Adviser, DC file affidavits before HC
Chandigarh, July 3 The court had also directed the adviser and DC-cum-estate officer to file affidavits as to why the matter, highlighted in the report, “Adviser, DC clash over ownership rates”, should not be entrusted to the CBI for investigation. Adviser Lalit Sharma in his affidavit claimed that the news report was false, tendentious and reckless in its disregard for truth, which was easily verifiable from the record. He stated that he had no objection to a CBI inquiry or investigation into the matter so as to unravel the truth. Though DC R.K. Rao stated that there was no need for a CBI probe into the matter, as it was just a matter of difference of legal interpretation of the rules and regulations, which could be settled by invoking jurisdiction of appropriate forum. It was highlighted in the adviser’s affidavit that the adviser did not directly deal with and had never directly dealt with any file submitted by the DC and no file or noting or any file submitted or prepared by the DC was ever put directly to him. Only the UT home secretary and finance secretary put up files or noting on files directly before the adviser and adviser’s notings were put up, in appropriate cases, before the administrator. The affidavit stressed that “there was no question of deponent (advisor) overruling the DC’s notings on the files as reported in the news item in question. The adviser clarified that the matters of resumption/cancellation of sites or properties was dealt with or heard and decided by him only in a quasi-judicial capacity of a revisional authority only. It was highlighted in the affidavit that all nine cases referred to in the news item, including the case of Shiv Kumar Bhandari, were heard and decided by the adviser in a quasi-judicial capacity and not in an administrative capacity. The administrative files of the estate office were not part of court record of the revisional authority. Another important fact highlighted was that Rao was not even holding the office of the DC when the orders of the resumption/cancellation were passed by the assistant estate officers concerned in these nine cases. The affidavit termed the news item “an exercise of overheated imagination”. Rao, too in his affidavit, stated that the “news item wrongly states that his file notings were overruled by adviser and that the deponent (DC) refused to admit Bhandari’s plea on the condition that once he had surrendered the allotment letter, the right to re-allotment and possession ceased thereupon”. He further asserted that there was never a point of clash between him and the adviser as projected in the report.

No more lip-locks for Hashmi
Chandigarh, July 3 Showbiz held jumbled sway today as the people crowded into the Terrace Hall at Taj Chandigarh, Sector 17, clicking photographs and taking autographs but all that a little later and not before Hashmi extolled the virtues of their recently released film ‘Awarapan’. “It is an emotional film with strong content where action is simply the sub-plot” is how Hashmi describes the film. No wonder then that he considers his character in the film of a strong silent lover as “a dream role and an author-backed one”, which he should have done earlier. As for his new look complete with long hair and stubble, it “happened” because he was “sick” of looking the same in his earlier movies and wanted the “rugged appeal” to correspond with his new role. What is more, he seems pleased that now even his performances are being noticed and not just the number of lip-locks he delivered on-screen. “The hype on the kisses amused me because that was made the focal point of every film I did,” he smiles. Not anymore since his marriage off-screen, to a “wife who is in complete contempt of the film-industry, something which I found refreshing about her,” has put a stop to his ‘nefarious’ activities on-screen. Today he is “honoured” to be part of a new phase in cinema that is changing the face of its hero. “There are no goody-goody heroes who drive films. They are now more multi-dimensional, even possessing rough edges like my role in the film Gangster,” he avers. But this actor never really wanted to act. “I was assisting director Vikram Bhatt for his film ‘Raaz’ (starring Bipasha Basu and Dino Morea) and Mahesh Bhatt offered me a film. I was 22 years old and decided to give it a try, after refusing the film a few times,” he adds. His kind of films are, “pure entertainment” he says. “Socially relevant films are boring and not my scene. I might not last as an actor if my producer and distributors are not happy with the final product,” he insists. The ‘final product’ also includes the music of the film, an aspect he has been extremely lucky with, what with most songs in his films becoming major chart busters. This one is no different either with the songs released on Saregama and sung by Pakistani band Roxen Ban (featuring Mustafa Zahid and his soulful ‘Toh Phir Aao’) dominating airwaves. Interestingly, Hashmi believes music, script and dialogues are now essential ingredients for a hit film. “They help in building a persona of the actor and without these elements, an actor today would be nowhere.” A fact that reiterates his co-star Mrinalini’s success what with her cameo role which came down to just a song in Prakash Jha’s ‘Gangajal’ getting her a coveted three-film offer with Vishesh Films. Today this former model from Delhi believes she has “someone smiling on her from above” and promises not to get lost in the melee of so many wannabe actors trying their luck in the film industry. “I intend to be remembered. I am going to bring to the screen a great performance every time. At least I am going to try,” she smiles. As for her first pay-cheque for this film, it went into shopping at Bangkok for shoes and bags. After all, a girl has got to look good in Bollywood to make it!
