Haryana cut in quota for judges
stayed CHANDIGARH, Feb 22 — A Division Bench of the Punjab and Haryana High Court today stayed the operation of notification issued by the Haryana Government reducing the quota of direct recruits in the Superior Judicial Service appointments (to the rank of Additional District and Sessions Judges) in the state. The Haryana Government had, vide notification dated March 6, 1991, reduced the quota of direct recruits from 33 p.c. to 25 p.c. Again by a notification dated September 19, 1997, this quota was further reduced from 25 p.c. to 15 p.c. In the writ petition-filed by three practising HC advocates, Dr Attar Singh Kalkal, Ram Avtar Sheoran and Mrs Adarsh Paul Kaur Rana, the two notifications issued by the Haryana Government were challenged on the ground that the state government could not alter the ration for making appointments to the Superior Judicial Service without consultation and consent of the High Court because the state government's powers to frame rules under Article 309 of the Constitution were subject to the provisions of Chapter VI, Part VI, of the Constitution. It was submitted by the petitioners that the state government had issued the impugned notifications without holding consultation with the High Court. The petitioners had also submitted that the quota for appointment to the Superior Judicial Service should be in tune with the quota fixed for appointment of High Court Judges and had prayed for fixing a quota of 40 p.c. for direct recruits. In their written statement, the state government had taken a stand that the proposal to reduce the percentage of direct recruits was sent to the High Court but it had not agreed with the proposal. It was submitted by the state that "consultation" did not mean "concurrence". In the written statement filed by the Punjab and Haryana High Court through its Registrar, it was submitted that the state government had not consulted the High Court before issuing the impugned notification. The Division Bench
comprising Mr Justice V.K. Jhanji and Mr Justice Amar
Dutt Sharma admitted the writ petition for hearing by a
Division Bench and stayed operation of the impugned
notification. |
19 Haryana blocks declared backward CHANDIGARH, Feb 22 — The Haryana Cabinet today took a number of decisions to accelerate the pace of development of industry in the state. Most of the decisions taken by a Cabinet meeting presided over by the Chief Minister, Mr Bansi Lal, amounted to amendments of its industrial policy announced on August 1, 1997. The Cabinet, which also decided the excise policy for the next year, withheld its announcement until tomorrow. It has now been decided to extend the benefit of sales tax deferment on expansion or diversification of the units. As per the amendment, in the high potential zone, the benefit of sales tax deferment will be 100 per cent of the fixed capital investment for small units and 75 per cent of fixed capital investment for medium and large scale units with a time limit of five years. Similarly, in medium potential zone, it would be 125 per cent for small scale units and 100 per cent for medium and large scale units with a time limit of seven years. In low potential zone, it would be 150 per cent for small scale units and 125 per cent for medium scale and large scale units with a time limit of seven years. The benefit of sales tax deferment on expansion or diversification will be made applicable with effect from July 31, 1997. The Cabinet also decided to include 19 blocks in 10 districts in the list of backward areas so as to encourage the development of industry in these areas. These blocks are Jind and Julana in Jind, Dadri-II, Bhiwani and Kairu in Bhiwani district. Sirsa and Nathusari-Chopta in Sirsa district, Jathusana in Rewari district, Kaithal and Kalayat in Kaithal district, Sahajadpur in Ambala district, Pehowa and Babain in Kurukshetra district, Karnal and Gharaunda in Karnal district, Meham in Rohtak district and Tohana, Ratia and Bhuna in Fatehabad district. Now 99 blocks would be covered under backward areas out of a total of 112 blocks in the state. The Cabinet also decided that industrial units which had taken effective steps with regard to land, building and machinery would be given the benefit of sales tax exemption or deferment under the old policy. Such units should have purchased land for the project or taken on lease or rent. Fifty per cent of the cost of civil works of the approved plan of the building should have been completed and paid by July 31, 1997. The industrial units would be required to furnish approved plan of the building in case the unit is located in the controlled area as defined by the Department of Town and Country Planning. In case the unit is located outside the controlled area, a plan approved by the approved architect should be submitted. Besides, 50 per cent of the machinery should have been booked by placing confirmed orders with at least 10 per cent amount paid as advance as on March 31, 1998. To get benefit under the old industrial policy of 1992, all these above-mentioned conditions should be fulfilled. In case any one of these conditions is not met with, the industrial unit would be given the benefit of incentives as per the new industrial policy of 1997. The Cabinet also decided to include a provision in the industrial policy so as to ensure that the industrial units provide employment to persons of Haryana domicile. The industrial units which avails of the incentives of sales-tax exemption or deferment in the scheme will have to employ at least 75 per cent of the unskilled work force and give preference to other categories of candidates from amongst the Haryana domiciles. The above mentioned employment percentage will have to be maintained by the industrial units during the period of availment of such incentives. If the unit fails to fulfil this condition, the amount of incentives will be liable to be recovered as land revenue arrears. The Cabinet also granted sales tax exemption on the sale in Haryana of Lijjat Papad manufactured by Karnal-based Shri Mahila Griha Udyog Lijjat Papar unit, the only village industry in Haryana being run entirely by women for providing self-employment opportunities to the women from economically weaker sections of the society.

to allow concessional rate of sales tax at 4 per cent on
the purchase of scientific equipment and instruments made
by Guru Jambheshwar University, Hisar. |
