Salman Khan acquitted in chinkara poaching cases
(H.S.) | New Delhi Actor Salman Khan has been acquitted by the Rajasthan High Court in the 1998 chinkara poaching case. Salman Khan’s sister Alvira arrived in Rajasthan High Court with their lawyer. Khan and seven others were accused of killing a blackbuck and chinkara in two separate incidents. Khan had earlier appealed before the High Court challenging the lower court’s verdict that had handed him one and five years’ impris-
onment in the two separate cases of poaching. The verdict in the blackbuck poaching case is still pending. In February 2006, Salman Khan was convicted under the Wild Life Act for poaching a Chinkara at Bhawad near Jodhpur during the shooting of film Hum Saath Saath Hain in September 1998. Salman Khan was sentenced to one-year imprisonment and was slapped a fine of Rs 5,000. Besides Salman Khan, actors Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Tabu and Neelam were also charged in the poaching case. In 2007, Salman was sentenced to five years in prison by the Rajasthan High Court for hunting a blackbuck during the shooting of Hum Saath Saath Hain.

Godhra riots at Viramgam : Three people had been killed
The division bench overruled a trial court’s 2011 verdict that had acquitted three of the seven and convicted the remaining four for lesser offences.
Naranbhai Samantbhai Bharwad, Udaji Ranchhodbhai Thakor, Valabhai Gelabhai Bharwad,
Viththal alias Kuchiyo Moti Bharwad, Mulabhai Gelabhai Bharwad and Merabhai Gelabhai
Bharwad. Last month the HC had convicted them under sections 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and other sections of the IPC. The trial court in its order in 2011 had convicted four of them for lesser offences and acquitted three others. Of the ten people accused in the case then, the trial court
awarded life term to two, lesser punsihment to four and acquitted the other four. On June 28, the HC convicted seven persons of murder and rejected the revision petition of two accused who were already given life sentence by the lower court. Of the four who were acquitted, the High Court upheld the acquittal of only Devabhai Bharwad.
It found other three guilty of murder. The case dates to February 28, 2002, a day after Godhra train fire incident. A mob of around 40 people had attacked a Muslim locality in Viramgam and tried to demolish a dargah. When Muslim residents tried to stop them, the mob attacked them, which resulted in the death of three persons.
President Pranab Mukherjee held my finger and guided me like a guardian: PM Modi (H.S.) | New Delhi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi heaped praises on President Pranab Mukherjee, who completed four years in office today, calling him a “guardian and mentor” who held his finger and guided him on various subjects when he took over as prime minister two years ago. “I was new to the world of Delhi.

historic building during his four-year tenure. He said Mukherjee made Rashtrapati Bhavan a converging point between a common man and highest seat of power. “Important thing is my political background is different, President’s political back-
ground is different but we can feel every moment in his company how people with different political upbringing can work shoulder to shoulder to in democracy,” he said. Modi also said effort is made almost all the schemes of his government are implemented in President’s Estate, which he called a “village with a popu-

(H.S.) | New Delhi The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed a rape victim based in Mumbai to abort her 24-week-old abnormal foetus after the Centre clarified that a 20week cap on termination of pregnancy is not applicable if the pregnant woman’s life is found to be in grave danger. At the hearing, a Bench of Justices J.S. Khehar and Arun Mishra perused a confidential medical report on the condition of the woman, identified as

only ‘Ms. X’, filed by a team of doctors at the K.E.M. Hospital. Justice Khehar read out the findings in the report to Attorney-General Mukul Rohatgi, who was summoned to assist the court in the case. The doctors had concluded that the pregnancy was 23 to 24 weeks old. It said that continuance of the pregnancy would involve “grave danger” to the life of the pregnant woman. Mr. Rohatgi clarified that though The Medical
Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971 mandates against abortion after pregnancy crosses the 20-week threshold, there are exceptions. “If the mother is in danger, there is no time limit for conducting an abortion. If you have to save life, you need to cross the limit of 20 weeks,” Mr. Rohatgi submitted. The victim had challenged Section 3 (2) (b) of the 1971 Act, which allowed abortion only if pregnancy was under 20 weeks old and done on the advice of at least two registered medical practitioners, who should certify that the pregnant woman was risking “grave injury to her physical and mental health” or there was a danger of the child being born with a severe mental or physical handicap.

Amid a strain in the relationship between India and Pakistan, South Block has classified the Indian mission in Islamabad as a “non-school-going mission”. This means that diplomatic staff can no longer make their schoolgoing children stay with them. However, their spouses are allowed to stay in Islamabad. There are about 60 schoolgoing children of Indian diplomats, who will have to discontinue their studies in Islamabad schools. The decision could compel many staffers at the mission to return to India for the education of their children.

According to officials, around 50 children of officials and staff at the Indian High Commission study at the International School of Islamabad, popularly known as the American School. Many children from the diplomatic community attend this school. Ten other children study at the Roots International School. Apart from the deteriorating security situation, another reason which guided the decision was the fact that children of Indian diplomats cannot ordinarily travel outside Islamabad for school trips.

The recent violence against Dalits in Gujarat is a fallout
Though atrocity against the Dalits is a perennial affair, the incident in Gujarat on July 11 adds three new dimensions to the phenomenon. One, unlike in the past, the Dalits from the tanner community were accused of cow slaughter and beaten up by the gaurakshaks not only in their village, Samadhiyala, but also taken to Una town, more than 30 km away where they were tied to a car opposite a police station and flogged brutally. The cow vigilantes also forced a Muslim boy to thrash the Dalits to prove that Muslims are anti-beef. The video of the incident circulated on social media to give a message that those who do not follow the gaurakshaks diktats will be punished in the same manner. Second, generally the cases of atrocities in the past — and even today— used to be related to economic issues related to land, wages, water, housing and/or the practice of untouchability. This time, the central issue was a willy-nilly resistance of the Dalits to follow the neo-Brahminical nationalist cultural practices conceived by Hindutva champions. Various outfits of the Sangh Parivar tell people what to eat, drink, dress and monitor their behaviour. The self-styled gaurakshaks keep a watch on cow slaughter. Four months ago, they organised a demonstration in Rajkot and gave a memorandum to the collector demanding that the cow be declared rashtramata. They also demanded a complete ban on the sale of beef in the country. As a part of this campaign, they have been asking tanners to give up their occupation. Third, the protest against the incident and demand for justice by the Dalits is unprecedented. For the first time in Gujarat, as many as 20 young Dalits attempted suicide to express their anger and get justice. It showed their sheer helplessness. Moreover, for the first time in recent history, not only all the Dalit castes but also many OBCs, Muslims, and human right groups joined the protest. The state government took the Una incident as a routine matter for the first eight days. This government has a tendency to ignore Dalit problems, or for that matter, the problems of the deprived communities. For example, in 2003, the government of Gujarat declared before the Supreme Court that the state was free from manual scavenging. But a study carried out in 2006 shows that there were 2,456 households and 4,333 persons engaged in manual scavenging. Half of them clean public toilets and remove night soil from roads. Nearly 20 per cent of the manual scavengers still carry human excreta in baskets, buckets or handcarts. On an average, more than 15 scavengers die every year of carbon monoxide poisoning while cleaning sewage blockages. The extent and nature of untouchability in different spheres in rural Gujarat has not declined significantly since the formation of the state. In fact, the practice has made its way to new sites: Primary schools, drinking water facilities and public transport. In as many as 96 per cent villages, the SCs do not have access to the village burial grounds and in nearly every other village, the SCs do not get access to common grazing land. On the basis of a study of more than a thousand villages, Navsarjan, a civil society organisation, demonstrated, in 2006, that the extent of untouchability varied from 10 per cent to over 50 per cent villages in public health centres, public water facilities, mid-day meals, sitting arrangement in government schools and panchayat offices.

If Hepatitis B virus is not treated properly in the 5% cases, it could lead to death as it turns into liver cancer and cirrhosis. In 2012-13, more than 7,000 people who donated blood were tested positive for Hepatitis B. There are people, who are carriers of Hepatitis B but are unaware of it. It is known as a silent killer as it damages the liver gradually and takes years to do it. Sawai Man Singh (SMS) hospital professor (gastroenterology), Dr S S Sharma, said, “In 5% of Hepatitis B cases, there are chances of liver damage. They need proper treatment. While in other cases, they carry the virus, but they do not carry the disease.” Moreover, health experts claimed that Hepatitis can be prevented by taking certain precautions. It is a disease, which spreads from bloodto-blood contact. Unprotected sexual contact is another cause for its infection. Also, a pregnant woman could transmit the virus to her baby.

what he thought was best for his team by batting a second time so that England would not have to chase any sort of target against Yasir Shah in the fourth innings. The question is whether not enforcing the follow-on was in fact the best decision for his team, and the almost universal opinion outside the England dressing-room - with its own unique perspective and inherent insecurities - was no. It is 99 per cent certain

The cats will also need a trainer when they grow up. Chirag says that his Macaw eats only fruits and nuts and has to be taken out for a drive at least twice a week. “Her cage has a bulb that helps me regulate the temperature - if it gets cold, I have to switch the bulb on to make it warm. If it’s too humid, she has to be bathed twice a day,” he explains. Apart from food, her calcium supplements and minerals are also expensive so he spends about Rs 4000 every month.
