  • GOD Summoned To Court Lord Rama,Indra.

    In yet another proof of law being an ass ,Gods have been summoned to Court.

    Lord Rama and Hanuman.
    “”You failed to appear in court despite notices sent by a peon and later through registered post. You are herby directed to appear before the court personally”, Judge Singh’s notice said.’

    Instances.

    A judge in India has summoned two Hindu gods, Ram and Hanuman, to help resolve a property dispute.

    Judge Sunil Kumar Singh in the eastern state of Jharkhand has issued adverts in newspapers asking the gods to “appear before the court personally”.

    The gods have been asked to appear before the court on Tuesday, after the judge said that letters addressed to them had gone unanswered.

    Ram and Hanuman are among the most popular Indian Hindu gods.

    Judge Singh presides in a “fast track” court – designed to resolve disputes quickly – in the city of Dhanbad.

    The dispute is now 20 years old and revolves around the ownership of a 1.4 acre plot of land housing two temples.

     You failed to appear in the court despite notices sent by a peon and post 
    Judge Sunil Kumar Singh in letter to Lord Ram and Hanuman

    The deities of Ram and Hanuman, the monkey god, are worshipped at the two temples on the land.

    Temple priest Manmohan Pathak claims the land belongs to him. Locals say it belongs to the two deities.

    The two sides first went to court in 1987.

    “A court notice has been officially sent to Lord Indra, the Hindu god of rains, asking Him to explain within three days as to why adequate rains did not occur in the Hardoi district in Uttar Pradesh (UP), during this monsoon season. Is this a mischief or mockery played at the government procedures or against human beliefs? The government officials are still unable to trace the whereabouts.

    The court serves notice to Lord Indra, God of rain

    Indra, King of Devas.
    Lord Indra.

    Times of india dated 7th August, 2012, has reported about this mischief played in the north Indian state Uttar Pradesh. The notice has been typed in the official format and terminology, normally used by the government when it issues a summon. It is also duly stamped and signed by the concerned judicial authority, the Sub-District Magistrate of Savayajpur tehsil, in the Hardoi district.

    The envelope containing the summon notice is addressed as, “To, Lord Indra, the God of rains, Heaven”. It was sent to a revenue clerk, named Swatantra Kumar, directing him to find out the addressee and serve the summon personally to Lord Indra. The clerk returned the notice with the remark that it could not be delivered due to “technical reasons”. In fact, the concerned magistrate was on leave. Reports say that the notice was really a mischief, with fake stamp and forging signature…

  • The Beneficiaries of Coalgate Spread Among all?

    The picture of the maze of Coal block allocation is slowly emerging.

     

    The whole transaction is mired in Companies controlled by Companies.

     

    Right now the Jayswals of Nagpur seem to be what SUN  TVGroup was  to 2 G Scam.

     

    There seems to be a refinement over 2 G in that the spoils seem to be evenly distributed , yet the picture is unclear.

     

    There ought to be some fixer, masquerading as Lobbyist like Radia.

     

    Am looking into it.

     

    Story:

    Of the five companies raided on Tuesday, three belong to one family – the Nagpur-based Jayaswals. Split in two businesses, they are among the largest beneficiaries in the coal block allocations, holding 10 blocks with more than 900 million tonnes of coal. What is more striking is that they managed to get such a large allocation with only one project running on the ground.

    Outside Raipur, in the smog-filled industrial area of Siltara, exists a steel plant run by Jayaswal Neco company. Headed by the family patriarch Basant Lal Jayaswal, the company is managed by his son Ramesh Jayaswal. Until a few years ago, Ramesh’s elder Manoj was part of the Neco Group. But following a family feud, he branched out, taking control of companies under the banner of Abhijeet Group.

    Information acquired Right to Information activist Mahendra Yadav, has revealed that JAS Infrastructure Capital Pvt Ltd, one of the five companies against whom the Central Bureau of Investigation had registered first information reports, had acquired the coal blocks without signing a revised Memorandum of Understanding.

    The company is setting up the first private sector thermal plant in Bihar’s Banka district.

    The RTI has revealed that as per the MoU, the state-owned Bihar State Electricity Board could purchase power up to a maximum 25 per cent from the proposed power plant under the terms of an agreement.

    “But in case of Public Sector National Thermal Power] Corporation’s proposed power plant, the Bihar government had demanded 50 per cent power,” he said.

    Related.

    CNN-IBN has accessed the entire list of 58 coal blocks which are under the scanner. A close look at these companies indicates that they have political connections.

     

    • Abhijeet Infrastructure Ltd, which got three blocks in Jharkhand, is owned by a close associate of Congress MP Vijay Darda.

     

     

    • Another company JLD Yavatmal Energy which got a block in Chhattisgarh is also allegedly a front of Vijay Darda.

     

    Another Congress MP Naveen Jindal‘s company has non-producing blocks in Odhisha and Jharkhand.

    SKS Ispat & Power Ltd for which Union Minister Subodh Kant Sahay is already under fire had got two blocks as well.

    It is not as if there were just Congress leaders who were beneficiaries of coal block allocation. CNN IBN has in its possession documents which show Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda, allegedly signing 44 MoUs with private players for which an enquiry has been conducted. BJP president Nitin Gadkari‘s key aide and BJP Rajya Sabha MP Ajay Sancheti has been singled out by the CAG for causing a loss of Rs 900 crore to Chhattisgarh government. But there is another side to this story as well, beyond the political slugfest, some companies got coal blocks and sold them at much higher prices.

    CNN-IBN has exclusively accessed a letter written by Sandeep Gupta, Undersecretary of Coal Ministry, to a company in May 2012 which had got a block. Shree Virangana Steels Ltd changed its entire shareholding pattern to M/S topworth Urja and Metals Ltd. The letter read: At present, there is no shareholder from the original allocatee who were alloted the coal blocks. Allotment of coal blocks by the government is for captive purpose and is not for profiteering. Commercial use of coal is not allowed. The sale of shareholding for profit defeats the entire purpose.”

    Sources say that most companies which were declared to be involved in sponge iron business are the ones who were chosing the route of squatting. Get a block and then sell it to the highest bidder later. The real impact of this entire scam will be the difficulty that will now be faced by these front-end companies to sell their stakes.
