Inner conflict rules 'Where There is a Will'
Chandigarh, February 13 The comedy play by the enterprising playwright Mahesh Dattani depicted the contemporary life in all its varied manifestations with moral intents under the direction of thespian Dr Rana Nayar and Dr Surbhi Goel. The family of protagonist Hansmukh Lal Mehta, a self-made Gujrati businessman, his good for nothing stammering son, a nagging daughter in-law, sick but caring docile wife and his mistress unknown to all, constitute the family with dysfunctional relationships. With an eye on the wealth of Mehta, the daughter in-law administers him wrong medicines and like wise the internal conflict goes in the mind and soul of each one and the whole drama depicts a clash between attitudes, loyalties, conceptions and passions. The playwright had to borrow the spiritual themes to bring back the dead protagonist to life through soul commanding the execution of his 'will' and run the family affairs in his autocratic way. Ironically, the son stammered while delivering dialogues and not while conversing on the telephone. However, the situational comedy sequences were enlivened with crisp dialogues full of racy idioms, slangs richly fraught with satirical and didactic expressions. Vikram Thakur playing as Ankur Grover excelled as also Ritika Malhotra, Aastha Ahluwalia, Megha Bhardwaj and Gurtal Kahlon.

GCM to review Colonel’s acquittal
Chandigarh, February 13 Orders to reassemble the
GCM, presided over by Brig J.S. Rawat, Deputy Director, Ordnance Services, 11 Corps, were received yesterday at the Tibri military station, where the GCM had been held. The GCM had, in December, found the officer not guilty of all eight charges faced by him. The revision order, issued by the General Officer Commanding, 15 Infantry Division, had dropped one of the charges faced by the officer, Col D. Mitra, Commanding Officer of an air defence unit. The revision of findings would now be done on seven charges. After the deposition of 21 prosecution witnesses and 17 defence witnesses over about three months, the court had come to the conclusion that none of the charges levelled against Colonel Mitra could be proved. Legal experts said though the court might not have found evidence against the Colonel during the trial, the revision could have been ordered on the basis of some high court judgements, which placed a lot of emphasis on statements of the complainant in matters pertaining to such cases. The woman officer had met the
GOC-in-C Western Command, Lt-Gen Daljeet Singh, at Chandi Mandir a few days ago.
