Sunvilla News | Ahmedabad

Vismay and his family broke down when additional sessions judge P M Patel held Vismay guilty in
an overcrowded courtroom on the Mirzapur court campus. Vismay was fined Rs 31,000 and ordered to pay Rs 5 lakh each to the two victims’ families as compensation. Besides five years’ jail term under section 304 Part II of the IPC for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, the court awarded one-year imprisonment to Vismay
for damaging property and six months for rash and negligent driving. All sentences will run concurrently . Vismay was also held guilty of violation of various sections of the Motor Vehicles Act, but no separate sentence was stipulated. He has already spent 13 months in jail. He was denied bail on 12 occasions by different courts, including
the Supreme Court. Two eyewitnesses -Lalit Gupta and Dinesh Chaudhary , the friends of the deceased youths -had turned hostile during the trial. But the court held Vismay guilty on the basis of their statements recorded before a judicial magistrate under section 164 of the CrPC. The court also took into consideration the testimony
PM Narendra Modi ‘enemy of backward castes’, says RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav Agency | New Delhi
RJD chief Lalu Prasad on Monday described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as an “enemy of backward castes” for holding back the caste census figures and challenged him to publish it. “Modi claims to be from backward caste, but he is actually an enemy of the backward castes. I challenge him to publish the caste data if he really hails from backward community,” Prasad said while taking out a procession to the Raj Bhawan demanding publishing of the caste census. What is the inten-
tion of the Central government in holding it back, the RJD chief asked stating that socio-economic caste census was conducted on “our demands” and at the initiative of the previous UPA government. “The socio-economic part of the data was released showing the poor condi-
tion of our countrymen, but the caste part has been held back. The people has a right to know about the numbers and condition of castes and we demand its immediate release,” he added. Prasad was speaking after his march, which was stopped by the administration before the Raj
Nithari case: SC seeks Surender Koli’s response on UP govt’s plea for death penalty Agency | New Delhi
The Supreme Court on Monday sought response of Nithari serial killings case convict Surender Koli on a plea of the Uttar Pradesh government against the Allahabad High Court verdict that commuted his death penalty to life term earlier this year. A bench of Chief Justice H L Dattu and Justices Amitava Roy and Arun Mishra issued notice to Koli on the UP government’s petition against the high court order that had rapped it up for “inordinate delay” in deciding Koli’s mercy petition. On January 28, this year, the Allahabad High Court had commuted the death sentence, awarded to Koli, to life term in the murder of 14-year-old Rimpa Haldar. Koli was sentenced to death by a special CBI court in Ghaziabad on February 13,
Bhawan. “The caste census figures will help formulate policies for those castes that are lagging behind in development. Once we get these data, we will demand a separate budget for education, employment and other developmental activities of these castes,” he said. Prasad asserted that his party will agitate non-stop till the figures are released and will call a ‘Bihar bandh’ to demand it. The RJD chief announced July 25 as the date for Bihar bandh while speaking to his supporters, but withdrew it after realising that the Prime Minister will be visiting Patna and Muzaffarpur on that day.

The Great Game Folio: Modi’s Pak Pivot
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi returns from a gruelling “Look North” tour, the domestic focus continues to be on his surprising outreach to Pakistan’s PM Nawaz Sharif rather than his renewed engagement with the Central Asian republics. But the two are not unrelated, since Pakistan looms so large in India’s Eurasian strategy. It was perhaps entirely appropriate that Modi’s pivot to Pakistan took place on the margins of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), with its ambitious agenda for integrating inner Asia. Indian and Pakistani leaders have a long tradition of meeting in distant lands rather than hopping across the border. Manmohan Singh, who was not allowed by the Congress to travel to Pakistan even once in his decade-long tenure as PM, sustained the dialogue with Pakistan in meetings around the world. Modi seemed to break that tradition last year by inviting the Pakistan PM to New Delhi to join him on his very first day in office. If the abrupt suspension of the talks three months later was a setback, observers of India-Pakistan relations knew it was a matter of time before Modi picked up the thread. The SCO summit, welcoming India and Pakistan as full members, was indeed a good place to restart the dialogue. Partition and its geopolitical consequences made Pakistan a great barrier between India and inner Asia. To be an effective player in Central Asia, India must find a way either through Pakistan, or around it. Through his five-nation tour of the region and in his interaction with SCO leaders, Modi focused on both options. The priority was indeed on deepening connectivity to Central Asia through Iran. The PM called for accelerated development of the International North-South Transportation Corridor (INSTC) established way back in 2000 by India, Iran and Russia. Ten other countries in Eurasia and Oman in the Gulf have become members since. Modi also sought India’s admission to the Ashgabat Agreement that involves Oman, Turkmenistan, Iran, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, and facilitates easy movement of goods across their borders. But Modi did not forget that India’s shortest route to Central Asia runs through Lahore, Rawalpindi and Peshawar. In a speech at the Nazarbayev University in Astana, the Kazakh capital, Modi hoped that “we can restore the traditional route to Central Asia through Pakistan and Afghanistan”. Despite repeated appeals from India and Afghanistan as well as the US in recent years, Pakistan has refused to grant overland transit facilities for India. One exception to Islamabad’s reluctance to advance transborder economic cooperation has been sustained negotiations with Delhi and Kabul on the TAPI pipeline. On the drawing board for nearly two decades, the pipeline is designed to bring natural gas from Turkmenistan to India through Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Maari’s Dhanush is how I always imagined him to be: Balaji Mohan Agency | Chennai Director Balaji Mohan has been known for his slightly offbeat and quirky sensibilities in films, clearly influenced by his exposure to international cinema. Which is why when he decided to go commercial, he wanted it in a certain way and thought Dhanush would fit the bill. The director has always liked Dhanush as an actor and the manner in which he has projected him in the forthcoming Tamil entertainer Maari, is exactly the way he has always wanted to see him. “I’ve been his (Dhanush’s) fan right from his first film.
I’ve always liked him as an actor as well as a star. The way he can carry himself in the offbeat as well commercial space is amazing. I’ve really liked him in his commercial avatars and I wanted

Let us begin by telling you what you were doing last night. Like most of India (and NRIs), you were tracking Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput’s wedding reception pictures via TV, phone and sundry social media. If you are the breed that needs to prepare for Monday mornings (schools are open and that pesky presentation first thing in the morning. Yeah yeah, we know), the couple’s wedding reception was
the first thing you came to know about when you reached office. After you perused the pictures and had your share of that vicarious pleasure, you turned to the person sitting next to you and discussed the pros and cons of what Shahid and Mira were wearing. The question got a stiff competition from another one: Which Bollywood star showed up and which didn’t. It was then probably followed up by a discussion on Shahid’s career trajectory.

Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer ‘Phantom’ gets rare applauses by Censor Board panel! Agency | Mumbai
Justin Bieber came to the realization this past weekend that not everyone wants to see his bare butt. The “Heartbreaker” singer, 21, took to Instagram on Sunday, July 12, to apologize for a since-deleted photo he posted of his naked body, shot from behind. Biebs took down the talked-about image less than
a week after he shared it. The pop star originally captioned the shot “Look,” showing him standing stark naked on boat pointing out to the horizon over the ocean. The former child star shared a fully clothed photo of himself on Sunday to offer up an explanation for the deletion in the new image’s caption.
Director Kabir Khan’s much-delayed ‘Phantom’ finally got cleared by the Censor Board with a U/A Certificate, making it the director’s second film in two weeks, after ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, to get the Censor Board’s green signal! Be it ‘Kabul Express’,’New York’ or ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, the director is known taking political issues and converting them into a Bollywood drama, and the same in expected from ‘Phantom’ which stars Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif.

Agency | New Delhi Higher food prices pushed India’s retail inflation to an eight-month high in June, government data showed on Monday, dampening hopes of an interest rate cut by the central bank in the near future. Retail prices rose to 5.4 per cent year-onyear in June, higher than the 5.01 per cent print in May and the 5.1 per cent annual rise predicted by analysts in a Reuters poll. Food prices were up 5.48 per cent from 4.8 per cent in May. “The surprising factor for CPI to go up was that it was food driven ... we expect the RBI (central bank) to be on hold for now,” said
Sonal Varma, India economist at Nomura.A stronger-than-expected rise in prices is likely to fuel fresh inflation concerns for the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which targets inflation of 6 per cent by January. Economists said the latest number will dampen enthusiasm for what would be the year’s fourth rate cut, particularly given a patchy start to the rainy monsoon season. A Reuters poll released last month showed economists expected the RBI to keep the policy rate unchanged at a policy review next month, but cut it by 25 basis points in the final quarter.

Seventh seed Indian overcame stiff resistance from American Daniel Nguyen before prevailing 7-5 4-6 7-6(5) in the rain-hit final that lasted three hours and 31 minutes, turning out to be the longest summit clash in the ATP Challenger Tour history. The match had been moved

He came up with some great shots and to be honest I’m just happy that I fought so hard. It wasn’t the best tennis today, but I’m happy I fought and got through that one,” he said. Since winning Delhi Open in February, Somdev has played 13 tour-

I’ve been struggling this year and it’s not been for a lack of hard work. I’m working really hard on my game. It’s nice to come out here and get a win. Daniel made it so hard. He’s such a good competitor, such a good player.” His ranking has been hit badly following the barren run but today he jumped 25 places to 148.

England bowl outAussies for 242, win 1st Ashes Test by 169 runs Agency | Cardiff
After setting an improbable second-innings target of 412, England bowled out Australia for 242 to win the first Ashes Test by 169 runs at Sophia Gardens on Saturday, wrapping up the win inside four days. The Australians began the day needing to chase the Ashes-record target with plenty of time in hand, but were all out in 71 overs, an hour after tea. Riding high from a World Cup triumph, a sweep of the West Indies in the Caribbean, and comfortable wins in their warm-up games, the visitors, as the Ashes holders, were favoured to win. But they were out-played on a slow pitch, out-led, and made to pay for errors by an England side which
Armed with what Goran Ivanisevic calls a “Balkan mentality” and “positive arrogance”, Novak Djokovic replaced the heartbreak of losing the French Open with the joy of hoisting the Wimbledon trophy in the space of just five weeks. That “positive arrogance” has made Djokovic a formidable athlete who, rather than being distracted by the joys of married life and fatherhood, has become a human winning machine who keeps showing up come finals day. In fact since the birth of his son Stefan last October, the world number
one has lost only three of 61 matches and collected eight titles, including the Australian Open and Wimbledon. “Ever since I got married and became a father, I haven’t lost many matches, I won many tournaments. I suggest that to every player, Get mar-
ried, have kids, let’s enjoy this,” a beaming Djokovic said as he celebrated his first wedding anniversary by winning his third Wimbledon title. He lifted the gold trophy after a 7-6(1), 6-7(10), 6-4, 6-3 victory over second-seeded Swiss great Roger Federer.

ary Martina Navratilova and in 2010 with Zimbabwean Cara Black. “Coming out and playing like that on one of the most prestigious courts that we’ve grown up with and winning a title like that, again for the second time in a Grand Slam without losing a set, that is really special,” he said after the Wimbledon crown. Paes has the men’s doubles title in his bag which he won at the same venue with Mahesh Bhupathi in 1999. Overall, the Calcutta-born now has eight mixed doubles and eight men’s doubles Grand Slam titles.
‘That’s really special’: Leander on Wimbledon title with Hingis rebounded from a heavy defeat to New Zealand at Leeds in its last Test.

Australia’s chase turned on the stroke of lunch, when David Warner was out leg-before to offspinner Moeen Ali for 52. Instead of reaching the break at 97-1 with a partnership purring between Warner and Smith

With an aim to kick-start the ecosystem for water innovation and technology in India, the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad’s technology business incubator – Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship (CIIE) – is launching the country’s first water accelerator. The CIIE is launching it in partnership with Asian Development Bank, Arghyam Foundation, Luminous Water
Technologies’ Livpure, the World Bank’s Water and Sanitation Program, and the other reputed purification solution providers. The program aims to accelerate, nurture, and invest in early stage startups by selecting 10 to 12 teams that have the potential to become scalable and competitive enterprises. Selected start-ups will be provided intensive capacity building, mentoring and advisory support by leaders in industry,
government, academia and practitioners. Mudit Narain from CIIE who leads the program said, “This program is unique in several ways. First, the Government of Rajasthan is expected to review and award pilots to the top startups to field test their solutions. Second, the program is going to run a separate track to support non-profits looking to become financially independent or scale rapidly. Finally, it also invites pas-
sionate individuals looking to venture out in the water and sanitation sector and plug them into existing companies to launch new products”. Applications will be invited from early-stage startups working on breakthrough technologies and business models in various areas such as water supply, sanitation, treatment and purification, water management and mobile technology, irrigation and Internet of Things (IoT).

Eight persons, including two children, Sunday drowned in Narmada river at Nareshwar, a famous pilgrimage and picnic site around 60 km from Vadodara in Karjan taluka. The deceased were part of a group of 33 people from four families, living in the Shiromani residential society in Ahmedabad, who travelled to Nareshwar on a mini bus to take bath in the river, which, according to Hindu scriptures, is considered holy, especially during the ongoing Purshottam lunar month. Locals said that the group
opted to take bath on an isolated river bank, little knowing that the area was dangerous. “Nine people from the group entered the river one by one and hardly had they gone a few feet away from the river bank when they started drowning as the river was deep and the bank was dangerous. Only one person could come out alive while the rest drowned,” a local said.
