Jharkhand HC quashes govt order cancelling JSSC CGL appointments, CID probe to continue
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Nov 6 (IANS) The Jharkhand High Court has set aside the state government's decision to cancel the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission's (JSSC) Combined Graduate Level (CGL) examination and the appointments made on its basis. The decision has provided major relief to candidates who had been selected and appointed through the recruitment process. However, the court allowed the probe into irregularities in the examination to continue. Justice Deepak Roshan delivered the verdict on Friday while hearing petitions filed by successful candidates challenging the government's order. The state government, on August 18, had cancelled the CGL examination, certain other recruitment tests, and the appointments made through them, citing a CID investigation report and protests by aspirants. The petitioners, including candidate Akash Gaurav, argued before the court that individuals involved in any wrongdoing could be identified and proceeded against separately. They contended that it was neither fair nor justified to scrap the entire selection process and invalidate all appointments because of the alleged misconduct of a few candidates. The state government, meanwhile, submitted a sealed report to the court, claiming that the recruitment process had been marred by large-scale irregularities and systemic failures. During the hearings, however, the court observed that all selected candidates could not be presumed guilty only on the basis of allegations of wrongdoing in the examination process. The High Court had reserved its judgment on October 8 after hearing arguments from all parties. On the same day, it continued its interim stay on the government's cancellation order, allowing affected employees to remain in service until the final verdict. Earlier, on September 18, the court had appointed retired judge Gautam Kumar Choudhary to monitor the investigation into the alleged irregularities. Retired IPS officer R.K. Mallik was designated as the nodal officer to assist in the probe. The court had also directed that candidates selected through a fair process should not be harassed in the name of the investigation. With its latest ruling, the High Court has struck a blow to the state's decision to annul the appointments while making it clear that the CID investigation into the alleged examination scam will continue. The detailed order is yet to be released.

Ranji Trophy: Badoni Meant For Bigger Things But Sells Himself Very Cheap, Says Dahiya
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Delhi coach Vijay Dahiya believes captain Ayush Badoni is destined for bigger things, but feels the batting all-rounder sells himself short by not setting high enough standards. Badoni has been on a mission to bounce back from being dropped by India A by making big runs in the Ranji Trophy. He was a regular in the India A setup and had even led the side, apart from being in the senior team for the ODI series against New Zealand in January as a replacement for injured Washington Sundar. But after a poor IPL 2026 for Lucknow Super Giants, Badoni was left out of the India A series against Sri Lanka, Australia and the ongoing tour of New Zealand. With the first phase of the Ranji Trophy ending, Badoni sits as the second-highest run-scorer with 559 runs in four games coming at an average of 111.8, including hitting 210 not out and 217 against Gujarat and Jharkhand respectively. But Badoni managed only 7 and 17 in the drawn game against Services at Palam, with Delhi taking three points due to taking the first innings lead. Hes meant for bigger things, but he sells himself very cheap. He doesnt set the standard high enough for himself. Thats what I see in him, and Ive seen this in a lot of people who have gone on to achieve big things. Hes got all those traits too. When youre in an environment where your 100 becomes a daddy hundred, you need people to push you, Dahiya told reporters at the conclusion of the game on Thursday. Dahiya, who worked closely with Badoni at Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), also felt the batting all-rounder tends to get caught up in battles with bowlers, which in turn leads to him being unsettled when facing good balls. Sometimes, he gets affected when somebody bowls a couple of good deliveries. He needs to understand that he has to give the bowler respect as well. The bowler is doing his job. If somebody challenges you and says, Ill keep you tight, you have to respond. Its almost like a boxer. If somebody punches you once, you punch back twice. Dahiyas advice to Badoni is very simple: stay at the crease longer and see out the tough spells before going after the bowlers. I told him that he needs to spend time in the middle. You can only score runs when youre in the middle. Thats where he needs to bite the bullet and say, For the next half an hour, maybe for a session, Ill stay there. Then Ill score. It should hurt when youve captained India A, and then youre not even being talked about. But on two difficult wickets, he has scored back-to-back hundreds and a double hundred. So hes on the right path, he added. Dahiyas advice to Badoni is very simple: stay at the crease longer and see out the tough spells before going after the bowlers. I told him that he needs to spend time in the middle. You can only score runs when youre in the middle. Thats where he needs to bite the bullet and say, For the next half an hour, maybe for a session, Ill stay there. Then Ill score. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Openers Sachin Dhas and Prithvi Shaw knocked it off in just 19.4 overs. While Dhas was unbeaten on 61 off 68 balls with 10 fours, and reached his fifty in 43 deliveries, Shaw made an unbeaten 53 off 50 balls, laced with three fours and four sixes, and got his half-century in 47 balls.

In Ahmedabad, Gujarat crushed Kerala by an innings and 58 runs to get a bonus-point victory. Urvil Patels unbeaten 210 set up the win, while Arzan Nagwaswalla finished with match figures of 8-83, including 4-24 on the last day, as Kerala were bowled out for 197 after being made to follow on. Tamil Nadu needed three wickets on the final day, and Ajith Ram took them all, finishing with 7-48 to seal the win over Chandigarh. At the Air Force Complex Ground in Palam, Yash Dhulls first hundred of the season helped Delhi hold on for a draw against Services and take three points due to taking a first-innings lead. Chasing 320, Delhi slipped to 119/4 just before tea when Nitin Tanwar removed Ayush Doseja for 14. But Dhull stood firm and finished unbeaten on 104 off 104 balls, with 11 fours and two sixes. He reached his century off 102 deliveries, shortly before the teams shook hands with Delhi, ending on 168/4 after 38 overs. Services captain Rajat Paliwal completed a century in each innings, while ex-Delhi player Mohit Ahlawat made 142 as Services declared their second innings at 397/9. Elsewhere, several games ended in draws. Uttar Pradesh made 492, built on Adarsh Singhs 162 and Madhav Kaushiks 137, and Prashant Veer took 3-42, but they could not get a win over Baroda in Kanpur.

Congress anarchy toolkit: BJP blasts Jharkhand Minister over worse than Bangladesh threat
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday hit out at Jharkhand minister Irfan Ansari over his threatening and inflammatory remarks about students protests in the country and said that such venomous statements reflected the anarchic mindset of Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party. BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari, taking strong exception to his claims that 40 lakh youth are waiting to hit the streets on one call of Rahul Gandhi, said that this was a clear manifestation of the Congress partys anarchic politics. Rahul Gandhis conspiracy for spreading anarchy is being exposed through Irfan Ansaris comments, as the latter claimed that the situation in India could turn out like Bangladesh. This clearly shows that Rahuls protest was not democratic resistance; Neha Boras comment was not made in isolation, Bhandari said. This conspiracy is not the Congress partys protest for democracy but a new episode of fomenting trouble through the anarchy toolkit. But the people of the country will not accept this anarchy as they know its the Modi government which is protecting the democratic institutions, he added. Shiv Sena leader Anand Dubey, taking offence at Jharkhand Health Minister Irfan Ansari's statement, said, No matter how much any anarchic element conspires to spread disorder, we have complete faith in our law and order system. We will not allow anyone to fulfil their intentions. If anyone is speaking the language of Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka, it will not be tolerated under any circumstances, he said, speaking to IANS. The political storm broke out over Congress leader Irfan Ansaris comments, as he claimed that more than 40 lakh youths are waiting to take action if PM Modi doesnt act and the situation could turn out to be worse than in Bangladesh and Nepal. Ansari, speaking to newsmen, said that Rahul Gandhi has kept them restrained and his one nod could set them free, making it impossible for anyone, including the Indian Army, to contain them. His incendiary remark has triggered major controversy, with many BJP leaders calling it an open call for spreading anarchy, with many of them training guns at the Congress and Rahul Gandhi, accusing them of pushing the country towards violence. You should do politics by winning the trust of countrymen and not by issuing threats and violence, said BJP RS MP Brij Lal.

Armed gang loots gold worth Rs 3-4 crore, cash from UCO Bank in Jharkhand's Giridih
Digital Desk | Giridih (Jharkhand), Nov 5 (IANS) In a major daylight robbery, five armed men stormed into a UCO Bank branch in Rajdhanwar area of Jharkhand's Giridih district and decamped with gold worth an estimated Rs 3-4 crore and around Rs 8-10 lakh in cash, police said on Thursday. The daring heist took place barely 100 metres from the local police station, sending shockwaves across the area and raising serious concerns over security arrangements. According to branch manager Rahul Kumar Gaur, the incident occurred around 1.40 p.m. when five armed men entered the bank. One of them, wearing a helmet, remained at the main entrance keeping watch, while four masked accomplices barged inside and held bank employees and customers at gunpoint. The robbers forced the manager and staff to sit outside the vault, tied their hands behind their backs, and sealed their mouths with adhesive tape. They then compelled the manager to hand over the vault keys and open the strong room. At the time, two customers were present inside the bank, while two more entered during the robbery. The criminals overpowered and restrained them as well. After gaining access to the vault, the gang made away with gold ornaments pledged by customers, estimated to be worth about Rs 3 crore to Rs 4 crore, along with cash amounting to Rs 8-10 lakh. Bank officials said the exact value of the stolen assets is still being assessed. Before fleeing, the robbers damaged and took away the DVR unit connected to the bank's CCTV surveillance system in an attempt to destroy digital evidence. The entire operation was executed within about 20 minutes. Police teams rushed to the spot after being alerted by bank authorities and have launched an investigation. Search operations are underway to identify and apprehend the accused. Investigators are also questioning bank employees and eyewitnesses to reconstruct the sequence of events. The sensational robbery, carried out in broad daylight and close to a police station, has triggered public concern and put the spotlight on local law-and-order arrangements.

12-year-old girl's headless body found in Jharkhand's Godda
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Nov 5 (IANS) In a chilling incident, a 12-year-old girl was brutally murdered in Jharkhand's Godda district after her throat was slit and her head severed, officials said on Thursday. A wave of shock swept through the area on Thursday morning after her headless body was discovered in a field in Dahua village, under the jurisdiction of the Lalamatia police station. As information about the incident spread, a crowd of villagers gathered at the scene. Upon receiving the information, the police arrived and recovered the girl's torso, though her severed head has yet to be found, officials said. According to villagers, the crime was committed late Wednesday night. Like any other night, the girl had been sleeping at home with her parents. However, when the family woke up in the morning and found her missing from her bed, they began searching for her. Shortly thereafter, they received word that her body had been discovered in a field in the village. The family remains baffled as to when, how, or under what suspicious circumstances the girl left, or was taken from, the house in the middle of the night. Recognising the gravity of the situation, the Lalamatia police arrived promptly with a team. They immediately cordoned off the area and began collecting forensic evidence. The gruesome nature of the murder has sparked concern among the villagers. Locals have suggested that the brutal killing might be linked to occult practices, human sacrifice, or some form of superstition. The police, however, state that the actual motive behind the murder remains unclear. They are conducting a thorough investigation, exploring all possible angles, including technical analysis, forensic examination, and potential personal or family vendettas. Following this harrowing incident, an atmosphere of intense panic, fear, and outrage prevails in Dahua village and the entire surrounding area. The enraged villagers have demanded that the police administration arrest those involved in this crime as soon as possible. Investigation is underway, and further details are awaited.

All revenue courts in J&K now computerised
Srinagar, Nov 04: Making a significant stride under the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP), Jammu and Kashmir has achieved 100 per cent completion with 882 Computerised/Online Revenue Courts, while the computerisation of Records of Rights (RoR) has reached 99.93 per cent. According to the DILRMP MIS 4.0 dashboard, the Physical Components Progress Report for Jammu and Kashmir revealed that digitisation of Mapsheets/FMBs/Tippans has reached 94.74 per cent, indicating substantial progress in the modernisation and digitisation of land records across the Union Territory. However, the report reveals that three important components MRR Completed (Out of Sanctioned), Survey/Resurvey Completed and Aadhaar Linked With RoR have recorded zero progress. The national comparison chart on Computerisation of Land Records (CLR) shows that several states and Union Territories have achieved 100 per cent completion of villages, while Jammu and Kashmir is placed at 70.54 per cent. The chart also shows Mizoram at 71.27 per cent, Nagaland at 62.54 per cent, Ladakh at 52.21 per cent and Delhi at 27.31 per cent. Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya have recorded zero percent completion. Among the states and Union Territories, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Bihar, Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Maharashtra, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal have achieved 100 per cent completion. Odisha has recorded 99.91 per cent, Karnataka 99.74 per cent, Chhattisgarh 99.36 per cent, Punjab 99.36 per cent, Jharkhand 96.36 per cent, Rajasthan 92.40 per cent, Telangana 83.25 per cent and Uttarakhand 71.27 per cent. The component-wise figures for Jammu and Kashmir indicate that while computerisation of revenue courts and digitisation of existing land records have reached advanced stages, survey and resurvey, completion of MRR and Aadhaar linking with Records of Rights remain pending. The Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP), a Central Sector Scheme funded 100 per cent by the central government, aims to modernise the country's land records system through computerisation of land records, digitisation of maps, survey and resurvey activities and integration of land-related information.
