OPINIONS Like veggies, should the govt open fruit outlets to control prices during festivals?

Parveen Qureshi Homemaker Yes. It will be a good move from the state government if they open such fruits outlets during festive season, since the vendors hike prices every now and then.

Afzal Hussain PR Executive Yes. Fruit vendors are harassing the commoners. They constantly resort to hike prices of their wares during festive season. They know that we are compelled to buy fruits during Ramzan Ganapati

Saurabh Vaktania Journalist Yes. If the state government takes the initiative to open such outlets then the beneficiary will be the common man.

Since fruit vendors have more than doubled the prices this festive season.

aharashtra received a special note during a National Tourism Ministers’ Conference for developing infrastructure and growth from K. Chiranjeevi, Union Minister for Tourism in Delhi on Thursday. The conference was held to discuss future strategies for realising the full tourism potential of the country.

Presenting the state’s commitment to the tourism sector, Chhagan Bhujbal, state minister for tourism, invited the South Indian superstar to inaugurate the state-of-the-art Visitors Information Centre at Ajanta and Ellora which is scheduled to be opened in September this year.

The safety of tourists was one of the major issues discussed at the conference and Bhujbal said, “Maharashtra has already been declared the safest state, and Mumbai is the safest city in the country.

Tourism police were trained and deployed by state nearly eight years back at important tourist centres and monuments. Even so, the Mumbai police has always tried innovative ways through PPP model to handle tourists.”

“We appreciate the work of Maharashtra towards development of infrastructure. I have been discussing plans with the Surface Transport Ministry for the development of wayside amenities like toilets, refreshments, and similar infrastructure to boost tourism,” Chiranjeevi said.

The Conference deliberated on various agenda items, which included the safety and security of tourists, Campaign Clean India to improve cleanliness at important tourist destinations, rationalisation of taxes to make Indian tourism

The last telegram

IT is one of those things we kept intending to do – send a telegram to ourselves or get someone to do so, just so we had some evidence that this form of communication ever existed. We never did.

So we were delighted indeed to be the the recipient of not one but two telegrams, sent out on July 14, the very last day before the Indian ‘taar’ winked into oblivion. One was from Vijay Jain, CEO of Orra, the other from friend Margaret, intriguingly without the surname.

Thank you sir, and madam!

Amusingly, one arrived on July 16, the other on July 17, but of course we have no intention of complaining about the delay – there were thousands of others with exactly the same idea and July 14 was an enormously busy day for the Central telegraph office.

We particularly liked Margaret’s, because it was quintessentially the Indian telegram, punctuation all

To be sent to you. are. part of history”. Of course, it must be read “One of the last telegrams to be sent. You are part of history”. And who can object to an extra generous helping of fullstops!

In addition, we received a poem on the subject from Mr. V.S. Venkatavaradan. It is titled The last telegram and we are reproducing it for our readers.

“The essential thing is that there must be an end.

Telegram, an essential thing of the past, is coming to an end.

Party with a difference

Definitely one of our favourites, transgender rep, activist, actor, performer, Lakshmi Narayan Tripathi at a recent party to felicitate her on being such a high achiever.

THE guest of honour, we are told, looked ‘stunning in a black story’, and we were inclined to dismiss the whole thing as just the usual spiel from PR people, till we realized it was Lakshmi Narayan Tripathi, transgender queen, participant in Bigg Boss, winner of national awards for her services to the LGBT community in the legal sphere and the Dadasaheb Phalke award for Queens!

Destiny of Dance. Plus there is all the other work including representing Asia and the South Pacific at the UN, activism and social work.

The party was thrown by socialite Jaya Jagiasi who described it as “a celebration of liberty.”

There were plenty of people present – ministers, activists, admirers, but Lakhsmi, always rather a favourite with us, stole the show we thought. “The award is a motivation, I’ll continue doing work that makes people of our community stand upright and face challenges,” she declared. No one has done it better than she.

It was a day of fun and festivities at the Kamla Mehta Blind School in Dadar (East), where children celebrated Ashadhi Ekadashi on Thursday with pomp and circumstance. All the children in the school are either completely blind or have residual vision.

telegrams, happy and not that happy.

During the wedding there were lots and lots of greetings -- eight and eighteen A girlfriend has sent, “Many Happy returns of the day” Does she want me to get married again and again?

Telegrams, on arrival, equalized the rich and the poor By inducing the three mind parasites — anxiety, fear and worry all combined.

The dynamics and the destiny of two World Wars were decided by telegrams.

Brevity is the soul of telegram as it is with wisdom Let me be brief as in a telegram and send this last telegram: “THE TELEGRAMS WILL BE NO MORE NEVER ENDING WILL BE THE MEMORIES THEY BROUGHT HOME.”

SUDDENLY, this piece titled The Indian Elections written by one V. Mitchell for The New York Times,

purportedly very recently (July 4) is making the rounds on email. All very flattering we thought, given the current scenario in the country which is generally doom and gloom.

“It is truly the greatest show on Earth, an ode to a diverse and democratic ethos, where 700 million+ of humanity vote, providing their small part in directing their ancient civilization into the future.

It is no less impressive when done in a neighborhood which includes de-stabilizing and violent Pakistan, China, and Burma.

“Its challenges are immense, more so probably than anywhere else, particularly in development and fending off terrorism — but considering these challenges and its neighbors, it is even more astounding that the most diverse nation on Earth, with hundreds of languages, all religions and cultures, is not only surviving, but thriving.

“The nation where Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism were born, which is the second largest Muslim nation on Earth; where Christianity has existed for 2000 years; where the oldest

There’s more, but because we were enraged, we stopped reading and then googled the piece – and discovered our suspicions were correct. It was a piece carried in the NYT four years ago!, before another election, another set of expectations just waiting to be trashed.

The last couple of lines read, “Where all of this is happening, is India, and as greater than 1/10th of humanity gets ready to vote, it is an inspiration to the entire World.”

Uses Pay Order of Rs 900 to withdraw Rs 5.70 lakh

By Zuber Ansari

A

45-year-old man exposed serious flaws in the banking system when he managed to withdraw Rs.5,70,000 from a bank by using a Pay Order slip of just Rs.900.

The bank manager and staff of the city-based Kunavi Sahakari Sanstha Bank, with its branch in Kandivli’s Ashok Nagar, were shocked when they came to know that an amount of Rs.5,70,000 had been paid from their account into that of Pune branch of the Karur Vysya Bank. Around two days ago, they received a cheque for Rs.5,70,000 from Pune branch of the Karur Vysya Bank seeking payment of the amount.

When bank manager Atmaram Kamble and other bank officials cross-checked the initial numbers of the

Elusive: Mahesh Chundarkar cheque which Pune branch of Karur Vysya Bank had sent to them, they discovered that they had made a Pay Order slip of only Rs.900 in the name of one Mahesh Vasudev Chundarkar few month back

ago, and no pay order was ever made for Rs.5,70,000.

There was further shock coupled with embarrassment for for Kunavi Bank officials when they learned that the person who withdrew the amount in Pune was having an account with them based on bogus documents. When staff reached the address given to the bank, neighbors said there was never any Mahesh Chundarkar residing there.

Senior Police Inspector from Samta Nagar police station, Pravin Mane, said, “We have registered a cheating and forgery case against one Mahesh Vasudev Chundarkar. This is not first complaint we have received. A similar fraud was done by this person earlier also with around three to four banks. A manhunt has been launched to trace him.”

Dinesh Deshmukh (31) and Murad Gobani (31), along with a 21-year-old female accomplice, lured two young girls on the pretext of offering them lucrative jobs, but went on to rob them after giving them drinks laced with sedatives. The Thane (rural) police were on the lookout for the gang, which had executed similar crimes in Manor, Palghar, Satpati, Virar, Gholvad and Dahanu.

They would lure victims by pasting posters with their mobile contact numbers at public places. It was only after a female cop from Manor police station laid a

Depressed woman commits suicide 18-year-old raped in Dombivli

By Zuber Ansari

A

58-year-old woman suffering from health related problems was found hanging from a ceiling fan inside her residence at Kalakunj Society in Charkop early morning on Friday.

The woman, identified as Luis George Swami, was found hanging from a fan by her 17-year-old son when he came back from his school.

The son immediately called the police control room and neighbours.

According to Police Sub Inspector from Charkop Police station, G. Bhosle, “Luis hanged herself by her chunni. She was quite depressed since after the death of her husband, who passed away around eight years ago.”

“After her husband’s death, her brother-in-law

provided money for the family’s daily needs. However, Luis had detached from the outside world and had even stopped talking to her son as well as other members of the family,” said Bhosle.

“On the basis of information we had registered the Accidental Death Report (ADR) and her body have been sent to Bhagwati Hospital for autopsy,” Bhosle added.

n Thursday night an 18year-old computer class teacher was raped by some unidentified accused for over two hours in Dombivli’s Pisavali area. The police have started a hunt for the accused.

The teacher was returning home from her coaching class in Pisavali village in Dombivli East and was passing through a deserted area which falls on

her way to home at around 9.30 p.m. when someone hidden in the bushes dragged her inside. The assailant raped her for over two hours before letting her go. The assailant warned the girl that she would face dire consequences if she told anyone of the incident.

However, the girl told her parents of her ordeal. The family immediately lodged a case of rape with Manpada police station against un-

known accused. Since the attack took place in the dark, the girl was unable to positively identify the attacker.

There have been demands from both public and police officials in Dombivli to put up street lights during the night but as yet no action has been taken up by the civic authorities in Dombivli. An official from Manpada police station said, “We have started a manhunt for the accused.”

Activists criticised the government and demanded that the HIV/AIDS Bill be tabled in the parliament’s monsoon session

After being finalised in July 2006, the Bill was sent to the Law Ministry in August 2007.

After the Bill got clearance in 2010 from the Law Ministry and it was sent back to the Health Ministry, it has just been moving between the Health Ministry and the Law Ministry and has not been tabled in the Parliament.

Members of the Mumbai AIDS Forum holding a rally at Dadar demanding the tabling of HIV/AIDS bill in the upcoming Monsoon Session of Parliament, on Friday.

The Bill is important as it provides legal redress against discrimination in both public and private sector. It also provides for complete HIV treatment for everyone who needs it.

“The Bill puts an obligation on the state to provide antiretroviral medicines (ARVs) including first line, second

line and third line medicines, diagnostics, treatment for opportunistic infections and nutritional supplements to every HIV positive person, free of cost. It’s disappointing that such an important legislation is lingering between the two ministries of the government and has not been brought to the Parliament,”

ADC scribe interacts with Mira Road school students

“H

The students were eager to know about journalism as a career, about the media’s role in society, as well as the ethics and problems faced by reporters while working.

Heavy rains forces Mahagenco to shut down Chandrapur thermal power plant

said Anil Kadam from Sanjeevani.

Ashok Row Kavi from Hamsafar trust said, “The lukewarm response of the government towards this Bill is totally unacceptable. We demand that the government table the Bill in Parliament in the upcoming monsoon session.”

he incessant heavy downpour overnight has forced Maharashtra Generation Company (Mahagenco) to shut down its Chandrapur thermal power plant.

The move has been necessitated as the flood waters have breached the thermal power plant complex forcing the company to shut down the generating units. In a statement issued here yesterday stated that although the natural disaster has affected the power generation all out efforts are being made on war footing to rectify the damage caused.

The heavy downpour is also causing problems in supply of coal to units one and two of the thermal power plant. The engineers and support staff are trying their level best to keep the two generating units in operation. With another major thermal power plant at Parli in Marathwada region being shut for want of water, the thermal power generation of Mahagenco has taken a hit. The company argues that during the monsoon

season there is less demand for power and most of the required power is generated from Hydro, Nuclear and other sources.

The natural disaster comes against the backdrop of the BJP-Shiv Sena opposition in the legislative council alleging corruption that not a single MW of power has been added despite Mahagenco investing heavily in expansion of power projects. A charge denied by Deputy Chief Minister and Energy minister Ajit Pawar who counter challenged the opposition in accepting a probe.

In a statement issued here yesterday Mahagenco stated that flood waters gushed into the Chandrapur thermal power plant, the generating units had to be shut.

The vicinity of the thermal power plant witnessed 268 mm rainfall which is above the average rainfall during this time of the monsoon season. The statement adds that during monsoon season the generating units at the thermal power plants are taken out for overhauling purposes. As part of the exercise two units of 210 MWs and 500 MWs are being overhauled.

“Politics are very much like war. We may even have to use poison gas at times.”

Make mid-meal T clean and safe I

T has become clear that the midday meal scheme — the biggest, even anywhere in the world, has not produced the desired results. The scheme was launched with good intentions: It was to attract kids to school and avoid drop-outs. It was a God-sent scheme for poor parents.

There have been complaints with regard to, not only bad and dangerous meals, but also about tasteless and dirty food.

Across the country, there have been complaints about this, but the authorities have done precious little to give the kids wholesome, tasty and clean food. Maybe the authorities think that the poor have no right to complain.

The worst ever mid-day meal tragedy occurred in Bihar, but during the same time there have been reports of contamination of meals.

Cooking is done in most unhygienic places and sub-standard substances are used.

In Tamil Nadu, over 100 kids felt giddy after eating their mid-day meal: They had to be hospitalised. In Uttar Pradesh in one school, a lizard was found in the cooked food.

Parents are naturally worried.

In Bihar, after the gruesome incident, parents are saying that they do not want to send kids to school. The very purpose of attracting children to schools will be defeated if eating a mid-day meal results in death of the kids.

HE guilty ones have been identified: Suresh Kalmadi against whom there were charges of corrupt practices — involving crores of rupees — has spent 7 months in jail; A. Raja and Kanimozi, said to be involved in the 2G scam, have been guests for months in Tihar jail. In the Coalgate scam, hundreds of coal blocks have been given away without auction — to private parties.

Who collected the huge bribes in the Coalgate scam? Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was in charge of the coal ministry then.

Sushma Swaraj, leader of the opposition in parliament wanted to know where the ‘motamaal’ collected in the coal blocks sale to private parties has gone. Suresh Kalmadi involved in the Commonwealth games says he is innocent and that he has not pocketed a single rupee, but there have been offers of huge bribes in several contracts, irregular billings, etc. Where has the money gone? It is certain that the money has been collected by some persons or parties. Sushma Swaraj has hinted that the money from the coalgate might have gone to some political party.

All political parties collect funds. They want money for day-to-day expenditure incurred by the party and mainly, for poll campaigns. A candidate cannot win an election without spending huge funds. By hook or by crook, a political party has to collect money — crores of rupees.

Congress spokesman declared that Modi was against Muslims and he had referred to a Muslim as a dog.

Clearly it had misinterpreted what Modi had said. And that was a deliberate exercise.

All through the poll campaign in Gujarat and later when he promoted himself as the future prime minister, Modi had said he set store by governance and growth. That, he said, would be BJP’s ideology. He never said even one word about Hindutwa. Evidently he wanted to totally avoid any communal reference with regard to the policy of BJP. Modi is not an idiot. He has cleverly avoided the communal issue. It is clear that puppy story had nothing to do with Muslims in the country. Would Modi raised this communal issue if all the while he chose to set BJP’s ideology as growth and governance? Is the Congress suggesting Modi is trying to commit political suicide?

It is clear the Congress is trying to invent charges against Modi in order to create a bad image. The Congress is seizing every possible opportunity to dent the image of Modi. Another remark by Modi also gave a chance for A.R. Kanangi the Congress to attack him. He said he is a Hindu nationalist. Congress response: It is a communal remark. Nobody should be Hindu funds collected from donations.

I hope the people of India, by and large appreciate my view point.

Scrap the evil midday meal scheme IT is indeed a sad state of affairs in India that the food served in the midday meal scheme does carry poison resulting in death of 27 children. It may be a stray case but the food given to children is of poor quality without any checking for taste or purity before they are served. At times when food grains shortage is there, they simply avoid serving food also. At a time when tons of wheat is rotting in the godowns of Food Corporation of India for want of space, we show disparity to children. Several states are ill-equipped to serve children hygienic meals that are also nutritious and health for the growth of the children. In Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, corruption occupies top spot and so no one is ready to check the quality of the midday meals. Is this food security? And no politician can answer this question. It is a sorry state of affairs and the Centre should do something to block this

WITH reports coming from all over the country of children falling ill after eating the midday meals in their schools—-over 100 children fell sick in a school in Neyveli, the Lignite town in Tamil Nadu—it is abundantly clear that this scheme is in fact an unwanted baby, thrust on the schools for taking care of. Strictly speaking, the schools are not expected to provide meals to the children and their only job is to conduct the classes properly with qualified teachers. For implementing the midday meal scheme, the schools have to arrange for separate kitchens, cooks and proper rooms to store the provisions. That’s unwanted added responsibility for the

AAM aadmi suffers because of the price increase of diesel. To take a safe course, Congress will request states run by the Opposition to cut levies to ease the blow for aam aadmi. Transport associations are worried as do political parties and Opposition Chief Ministers. LPG price touched a new high and an increase will touch almost Rs.500 per cylinder. A sharp rise in freight rates seems imminent and some experts went on to say the actual weighted impact should not be more than four per cent and that truckers were being more opportunistic. Inflation level will go up automatically and food inflation may touch double figures and Mumbaikars feel the pinch more as the cost of living in the metro is more than any other place in the country. The aam admi suffers invariably.

Telegraphic death!

AS we bid good-bye to telegram, the unique way of sending messages/greetings to the dear and near ones, nostalgia overcomes me!

Indeed, the Morse Code (originally Morse letters): takka taretakka tare/ tare takka tore tore/ takka takka takka’, etc. would bemuse us in our childhood. Indeed, to hear the somewhat scintillating sound, we children, during recess time used to run to the railway station near our school and would jostle outside the Station Master’s cabin. Later on, I joined the Army Signal Corps by which time the sound had been electro-magnetically changed into: ‘dah dit dahdah/ dit dit dah’, etc. Such a style of writing is especially needed for the military so that communication becomes brief. The practice is generally followed now also while drafting many a letter in telegraphic language.

Let the bar dancers dance!

SUPREME Court verdict is the gift to hundreds of dancers in Mumbai

who may now be able to practice their livelihood which they were forced to stop when Maharashtra govt. cracked down on the numerous dance bars. The court upheld a previous order of the Bombay High Court rightly, throwing out a 2005 state ordinance to shut down dance bars. The SC judgement is a slap on the face of state home minister R.R. Patil for his adamant order. A selfappointed guardian of the public morals was a total failure and was responsible for the 26/11 terror attacks due to lax surveillance.

The State must now allow dance bars to reopen and earn revenue from them. State should also understand that entertainment is a part and parcel of life in Mumbai and crushing this in the name of an imaginary anti-sleaze campaign is to go against the city’s very affable nature.

Regional political parties trying to exploit big fish’s loss of credibility People vs Rulers - III R ECENT court pronouncements are virtually nullifying progressive measures such as reservations in promotions. The social contract envisaged in the Constitution is coming under stress. A decisive break from the policy of reforms and a move towards a new paradigm of people-centric development based on social solidarity will provide a conducive environment to relieve this stress.

But it must be recognised that no struggle for transformation of our society and polity will be meaningful unless it adopts the annihilation of caste and caste injustice as a goal in itself. The situations of deep alienation and seething discontent have been exploited by the ruling classes to strengthen their armoury of black laws and anti-democratic measures to intimidate and suppress all democratic dissent which is an inevitable consequence of the economic, political and diplomatic policies pursued by the ruling classes. The space for democratic dissent is being circumscribed and narrowed. Police apparatus is

PERSPECTIVE S.P. Shukla being used to suppress the rising political challenge to the establishment. The people are being denied the only means of protest that they have against the injustices

of the prevailing economic, political and social order.

The current political scene is marked by loss of credibility on the part of the ruling combine of political parties as well as the opposition. The regional political outfits are trying to exploit the situation to their advantage.

Barring the parties of the Left, whose parliamentary strength has been reduced considerably, none of the regional parties have any alternative political vision. Therefore, even if they benefit because of the weakening of the main political combines and thus succeed in acquiring greater share of power after the upcoming General Elections, little can be expected from them. On the other hand, unstable and opportunist combinations may only strengthen the prospect of the main combines after disillusionment with such experiment. That would only give a further lease of life to the ruling classes. However, with the rising discontent among the popular classes, such dispensation cannot last

long. In the circumstances, there is a clear possibility that the ruling classes adopt more and more anti-democratic measures in the name of maintaining “law and order” and “stability” and prolong their hold on power.

The other possibility is that the discontent of the popular classes is organised politically on the basis of a clear alternative vision and programme rooted in peoples’ concerns, through a radical, inclusive and broad democratic political formation. Indeed, this is the only ultimately viable political strategy.

It is time that all parties, movements, groups and individuals who are in broad agreement with the forgoing analysis and are willing to adopt the political strategy get together to create such a political platform.

Party sources disclosed that following Advani expressing his reservations about Modi being given a free hand in poll matters, the Sangh top brass met leaders from both the camps with former party president Nitin Gadkari playing the mediatory role. It was at the meeting between Advani and Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat that the truce deal was brokered to restrain Modi.

Although, the Sangh has anointed Modi as BJPs campaign committee chief the decision has still not found acceptance within the BJP led NDA. Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray while praising the development of Gujarat evaded queries over Modi’s projection as the potential prime ministerial candidate.

The bone of contention for the Sena has been the Modi camp bestowing their leader with the title of Hindurhiday Samrat, which the Sena feels belongs to late Sena chief Bal Thackeray. Another point of contention between the two is the close ties its arch rival MNS chief Raj Thackeray has with Modi.

aries of the state to venture into the realms of the national capital. His father, the late Sena chief Bal Thackeray, stuck to his resolve and never left the state.

rawing an analogy of the mask controversy in the BJP, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray yesterday in an attempt to duck questions on the prime ministerial candidate from the BJP led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) remarked “We have many faces in our ranks. Rajnath Singh and I are together. We will give you a trustworthy face and government”. For the first time in the history of the Sena, Uddhav crossed the bound-

the most trustworthy face that the NDA had.

The Sena chief’s day-long high-powered visit to New Delhi yesterday, was aimed more at nurturing his desire to become the NDA convenor and sources state that the Sena has been sending out feelers to the BJP about it. According to BJP sources, the Sena president is keen on playing a larger role at the national level. Ever since the JD (U) severed ties with the BJP and Sharad Yadav quit the NDA, the post of convener has been vacant.

Anna Hazare somersaults Once again changes stance on BJP-Modi issue

By Suyash Padate

T

he social crusader Anna Hazare yesterday took a U-turn from his earlier stance and trained his guns on the BJP and the Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi while raising doubts about Modi’s capacity to lead the nation.

A couple of day ago the anti-corruption activist had

said that there was no evidence of Narendra Modi being communal. His statement virtually created a flutter across India especially in the social field. Against this backdrop, Anna preferred to clarify his stand about the BJP and Modi.

Anna made it clear that he had never praised the Gujarat Chief Minister. “I didn't say that Modi is not commu-

nal. I said I cannot say whether he is or not. I have not come across any evidence suggesting that Modi is a communal leader. What I said was misinterpreted. I want to make it clear that the whole agenda of BJP is communal”, he pointed out.

Putting a question mark on Modi’s candidature for the Prime Ministerial post, Anna said, “In the present

situation there is no credible PM candidate from any political party in our country.

But why talk of Modi or Rahul Gandhi? The fact is, as long as the Prime Minister is affiliated to a political party, the country won’t get the right leadership.” Anna also clarified that he will not support the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Admi Party (AAP) as it is also a political outfit.

NAND GANDHI’S film Ship of Theseus is an act of courage at a time when most filmmakers are just trying to make movies that fit into current popular trends. Perhaps some hope that success will allow them to make their own kind of films when they can, but that seldom happens once they enter the Bollywood quicksand.

FILM REVIEW Deepa Gahlot

with his idea and vision to make a film with uncompromising integrity without worrying about financial implications is what makes this one special. That Bollywood power centre appreciated and picked up the film for release is a happy off shoot of the director’s self-confidence.

There was every chance that the film would remain confined to the festival circuit, winning awards or accolades but languishing in the cans afterwards. Now audiences, at least in cities, will see the film if only to figure out why Kiran Rao is supporting it; chances are they might be moved by it, and tell their friends. Sleeper hits are made by word of mouth and perhaps genuinely positive reviews.

The title of the film is from a philosophical paradox that asks if a ship has all its parts replaced, does it remain the same ship. Gandhi tells the story of three people who are affected in different ways when they receive an organ donation. A blind photographer (Aida Elkashef), a Jain monk (Neeraj Kabi) and a stock brother Navin (Sohum Shah, also the producer) go through lifealtering experiences, as the audience is drawn completely into their dilemmas. The stories connect in a natural and somehow ennobling way, leaving the viewer emotionally stirred.

Written with feeling, directed with skill and beautifully shot, the film benefits enormously by having unknown faces in the cast. It allows the viewer to forget it’s fiction and believe in the characters.

If the audience also supports the film the way the producers and distributors have, then Gandhi’s work will be validated. But even without prosaic notions of box-office success, Ship Of Theseus is a hit.

Mission Impossible

HANSEL AND GRETEL — WITCH HUNTERS Rs. 599/Cast: Gemma Aterton, Jeremy Renner, Famke Janssen Written & Directed By: Tommy Wirkola

T

HE film is another attempt by studios to bring in classic fairytales, twist them a little and make them into action flicks with Snow White… and Red Riding Hood being recent attempts. In a similar vein is the familiar German Brothers Grimm fairytale Hansel & Gretel. With a clever plot, the film is loosely based on the children’s story, but this time there are no kids. They are instead replaced by siblings who are into adulthood and have a successful career in witch hunting, thereby making this version suitable for viewers over 15 years of age.

The story kicks off like the age old tale – a brother and sister are abandoned by their father in the woods, find a house made of candy and enter only to be captured and put in a cage by a witch who tries to fatten them up. The duo fights their way out and ultimately ends up throwing the witch into an oven. Years later, Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Aterton) who play the adult version of the story, try to trace their parents’ past and stumble on a heady dose of witches and magic.

Several children have disappeared from the village and the mayor is helpless. The citizens are eager to

execute supposed witches for the crime and Hansel and Gretel arrive just in time to save a good witch from being burnt alive by the Sheriff and the people.

The Mayor then takes charge and controls the crowd. He appoints Hansel and Gretel to destroy the witches, particularly Muriel (Famke Janssen) and bring back the children.

The task however, is not an easy one; the witch hunters take on the help of the good witch who has just enough magic to give the heroes a fighting chance. This action-thriller has loads of blood, decapitations, stabbings, shootings with guns and arrows, explosions and magic in almost every chapter of this 80 minute spectacle and the amazing 5. 1 surround sound only adds to the fun.

D

-Day is a wish-fulfilment fantasy for Indians. At many a party or coffee table discussion, the point about India not being able to send a team of covert operatives to deal with the ‘D Company’ problem comes up, particularly after the US got to the world’s most dreaded terrorist hiding out in Pakistan.

While so many filmmakers are busy glorifying gangsters, Nikhil Advani’s D-Day is about a small group of dedicated RAW agents, who put their lives at stake to nab Iqbal (Rishi Kapoor), a fictional don (obviously based on a real-life criminal mastermind) orchestrated ‘unofficially’ by their Chief, Ashwini (Nasser).

Hollywood does this sort of thing very well, peppering their films with great action, and unencumbered by the need for romance, music or heightened drama. The premise of D-Day is fabulous, and if Advani could trim the fat, it would have been a great entertainer. Even with its maze-like plotting and needless digressions, it is a fairly absorbing film, with a final burst of jingo-ism.

Wali Khan (Irrfan) lives with his wife (Shriswara) and son in Karachi, an undercover agent for nine years, hoping for one lead that will make his existence worthwhile. When he

gets news of the wedding of Iqbal’s son at a Karachi hotel, he kicks into motion the plan to catch the don and take him to India. Joining the team are other covert operatives, Rudra (Arjun Rampal), Zoya (Huma Qureshi) and Aslam (Akash Dahiya).

Their attempt fails; the Indian government professes ignorance of the plan and leaves the four to fend

POOR

for themselves. A brisk, fast-paced, no-nonsense film might have worked better, but Advani meanders off into Rudra’s passion for a prostitute (Shruti Hassan), Wali’s concern for his family and Huma’s marriage breaking down.

On the plus side, the four are not robots, the emotional conflicts in their lives are part of their personal-

ities, making their thankless sacrifice even more poignant. The complicated political ramifications of the operation slow down the pace.

That the RAW team actually wants to bring Iqbal to India to face trial, might seem a bit too idealistic (or faintly ridiculous), knowing our legal system, which their prey is only too familiar with and talks about with contempt.

Rishi Kapoor plays the character with flamboyance, his speech peppered with Marathi, and brings such menace into his bearing, that he dwarfs everyone else in the frame. Irrfan has the tougher part,

AVERAGE GOOD VERY GOOD EXCELLENT

since his Wali Khan has the most to lose, Arjun Rampal gets to play the stone-faced fauji, and Huma Qureshi the femme fatale, and they do well.

The look of the film is dark and realistic, the action gritty, even if there are some curious slips like Iqbal’s nephew being allowed to attack the prostitute for sheltering Rudra, with Pakistan’s army general standing around, and an absence of any police action, or tracing of cell phones, even though a hotel is blown up and innocents killed. Still, it has enough merit to warrant a visit to the cinemas.

LEGAL

Force to protect property only as much as necessary

MUMBAI | SATURDAY, JULY 20, 2013

EXPERT SPEAK Gajanan Khergamker

is a media-legal consultant on Housing, Intellectual Property, Medico-legal, RTI and Consumer Law issues

WHETHER DEVPT AGREEMENT NEEDS REGISTRATION BY LAW A DEVELOPMENT Agreement is essentially creating a charge and interest of the developer in the immoveable property of the owner. As per section 17(1) of the Registration Act, 1908, compulsory registration is provided of instruments/documents “which purport or operate to create, declare, assign, limit or extinguish, whether in present or in future, any rights, title or interest, whether vested or contingent, of the value of the one hundred rupees and upwards, to or in immovable property,” A development Agreement would surely be covered within the ambit and domain of this statutory provision, However, as a general practice Development Agreements are normally not registered. In these types of agreements, generally the developers tend to have an upper-hand in the whole scenario because of the fact that he feels contents and confident with the actual physical possession of the land and actual control over the building being constructed thereupon.

Besides, legal and moral money remain an integral part of the whole deal.

Developer is most interested in concealing the real and actual consideration of the venture and is anxious to develop the land within a short period, make a quick buck and quit from the scene, leaving the owner of the land and the purchasers of the flats to sort-out between themselves all legal disputes which might crop up in due course of time.

But, such a scenario works out in favour of developer, only if the builder does not raise a dispute regarding the sharing of the built-up structure as per the Development Agreement.

Serious problems can arise if an unregistered Development Agreement becomes subjectmatter of a motion in court and the court finds it difficult to even admit the agreement in evidence for want of compulsory registration.

Likewise, there can arise difficulties relating to common area and amenities to be shared by the occupants of the building inter se, when they find that the core-document, they trust upon, in not admissible in evidence.

For settling disputes over those issues, it may at times become essential to refer to the Development Agreement and the legal procedures many wholly prohibit the same.

Therefore, it is highly recommended that the Development Agreement be duly registered for the satisfaction of all the parties concerned and in the interest of justice, reasonableness and fair-play.

In M Mookerjee v. District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum Consumer Forum impounded the initial agreement itself, between the promoter and the purchaser of the flat/consumer, on the ground that it was not properly stamped. The agreement was not registered tough it was compulsorily register-able under section 17 sub-section (1A) of the Registration Act. However, the Consumer Forum enforced the agreement and granted the relief sought i.e., directing the promoter to execute a conveyance of the flat, since practically for all reasonable purposes, possession of the property has already been delivered to the consumer pursuant to the impounded agreement for the sale intending to convey title to the property.

Queries may be mailed to gajanan@draftcraft.in

I understand that one can use force to protect one’s own property. However, nowhere is it mentioned about the quantum of force that can be used to protect possession/property. Also, how does one judge the conduct of the person who used the force?

— Malkan Desai By law, there is nothing fixed by statute to ascertain the quantum of force that can be used. But, as precedent bears testimony, the force could be to the extent of causing the death of the aggressor.

Nevertheless, the issue of force to be used is settled by law that the force used should not be more than what “is necessary”. Also, whether the force used is in excess or not is a question of fact that will be determined by the facts and circumstances of each individual case. There cannot be a generalised solution to the issue of force.

Allowances are made by law for the person’s feelings at that point of time which may be incidental to the force needed to protect the property from the aggressor. The law will take into consideration if he is faced with a real apprehension that the aggressor might cause death or grievous hurt or his property is faced with an element of danger. Such apprehensions inevitably create in his mind a sense of excitement and confusion.

It is understood that at the opportune moment, the one thought that would be foremost in his mind would be to ward off the imminent danger and save himself or his property. He would be most keen on doing anything possible in exercise of his right. Therefore, while dealing with the issue of whether more force is used than was necessary or justified by the prevailing circumstances, it would be inappropriate to adopt tests of detached objectivity that’s natural in a court room.

For instance, when the issue is examined long after the incident has occurred.

In a few judicial decisions, it has been observed the means a threatened person adopts or the force he used “should not be weighed in golden scales”. Also, whether the force used was more than necessary would be determined on the facts and circumstances of each and every individual case.

LEGAL QUERIES

Allowances are made by law for the person’s feelings at that point of time which may be incidental to the force needed to protect the property from the aggressor.

Society Act, on the death of a member, the society can transfer the interest to a nominee or an heir or a legal representative. In a recent High Court ruling, it was held that such a nominee does not become the only owner.

The nominee represents the legal heirs of the deceased member while dealing with the cooperative society and is only empowered to act on behalf of the real owners. This, however, is a temporary arrangement between the death of the member and till the court decides the legal heir who is entitled to the property or estate.

A member of a society can make a nomination which can be revoked at any One lady bought a flat along with her son time; on the death of a member, the sociand applied for membership of the ety transfers the shares to the nominee or Society in joint names.

‘Property’ as it appears in Section 405 of the Indian Penal Code cannot be confined to tangible movable property and is wide enough to include a debt.

Since a ‘debt’ is included within the expression ‘property’ as occurring in Section 405 IPC, that deals with the offence of criminal breach of trust, it would be difficult to accept the contention that though this kind of property is included in Section 405, no criminal breach of trust in respect thereof could at all take place.

Here and elsewhere, the word ‘property’ is used in a much wider sense than the otherwise limited ‘movable property’.

There is no reason to restrict the meaning of the word property to ‘movable property’ only when it is used without any qualification in Section 405 or in other sections of the IPC. Whether the offence, defined in a particular section of the IPC, may be committed in respect of any particular kind of property will not depend on the interpretation of the word ‘property’ but on whether that particular kind of property can be subject to the acts covered by that section. In this sense the word ‘property’ in a particular section covers only that Yes, a co-owner/joint owner can be a type of property with respect to which nominee too. As for your second query, What is the exact meaning of ‘Property’ the offence, contemplated in that secunder the Maharashtra Cooperative and does it include a debt? tion, can be committed.

JOINT OWNER IN SOCIETY CAN ALSO BE A NOMINEE

MEANING OF PROPERTY INCLUDES A ‘DEBT’

TetraVex is a challenging brain teaser. The object of the game is to fill the grid with the tiles so that the patterns on the adjacent edges of each tile match, much like aligning domino tiles. The object of the game is to place all the tiles in the grid so that the figures on the adjacent edges of each tile match. You can place any tile anywhere in the grid, but you cannot place a tile in the grid if its edges do not match all of its neighbors. Find a digit that occurs only once on a given puzzle. You know that this digit must lie along the outer edge of the grid, since there are no other tiles that can match it. You can simplify solving by cutting out the nine squares and juggling them in the grid.

22 SPORTS SPORTS MIN RECOMMENDS DHYAN CHAND FOR BHARAT RATNA

Afternoon Despatch & Courier www.afternoondc.in

MUMBAI | SATURDAY, JULY 20, 2013

N

A six-member delegation, led by Dhyan Chand's son Ashok Kumar, met Sports Minister Jitendra Singh on July 12. The delegations also included former India cricket captain Bishan Singh Bedi and Dhyan Chand's grandson Gaurav Singh.

"Irrespective of whether the award is given or not, it is an honour for our family that his name has been recommended by the Sports Minister for Bharat Ratna," Ashok Kumar said.

"The minister assured us that he would try his best to get Dhyan Chand's name considered for the honour. Since no other name has been recommended, so there is no conflict. We are hopeful he will get Bharat Ratna this year posthumously," he added.

EW DELHI: The clamour may have been for Sachin Tendulkar but the Sports Ministry has recommended hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand's name for India's highest civillian honour -the Bharat Ratna.

"The letter recommending Bharat Ratna for Dhyan Chand has already been sent to the Prime Minister," Sports Secretary P K Deb said.

"The Ministry has only recommended Dhyan Chand's name for the highest honour," he added.

The recommendation, sent to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, will be studied further before it goes for approval of President Pranab Mukherjee, for the hockey wizard to get the award posthumously.

SWANN FIVE-FOR GIVES ENGLAND THE EDGE

L

ONDON: England dismissed Australia for 128 in their first innings on the second day of the second test at Lord's on Friday with off-spinner Graeme Swann scalping a five-for to wrap up the Australian innings in 53.3 overs.

England resuming the day at 289 for seven were bowled out for 72 runs in the morning session with 48 runs been added for the last wicket.

After a good start with Shane Watson and Chris Rogers adding 42 runs, Tim Brensan brought in the breakthrough with Watson failing once again and later got the better off of left hander Phil Hughes. Graeme Swann conceded just 44 runs in the 21.3 overs he bowled. This was his 15th five-for and was unplayable on occasions with the wicket opening up and the cherry doing a lot once pitching on the rough.

Off-spinner Swann, who earlier in the day had smashed Australia for a quickfire 28 not out batting at No 11, had tea figures of three wickets for 27 runs in 15 overs. Brad Haddin, whose 73 so nearly denied England a 14-run first Test win at Trent Bridge, was two not out, with Peter Siddle unbeaten on naught, as he faced another rescue mission.

Australia, whose fallible top order had been their Achilles heel at Trent Bridge, had lost three wickets for 11 runs in front of a sun-drenched capacity crowd of more than 28,000 at 'the home of cricket'.

England's Graeme Swann, Alastair Cook, and Matt Prior celebrate the wicket of Australia's Steven Smith during day two of the second Ashes Test match held at Lord's cricket ground in London.

There was no doubt, however, about the manner in which Australia were four down.

Usman Khawaja, brought in after Australia axed Ed Cowan who on seven saw Jonathan Trott drop a rou-

tine slip catch off Swann, gave his wicket away to the spinner on 14 when he holed out to Kevin Pietersen at mid-off.

Not for the first time in his career, Australia captain Michael Clarke, the

tourists' best batsman, came in with his side in trouble. Clarke could only watch as Steven Smith turned Swan to Ian Bell, whose 109 Thursday had revived England from the depths of 28 for three, at short leg.

Ashok also praised Bedi for pressing hard for Dhyan Chand's name during their meeting with Jitendra Singh.

Dhyan Chand won three gold medals at the Olympics -- 1928 in Amsterdam, 1932 in Los Angeles and 1936 in Berlin. He passed away in 1979. The government in 2011 had ignored the plea of 82 Members of Parliament, who recommended Dhyan Chand's name for Bharat Ratna but in January 2012, the Ministry itself forwarded his name along with Olympic gold medallist shooter Abhinav Bindra and mountaineer Tenzing Norgay for the award. However, Tendulkar's name was not given as the BCCI had not recommended him.

JSW sign India team captain Sunil Chhetri

BENGALURU: In a major capture, JSW Sports, on Friday, announced the signing of India team captain Sunil Chhetri to the Bengaluru-based football club that is set to be launched on Saturday.

Chhetri’s signing for JSW ends weeks of speculation about the striker’s future. “I met the people at JSW a few months ago and the first thing that struck me was the passion behind all the planning. I want to play for a club that’s clear about its vision and I saw that in JSW. I know I am coming from a champion team but that works as more motivation here,” said Chhetri.

Chhetri had signed for Sporting Clube de Portugal B last season before he came on loan to Churchill Brothers towards the fag end of the ILeague.

On his decision of signing for a club that will be making its I-League debut this season, Chhetri said he didn’t need any prodding. “Choosing JSW wasn’t really tough because the people seemed genuine. We need to think long term. We are a young team and we wouldn’t want to harbor high hopes. I’m not setting any targets but I’m sure we can achieve a lot of things if we stick together.”

Wadekar undergoes angioplasty

MUMBAI: Former India captain Ajit Wadekar underwent an angioplasty for a major blockage of artery and is recuperating at a city hospital here. "I'm speaking from the hospital now. I will be discharged tomorrow," the 72year-old ex-chief selector told PTI. "I had gone to the hospital to get stress test done and the doctors found a major blockage after angiography. I then underwent angioplasty, was kept under observation in the ICU, but I am out of it now," informed Wadekar, who led India to three successive Test series wins between 1971 and 1973 over West Indies (away) and England (back to back away and at home).

M
