Atiq’s family graveyard to be freed from ‘illegal control’

[ad_1]
Prayagraj: Efforts are now being made to free the Kasari-Masari graveyard, said to be the ‘family graveyard’ of slain gangster Atiq Ahmad, from the control of a close relative.
The graveyard’s Mutawalli (caretaker) had made several complaints to authorities at the time but to no avail.
Now, after Atiq’s death and with his gang on the run, the graveyard committee authorities hope that the land will be freed from illegal occupation of his relative.

Sources said that nearly half the graveyard land was grabbed on which Atiq’s relatives are running a construction material business and is even using it as a garage and a shed for labourers.
An investigation is now underway to identify the Waqf properties illegally occupied by Atiq and his associates, said a senior district administrative official.
The graveyard, a portion of which Atiq’s relative has illegally grabbed, is registered as Chhoti Karbala Qabristan (property number I-1657) under the Uttar Pradesh Shia Central Board of Waqf, said the graveyard’s present Mutawalli Amir Alvi.
He said: “The committee made its last complaint about the grabbing of graveyard land in 2021 to the Chief Minister and Prayagraj administrative officials. However, no action was taken in this regard. Complaints were also made to local police officials. We also spoke to Atiq’s kin and requested him to vacate the land but he refused.”
However, a senior police official said that no complaint had been received over the issue in the recent past.

“If we get a complaint, we will probe the issue and do the needful,” he added.
Locals said that the graveyard was not encroached upon all at once, but the man first grabbed a small portion of it around 12 years back. He gradually started encroaching upon larger portions of it.
He used to threaten locals and graveyard committee authorities in the name of Atiq Ahmed when they raised objections.

Hyderabad police to crack down against illegal use of sirens

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Hyderabad police commissioner CV Anand on Monday asked the traffic cops to conduct a special drive against the illegal use of sirens in the city.
The police have been directed to detain and seize all vehicles using unauthorized sirens.
Hyderabad police to take action against ambulances
The commissioner also directed the traffic cops to check ambulances, which have been reported to be using sirens even when they are not carrying patients or carrying fake patients. The use of sirens in such cases creates a disturbance in traffic flow and could cause accidents.

Responding to a tweet that highlighted the illegal use of sirens by a vehicle on April 23 from Tolichowki to Rethibowli, the commissioner agreed that the illegal use of sirens by all and sundry is creating a lot of traffic issues and disturbing the maintenance of traffic flow. He urged the public to keep reporting vehicles that are illegally using sirens and provide proof of such incidents.
Yes we agree with you that this illegal use of sirens by all and sundry is creating lot of traffic issues and disturbing maintenance of traffic flow.
From today , I have asked the Hyderabad traffic police to conduct a special drive against this menace and detain and seize all… https://t.co/EfyCk2gPur

Rules for use of sirens
As per the rules, sirens are allowed only in vehicles used as ambulances or for fire fighting or salvage purposes or vehicles used by police officers or operators of construction equipment vehicles or officers of the Motor Vehicles Department in the course of their duty. Therefore, any other use of sirens is illegal, and the police will take strict action against those violating the law.
The Hyderabad Police’s move to crack down against the illegal use of sirens is commendable. The misuse of sirens not only creates a disturbance in traffic flow but also poses a danger to the safety of other road users.

Compensate woman for illegal detention for a day, SC to Maha Police officers

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Supreme Court has asked police officers in Maharashtra to compensate a woman for keeping her in illegal detention despite she being granted interim protection and two weeks to surrender it.
A bench of Justices S.K. Kaul and A. Amanullah observed that the woman, an accused in a criminal case, got the interim protection on November 17, 2021 and the apex court had granted her two weeks’ to surrender and apply for regular bail.
Expressing discontent with the illegal detention of the woman, the bench noted that the court had given interim protection to the petitioner and despite the same, she was taken into custody.

The petitioner had submitted before the court that she had also shown the court’s order to the police, though she was bailed out next but she was in custody for a day.
The top court ordered that the petitioner should be compensated with Rs 15,000 for the illegal detention for one day which will be shared by the two police officers and the payment to be made within a period of two weeks.
The bench noted that two police officers filed their affidavit seeking to express unconditional apology. However, the bench said that behaviour of the officers was in the teeth of the court’s order and cautioned the police officers to be careful in future.
The top court passed the order on a contempt plea filed by the woman against two police officers. In a previous order passed in January this year, the bench had noted petitioner’s counsel arguments that despite the November 2021 order, within two days the woman was arrested from a hospital where she was working as a nurse.
The bench noted that the police officers were ready to compensate the woman from their own pocket in the matter.

In 2021, the woman had moved the apex court challenging the Bombay High Court order, passed in August 2021, refusing to entertain her plea for anticipatory bail in the case.
