BJP replies ‘you have lost people’s confidence’
Faith in judiciary restored:Rawat Agency | Dehradun
Set to return as Chief Minister after one-and-a-half months of dramatic twists and turns, Harish Rawat on Wednesday said the judiciary has restored the faith of people in democracy in Uttarakhand even as he pledged to start afresh forgetting the “bad patch” to take the state forward. Rawat, who thanked Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and other party leader for lending support, said the state would need active support of the central government and that he would meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. The judiciary has restored the faith of the people in democracy, he said, stressing that the state will start a “new

From the Supreme Court to the High Court, I want to thank the judiciary. With this, the trust of people in the constitutional set up has increased further,” Rawat told reporters here. Observing that in the past one-and-a-half months the state suffered losses, Rawat said, “What ends well remains well.
And from here, making a new start will be beneficial for the state.” He said, “It will be beneficial for the state if we think all this as a bad patch or a troubled patch and forget it and think of the way forward. I want to thank the Attorney General and the central government for showing magnanimity and telling the court that they are going to withdraw President’s rule. “We believe that after all the other sad chapters and questions
Bihar youth murder: Suspended JD(U) MLC’s house sealed, say Police Agency | Gaya
A day after being suspended from JD(U) in connection with recovery of liquor bottles from her house, the Excise department on Wednesday sealed MLC Manorama Devi’s residence and also intensified its efforts to arrest the absconding legislator. Officials of Excise department with the help of police sealed the residence of the suspended MLC in posh Anugrah Puri colony, Senior Superintendent of Police Garima Mallik said. The sealing of the house came in the wake of a case registered against the MLC with Rampur
police station last night in connection with about 18 bottles of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) bottles recovered from her house during a search on Monday. The search was made for her son Rocky Yadav, who allegedly shot dead a youth, in Gaya on Saturday night. Police questioned a domestic help and a cook of the MLC about her where-

Trouble mounted on the legislator after her suspension from JD(U) last night in connection with recovery of liquor bottles in dry state Bihar, and charge of hiding facts about her son Rocky Yadav who allegedly killed a class XIIth student Aditya Sachdeva after the car in which he was travelling overtook the SUV of the MLC’s son.

He said Sonia Gandhi, Rahul initiated the ‘save democracy’ campaign to give a lead to democratic forces, other political parties and the people who gave moral support. “I want to thank Mayawati for supporting us. The people who supported us are very precious for me.
When I go there (to Delhi), I will also meet the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister and will tell them that the state of Uttarakhand needs your support,” Rawat said. BJP, however, lashed out at Congress and Rahul Gandhi, saying he should not give sermons as his
party has “murdered” democracy by “paying off” legislators and has “lost” the confidence of the people of the state. “Congress, which is a murderer of democracy, is undemocratic and is a champion of corruption, should not give sermons to BJP on democracy.
TRAI to decide on SC order, we expect better service: Telecom Minister Agency | New Delhi
With the Supreme Court annulling the call drop compensation regulation, Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday said telecom operators must “heed properly” his call for improving service quality. “When they can expand telecom services to the nook and corner of the country, why can’t they improve the quality?” Prasad asked soon after the court judgement. The apex court on Wednesday set aside the call-drop penalty provision put in place by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of
India (Trai), which mandated mobile providers to compensate consumers Re 1 for every dropped call subject to a maximum of Rs 3 a day. It called the
regulation “ultra vires, arbitrary, unreasonable and non-transparent”. Commenting on the order, Prasad said, “As far the judgement is concerned,
Trai regulation is under scrutiny. Therefore, Trai needs to take a call. As far as government obligation is concerned, we shall continue to persuade telecom operators to provide good service.” Invoking the social commitment card, Prasad held that consumers expect good service from mobile operators, and as a minister, it is his responsibility to keep persuading and monitoring them to ensure they fix gaps in their network.

Political adventurism fails to pay in Uttarakhand Congress leader Harish Rawat’s reinstatement as chief minister of Uttarakhand following a trial of strength in the assembly under the Supreme Court’s supervision has lessons for the Indian polity. As this newspaper has repeatedly stressed, the Centre’s first decision — to dismiss the state government a day before Mr Rawat was to prove his majority in the House as instructed by the governor — was an injudicious one. This amounted to undermining the offices of the governor as well as the assembly Speaker. When the Congress appealed against this in the Uttarakhand High Court, the court twice ordered a floor test, which could not take place because the Centre persisted with its legal course. Finally its case did not stand up in the Supreme Court either. As in many other cases, the BJP can only point to the number of times the Congress governments resorted to such things. But, as two wrongs do not make a right, this will not wash with the people. The government’s action had brought in its train many legal-constitutional questions that shall be debated in future. The most important of those has been the two-member bench’s quashing of the presidential order dismissing the Uttarakhand government. It raised the question whether any court had the powers to quash a presidential proclamation. Next, the two-member bench also rapped the Centre by asking its counsel whether it was not striking at the root of democracy by dismissing an elected government. With the SR Bommai judgment — stating that only a floor test could decide whether a government had the confidence of the assembly or not — being there, it is inexplicable as to why the Centre took this action, more so, with the assembly elections in Uttarakhand less than a year away. Finally comes the most serious matter of the separation of powers. Over time the executive, both the political as well as the permanent, has been failing to administer things that fall within its domain. As a result, it is the courts that are deciding on matters such as the diesel ban, medical entrance tests or the Board of Control for Cricket in India. This time even the legislature had to lean on the judiciary for managing its own affairs.

Agency | New Delhi
Actress Richa Chadha’s sizzling avatar in Pooja Bhatt’s upcoming film ‘Cabaret’ has already created a buzz about the film. But the actress doesn’t want any unwanted revelations about her look. She, reportedly, banned the use of cell phones on the film’s sets to avoid pictures getting leaked. That Chadha doesn’t want the audience to get a detailed idea about what her role is going to be or twists and turns in the movie, for that matter. Apparently, there are additional looks in the film that are meant to be kept under wraps for the time being and the ‘Fukrey’ actress’ banned cell phones on the sets fearing that some pictures from the shoot might get leaked. Cabaret features Richa in the lead role playing a small town girl who makes it big in the glamour industry. Directed by Kaustav Narayan Niyogi, it also stars Gulshan Devaiah and will hit the screens on May 27.

Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt says enacting a hockey player was physically quite challenging for her and she had to push herself to look convincing on screen. Alia, 23, will be seen in a completely deglam avatar as a migrant Bihari labourer, who is a hockey player, in director Abhishek Chaubey’s “Udta Punjab”. “It was hectic and physically very demanding kind of a film. I had to push myself despite the injuries I had. I trained for hockey before starting the film. One would need to have a lot of years of practice to pull that
off convincingly,” Alia told reporters here at the launch of “Ikk Kudi” song from “Udta Punjab”. The “Shaandaar” star said as an actor she was just “pretending” to know how to play hockey, with help from coach and students who got her to achieve the perfect body language. “I was just pretending to know how to play hockey. I got a lot
of help from the director, the coach and the students over there to get the body language correct.” “I did try, worked hard, wanted to be comfortable with the hockey stick, and bring out a certain ease which comes from the body language of hockey players. There is a little strength and force and I wanted to bring that in my character,” Alia said.

Directed by Tony D’Souza, Azhar chronicles the life of Azharuddin, who was implicated in a cricket match-fixing scandal in 2000, and banned by BCCI for life. In 2012, however, the Andhra Pradesh High Court lifted the ban, describing it as “unsustainable”. There were reports that Azharuddin’s former wife Sangeeta
Bijlani and popular cricketer Manoj Prabhakar are set to sue the makers of the film for showing them in a bad light once the film releases. ”We knew that this film will ruffle a few feathers because he was controversial and everyone got a perception. When you are showing it through one person’s point of view, other people will feel the reality is something else. All these controversies were expected and I think when they will see the film all these speculation can go either ways. It could make things or worse or it could make them feel that they were over-reacting,” Emraan said.

Agency | New Delhi The Supreme Court allowed on Wednesday the Income Tax department to reopen the 2001 tax case against actor Amitabh Bachchan over his earnings from the quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC). The apex court set aside the Bombay high court’s order that gave relief to the actor in the
tax dispute. The Income Tax department had challenged the high court’s order in the apex court. The high court had dismissed the IT department’s plea on February 29 last year and allowed Bachchan a tax exemption for being an artist on the show. The Supreme Court had earlier on January 8 sought the superstar’s response on a petition by the Income
Tax department, which claimed that the actor owes to it Rs 1.66 crore as taxes on his income he earned through the quiz show during 200102. Earlier in 2008, the high court had allowed I-T exemption on 30% of Bachchan’s total income of Rs 50.92 crore from the show. The court had accepted the actor’s plea that being an artiste he should be given tax relief under Section 80 RR of the Income-Tax Act. The department in its appeal challenged the order on the ground that the relief is for those artists, who either earn by performing outside the country or receive payment from foreign agencies.

The outspoken and enigmatic Akhtar said he backed the appointment of Arthur who is a very seasoned and experienced coach having worked with top international teams like
South Africa and Australia. “But I think in eight months time we will know whether he will make a difference or go like others before him. Because in this period we play some very important series and either he will reshape the way we play our cricket or decide to bid goodbye,” Akhtar said. He made it clear that coaching the Pakistan team could be a challenging and frustrating assignment for any foreigner because of the
different cricket culture prevalent in the country. “Arthur has a reputation of being a disciplinarian and innovative coach and Pakistan cricket needs both but he has to decide when and where to draw the line,” Akhtar said on a local television channel. Pakistan in the next eight months has full Test tours to England, New Zealand and Australia and also play the West Indies in a full series in the UAE. “Arthur has all the credentials to change the attitude and mindset of our players the way they play top cricket.

The defeat meant Pune were consigned to their eighth loss in 11 matches with no hope to qualify for the top four (playoffs). For a man who is known for his ‘chasing’ skills, Dhoni was left heartbroken after he had done all the hard work to guide RPS to the
brink of victory on Tuesday night. RPS needed 14 off the last over. Sunrisers summoned their most experienced pacer, Ashish Nehra to stop Dhoni (batting on 22 off 17 balls) and Thisara Perera (16 not out off 11 balls). It turned out to be a fascinating six balls. After singles off the first two deliveries, Perera was out in 19.3. The Lankan holed out at extra-cover trying for a big one. Dhoni crossed over to take strike.

The most interesting is Mumbai’s way of encouraging a player whether or not he has been chosen as man of the match. So every time a match finishes, the players and support staff would sit together in the dressing room, vote among themselves who

A round of applause followed before the team finally dispersed for the team hotel. It’s a practice followed despite disappointing defeats. And no exception was made to it even after Mumbai Indians’ heaviest loss this season on Sunday. But things have come to a point of no return for the defending champions who slipped to their lowest total of the season. With five wins and five losses to their name, Mumbai Indians have again left the business of qualifying for the playoffs for the business end.
