Court orders criminal cases against HIMS director, 5 others (the hindu )



A Hassan JMFC court has ordered registration of criminal cases against the director of Hassan Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS) and five others based on a private complaint that they had submitted fake certificates to claim promotion in the institute.

The court, on Wednesday, ordered registration of criminal cases against B.C. Ravi Kumar, Director of HIMS; principal of KVG Medical College at Sullia, M.S. Dhananjaya, K.S. Gangadhar and Rache Gowda —all three former directors of HIMS; and Aruna, former director of the Medical Education Department.

The private complaint was filed by C.V. Mohan Raj of Hassan taluk, in 2014. The police, who investigated the case following the court’s order, filed a ‘B’ report stating that there was no evidence to support the allegation. However, the complainant challenged the ‘B’ report and he was allowed to make a sworn statement.



Dr. Ravi Kumar had allegedly submitted certificates of work experience stating that he had worked at KVG Medical College in Sullia from 2001 to 2006. However, Mr. Mohan Raj had alleged that the accused was running a clinic in Hassan during that period. The other accused supported him to get the certificate, and help him get promotions, he alleged.

The court has ordered registration of criminal cases for cheating under relevant Sections of the IPC against the accused, and ordered for summons.

When The Hindu contacted Dr. Ravi Kumar, he said, “In the past also similar allegations were made against me. The Karnataka Lokayukta and the Department of Medical Education had investigated the allegations and found it misconceived. I have been given the post of Director in HIMS only after these inquiries were conducted. I will fight the case legally.”

SC asks Centre to strike a balance on Rohingya issue (.hindu)

Supreme Court orally indicates that the government should not deport Rohingya “now” as the Centre prevails over it to not record any such views in its formal order, citing “international ramifications”. The Supreme Court on Friday came close to ordering the government not to deport the Rohingya. It finally settled on merely observing that a balance should be struck between humanitarian concern for the community and the country's national security and economic interests. The court was hearing a bunch of petitions, one filed by persons within the Rohingya community, against a proposed move to deport over 40,000 Rohingya refugees. A three-judge Bench, led by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, began by orally indicating that the government should not deport Rohingya “now”, but the government prevailed on the court to not pass any formal order, citing “international ramifications”. With this, the status quo continues even though the court gave the community liberty to approach i...

"ISRO has capabilities to build geostationary satellites for air quality monitoring” (downtoearth)

Pawan Gupta's findings on trans-boundary movement of pollution (Punjab to Delhi) from biomass burning in 2015 spurred debates. He participated in discussions with Indian regulators early September at the Better Air Quality Conference in Busan on the advantages of using satellite data for air quality monitoring. He explains to Down to Earth how air quality monitoring is done using satellite data. How is satellite data used to measure air pollution? Satellites that provide information on atmospheric pollutants are normally (not always) in the low earth orbits (400-1000 km above the Earth’s surface). A single satellite can carry one or more remote sensing instruments onboard that look down to earth and obtain information about the object in the field of view of satellite sensor. The Earth receives electromagnetic radiation from the sun, which travels through space and reaches the earth-atmosphere system. The radiation then interacts with the Earth’s atmosphere and the surface...

What's ailing Namami Gange programme?(DTE)

Winters are extremely hectic for Sushma Patel, a vegetable grower in Uttar Pradesh’s Chunar town. Her farm is in the fertile plains of Ganga where people grow three crops a year. But this is the only season when she can grow vegetables. And before that, she needs to manually dig out shreds of plastic and wrappers from her one-hectare (ha) farm. “This is all because of the nullah,” she says, pointing at an open drain that runs through her field, carrying sewage from the neighbourhood to the Ganga. “Every monsoon, the drain overflows and inundates the field with a thick, black sludge and plastic debris. We cannot even go near the field as the stench of sewage fills the air,” she says. But Patel has no one to complain to as this is the way of life for most people in this ancient town. About 70 per cent of the people in Chunar depend on toilets that have on-site sanitation, such as septic tanks and pits. In the absence of a proper disposal or management system, people simply dump the faec...
