    Delhi HC summons Uddhav Thackeray, Aditya, Sanjay Raut in defamation case by Shiv Sena MP

    Uddhav Thackeray, son Aaditya Thackeray and Shiv Sena (UBT) Member of Parliament Sanjay Raut were on Tuesday, March 28, issued summons by the Delhi High Court in a defamation suit filed by Shiv Sena MP Rahul Shewale, a close aide of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. According to the plaintiff, Uddhav and the two others named above made frivolous allegations against Shiv Sena and its members. As per the allegations, the Thackerays and Raut said the Eknath Shinde faction bought the Shiv Sena symbol for ₹2000 crore.

    The suit filed by Shewale was heard by the Bench of Justice Prateek Jalan of the Delhi High Court. The court admitted the suit after hearing the arguments from Senior Advocate Rajiv Nayar, who appeared for the plaintiff. It also directed them to answer all material questions. The defendants were also asked to file responses to the interim applications.

    Request for an injunction order
    Shewale’s lawyer pleaded with the court to pass an injunction order which would bar Raut and others from making any further comments, which may allegedly amount to defamation. However, the court said it would wait for the responses from the parties and then pass an order.

    Moreover, the court asked Google, Twitter, Uddhav Thackeray, Aaditya Thackeray and Sanjay Raut to file the responses within 30 days on the suit.

    Sanjay Raut had on February 19, 2023, made some remarks against the Maharashtra Chief Minister during a press conference and a case was filed by a Shiv Sena leader against Raut in Nashik in connection with the same. As per the complaint, Sanjay Raut, a Rajya Sabha MP of Shiv Sena (UBT), had alleged that a “deal of ₹ 2000 crore” had taken place to “purchase” the Shiv Sena party name and its ‘bow and arrow’ symbol.

    The statement was made days after the Election Commission of India allotted the ‘bow and arrow’ symbol to the Eknath Shinde faction and recognised it as the original Shiv Sena.

  • Campaign launched for rejuvenation of water bodies

    Campaign launched for rejuvenation of water bodies

    The Una district administration has launched a drive to rejuvenate and beautify dilapidated ponds and other water bodies that had played an important role in water conservation in the region.

    After visiting three such sites in Haroli subdivision, Deputy Commissioner Raghav Sharma said these water bodies had nurtured the local populace for many decades, besides recharging the ground water aquifer.

    These ponds were also the social hubs for locals where elders, children and women used to meet, play or perform daily chores. After the launch of piped drinking water supply to the households, these water bodies got neglected.

    The changed scenario has brought the focus back on these traditional water bodies, said DFO Sushil Kumar Rana.

    Sharma directed the officials to beautify the areas on the periphery of the ponds. Rainwater from the catchment areas of these water bodies should be directed towards the aquifers to ensure water table recharge, he said.

  • Notice to contractor regarding parking fee

    Notice to contractor regarding parking fee

    The Shimla Municipal Corporation (MC) today issued a notice to Shimla Tolls and Projects Private Limited for overcharging parking fee at the complex near the Lift.

    Municipal Commissioner Ashish Kohli, while reacting to media reports that the company was charging Rs 200 for 58 minutes, which is way above the fixed parking fee, ordered the refund of the extra amount.

    He said the contractor was charging a disproportionately high and unreasonable parking fee and warned it of stringent action in case of such complaints were received.

    The rates fixed by the MC for parking vehicles for two hours at the Lift is just Rs 35. Besides locals, tourists have also made complaints of overcharging by the company.

    There is a paucity of sufficient parking lots in the city and the problem gets aggravated during the peak tourist season. “This has not just tarnished the image of the MC, but has also given a wrong message to tourists visiting the state capital. Our state is dependent on tourism and such incidents adversely impact tourist footfall,” the notice reads.

    Kohli has directed that not only should the overcharged amount be refunded, but also the rate list be displayed, showing the charges for parking at a prominent place at the entrance on the top floor.

    In the past, too, action was taken against the contractor for overcharging fee.

    “The MC must ensure that there is no overcharging at parking lots that have been constructed for the convenience of locals as well as tourists,” said former Mayor Sanjay Chauhan.
