  • Police officer serves legal notice on Bihar minister

    NAT11National/Law/PoliticsPolice officer serves legal notice on Bihar ministerPatna, Oct 31 IANS A senior Indian Police Service IPS officer who was at the receiving end of a Bihar minister's wrath has served a legal notice on the politician, warning that a defamation suit would be filed if an apology was not forthcoming.Urban Development and Housing Minister Bhola Singh was served the notice early this week for allegedly humiliating and insulting Paresh Saxena, then posted as the superintendent of police of Gaya, 100 km from here, at a function in the city last month.Saxena's lawyer Ritesh Kumar said the legal notice was served on Singh and state chief secretary R.J.M. Pillai under Section 80 of the Code of Civil Procedure that mandates a 60-day period before filing a defamation suit against a government official or agency. According to the notice, Singh "badly insulted and demoralised" the officer by using "offending, libelous and defamatory" language at a function for not presenting a bouquet to the minister. The notice quoted the minister as saying "Shasan hum karte hain, adhikari nahi We rule, not officials".Hurt by minister's remarks, Saxena sought state police chief D.N. Gautam's permission to file a defamation suit. Not only was this denied, but Saxena was transferred to the police headquarters here in what is considered a punishment posting.Saxena, a 1994-batch IPS officer of the Bihar cadre, was Thursday awarded the Randhir Prasad Verma Samman at a function here. The award is named after another IPS officer who was killed by a criminal while resisting a bank robbery in 1991. "The award is conferred on a brave and dutiful officer every year," said R.K. Sinha, the president of the award committee.--Indo-Asian News Service ik/pb/vm/jg307 Words31101206

    NAT33 National/Law/Aviation Scribe seeks Rs.3 mn compensation from Delta Airlines Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 22 IANS A Kerala journalist has demanded a compensation of Rs.3 million from Delta Airlines over extra payment he was charged for baggage at a New York airport. In his petition to the District Consumer Protection Redressal Forum here, P. Sreekumar, bureau chief of Malayalam newspaper Janmabhoomi, demanded the compensation for the mental torture and agony he said he suffered from this episode during a trip he took to the US last June with his wife and a colleague. When they arrived at the New York airport June 21 with tickets for Houston, they were told they could take only one checked-in baggage each and asked to pay $210 for the other three pieces they had brought from India. Sreekumar told IANS that they had every right to carry the luggage without any payment because their ticket clearly stated they could each take two pieces of checked-in baggage. "We were harassed at the airport by the officials of the airline and they were adamant that if we wished to proceed with the luggage, we have to pay the charges," said Sreekumar. "We had no extra money with us. But luckily we had with us a credit card and used that." "We have sought a compensation of Rs.1 million each, plus the US $210 which they charged," he said. The three went to the US for a function of the Federation of Kerala Association of North America. "I have been to the US on five occasions to take part in their meetings and I never had to undergo such an ordeal. We sent legal notices to the officials concerned of the airline in Mumbai. "But even though they received our notice, they did not reply and hence we have approached the court here," said Sreekumar, whose petition has been accepted by the court. --Indo-Asian News Service sg/rd/dg 334 Words 22101427

  • Ex-ISI chief Hamid Gul says Benazir implicated him in Karachi blasts on US' direction

    Islamabad, Oct 18 ANI: Former ISI chief Hameed Gul has revealed that former prime minister Benazir Bhutto had named him in the October 18, 2007, Karachi blasts - better known as Karsaz bridge carnage - on the US' directions, and that she had conveyed this to him through three different intermediaries after he had served a legal notice on her immediately after the allegation was made last year.He said he would not shy away from any probe into the case and also his involvement."I can provide evidence with regard to communication with Ms. Bhutto. I have no plan to seek pre-arrest bail as I am willing to join any probe. The investigators are not required to arrest me since I am available for questioning." "Why has the government not moved against Pervez Musharraf who was named by late Ms. Bhutto in her last message to Mark Siegel for planning to assassinate her Is it because Musharraf is America's blue-eyed boy" The News quoted him as saying in Islamabad yesterday.Gul said that naming him in the case was yet another ridiculous action of the administration. "Perhaps they would get some additional dollars from the US on this 'achievement' but the question remained who benefited from this horrendous act," he said. He reiterated that he would not escape the country or go underground on account of the registration of the case. Meanwhile, former IB chief Syed Ejaz Shah, who has also been named in the fresh FIR by the PPP, is still in Pakistan contrary to reports that he had left the country for to settle in Australia. He is said to be currently staying in Lahore. ANI
