Film city project to Parsvnath challenged
Chandigarh, January 18 In their petition, M/s KRBL Ltd and others have sought setting aside of the order of the UT Administration of December 10, 2006, awarding the project to Parsvnath Developers.

‘Flawed’ power tariff policy challenged in
HC
Chandigarh, January 18 In their petition, Mr S.D. Bali of the All-India Forum for National Reconciliation, Lt Col R.P. Sharma (retd) and Wing Cdr J.M. Kaushal (retd), both representing the Chandigarh Defence Colony Welfare Association, have sought directions to either convert the present bimonthly electricity billing system to a monthly one in conformity with the tariff plan, which is monthly, or to convert the monthly tariff plan to a bimonthly one in conformity with the bimonthly electricity billing system. They have claimed that the present system of bimonthly electricity billing with a monthly tariff plan is detrimental to the interest of the consumers. Submitting details of the flawed billing policy, the petitioners, represented by advocate Vikram Bali, have pointed out that the rates fixed as per the new tariff policy are in two slabs. Consumption in Slab I attracts the rate of Rs 1.65 per unit up to a maximum of 150 units. Any consumption beyond 150 units per month falls in Slab II where the rate is Rs 2.90 per unit. They have stated that while finalising the bill of consumers whose consumption is more than 150 units, all units (and not just those that are beyond the 150 unit-limit) are charged at Rs 2.90 per unit. This, the petition adds, is arbitrary and illegal. It may be recalled that many organisations have from time-to-time protested the flawed tariff policy, claiming that the same is anti-common man.

Criminal intimidation bailable or not, city debates
Chandigarh, January 18 Under the existing notification issued by the Administration’s Home Department, the punishment for criminal intimidation is a non bailable offence. The present notification is valid till February 2007. Members of the District Bar Association have hinted at taking legal recourse if the offence was not made bailable. Pointing out that an amendment made by the Administration by exercising its powers under the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) to declare the offence as non bailable was wrong, the Bar Association had few months back petitioned to the UT Administrator to withdraw the amendment. “As a result, the notification was being ‘misused’ by the Chandigarh police to book persons. A number of innocent persons were booked by the police under Section 506 of the IPC,” said Mr K.S. Lamba, Secretary of the District Bar Association, adding that the Bar would take legal recourse if the administration extended the notification. Mr Krishan Mohan, Home Secretary, said the issue was being reviewed as the present notification was valid till February 2007. Sources in the administration said the Police Department had strongly opposed the punishment being made bailable as it was a law and order issue. Various judgements and amendments made by different state governments were quoted at today’s meeting on the issue of extending the notification for the non bailbale offence by another year. Mr Gaurav Yadav, SSP, Chandigarh, said, “We are in favour of the offence being non bailable”. He, however, refused to comment on the outcome of today’s meeting. Few months back, the District Bar Association had written a letter to the UT Administrator stating that the Home Secretary, Chandigarh, had wrongly interpreted the provisions of Section 10 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1932. The Act allows the state government to make an amendment by issuing a notification under the Criminal Procedure Code of 1989 and not the Criminal Procedure Code of 1973. The Secretary of the Bar had quoted a judgement of the division bench of the Allahabad High Court. The amendment carried out under Sub-Section (1) and (2) of the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1973, was illegal as the Act had been passed by the Parliament. For amending the Act, the assent of the President had to be taken.
