Ahmedabad:  The Gujarat High Court has rejected the writ petition of senior IPS officer Rahul Sharma who had moved court asking why documents were not been given to him which could help him build his defence in replying to a showcause notice served to him by the Narendra Modi government in connection with the Gujarat riots.

The state government has charged Mr Sharma with giving call record details related to the 2002 post-Godhra riots to the Nanavati Commission without informing the government.

Mr Sharma was served a showcause notice in February this year and sources have told NDTV that the state government could soon file a chargesheet against him.

Mr Sharma had sought information under the Right to Information (RTI) to reply to the showcause notice.

Phone records collected by Mr Sharma between February 27 and March 4, 2002, purportedly show that during the riots in Gujarat after the burning of the Sabarmati Express in Godhra on February 27, 2002, rioters on the streets were in touch with policemen and politicians. The government has alleged that some of these records are inaccurate and that a CD given by Mr Sharma to the probe panel is doctored.

Mr Sharma is currently posted as Deputy Inspector General (DIG), armed units, in Rajkot. He was the Deputy Commissioner of Police in the Control Room at the time of the riots. In February this year, he was served the showcause notice detailing the charges against him and asking why he should not be chargesheeted.

Mr Sharma's case has sparked off more political sparring. "The BJP government in Gujarat is stifling all opinion which goes against them," Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Ambika Soni, said.

PTI / The Hindu / CHENNAI, July 22, 2011.

Dubbing the detention of a number of party men in land grabbing cases as ‘totally unwarranted and uncalled for’, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam on Friday sought Tamil Nadu Governor S.S. Barnala’s intervention to stop the police action.

A delegation of the party’s advocates wing called on the Governor and handed over a memorandum in this regard.

The delegation alleged while a Minister in Jayalalithaa’s Cabinet, Agri Krishnamurthy, had been left to go scot-free despite ‘documentary evidence’ of land grabbing against him, DMK men in ‘legal possession’ of land were arrested.

New Delhi:  Former Central Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) PJ Thomas has appealed to President Pratibha Patil to wait for the outcome of his plea in court before the new CVC is appointed. In March this year, the Supreme Court declared that appointment of Thomas as India's CVC was invalid. 

Yesterday, Thomas filed a writ petition in Delhi High Court saying new the CVC should be appointed only after a decision is taken on his March application.

"The SC judgement was delivered by a three-judge bench whereas it should have been a five-judge bench. Then the legality and validity of this judgement itself is disputed," Will Mathews, Counsel for PJ Thomas, told NDTV. He added that the new CVC should be appointed "only when the legality and validity of this judgement is verified."

Decent and Dignified people know when to get off and on!

City police are all set to challenge the lower court order absolving the Kannada actress Maria Susairaj and ex-Navy officer Jerome of murder and conspiracy charge in the murder case of TV executive Neeraj Grover.

A Sessions Court had on July 1 absolved Maria and her boyfriend Emile Jerome of murder and criminal conspiracy charges after holding them guilty of lesser offences.

"We will soon move the High court challenging the lower court's order. The accused had pre-planned the murder. They should be charged with murder and criminal conspiracy," said Additional Police Commissioner (Crime) Deven Bharti.

Jerome was convicted on the charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder under section 304 (part I) IPC which attracts life term in jail or imprisonment up to ten years.

Both he and Maria were also found guilty of trying to destroy evidence under section 201 IPC which provides for a maximum three years in jail.

Anti-Corruption Movement: Ramdev sticks to his ‘satyagraha’ plan!

Have you read my Novella, “Mayhem of the Miserables!” available @ http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52075

New Delhi: Rejecting Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s appeal to call of his proposed fast unto death against corruption, Yoga guru turned satyagrahi Baba Ramdev, Wednesday, said that he will go ahead with his hunger strike from June 4 at the famous Ramlila Maidan in the national capital. 

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had written to Ramdev "welcoming his constructive suggestions to improve governance" and promised him to find a "practical and pragmatic" solution to tackle the issue of corruption.

But Ramdev is not convinced. He wants specific laws that can tackle the menace of corruption and black money. 

Since this is a 'Satyagraha' to force the, otherwise, dodgy government to bring back Lakhs of crores of sleaze money parked abroad, by the India's corrupt politicos, bureaucrats, corporates, businessmen, industrialists, celebrities, et al, civil society will support you.


Still most of us oppose your statement, after meeting Pranab Mukherjee, Yesterday, exempting the office of PM under the ambit of Lok Pal.
