  • J&K Govt to give Rs 2.5 lakh incentive for every inter-caste marriage involving a dalit

    [ad_1]

    Srinagar, Feb 10: The Jammu & Kashmir Government has unveiled a scheme to give Rs 2.5 lakh to every inter-caste marriage involving a dalit.

    An order in possession of news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) reveals that UT administration has come up with a scheme to incentivize inter-caste marriage involving a dalit.

    The scheme has been unveiled after the Administrative Council gave a go-ahead for the same. The Centre had also unveiled a similar scheme in 2017.

    The scheme has been framed for implementation of the Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1995 and the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities), Act 1989.

    To avail benefits of the scheme, one of the spouses in the inter-marriage caste should belong to schedule caste community as mentioned under Scheduled Caste List (out of 13 Castes) specified in The Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950 C.O.19 for Jammu and Kashmir and the other is a non-scheduled caste Hindu.

    As per guidelines of the scheme, the marriage should be valid as per the law and duly registered under the Hindu Marriage Act-1955 and a registration certificate to this effect issued by the competent authority must be furnished by the beneficiaries.

    The order states that the age criteria of marriage should be as per prescribed law.

    The case for assistance shall only be valid if submitted strictly within six months from the date of marriage, as indicated on the marriage registration certificate produced at the time of submission of application.

    “The couples who have already received incentive from the Dr. Ambedkar Foundation, Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment or any other State/UT shall not be eligible for incentive under this scheme,” the guidelines state.

    The guidelines further state that the total amount of incentive will be released to the eligible couple in a single installment through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mode to the joint account of the couple in any government/nationalized bank in the form of fixed deposit (FD) with a lock-in period of three years.

    “At the time of maturity of the fixed deposit i.e. after completion of 3 years the couple has to submit a joint undertaking to the bank regarding the successful sustenance of marriage clearly depicting that no marital dispute or legal proceedings are going on between the couple after which the bank will provide them the option of withdrawing the amount or continuing the fixed deposit under an intimation to the sanctioning authority. In case the beneficiary couple fails to produce the joint undertaking regarding the same it will be the responsibility of the Bank concerned to return and remit the total amount along with interest to Government account under intimation to sanctioning authority,” the order further states—(KNO)

  • No timeline prescribed in Memorandum of Procedure for transfer of HC judges: Govt in LS

    No timeline prescribed in Memorandum of Procedure for transfer of HC judges: Govt in LS

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: There is “no timeline” prescribed in the Memorandum of Procedure for transfer of high court judges, Law Minister Kiren Rijiju informed the Lok Sabha on Friday.

    The Memorandum of Procedure guides the appointment, elevation and transfer of judges of the Supreme Court and 25 high courts.

    In a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha, he said that all transfers are to be made in “public interest” and for promoting better administration of justice throughout the country.

    Rijiju’s statement came days after the Supreme Court expressed displeasure over the Centre’s delay in clearing recommendations for transfer of some high court judges, saying it was a very serious issue.

    The minister said proposals for transfer of 10 high court judges are under various stages of processing.

    “No timeline has been prescribed in the Memorandum of Procedure (MoP) for transfer of judges from one high court to another…. As on February 6, 2023, proposals for transfer of 10 high court judges from one high court to other high courts are under various stages of processing,” Rijiju said.

    He said judges of high courts are transferred according to the procedure laid down in the MoP prepared in 1998.

    According to the existing MoP, the proposal for transfer of high court judges is initiated by the Chief Justice of India in consultation with four senior-most judges of the Supreme Court, he pointed out.

    The MoP further provides that the CJI is also expected to take into account the views of the chief justice of the high court from which the judge is to be transferred, as also the chief justice of the high court to which the transfer is to be effected, he said.

  • KCR govt decreased Muslim quota to 3%, says Congress’ Shabbir Ali

    KCR govt decreased Muslim quota to 3%, says Congress’ Shabbir Ali

    [ad_1]

    Kamareddy: Senior Telangana Congress leader Mohammed Ali Shabbir was facilitated by the members of Wahidiya Masjid Committee of Vikas Nagar Colony in Kamareddy town after Friday prayers for bringing in 4% Muslim reservation in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

    The Wahidiya Masjid Committee members honoured him describing him as the champion of Muslim reservation.

    Speaking on the occasion, Shabbir Ali said that the minorities, especially the beneficiaries of the 4% Muslim reservation should support the Congress party in the next elections. He said Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, who came to power on the promise of a 12% Muslim reservation, cheated the minority community by reducing the Muslim quota to 3%.

    He said KCR government has illegally reduced the quota for Muslims in the BC-E category in jobs and education to 3% and it was being done unofficially.

    Shabbir Ali said the previous Congress government not only provided 4% reservation for Muslims but implemented many schemes for the welfare of minorities. However, the BRS government was only creating hype about minorities’ welfare, but doing nothing.

    He alleged that the KCR government has made all the institutions dealing with the welfare of minorities defunct by not sanctioning funds and not filling vacant posts. He said that Muslims should realise that KCR has caused huge damage to minorities by wearing the false mask of secularism.

    The Congress leader said that the TRS has always supported the BJP government at the Centre and indirectly strengthened the BJP in the State by damaging the Congress party in Telangana. He announced that the Congress party would soon launch a campaign to expose these facts before the people.

  • Govt Orders Ban On Sale Of Land Belonging To ‘Missing Persons’

    Govt Orders Ban On Sale Of Land Belonging To ‘Missing Persons’

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: The administration has issued another order and asked tehsildars to make sure that agricultural land of missing people is not sold by their family members or that crop proceeds are not used by any third party.

    This comes as the crackdown on properties in Jammu and Kashmir that are allegedly encroaching government land continues.

    “It has been brought to my notice that in Tehsil Tangmarg that there are some land patches, belongs to those persons who are not traceable,” reads the order issued by the divisional commissioner Kashmir.

    It reads that they are neither traceable nor receive their share of crop yield and in such a situation there is difficulty in getting such land mutated.

    “In such situation the Standing Order No:23-A is clearly stipulates that for a period of more than 7 years, whenever any land holder is absent from the village and does not cultivate the land or do not take share of the produce, he shall be designated as “GAIR HAZIR/GAIR KABIZ” (not present / not in occupation) and the person who is in possession the land, is to be recorded as “KABIZ”.In such a situation, after making reasonable efforts/ enquiry; the concerned Tehsildar shall presume that he is dead and pass orders on the case accordingly. Before making formal entry into revenue record, he shall also get it confirmed/ approved from the District Collector concerned,” it added.

    “The share of such “GAIR HAZIR/GAIR KABIZ” persons may be allowed to be used by the family members/ other co-sharers (in blood relation). However, they shall not be entitled to sell, gift or in any manner alienate the share of such “GAIR HAZIR/GAIR KABIZ” persons or create 3rd party interest in the property in any manner. No FARD-INTIKHAB of such lands shall be issued,” it further added.

    “Necessary entry in this regard also shall be made by the concerned Tehsildar. Specific input from the office of Special DG, CID has been received, in which it is apprehended that such ‘GairHazir- GairKabiz’ properties are used for financiering militancy. There are specific instances of misuse. In such a situation, strict preventive action needs to be taken on priority,” reads the order.

    It reads that above provisions shall not be applicable to the immovable property of Migrants. As provisions of J & K Migrant Immovable Property (Prevention, Protection and Restraint on Distress Sale) Act, 1997 have superseding effect over all other laws.

    “In this backdrop, you are directed to take immediate necessary action in light of above directions/ instructions in the matter,” it added.
