Let Cabinet decide constitution of security cover tribunal: HC
Chandigarh, November 10 Justice Surya Kant also rejected the decision taken during a meeting of Punjab, Haryana and UT officers, in which it was decided that entrusting the job of providing security to a tribunal might not be practical and feasible. The HC wants to know from Punjab and Haryana its opinion on setting up a tribunal on the issue of providing security cover to VIPs and others. If the tribunal comes into the existence, the issue of arbitrarily granting, curtailing or withdrawing security cover is expected to be largely resolved. The case has already seen Surya Kant taking a serious note of the resources being exhausted in the process of providing security cover to the VIPs and others. Money should be spent on development projects rather than unnecessarily providing security cover, Surya Kant observed in the open court. Surya Kant was of the view it was a reflection of sycophancy. The judge also made it clear the court was aware how security cover was being provided to even contractors and property dealers after holding meetings. The HC had only recently issued directives to reassess the threat perception and downgrade the security cover on the basis of the fresh assessment.

still on against the Rathore,” he added. The CBI today filed a closure report in an Ambala court in two cases against Rathore, at present serving 18-month jail sentence for molesting teenager Ruchika in 1990, stating that it had found no evidence to support the allegations made by the Girhotra family. Ruchika’s brother Ashu had alleged hat he was taken home in a semi-nude condition and that false cases were slapped on him about auto theft at behest of the former DGP. In the second case, Girhotra had alleged that that after his daughter consumed poison on December 28, 1993, three years after she was molested, he was forced by Rathore, who was the then the Inspector General (Telecom), to take her to the PGI, Chandigarh. He had alleged that police had called the magistrate
during the post-mortem examination. The court has also issued notices to Subhash Girhotra and his son Ashu for levelling “unfounded
and baseless” charges against Rathore. Meanwhile, Anand Prakash and his wife Madhu Prakash, who are in the forefront fighting the cases against Rathore, feigned ignorance about the today’s development. He said their main focus was on the Section 354 IPC (molestation) case, which had been filed against Rathore in the Supreme Court.
