Convicted Salman returns home, till May 8
Salman Khan was today (May 6) granted two-day interim bail by the Bombay High Court in the 2002 hitand-run case, hours after he was sentenced to five years in jail by a Sessions Court.
Agency : New Delhi A sessions court is all set to deliver its verdict on Wednesday in the hit-andrun case involving Bollywood actor Salman Khan, who is charged with killing one person and injuring four by ramming his SUV into a bakery shop in suburban Bandra 13 years ago. Police have geared up to provide tight security in the court to restrain the actor’s fans from entering the premises with a view to avoiding overcrowding, sessions court sources said. Only mediapersons, lawyers and the court staff would be allowed inside the court, the sources said. Judge DW Deshpande
had declared last month that he would pronounce the verdict on 6 May. He also summoned the actor to remain present in the court at 11.15 AM on the day. The prosecution and
Agency : New Delhi With several Opposition parties raising serious concerns on a number of clauses, chances of the Constitution (122nd Amendment) Bill for introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) clearing Parliament in the current session dimmed on Tuesday. Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley “beseeched” the Opposition in the Lok Sabha to “rise above partisan” considerations as they “serve no purpose” but the Congress, the AIADMK and the BJD mounted stiff resistance which could effectively stall the passage in the current session as the government does not have a major-
ity in the Upper House — even if it manages to push the Bill through the Lower House on Wednesday. The Opposition’s strategy in the Rajya Sabha will be to force the government to accept the referring of the Bill to a Select Committee on the ground that there are substantial changes which have not been scrutinised. In the Lok Sabha however, Speaker Sumitra Mahajan on Tuesday rejected such a demand. Mr. Jaitley argued that if the GST Bill was sent back to the Standing Committee on Finance, it would delay the benefits to the States by another financial year as yet another deadline of April 1, 2016 would

Jim McLay, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Asoke Mukherjee said Lakhvi’s release by a Pakistani court was in violation of the 1267 UN resolution dealing with designated entities and individuals. In the letter by the Indian envoy, it was also mentioned that even the bail amount provided was against the sanctions’ committee rule which calls for freezing the funds and other financial assets or economic resources of designated individuals and entities.
India likely to ask Pakistan how 26/11 accused Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi got bail, who stood for surety bond Agency : New Delhi India is likely to ask Pakistan as to how 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks accused Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi was released from jail on bail in violation of the United Nations norms as his outfit Lashkar-e-Toiba was a designated terrorist group. New Delhi is expected to send a diplomatic note to Islamabad seeking reply on how Lakhvi submitted two bail bonds worth Rs 1 million each for his release and who stood for the surety. Official sourc-

While prosecution pleaded that there were three persons in the car -- Salman, his police bodyguard Ravindra Patil and singer friend Kamal Khan, the actor argued that there was a fourth person, the actor’s driver Ashok Singh. A court had in 2013 framed charges in a fresh trial against Khan for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.The prosecution examined 27 witnesses to prove its case.
by agreeing to the demand. The AIADMK’s P. Venugopal said his party opposed the Bill as it was “harmful” to producing States such as Tamil Nadu. The State, he said, would lose over Rs. 10,000 crore with the new tax regime. He demanded that petroleum products — source of 21 per cent of Tamil Nadu’s tax revenue under the present tax structure — government would not be taken out of the probe doing any “charity” posed GST regime.
However the court didn’t listen and announced the verdict followed by the quantum of punishment. Court has offered Salman Khan to choose from the two options. Bhai of Bollywood can either choose to spend 3 years in jail or he has to do community service by marrying Rakhi Sawant. Bhai’s friends and family members were seen disheartened after listening to the punishment of marrying Rakhi Sawant. Friends and co-stars from the film industry have shared their feelings via micro-blogging site Twitter and other social platforms. Hema Maini tweeted, “I was praying for a lesser sentence. I have full sympathy with Salman.
2 / Dt. 07-05-2015, Thursday Editors’ Picks THURSEDAY, MAY 07, 2015 Appeals and the travesty of justice After 13 years, actor Salman Khan has finally been convicted in the Mumbai hit-and-run case. In 2002, he ran his car over a group of homeless men sleeping on the platform, killing one and injuring several others. Khan, who has been sentenced to five years in prison by a Sessions court in Mumbai, is likely to appeal in the Bombay High Court. And in this way, some more years will pass. Consider another case, far from the glare of cameras and press attention, one where conviction was delayed not by 13 years, but a mind-boggling 41 years. This was the obscure case of Parsuram Satpathy, a student leader, who was murdered by a former member of the legislative assembly and eight others in 1974 in Balangir, Odisha. On Monday, the Orissa high court awarded life imprisonment to three of the nine accused. The other six died over the course of 40 years. Quite naturally for Satpathy’s family, the punishment that has been handed out is a far cry from any understanding of the word justice. These very different cases are among a huge number of civil and criminal proceedings that display one feature: delays caused by strict adherence to procedural justice. Once meant to safeguard the poor against the mighty, procedural aspects of law now pose a danger to the delivery of justice itself. The number of cases pending in the judicial pipeline is a case in point. A data-based Mint report on the overburdened judicial system revealed that, “The average percentage of cases pending trial in state high courts and lower courts has increased to 84.81% in 2013 compared with 82.8% a decade earlier…The completion rate for cases has fallen to 13.19% in 2013 from 14.61% in 2003… the outstanding number of criminal cases before the judiciary was 9.71 million in 2013.” (The slow moving wheels of Indian judiciary, 5 August 2014) Compare this with the number of pending criminal cases in US district courts in 2013: 75,578. In the US, the number of pending cases has actually fallen 1% from 2012. Speed is the essence of justice. Very often, delays in the delivery of justice take the sting out of the crime. This provides sufficient room for the accused to device mitigation strategies that soon translate into grounds for leniency. This is evident in Khan’s case. The arguments that started surfacing before and after the verdict was announced are partly explained by this sort of strategizing. How to reconcile a verdict convicting him of killing a man, with the fact that through his charity Being Human he has helped in the betterment of several lives? To put it bluntly, for the purposes of justice it doesn’t matter. Khan committed his crime in 2002. He started his charity in 2007. He could spend his life doing charity but that doesn’t diminish the gravity of the crime itself. The trouble with delaying justice is just this: it lends credence to such arguments for clemency.

I thought Irrfan would look down upon me: Deepika Padukone

It was one of those experiences when I was enacting what I was living. “I thought he would be an intense actor, an intense person, everything about him is intense, courtesy media’s perception.

Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro review: Large screen tablet with bundled projector, faces strong competition
Agency : New Delhi Tablets as a category is waning. There have been countless reports about how the category is not seeing as much growth as it did till phablets came on to the scene. With the introduction of the 2-in-1s category which lets you use a device as a laptop and a tablet interchangeably, one would think that tablet category is redundant. But that doesn’t seem to be the case. At least not yet. Apple still released its iPad Air 2 last year and is rumoured to release the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Lenovo has been experimenting with its Yoga tablets over the last couple of years. We
had tested the Yoga Tablet 2, a 10.1-inch tablet with the kick-stand which lets you arrange the tablet in multiple configurations. The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro is naturally a bigger version of the Yoga Tablet 2. Things don’t just end with a bigger screen – 13.3-inch as opposed to 10.1-inch – but Lenovo has managed to it in a projector in the Tablet 2 Pro. Yes, you read that right – a Projector. This makes it a first of its kind tablet, to feature an in-built projector. So is this just a gimmick or does it really add value to the overall experience. We will find out in the review below.

Quoting the Socio-Economic Review(2014-15) of Gujarat, Ahmed Patel in a letter to Chief Minister Anandiben Patel said production of Bajra has reduced by 21% whereas Jowar output has shrunk by more than half (52%) to stand at a mere
84,000 tonnes. He pointed out that the figures are alarming because protein and micro nutrients-rich millets are vital in fight against malnutrition when half of children in Gujarat face stunted growth due to malnutrition. He fur-
ther said, “unlike other crops, millets can grow in harsh climatic conditions, require less water and fertilizer, and yet provide reasonable yields to the farmers. Hence I find it disturbing that despite their numerous benefits, production of millets is receiving scant attention from the state government. Consequently, the acreage of both Jowar and Bajra has reduced by 48% and 25% respectively within one year.”

against Jadeja on April 8 and arrested him on the basis of an FIR and two application filed by five unknown people,” said the petition filed by his uncle Ranubha Jadeja.

Jadeja mentioned in the plea that he had filed about three public interest litigations (PILs) in the High Court against the Adani Group.
