe agency against the duo for their crime.

Congress opposes reduction of government stake in public sector banks

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Friday declared that any attempt to reduce the Union government's stake in 12 public sector banks to below 51 percent would be firmly resisted both in Parliament and outside. The party emphasized that the mergers within the public sector banking industry over the past seven years were broadly accepted only because the Union government's share was not reduced below 51 percent. Jairam Ramesh, Congress general secretary in charge of communications, recalled that 55 years ago on this day, then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had decisively nationalized 14 banks, marking a significant chapter in India's economic history. I have described the background to this momentous event based on archival material in my 'Intertwined Lives: PN Haksar and Indira Gandhi'. DN Ghosh, who played a key role along with Haksar, has also detailed it in his memoir 'No Regrets', he said. Ramesh also mentioned that IG Patel, who was the special secretary in the finance ministry at the time, has written about this significant policy shift in his 'Glimpses of Indian Economic Policy: An Insider's View'. Bank nationalization had profound impacts on lending for agriculture, rural development, and other priority sectors of the economy, Ramesh noted. He asserted that public sector institutions have served the country well during global financial crises and have built an impressive pool of managerial expertise. Over the past seven years, several mergers in the public sector banking industry have taken place. United Bank of India and Oriental Bank of Commerce have merged with Punjab National Bank; Syndicate Bank has merged with Canara Bank; Allahabad Bank has merged with Indian Bank; Union Bank of India has absorbed Andhra Bank and Corporation Bank; and Vijaya Bank and Dena Bank have been taken over by Bank of Baroda. Additionally, the State Bank of Patiala, State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, State Bank of Mysore, State Bank of Travancore, State Bank of Hyderabad, and Bharatiya Mahila Bank have been acquired by the State Bank of India. Ramesh acknowledged that these mergers have presented their own challenges. Big is not always better, he said. But they were broadly accepted only because the Union Government's share in public sector banks was not to be reduced below 51%. Any move to dilute that position in the 12 public sector banks that function presently would continue to be resisted forcefully both in Parliament and outside, Ramesh asserted. He also pointed out that while bank nationalization was a landmark event in July 1969, it initially faced criticism from political parties such as the Bharatiya Jan Sangh. However, within five months, the Jan Sangh was publicly demanding the nationalization of foreign banks as well, Ramesh noted.

Confessions recorded by police cannot be included in charge sheet: SC

New Delhi: Confession statements recorded by police officials must be ignored by courts, the Supreme Court said last week on Friday. The apex court made the observations while hearing a plea against Allahabad High Court's order upholding trial court's decision to reject the appellant's discharge application. A Supreme Court bench of Justice Abhay Oka and Justice Augustine George Masih asked trial courts to disregard confessional statements in the charge sheet of a case. Uttar Pradesh DGP, Prashant Kumar in his affidavit asserted that the UP police generally do not record confessional statements but this case was an exception. He also assured the top court that action would be initiated against the investigation officer for including confessions in the charge sheet. Both Section 25 of the Indian Evidence Act and Section 23 (1) of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam state that the confessions by accused to the police officer are not admissible as evidence.
