Gujarat Assembly passes GUJCOTOC bill Gujarat Assembly Tuesday passed Gujarat Control of Terrorism and Organised Crime(GUJCOTOC) Bill Sunvilla News, Gandhinagar
After failing to get Presidential assent for its anti-terror bill thrice, Gujarat government introduced Gujarat Control of Organised Crime (GUJCOC) Bill in a new form by adding terrorism related provisions to it. While GUJCOC was only about organized crime, GUJCOTOC covers terror activities too. The GUJCOC bill, which is on the lines of the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), was rejected in
2004 and 2008 by the then President AJPAbdul Kalam and Pratibha Patil respectively who had suggested some amendments in the provisions related to telephone interception and confession made before police officer being considered as evidence in court. The state government once again prepared a new draft of the bill and rechristened it Gujarat Control of Terrorism and Organised Crime (GUJCOTOC) Bill-2015. It was tabled for discussion

and approval of the House Tuesday and passed. While the bill has been renamed , it still contains the provisions that had led to Gujarat Assembly its rejection by Presidents in the past. One such provision is the admissibility of evidence collected through intercepted calls of the
accused. This provision empowers the police to intercept calls and admit it as evidence in the court. Justifying the provision, the ‘Statement of Objects and Reasons’ in the bill states that it is necessary in the contemporary day where organised criminal syndicates make extensive
use of wire and oral communication. It says that the interception of such communication to obtain evidence is inevitable and an indispensable aid for the law enforcement. The statement provides a detailed justification on the issue by adding that the existing laws are inadequate to curb the menace of organised crimes. It further says, “It is therefore, considered necessary to enact a special law with stringent provisions, including the power to intercept wire, electronic or oral communication.” As per the clause-14 of the bill, evidence collected through

‘interception of wire, electronic or oral communication… shall be admissible as evidence against the accused in the court’. Former President APJ Abdul Kalam had in 2004 objected over the particular clause-14 and returned the bill to the government led by the then chief minister Narendra Modi, asking it to remove the clause. Later in 2008, the bill was passed after deleting the clause related to interception of communication, as per the suggestion of Kalam. However, President Pratibha Patil rejected it and had suggested some more
Gujarat: Controversial Anti-Terror Bill should not have been passed, says Congress
Sunvilla News, Gandhinagar
Agency : New Delhi Salman Khan's ex flame and former actress Somy Ali has hogged the limelight recently after an interview to a leading daily. The actress-turned-social crusader has revealed that she was sexually molested and abused by her domestic help when she was five. And, this is one of the reasons for setting up
a voluntary organisation – No More Tears (NMT) – in Florida to help victims of abuse after she separated with the 49-year-old actor in 2000. The Pakistani girl, who came to Bollywood to meet her crush Salman, will be penning a chapter on her
relation with the latter in her autobiography soon. Somy and Salman dated for almost eight years before they called it quits. Further, in her interview, she also rubbished all rumours claiming Salman had hit her with a cola bottle once.
amendments. One of them was to eliminate the provision which allows confession made before a police officer, be admitted in the court as evidence. However, ignoring the suggestion, the state government had once again passed the bill in 2009 for the third time and sent it for President’s approval. The bill is still pending with the President. As per the clause16, “A confession made by a person before a police officer not below the rank of SP.. shall be admissible in the trial of such accused, co-accused, abettor or conspirator for an offence under the provisions of this Act.”
The opposition Congress, which abstained from the voting, accused the state government of ignoring constitutional rights. "Despite reservations from past presidents, no changes have been made. The government has just changed the nomenclature and the content remains
same," Congress leader Shaktisinh Gohil said. The first version of the law was sent to the Centre in 2004, when Modi was the state chief minister. The Union government then headed by Atal Bihari Vajpayee had sent it back, asking for major changes. Later, the UPA government had also objected to the bill.

Gujarat anti-terror Bill is a replica of POTA....? The BJP government in Gujarat passed the contentious Gujarat Control of Terrorism and Organized Crime Bill (GCTOC) on March 31. Rejected on three earlier occasions by two Presidents (President Kalam and President Pratibha Patil) for violating basic principles of justice, this bill is a modified version of the 2003 law that originated during Modi's regime as chief minister. Before this issue degenerates into the typical either/or debate: Either we protect our people from terror or we protect our most cherished principles let me state this unequivocally that this is a false choice. Here's why. It would be pertinent to note that in 2004, the central government headed by BJP's very own Bharat Ratna Atal Behari Vajpayee, had sought the return of the bill back to Gujarat government, asking for 'major changes'. The Congress-led UPA government later on, continued with position taken by the previous NDA government and when the bill was passed this time around, in the Gujarat Assembly yet again, the Congress abstained from voting. The BJP has a majority in the Gujarat Assembly and hence the bill sailed through, notwithstanding the boycott by the opposition and the larger questions on legality and constitutional propriety, that remain unaddressed! The bill in question has Modi's fingerprints all over. Modi not only pioneered this law but pursued it as an article of faith and that saw Gujarat government pass the law four times in 12 years- 2004, 2008, 2009 and 2015! In all these instances, despite the reservations expressed by the President, the Gujarat government continued to push with provisions in the bill, that prima-facie seemed ultra vires the constitution and violative of fundamental rights and civil liberties. The current bill is old wine in new bottle and in many ways worse than POTA and TADA which had been repealed. The worrying provisions continue to remain in the bill. The bill seek to give police far reaching powers to make arbitrary arrests, present confessions in custody as evidence as per clause 16 which is currently inadmissible as such and to even intercept phone calls as per clause 14! The bill provides for extending the period of investigation from the stipulated 90 days to 180 days. It makes offenses under the bill non-bailable. It also grants, vide section 25, immunity from legal action to the state government and its officers against suits, proceedings and prosecutions for anything they do in 'good faith in pursuance of the Act'. This bill will only alienate scores of minorities who have in the past, as per hard data and records, been at the receiving end of illegalities of such bad laws. It will hurt the trust quotient and social cohesion in our society that is essential to fight terrorism.While introducing this law, the Gujarat Home Minister said this bill was the "need of the hour" to fight terror especially with " Pakistan become the epicentre of world terror ". It betrays the sense of fear and communal politics that has driven the passage of this bill. Fighting terror cannot happen with laws that curb our freedoms and damage our own social fabric. We don't have to settle for this bill, which is essentially a replica of "POTA with saffron lipstick". We don't have to settle for a law that sacrifices our liberties or our safety. We can have one that secures both. This one does neither.

From April 1, museum, zoo tickets to turn cheaper, air travel costlier Agency : NEW DELHI Entry tickets to museums, zoo and tiger reserves would become cheaper, while business class air travel, investment in MFs and chit funds would become expensive with some of the service tax proposals announced in the Budget coming into effect from tomorrow. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had come out with a host of proposals last month to rationalise service tax, which is levied at an effective rate of 12.36 per cent. These also include raising the rate to 14 per cent, but that will come into effect from a date to be notified later by the government after the passage of the Finance Bill by Parliament. However, the proposals which will come into effect from April 1, 2015, include tax exemption granted to services like admission to a
museum, zoo, national park, wild life sanctuary and a tiger reserve. Similarly, life insurance scheme Varishtha Pension Bima Yojna, ambulance service, retail packing of fruits and vegetables, too will not attract service tax levy. On the other hand, air travel will become expensive as service tax will now be levied on 60 per cent of the value of the ticket as against 40 per cent now. “At present, service tax is payable on 40 per cent of the value of air transport of passenger for economy as well as higher classes, for example, business class. “The abatement for classes other than economy is being reduced and service tax would be payable on 60 per cent of the value of such higher classes,” said the memorandum to the Finance Bill, adding that the proposal will come into effect from April 1, 2015.

After he took the catch of the World Cup this month, a leaping onehanded take above his head on the boundary to get rid of Marlon Samuels in Wellington, he looked almost embarrassed. No fuss, no histrionics. Just modest Dan. Softly-spoken and unfailingly polite, Vettori is the very essence of what New Zealand cricket has

In 2012 he won it on his own, for declining to appeal for a run-out in the Bulawayo Test against Zimbabwe, when he was bowling and had accidentally impeded the other runner. "It was the right thing to do at the time and we as a team try and play with the right spirit of cricket," Vettori said after receiving the award. "It's hard to define the spirit of cricket, but go out on the field with the general mindset to play the game in the right way and always in the right frame of mind."

Although we had won that match we cannot do away with the fact that they are a very competitive and strong team with a good line of attack. "To counter them we will have to be strong in all aspects of the game, with clear focus on trying to cash in on penalty corners. For sure we will want to start the tournament with a win."

Child killed after slipping through cavity in schools bus's floor, HC discharges principal Sunvilla News, Ahmedabad
This is a case in which the law is self-admittedly harsh. Gujarat high court has dropped charges of criminal negligence against a school principal after four-year old Adit Patel, a student of Saraswati International School near Valsad, fell from a hole on the floor of his school bus and got crushed to death under the wheels in 2010. The court recently concluded that criminal liability cannot be fixed on the principal for the kid's death. The school, however, can be held liable in a civil suit. The court admitted that it was not easy to come to the conclusion. Justice J B Pardiwala wrote, "Dictating this judgment was a very painful experience.The very thought of a four-year old child getting crushed beneath the tyres of his own school bus makes my heart bleed with pain and agony . I can also imagine the pain and agony the parents of the deceased must be undergoing even today ." "However, such thoughts should not allow the mind of
a judge to get bogged, otherwise justice cannot be done. However, harsh one may find the law, but at the same time, law remains law and it has got to be respected," said the order. Adit's grandfather had lodged an FIR against the driver, cleaner, bus supervisor and the school administrator - Girish Pandya - who also held principal's post for not repairing the vehicle despite their request.They were booked for rash driving and culpable homicide amounting to murder. The lower court initiated proceedings against them. Pandya unsuccessfully filed a discharge plea before the magisterial court. When Pandya moved the HC last year, the court concluded that the principal was not responsible. "The only allegation against him was that he did not pay any heed to complaint regarding poor bus conditions.The persons who could be said to be directly responsible for the unfortunate death of the student are the driver and cleaner of the vehicle," the court said.
2013, 14 out of 16 Directors, unanimously passed the Resolution of No confidence motion against Chairman, GCMMF. 6. Shri Vipul Chaudhary challenged the order of Division Bench before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. However no relief was granted and as per direction of Supreme court, new Chairman of GCMMF was elected on 1-8-2014. 7. After arguments of both the side, Supreme Court finally, passed order dated 19-32015 and dismissed appeal filed by Sh. Vipul Chaudhary and hold that democratic principles have to be read into the statute pertaining to Co-op Societies and hence there is a power to pass “no confidence” motion.

Big Income Tax defaulters: 11 of 18 are from Gujarat Agency : New Delhi The Income Tax department of India on Tuesday took to the strategy of ‘naming and shaming’ of some large tax defaulters as it published names of 18 entities who owe over Rs 500 crore tax to the exchequer. “The step is aimed to publicise and put these names in public domain so that the common man can come forward to help the department in knowing the whereabouts of these. The step is to enhance public awareness against these entities who are acting against law. These names were put up on the department’s website earlier,” a senior I-T officer said. Newspapers on Tuesday carried the names of the tax defaulters and the data published was quoted to have been published by the Principal Chief
Commissioner of Income Tax (Administration) based in the national capital here. Adopting an aggressive approach, government had for the first time gone public with names of 18 tax defaulters, including Goldsukh Trade and Somani Cements which, according to I-T, have turned wilful defaulters. In a bid to force these entities to pay their dues, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) had asked the I-T department to post on its website, few days back, the names of 18 defaulters, of whom 11 are based in the western Indian state of Gujarat. “Defaulters are advised to pay tax arrears immediately,” said the notice. “This is the first time the department has put in public domain a list of those wilful tax defaulters who have a tax liability of Rs
10 crore and above,” a senior tax official had said, adding that in many cases the assessees were not “traceable”. “The department, in the public notice, has provided the PAN number and the last known address of these defaulters for the public to know,” the official added. The official said periodically the department has been proposing “naming and shaming” of wilful defaulters and the step has now been taken on the last day of the current financial year on Tuesday. The companies in the list include Somani Cement with tax arrears of Rs 27.47 crore, Blue Information Technology (Rs 75.11 cr), Appletech Solutions (Rs 27.07 cr), Jupiter Business (Rs 21.31 cr) and Hirak Biotech (Rs 18.54 cr).

Congress stages silent protest over police complaint
Sunvilla News, Gandhinagar
The opposition Congress on Monday staged a silent protest by wearing black strips on their mouths in the assembly against the police complaint registered against 19 of their MLAs in the case of vandalism last week. Right from the start of the question hour to the time when two bills were passed, Congress members did not utter a word even when it
was their turn to speak. After the break, senior Congress MLA Shaktisinh Gohil raised the point of order against the police case. He alleged that on March 26 newly appointed deputy speaker Atmaram Parmar had used unparliamentarily words against the Congress MLAs and ordered the sergeants to use force against them. At this point, senior ministers
Nitin Patel and Ramanlal Vora tried to intervene, making Gohil and other Congress MLAs walk out of the house. Speaker Ganpat Vasava, while giving his ruling on the point of order, said: "Any kind of protest in the assembly is not permitted. The point of order is also not maintainable as it was against the ruling of the speaker."
