In 1797, It was not allowed to file a apple to the Sadar Diwani Adalat in cases of personal property , to reduce the work load of Sadar Diwani Adalat .
But later it was realized that this is not helping to reduce the work load of courts.
Therefore by Regulation V of 1798 [ Governor General Wellesley ] it was decided that appeals could go to Sadar Diwani Adalat only when the subject matter , case matter involved more than Rs.5000 in value irrespective of whether real or personal property was involved.
Governor General Wellesley understood that for good governance ,good justice system judiciary and executive powers should be divided . The process was started by the Lord Cornwallis and GG Wellesley took it further.
GG wrote the letter to Court of Directors regarding this , Wellesley himself wrote about the reducing the power of the post which Governor General enjoyed .
Wellesley demanded the separation of Sadar Adalat and Government .
I am reproducing few lines of Governor General Wellesley what he wrote ,
It is equally necessary to the happiness of the people , to the prosperity of the country [ India ] and to the stability of the British Government , that such laws as the Governor General in council may sanction in his legislature capacity ,should be administered with ability , integrity , impartiality and expedition , all the provisions made by the British Constitution for precluding the legislative and the executive powers of the state from any interference in the administration of the laws , are not only applicable to the government of this country , but , if it were possible demand to be strengthened .
All the powers , legislative ,executive and judicial were concentrated in the hands of the Governor General in council and Lord Wellesley realized that this is wrong and not good for any nation .
Lord Wellesley penned his Minute on the 12th March 1801 demanding and advocating separation of the Sadar Adalats from the Governor General and council.
He said that in current system Government, executive can abuse the powers he got , this is one of the reason executive should not enjoy this power.
After this By Regulation II of 1801 the Sadar Diwani Adalat and the Sadar Nizamat Adalat were to presided over by three judges appointed by the Governor General in council.
The chief judge was to be a member of the council but neither the Governor General nor the commander in chief was to occupy this office.
In this change only problem or defect was that still chief justice was a member of the Governor General Council .
In 1803 the jurisdiction of the Sadar Adalat was extended to the Oudh .and in next 2 years to the Bundelkhand.
In 1805, 2nd Time Lord Cornwallis became Governor General who started the process of separation of powers between the judiciary and executive in 1793.
In 1805 by Regulation X, a complete separation between the sadar adalats and the government was effected by Lord Cornwallis .
But again in 1807 during the period of Lord Minto , by regulation XV enacted on 23 July 1807 modified the constitution of the adalat by increasing the number of the judges from 3 to 4 and one judge should be member of the governor general and council other than Governor General or Commander in chief .
Regulation XII of 1811 provided for appointment of a chief judge and such number of judges to the Sadar Adalats as the Governor General and council deem fit as per the work load of sadar adalats . This regulation does not mention that judge should be member of council .
Lord Minto realized the importance of separation of powers between the executive and judiciary .
Regulation XXV of 1814 laid down the necessary qualification for the appointment of judges of the sadar adalats .
The Regulation laid down that no person was to be deemed qualified to be appointed as a judge of the sadar adalats unless he had previously officiated as a judge of a provincial court of appeal or of a court of circuit for a period of not less than three years and had been employed in the judicial department or in offices requiring the discharge of judicial functions whether of civil or criminal nature for a period of not less than nine years .
This provision was rescinded in 1823 by Regulation IV as it was proving difficult to find qualified persons to be appointed as judges . The sadar adalats subsisted till 1862 when they were merged in the newly constituted High Court at Calcutta .
Oudh was ceded to the company by the Nawab Vizier in perpetual sovereignty by a treaty on November 20, 1801 .
The Province of Oudh was divided into seven districts namely Moradabad, Bareilly, Etawah, Farrukhabad, kanpur , Allahabad and Gorakhpur.
On March 24, 1803 Same Judicial system was introduced in the Oudh .
The number of Pending cases in various courts on the 1st January,1802 was as follows .
• Courts of Appeal – 882
• District diwani adalat – 12,262
• Registrars – 17,906
• Munsiffs – 131,929
In 1803 selection of Munsiff was made more easy . The judge of the diwani adalat got the power to appoint the Munsiff with the approval of the sadar diwani adalats . Not only zamindar but other qualified Indians also got right to become Munsiff .
Till 1811 no distinction was made between revenue and judicial services .
District judges were appointed without consideration of any judicial experience as a result servants from the revenue, political , military or postal department servants suddenly became the District Judge who failed to do justice with their job because of lack of judicial knowledge and experience.
In beginning servants got the initial training at the Fort William college.
Lord minto decided that junior servants were to make a choice between the judicial, revenue or postal service .Once an officer made his choice , he was to stay and receive promotions in the department only .
Thus it tried to stop the postal department servant suddenly becoming the Judge .
On January 1, 1814, the total number of cases in all courts stood at the 139,271.
See the thinking of British Rulers , what they said about this situation ,
We should be very sorry , that from the accumulation of such arrears, there should ever be room to raise a question , whether it were better to leave the natives to their own arbitrary and precipitate tribunals, than to harass their feelings and injure their property by an endless procrastination of their suits , under the pretence of deliberate justice .
Delay in Justice Resulted in –
Bribery , corruption and extortion , taking laws in own hand , no fear of law.
In 1813 , the charter of company was renewed .
Today in India do we find such a thinking in Indian law makers and politicians ?

This song is tribute to all the teachers in this world who are shaping the future of this world.
In India as per customs and traditions we are taught that Guru that is teacher comes first before the God,
Now days so called culture and religion protectors forgot this tradition, still project themselves as the culture protectors.
If Teacher will tell them you are wrong these Talibani Indians will not hesitate to beat that teacher or record his private bedroom activity and make him commit suicide.
Lyrics of the song To Sir with Love, watch the lyrics video below the lyrics with movie pics To Sir with Love with Sidney Poitier (1967).
Lulu - To Sir with Love Lyrics
Album: Best Of-From Crayons to Perfu
Those schoolgirl days, of telling tales and biting nails are gone,
But in my mind,
I know they will still live on and on,
But how do you thank someone, who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try,
If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters,
That would soar a thousand feet high,
To Sir, with Love
The time has come,
For closing books and long last looks must end,
And as I leave,
I know that I am leaving my best friend,
A friend who taught me right from wrong,
And weak from strong,
That's a lot to learn,
What, what can I give you in return?
If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start,
But I, would rather you let me give my heart,
To Sir, with Love

Today, Gunmen armed with grenades attacked two mosques belonging to a minority Islamic sect, Muslim Ahmadi community during Friday prayers in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore.
Britain's Sky News reported that about 2,000 people were inside one of the sites at the time of the attack.
The Express Tribune newspaper reported that four blasts were heard at one of the mosques.
The mosques were several miles apart from each other in two residential neighborhoods in Pakistan's cultural capita
Geo Television reported five people had been killed in one of the mosques, in the Model Town area, with 10 injured.
Founded by Ghulam Ahmad, who was born in 1838, the Ahmadi sect has a number of unique views including that Ahmad himself was a prophet and that Jesus died aged 120 in Srinagar, capital of Indian-ruled Kashmir.
Ahmadis are known as Qadiani, and have tens of thousands of members.
The Ahmadis believe that Muhammad was not the final prophet, but they call themselves Muslims. This is against the view point of majority Muslims.
The government has declared them a non-Muslim minority and they are prohibited from calling themselves Muslims or engaging in Muslim practices such as reciting Islamic prayers.
Many Islamist militants believe it is permissible or honorable to kill non-Muslims, or even those Muslims who do not share their extreme views.
"Firing is still going on. The attackers are on the roof of the mosque and they are shooting at police. One of the attackers climbed atop the minaret of one of the mosques, firing an assault rifle and throwing hand grenades, TV footage showed.
Update 1 -
Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Punjab has claimed the responsibility for the attack, Geo News reported.
Police and paramilitary forces have surrounded the two mosques and taken up positions on roads and roof tops around the mosques.
Security forces have nearly completed the operation at Model Town. Ten
people have been reported killed and several injured in the attack at
this place. Seven terrorists attacked Model Town mosque and police
have killed five one of them escaped.
At least 30 persons killed in this attack.

This is the second Maoist attack on civilians this month.
At least sixty five passengers were killed and 200 injured when 13 coaches of Mumbai-bound Gyaneshwari Express derailed in West Midnapore district at 1.30 am after after Maoists sabotaged the train tracks. Five of these coaches were also hit by a speeding goods train.
The incident occurred at 1:30 am when the train was running between Khemasoli and Sardiya stations, about 135 km from Kolkata.
Angry passengers said the first signs of relief came only around 5 am, three-and-a-half hours after the incident.
The Maoist-backed People's Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) has claimed responsibility for the derailment of the train.
"The PCAPA have left two posters near the rail tracks clearly owning responsibility for the derailment of the Kurla-bound Gyaneswari Express," IGP (Law and Order) S Karpurakayastha said.
The posters read, "We earlier demanded withdrawal of the joint security forces from Jangalmahal (West Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia) and end of CPM atrocities, but those demands were not met."
Another poster demanded immediate withdrawal of the joint forces from the area. Police have seized both posters.
Relief officials used gas cutters to extricate trapped passengers and bodies from the mangled remains of the affected coaches.
While Home Minister P Chidambaram has said that train derailment in West Bengal appears to be a case of sabotage, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee says bomb blasts as part of a “calculated attack” caused the Gyaneshwari Express to first derail and then get hit by a goods train.
Five of the 13 derailed coaches fell on an adjacent track and were hit by a goods train coming from the opposite direction
In Calcutta Inspector General of Police (Law and Order) Surojit Karpurokayastha said that according to preliminary investigation, fish plates were found removed at the derailment site.
Indian Air Force helicopters were pressed into service at the accident spot to airlift some of the injured to the hospitals.
Nine of the coaches which were not damaged in the blast took the injured and the other passengers to Kharagpur where they were admitted to hospital.
A relief train left Kharagpur with a team of 12 doctors and 20 paramedics as also two doctors from the Kalaikunda airbase, the officials said.
The Prime Minister announced Rs two lakh to the next of the kin of the deceased and Rs 50,000 for the injured.
Railway Minister Banerjee announced a compensation of Rs 5 lakh for the next of kin of each of the dead and Rs 1 lakh for the injured.
Helplines have been set up at

India - One More Type Discrimination on Girls by Bangalore Collages
India - One More Type Of Discrimination on Girls by Bangalore Collages -
India - One More Of Type Discrimination on Girls by Bangalore Collages
Reality Views by sm –
Thursday, May 27, 2010
On the name of religion or culture or family honor from thousand of years in India,
Indian females are not treated equally or at par with the male child .
Bangalore is a metro city of India, considered as a city of modern thinking.
If this happens in a metro city, consider what is happening in Indian villages and small towns.
Girls are equal to boys in everything , whenever girls got the right guidance and education we have seen that they perform at par with boys , many times beating boys and winning the competitions or scoring more marks in any exam.
When girls do badly in the eyes of religious parties they are beaten in the pub or they are beaten on the Valentines Day or they are even married of with the donkey.
Religious parties do not like to give equality to females. They want to keep females as a cow producing bulls to rape the cows of India.
Let’s come to the point -
India is a country where to fool the Indian female, they say female is the goddess of education and on the other hand she was forbidden to study.
Wow, what a great politics by males to control the females.
Snake died without breaking a stick.
Last few years in India we are witnessing that girls are getting more marks and percentage in any exams or any stream of studies.
In India admission to the collages are given on the basis of marks or percentage.
So if student has more marks, he or she will be given preference.
Then collages have reservation where few seats , admissions are given to the particular boys or girls of particular caste or religion because they belong to that caste even if they are rich , billionaires or millionaires they are given admission with less marks because they belong to that xyz caste which enjoys reservation .
Now in India few Indian pre-university collages, mainly from Bangalore metro city have started to discriminate with girls, girls are punished for getting more marks and studying hard for the exams.
The reason to punish intelligent girls or girls who score more in exam is that so the boys will get the admission to the collage.
So these collages do not keep equal percentage of marks requirement for male and female students.
MES Pre-University College of Arts, Commerce and Science colleges, has different cutoffs in science and commerce for boys and girls.
Senior assistant of the college, Purushotham, said that the physics, chemistry, maths and biology (PCMB) cut-off for boys is 594, while it is 599 for girls. The commerce cut-off is 553 for boys and 580 for girls.
This way girl is punished for getting more marks.
In another reputed city college—and not for the first time either. “The cut-off is decided depending on the applications received. This year, for PCMB (for the ISCE board), its 89.29% for boys and 92.29% for girls.
At National PU College, officials have been segregating cut-offs based on gender for four years.
I came to read on few blogs and in comments section where many Indians compared this cut off list with the Reservation.
Please do not be confused, this is not reservation, this is discrimination.
There should be only one cut off list for boys and girls. Already we have reservation on caste and religion which is wrong.
If girl is poor and uneducated she is punished and if girl is modern and educated she is punished for doing fashion or expressing liberal thoughts or equality thoughts or actions
Now another sector, education has started to punish the girls for scoring more marks in exams.
For doing this type of Discrimination Do you think concern collages should be fined or punished some way ?
But I think no one will be punished , we will wait until some scholar girls commit suicide for not getting admission into good collage after getting more marks than boys.
Lets Hope this will not happen in India , We will not see that day in India.

The Indian Institutes of Technology (popularly known as IITs) are institutions of national importance established through an Act of Parliament for fostering excellence in education.
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) conduct a Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) every year for the admission to its B-Tech and other courses offered at the IIT
The exam is conducted by the various IITs by a policy of rotation. It is one of the toughest engineering entrance exams in the world with a success rate of around 1 in 45.
Around 4.72 lakh candidates appeared in JEE 2010 on April 11, 2010.
There are fifteen IITs at present, located in
Bhubaneswar,
Bombay (Mumbai),
Delhi,
Gandhinagar,
Guwahati,
Hyderabad,
Indore,
Kanpur,
Kharagpur,
Madras (Chennai),
Mandi,
Patna,
Punjab,
Rajasthan
Roorkee.
The primary objectives behind such institutions are to:
• Build a solid foundation of scientific and technical knowledge and thus to prepare competent and motivated engineers and scientists.
• Create environment for freedom of thought, cultivate vision, encourage growth, develop personality and self- discipline for pursuit of excellence.
• Kindle entrepreneurial streak.
Each institute has well-equipped modern laboratories, state-of-the-art computer network and well stocked technical library.
Teaching methods rely on direct personal contact between the teachers and the students and the use of traditional and modern instructional techniques.
Students live in a pleasant and intellectually stimulating environment with people having similar goals and aspirations, which is an exciting and unique experience.
Credit-based academic programmes offer flexibility to students to progress at their own pace. A minimum level of performance is necessary for satisfactory progress.
The medium of instruction is English. These institutions offer courses leading to Bachelor's degree in a number of engineering, technological and scientific disciplines.
M.Sc. Integrated courses in pure and applied sciences and M.Tech. Integrated courses in a few disciplines are also offered by some of these Institutions. In addition, some IITs offer Dual-Degree M.Tech. Programmes.
The admissions to the Undergraduate Programmes at these institutions for all Indian and Foreign nationals are made through the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE).
In Short about IIT JEE examination –
There will be two question papers, each of three hours duration.
Both the question papers will consist of three separate sections on Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics.
Questions in these papers will be of objective type.
The answers for each of the questions are to be recorded on a separate specially designed machine-gradable sheet of paper (ORS-Optical Response Sheet).
While answering each of the questions the candidate is expected to darken the bubble against correct answer(s) using hard black (HB) pencils only.
In some sections, incorrect answers may be awarded negative marks.
ELIGIBILITY FOR IIT - JEE –
The date of birth as recorded in the high school/first Board/ Pre-University certificate will be accepted. If the certificate does not mention the date of birth, a candidate must submit along with the application, an authenticated document indicating the date of birth.
The qualifying examinations (QE) are listed below:
i) The final examination of the 10+2 system, conducted by any recognized central / state Board, such as Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi; Council for Indian School Certificate Examination, New Delhi; etc.
ii) Intermediate or two-year Pre-University examination conducted by a recognized Board / University.
iii) Final examination of the two-year course of the Joint Services Wing of the National Defence Academy.
iv) General Certificate Education (GCE) examination (London/Cambridge/Sri Lanka) at the Advanced (A) level.
v) High School Certificate Examination of the Cambridge University or International Baccalaureate Diploma of the International Baccalaureate Office, Geneva.
vi) Any Public School/Board/University examination in India or in any foreign country recognized as equivalent to the 10+2 system by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU).
vii) H.S.C. vocational examination.
viii) Senior Secondary School Examination conducted by the National Institute of Open Schooling with a minimum of five subjects.
ix) 3 or 4 year Diploma recognized by AICTE or a state Board of technical education. In case the relevant qualifying examination is not a public examination, the candidate must have passed at least one public (Board or Pre-University) examination at an earlier level.
Minimum Percentage of Marks in QE
Candidates belonging to GE, OBC and DS categories must secure at least 60% marks in aggregate in their QE. Whereas, those belonging to SC, ST and PD categories must secure at least 55% marks in aggregate in the QE.
The percentage of marks awarded by the Board will be treated as final.
If the Board does not award the percentage of marks, it will be calculated based on the marks obtained in all subjects listed in the mark sheet.
If any Board awards only letter grades without providing an equivalent percentage of marks on the grade sheet, the candidate should obtain a certificate from the Board specifying the equivalent marks, and submit it at the time of counseling/ admission. In case such a certificate is not provided then the final decision rests with the Joint Implementation Committee of JEE-2010.
Important Points to note
(i) One can attempt JEE only twice, in consecutive years. That means one should have attempted JEE for the first time in 2009 or will be appearing in 2010.
(ii) Those who have accepted admission after qualifying in JEE in earlier years by paying full fees at any of the IITs, IT-BHU, Varanasi or ISM, Dhanbad, are NOT ELIGIBLE to write JEE at all irrespective of whether or not they joined in any of the programmes.

Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) – Made in India Advance Chopper, Fighter
Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) – Made in India Advance Chopper, Fighter –
Reality Views by sm –
Wednesday, May 26, 2010
May 23, India joined the few countries who have capability to produce and manufacture advance fighter helicopter or chopper with the successfully test flight of the Light Combat Helicopter (LCH)
Know important facts about LCH -
Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) is a combat helicopter developed in India by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for use by the Indian Air Force and the Indian Army.
In October 2006 Funds for the design and development of the LCH to meet the requirements of the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force were sanctioned
The first Technology Demonstrator (TD-1) of the LCH flew the 20 minute flight from HAL's Helicopter Complex, Bangalore on 29th March 2010.
The second flight took place on April 28, 2010
The third test flight of the LCH was successfully made on 23rd May 2010
In future it is possible that Cheetah and Chetak will be replaced with the LCH , if government wants to save the money, and decide not to import the choppers to replace the cheetah and chetak.
The LCH belongs to the 5.5 ton class.
LCH prototype development was based on the concept of design, ground testing and fabrication concurrently. This resulted in building the 1st machine within 40 months.
It’s expected that in year 2012 or 2013 LCH will be inducted in Indian arm forces, Indian Air force.
HAL has a firm order to deliver 65 LCH to the IAF and 114 to the Army
The LCH is a derivative of the HAL Dhruv, which was inducted into the Indian armed forces.
LCH will be fitted with a 20 mm Turret gun and can carry Rockets, Air-to Air / Air-to-Ground missiles on the weapon stations.
Its Shakti engine, jointly developed by HAL and Turbomeca of France, has been optimized for high altitude operations.
The helicopter would have day/night targeting systems for the crew including the Helmet pointed sight and Electro-optical pod consisting of CCD camera/FLIR/Laser range finder/laser designator.
The LRF & LD facilitate measurement of range to the target & guidance to the Laser guided Missiles respectively. A Digital Video Recorder would enable recording of the vital mission for debriefing purposes. The turret gun skewing is controlled by the helmet mounted sight of the gunner.
The LCH is fitted with Self Protection Suite consisting of Radar/Laser Missile warning systems and Countermeasures dispensing system.
The helicopter would be fitted with a Data Link for Network-centric operations facilitating transfer of the mission data to the other airborne platforms and ground stations operating in the Network, thus facilitating force multiplication.
The performance features of the LCH i.e. rate of climb, cruise speed, service ceiling are on par with pache, Kamov 30 or Mi-35.
LCH can hit a target six kilometers away with utmost precision both the ground and in air.
Designed for anti-tank and anti-infantry roles with a maximum speed of 275 kmph (148kt), it will also be capable of high-altitude warfare since its operational ceiling will be 16,000 to 18,000 feet (5,490m).
India faced the Kargil war in 1999 which made Indians aware that Indian needs dedicated fighter helicopter, chopper.
The DRDO is reported to be developing the HELINA missile, a Nag derivative with an extended range of 7 km, to augment the helicopter's air-to-ground capability.
The LCH is currently reported to be 580 kg over its target weight. HAL is struggling to trim the weight in order to keep the aircraft in compliance with the QRs.
“We will find ways of cutting down TD-1 by 180-200 kg; TD-2, which will fly in mid-2010, will be another 100 kg lighter; and TD-3, which will be ready by end-2010, will shave off another 65-75 kg,” Managing Director of HAL’s Helicopter Complex, R Srinivasan, told Business Standard in September.
Features of Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) –
• Crew: 2
• Length: 15.8 m (51ft 8in)

Part 16 – Indian Legal History – Defects and Changes Made in 1793 Plan
Part 16 – Indian Legal History – Defects and Changes Made in 1793 Plan
Reality Views by sm –
Monday, May 24, 2010
Cornwallis left India after establishing the plan of 1793.
Cornwallis did not stay in India to see the actual implementation of plan of 1793.
After Cornwallis left Shore took the charge and became the Governor General
The Problems and Defects of Plan of 1793 –
Large volume of Cases and Pending Suits, which delayed the Justice.
Example – In 1795 the number of Pending suits in district Adalat in Burdwan was 30 thousand.
But this shows that British People gave power and confidence that yes Indians can also demand justice and in result increase of suits.
The good thing was that Collectors were aware about the problem that numbers of pending suits are increasing and it will destroy the purpose of Court and Justice System.
Same Was Happening in Bengal, Bihar and Orissa increase in filing of cases and increase in number of Pending suits.
In Revenue cases delay meant collection of revenue was affected.
In three provinces of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa only 26 diwani adalats were established.
The jurisdiction of registers and munsiffs was very small.
There was need to increase the number of courts and judges but Shore did not increase, he and his team believed that already courts are more and this is temporary phase, but shore was wrong, as the plan of Cornwallis encouraged the more and more Indians to file the suits as courts were became accessible to Indians.
Regulation VIII of 1794 –
To decrease the work load of diwani adalats Regulation VIII made the decrees of the register final in all suits for money or personal property valuing up to Rs.25. But Diwani adalat got the discretionary power to revise the decision of registers.
An appeal had been provided to the provincial Courts of Appeal from registers in all cases of real property and in cases for personal property over Rs.25.
The Regulation XXXVI of 1795 lay down that appeals from the registers were to go to the district diwani adalats and not to the provincial courts of appeal.
The decisions of the district adalats were to be final in all such cases and no further appeal was to be sufficient for purpose of justice.
Only two appeals had been provided for from the decision of the munsiffs who decided cased up to Rs. 50.
First appeal – District Diwani Adalat
2ND appeal – Provincial court of appeal
But again this resulted in delay and in 1795 decisions of the District Diwani Adalats declared to be final in all such cases.
But after all these efforts the filing of suits and number of Pending suits kept increasing.
Because of financial matter Shore did not increase number of the courts and judges
Cornwallis had abolished Court fees so Poor can file cases and Appeals in 1793.
Shore thought that as there was no court fee people filed wrong cases; false suits .Thus government felt that imposition of court fees will limit the filing of wrong cases.
Thus Regulation of XXXVIII of 1795 again imposed court fees.
One anna in the rupee was to be paid by a plaintiff for filing suits before a munsiff.
Thus court fee was fixed according to the amount of suit.
Regulation of 1797 increased the court fees on suits, witnesses, exhibits and appeals.
This regulation converted the institution of court fees into stamp duties.
This again made justice costly for Indians, and kept poor Indians away from demanding justice.
This is even noted and written by white judges.
Many Indians started to think that justice is costly so do not demand justice.
On June 25, 1835 Lord Macaulay also criticized the levy of fees on institution of suits and at various stages in their progress.
In 1856 the second law commission suggested abolition of court fees but nothing changed and today in 2010 also we are following same.
In 1795 Company Government decided to introduce the same system of administration in the Banaras province.
Thus series of Regulation were passed on 27th March 1795.
The Banaras city was formed into a district and rest of the Banaras province was divided into three districts of Mirzapur, Gazipur and Jaunpur.
In Banaras Company saw that Brahims were treated as Gods so it was decided that no brahimin was to be punished with death penalty for any crime.

Cornwallis left India after establishing the plan of 1793.
Cornwallis did not stay in India to see the actual implementation of plan of 1793.
After Cornwallis left Shore took the charge and became the Governor General
The Problems and Defects of Plan of 1793 –
Large volume of Cases and Pending Suits, which delayed the Justice.
Example – In 1795 the number of Pending suits in district Adalat in Burdwan was 30 thousand.
But this shows that British People gave power and confidence that yes Indians can also demand justice and in result increase of suits.
The good thing was that Collectors were aware about the problem that numbers of pending suits are increasing and it will destroy the purpose of Court and Justice System.
Same Was Happening in Bengal, Bihar and Orissa increase in filing of cases and increase in number of Pending suits.
In Revenue cases delay meant collection of revenue was affected.
In three provinces of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa only 26 diwani adalats were established.
The jurisdiction of registers and munsiffs was very small.
There was need to increase the number of courts and judges but Shore did not increase, he and his team believed that already courts are more and this is temporary phase, but shore was wrong, as the plan of Cornwallis encouraged the more and more Indians to file the suits as courts were became accessible to Indians.
Regulation VIII of 1794 –
To decrease the work load of diwani adalats Regulation VIII made the decrees of the register final in all suits for money or personal property valuing up to Rs.25. But Diwani adalat got the discretionary power to revise the decision of registers.
An appeal had been provided to the provincial Courts of Appeal from registers in all cases of real property and in cases for personal property over Rs.25.
The Regulation XXXVI of 1795 lay down that appeals from the registers were to go to the district diwani adalats and not to the provincial courts of appeal.
The decisions of the district adalats were to be final in all such cases and no further appeal was to be sufficient for purpose of justice.
Only two appeals had been provided for from the decision of the munsiffs who decided cased up to Rs. 50.
First appeal – District Diwani Adalat

UPDATE – Wednesday, May 26, 2010
The black box of the ill-fated Dubai-Mangalore aircraft was found after three days of extensive search on Tuesday morning.
The DGCA said the black box is in perfect condition and there is no damage.
The officials are hopeful of retrieving all data that the flight data recorder in the box had recorded, which will give a clear picture about the events that led to the crash.
The probe will take at least 15 days since the information has to be decoded. It is likely to be taken to New Delhi for decoding process.
The black box is, contrary to its name, painted orange in color so that it is easily traceable after a crash.
The black box or the flight data recorder, which is mounted at the tail of the aircraft, can help the probe team reconstruct the events that led to the crash. The box is surrounded by multiple layers of insulation and is water, fire and pressure proof.
Investigators had recovered the Cockpit Voice Recorder and Digital Flight Data Acquisition Unit in a damaged condition from the wreckage on Sunday.

UB40 - Red Red Wine Lyrics and Video
UB40 - Red Red Wine Lyrics and Video –
Red Red Wine original version, a classic song is done by Neil Diamond.
Diamond's version reached number sixty-two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1968.
The famous story is that diamond was vacationing in the islands when he first heard UB40’s hit and didn’t recognize it as his own song.

Land Mines a Deadly Weapon – Under Standing Land Mines
It is very easy to make land mine, very cheap to make and use land mines.
Normally mines placed in ground by hand but mechanical machines can be also used to bury mines in ground.
Land mines are explosive devices that are designed to explode when triggered by pressure or a tripwire.
Arm forces used the mines to decrease the moving speed of enemy army as well as destroy their tanks.
A land mine can be triggered by pressure, movement, sound, magnetism and vibration.
When mines are laid in group, then it is called as mine fields. There are many types of mines, but most important are
Anti-personnel (AP) mines and Anti-tank (AT) mines
Anti tank mines contains more explosive material than the anti personal mine.
As more explosive material it needs more pressure to explode.
Anti personal mines use the pressure of a person’s foot as a trigger but tripwires are also used.
Modern anti vehicle mines use a magnetic trigger to enable it to a detonate even if tires did not touch it.
Advanced mines are capable to recognize the friendly vehicle and enemy vehicle, thus own army can use that mine field, it will not blast, mines explode only when the enemy vehicle or tank comes into contact.
What is Detonator?
Detonator is a small amount of explosive used to ignite larger amounts of explosive.
Ignite = Good example is our gas stove in kitchen, we use pencil like igniter to start our kitchen stove burner.
What is Magnetic Mine?
Magnetic Mines are equipped with magnets; they get triggered when they come into contact with large number of metal.
Blast Mines –
Mines are buried few inches in ground and are triggered with a pressure of more than five kg, as soon as some one steps on pressure plate mine gets triggered.
Main use – Not to kill but damage when purpose becomes to destroy fully and kill it becomes the anti tank mine.
Once land mines are buried in ground they stay active for more than fifty years.
To find and clear the mine is a very slow process, to find a mine machines are also used as well as dogs and metal detectors
Which type of explosive material is used in mines?
Mainly TNT AND RDX is used
TNT: Trinitrotoluene, a high explosive.
Chemical explosives, nuclear explosives etc. Different types of explosive material is available and used as per the need of army .
Plastic is used in the land mines so it becomes very difficult to find a land mine using metal detector.
156 countries have signed the Ottawa Treaty, as per this treaty signatory countries agreed not to manufacture, stockpile or use anti personnel mines.
China, India, Israel, Pakistan, Russia and the United States have not signed this treaty.
Maoists used the land mines to create fear and panic. To restrict the movement of CRPF Jawans.
Good example – Watch the Border movie, you will get the full idea how land mines work. Death, sacrifice of Sunil Shetty, as he carries land mine with him near the Pakistan tank and puts below the tank.

Letter From PUNE METRO JAGRUTI ABHIYAAN (PMJA) to Pune Municipal Commissioner Regarding Pune Metro
Letter From PUNE METRO JAGRUTI ABHIYAAN (PMJA) to Pune Municipal Commissioner Regarding Pune Metro
Reality Views by sm –
PUNE METRO JAGRUTI
ABHIYAAN (PMJA)
Objection Petition
To,
Municipal Commisioner,
PMC, Pune
WHY I, AS A CITIZEN OF PUNE, AM OPPOSING
THE PRESENT FORM OF PUNE METRO
Dear Sir,
No doubt that Pune needs a good public transport system, hence I welcome any
Mode of public transport which would be people-friendly and of long term use for
Solving the serious traffic problems Pune is facing.
However, there has to be Transparency and wide public consultations before taking any decision in the Matter.
The PMC city fathers have cleared the Rs.4, 000 odd crore, 15 km Pune Metro
Corridor between Vanaz and Ramwadi (Phase-1) without taking people into
Confidence.
We need to know whether the proposal made by the DMRC (Delhi Metro
Rail Corporation) will be really useful for us, what impact it will have on us
And our city and then decide whether we want it.
Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad (or rather the entire Pune Metropolitan Region)
Ought to have a composite traffic and transportation plan because the two
Neighboring cities are very closely interlinked and thus have a bearing on each
Other. Yet PCMC has already backtracked and wants to have its own separate
Metro. So the metro plan for Pune alone may either prove ineffective or
Problematic.
Please explain to us the details of the viability of the Pune Metro in its
Present form in terms of passenger traffic and route efficacy.
Here are some Queries we need answers to:
• The Pune Municipal Corporation states that citizens will be burdened with
Additional civic taxes after the construction of Pune Metro. We want the
PMC to make it very clear what the additional financial burden on
Citizens would be, the period for which we will have to pay it etc
Before decision about the project is taken
• The DMRC proposal provides only one recommendation which has been
Blindly accepted by the PMC. We would like to know why the PMC has
Not asked for various options from the DMRC before making the
Decision, which is a costly, long term, irreversible commitment for
The city.
• The DMRC also does not explain how the proposed Metro is going to be
Integrated with the existing and proposed traffic and transportation
Channels. As a result, we, the citizens’ fear that the Metro in its
Present form would not be cost-effective and may even worsen the
Existing mess in Pune rather than easing it.
• This Pune Metro Corridor will be an elevated one, meaning it will run
Above the surface of the road. This means, Jangli Maharaj Road, Karve
Road, Sassoon Road and Pune Station chowk will have monstrous
looking flyover-like structures on which the metro will run. There will be
wide pillars to support these flyovers at the centre of the existing road
which will reduce the carriageway width on the already congested
roads. We need to know whether this is practical and feasible on
such high density arterial roads.
• As per the DMRC report, there will be 16 Metro Stations, one each at
every km, on both sides of the road, each one to be seven to eight storeys
high, each one about 140m long & 35mtrs wide which will come up on the
roadsides of Jangli Maharaj Road, Karve Road and Sassoon Road. Due
to insufficient clear space for stations, there will be demolition of existing
buildings on roadsides and cutting of hundreds of trees. We need to
know whether such large scale destruction of the existing skyscape
is judicious in order to have an elevated metro and whether having
metro stations at such short distances makes any sense to Pune’s
traffic plan?
• As per the DMRC report, no vehicle parking place can be provided at the
stations as these are located in congested areas. People with their own
vehicles will hence not be able to use the metro. We need to know
whether a detailed plan is in place as to how to access these Metro
Stations since individual vehicles cannot be parked.
• The Metro Stations would be very close to existing buildings without
sufficient natural ventilation, light and circulation space between the
structures. In case of fire mishap, quick access to the site and rescue will
be hampered. We also need to have from you a fire safety plan for the
area in and around the metro station.
• As per the study of DMRC report done by experts, we are given to
understand that Metro alignment is not possible at existing road turnings like Paud Phata junction, Khandujibaba Chowk, Sancheti Chowk and
Railway Station. This means metro will deviate from road, causing further
demolition of buildings including few heritage ones to accomodate the
turning radius. Is this justified? We need to know whether experts have
studied the engineering plan and its feasibility.
• Elevated metro on road will also mean permanently closing all future
options along the route for public transport, road infrastructure
improvement as well as beautification etc. We feel this is not in the city’s
interests. We need to be assured that we do not sacrifice our quality
of life as a citizen, which is already at its nadir in Pune.
• Elevated Metro will mean large-scale shifting of surface and underground
utilities such as water, sewage, electricity, telephone, storm water drain,
traffic signals etc which will add to the severe traffic congestion and
unsafe road conditions. We, the citizens are not ready to face such
disruption in services for years together as the Pune Metro project,
which the city fathers are in a hurry to implement, proceeds
shoddily. None of the major civic works undertaken by PMC till date
have ever been completed on time - one glaring example being the
BRTS.
• 4 FSI has been proposed for 500 mtr stretch on both sides of metro
corridor to raise funds for metro. This densification will distort the fabric of
the city and affect quality of life. We need to know on what grounds you
have decided to crumble Pune’s infrastructure to such a serious
level and whether you have involved the town planning department
in this proposal
We support the following suggestions/objections raised by Pune
Technical Coalition Committee:
1. There is duplication between the Metro rail routes and other modes of
transport such as BRTS, existing railway corridors and other networks. We
must use all available transport resources optimally integrating Metro,
BRTS, Railway, Bus, Cars, Autorickshaw, Cycles, and Pedestrians, to
create a comprehensive network that covers most of the work and
dormitory areas of Pune.
2. The choice of the elevated option rather than underground option
seems short sighted and will destroy the quality of built environment and
urban aesthetics and hence image of city of Pune. The Metro should be
UNDERGROUND rather than elevated as proposed.
3. The proposal of granting a uniform
4 FSI alongside the Metro and BRTS to fund the proposal appears arbitrary. Alternative options of funding must be explored.
Metro is a very costly project and decision will impact city for 100 years and more. Hasty decision if proved wrong later would be disastrous for the city.
Ultimately it is we citizens who will suffer. Hence, we expect
complete transparency before you take decision of the metro
project.
We demand formation of a Pune Metro Citizen Committee comprising
experts, PMC and citizens as a monitoring body for the decision
making process and implementation.
We demand a public meeting like Lok Adalat in big auditoriums like
Bal Gandharva where we want the PMC officers to answer all
questions and doubts put forth by citizens.
We appeal to you not to float any tenders or award work contract for
the Metro in its current form as per DMRC Report.
For the above reasons, I strongly object to the present proposal for
Pune Metro.

Maoists Strike Again - 50 Dead Blow up the Bus in Dantewada
Reality Views by sm –
Monday, May 17, 2010
Maoist guerrillas blew up a bus in a forested stretch of Chhattisgarh killing At least 35 special police officers (SPOs) and civilians were killed, it is feared that nearly 50 people died in this attack.
The bus was destroyed completely by a powerful landmine as it made its way on the Dantewada-Sukma Road in Dantewada district, about 450 km south of Raipur and blast created 10-feet deep crater
This place is the part of Bastar which is heavily forested and where tribals live.
This is first time that Maoists killed the civilians; this clearly sends the message to locals that do not travel with police or CRPF persons.
Before this attack their leader Koteshwar Rao alias Kishenji demanded the central government stop the anti-rebel Operation Green Hunt and the 'killing of oppressed people'.
The Present Dantewada district came into existence in 1998.
According to the ancient story of Ramayana, Ram had taken the shelter in Dantewada during his exile, that time this place was known as Dandkaranya.

Hiranandiani - Powai Area Development Scheme or Scam What Happened
Hiranandiani - Powai Area Development Scheme or Scam What Happened
Reality Views by sm –
Next year this scam will complete 25 years.
A division bench of the Bombay High Court is currently hearing a PIL filed by aggrieved citizens against the developer.
Hiranandani had entered into an agreement with the MMRDA and the state to develop the 230-acre land under the Urban Land Ceiling (Regulation) Act in 1986. The builder was required to build smaller, affordable flats for low- income groups.
Hiranandani was given the Powai land at 40 paisa per sq ft.
Just 40 Paisa, inquiry should be made into this first?
How can government sell the land so cheap, when land is given so cheap why MHADA was not given that land for development?
This is just one case; nearly every government land is sold like this. It’s given free of cost and money is given under table.
But who cares where everyone is for sale in India, Indian culture is great.
The developer built small flats, but amalgamated and sold them as luxury flats of
2,000 to 4,000 sq ft each.
Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) permission was granted for only 40 to 80 sq m flats, the developer Hiranandiani built sprawling apartments of
200 to 400 sq m.
The penalty proposed on this has been at Rs 946 crore by the MMRDA
Developer Hranandani was not granted permission for building commercial
Complexes but developer did not care about this and he build the commercial complexes.
The commercial buildings include a hotel, a hospital and a shopping complex.
The authority has recommended a further penalty of Rs 597 crore on the developer for building commercial complexes
An inquiry revealed that instead of the specific 50%, just 15% of the built-up area was used for low-income housing.
The MMRDA also wants to levy a ‘penal premium’ of Rs 448 crore on the builder for using transfer of development rights (TDR).
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has recommended to the state urban development department that developer Hiranandani Group be made to pay a penalty of Rs 2,000 crore.
Now what will happen in this case?
Do you think our law will punish the guilty and will recover the penalty and fines?
I don’t think Government will ever recover the dues.
The case will be kept pending for thousand of years and one day slowly we will get to know that the builder has paid fine of Rs.20 or 200 crore and the matter is closed by government forever.
Interesting fact who are the owners of these flats, who bought them from the builder?
Are they politicians or film stars?
It’s reported that Hiranandani group paid Rs. 3 crore as a fine in year 2008.
An attempt to calculate fine may be its wrong but we will get the idea.
This is just regarding excess area, not other violations.
Excess build up area per flat 300 sq ft
Total number of flats = 3000
Total excess built up area = 9 lakh sq ft
Market rate multiplied into the excess area = Total fine amount or profit of the builder
Suppose market rate is 20 k then it will become 1800 crore.
Who says in India we got same laws for the poor and rich.
Jai Ho Rich, Poor Ho Gutter Main
We hope this time the inquiry will be done properly and quickly
What is lawful and right will done by government of Maharashtra as fast as possible?
It seems no political party is interested to end this matter.
Justice Delayed Justice Denied.

Next year this scam will complete 25 years.
A division bench of the Bombay High Court is currently hearing a PIL filed by aggrieved citizens against the developer.
Hiranandani had entered into an agreement with the MMRDA and the state to develop the 230-acre land under the Urban Land Ceiling (Regulation) Act in 1986. The builder was required to build smaller, affordable flats for low- income groups.
Hiranandani was given the Powai land at 40 paisa per sq ft.
Just 40 Paisa, inquiry should be made into this first?
How can government sell the land so cheap, when land is given so cheap why MHADA was not given that land for development?
This is just one case; nearly every government land is sold like this. It’s given free of cost and money is given under table.

Part 15 – Indian Legal History – The Plan of 1793
Part 15 – Indian Legal History – The Plan of 1793 –
In short Important points -
Seperation of Judicial and exective functions
Format of Regulation writing fix
Vakeels started to get the Sunnuds
Reality Views by sm -
Sunday, May 16, 2010
One of important point as per this plan was that no executive officer was to exercise any judicial power in any shape or form except at the higher lever.
The executive officers were to be placed under the jurisdiction of the adalats.
Even if the government is party in a matters of property it should be bound by court adjudication.
In this way for the first time in India the powers of Judiciary and Executive were separated and executive was placed under the judiciary.
Lord Cornwallis wanted that courts should become the protectors of the rights and property of individuals from corrupt officers as well as government.
Plan of 1793 tried to protect the private rights of every person, promote public advantage, general benefit.
The policy of separating the two functions judicial and executive was put into practice by Regulation II of 1793 which abolished the mal adalats and transferred the suits triable there to the mofussil diwani adalats.
The power of the administration of civil justice was taken away from the collectors and given the diwani adalats as well as collectors lost the power of deciding revenue cases.
The collectors lost all the types of judicial powers, functions.
Section X of the Regulation III made collectors and all the executive officers personally liable and could be required to pay damages to the injured party for violations of regulations, laws.
Lord Cornwallis gave power to the Indians to bring, file cases against the government if they felt their right was abused.
A diwani adalat was instituted in each district and in each of the three cities of Patna, Murshidabad and Dacca.
Regulation IV enacted the rules of procedure to be observed by the diwani adalats for receiving, trying and deciding cases.
The period of limitation was fixed at 12 years.
The system of appeal is necessary as a safeguard against wrong or unjust, decisions.
To enable the speedy justice to the people it was necessary that poor can approach to the judiciary.
Regulation V instituted four courts of appeal having seats at Patna, Dacca, Calcutta and Murshidabad.
Each Court to consist of three Company’s English covenanted servants, of whom two were to make a quorum.
These courts were to discharge the following functions.
To try civil suits send to them by government or sadar diwani adalat.
To receive the charges of corruption against the judges of the diwani adalat
To hear appeal if filed within three months from all decisions of the mofussil diwani adalat.
All people who were not satisfied with the District adalat decision got the right to file an appeal in this court.
The highest court in the judicial hierarchy was the Sadar Diwani Adalat in which Governor General and members of the council sat as judges.
If matter was above 5000 the parties got the right to file an appeal in the King in council
Munsiffs were appointed to try suits up to Rs. 50 in value.
Every ten miles one Munsiff was appointed so the complainant should not travel more than ten miles to file a complainat or suit.
With this Plan Cornwallis abolished the court fees, so poor Indians can also file the suits in judiciary.
Cornwallis to the steps towards development of Legal Profession
Regulation VII of 1793 took the first steps.
The Sadar Diwani adalat was to appoint pleaders to plead the cause of the litigants in the various adalats by issuing Sunnuds to them.
A vakeel guilty of promoting and encouraging frauds was to be suspended.
vakeel were to charge moderate fees and the chart of fees was laid down in the Regulation.
They were forbidden to charge more fees.
Any Vakeel who for personal gains delayed the suits, was prosecuted for damages, if found guilty he lost his professional job
Suitors could prosecute a vakeel in a court for any bad practice.
The court collected the fees of Vakeel and then paid it to the Vakeel.
Provision was made for appointment of government pleaders
Cornwallis introduced the Forms, style in which Regulation should be written.
Regulation XLI introduced them.
Each Regulation must have title expressing subject matter.
A preamble which will contain the reasons for the enactment of law.
If any regulation was changed the reasons were to be mentioned why it was changed.
Every Regulation should be divided in sections and sections in clauses.
Sections and Clauses were to be numbered.
The subject of each section and clause was to be written in the opposite margin in short.
All Regulation enacted in a year were to be recorded in the judicial department and then they were numbered and published.
These Regulations were translated into the Persian and Bengali languages so locals can understand them.
Regulation XLI started the process of compilation of a code of the Regulations
In 1772 Warren Hastings Started the process of separation of judiciary and executive and Cornwallis completed that process.

Rent a riot: TV sting exposes Pramod Mutalik -
Last year shri Ram Sena Chief Pramod Mutalik and sena members became culture protector by beating innocent boys and girls in a pub in Mangalore.
But on May 13th Media exposed Pramod Mutalik forever and proved him he is just running a mafia, gunda or criminal organization on the name of culture protection.
TV news channel Headlines Today and magazine Tehelka exposed the true character of
Shri Ram Sena organization and Pramod Mutalik.
Chief of Shri Ram Sena Pramod Muthalik was caught on camera for accepting bribe
To hold riots across Karnataka.
A Tehelka reporter Push Sharma approached Chief of Shri Ram Sena Pramod Mutalik and other eaders of the Shri Ram Sena affectation as an artist wanting quick publicity.
Chief of Shri Ram Sena Pramod Muthalik agreed to sabotage three art exhibitions in Karnataka and allegedly charged Rs. 60 lakhs for the act.
Vasant Kumar Bhavani, Sri Rama Sene's Bangalore head, suggested that Karnataka Minister for Wakf and Minorities Welfare Mumtaz Ali Khan be invited as the chief guest for the proposed exhibition.
Chief of Shri Ram Sena Pramod Muthalik said that he could hold riots in Muslim dominated areas in Bangalore and Mangalore.
We hope that now central Government will ban the Shri Ram Sena and declare it a terrorist organization.
We hope this time BJP, RSS and Karnataka state Chief Minister Y S Yeddyurappa will take strict action against such criminal organization and ban this organization.
Many people feel that as BJP is a religious party, it will not do any harm to Shri Ram Sena Organization or its chief Pramod Mutalik.

Update – Friday, May 14, 2010

4. Nokia X6
Free navigation and free in-car holder are included with:

15. Nokia had improved lot in E72 If it is compared with E71.
Nokia E72 Will cost you nearly 17000 Indian Rupees.
If you can afford to spend up to 19000 Indian Rupees Then, you must think about Nokia N97 mini before buying this phone.
Conclusion – Nokia E72 is good smart,solid business phone.
I will give E72 - seven Stars out of ten stars.

Free navigation, free in-car holder and in-car charger are included with:
1. Nokia N97
2. Nokia N97 mini

4. Nokia X6
Free navigation and free in-car holder are included with:
