Jharkhand HC extends stay on notice against Rahul Gandhi by Ranchi court

[ad_1]
Ranchi: The High Court of Jharkhand on Friday extended the stay on a notice by a local judicial magistrate to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for personal appearance in a case filed against him for allegedly maligning BJP leader Amit Shah.
Gandhi has moved the high court praying for setting aside the criminal proceedings initiated against him by the magisterial court in Ranchi.
Justice Ambuj Nath, while hearing the petition, directed that no coercive steps be taken against Gandhi till further orders of the court in this regard.

The high court on February 3 first put a stay on the notice for appearance of Rahul Gandhi before the court of the magistrate in Ranchi the next day.
He was ordered to appear before the magistrate in a complaint case filed against him by Navin Jha, a BJP member in Ranchi.
Jha in his petition has alleged that Gandhi had maligned BJP leader Amit Shah in a speech he made in Chaibasa before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Jha had filed the complaint on April 24, last year before the court of Ranchi Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate which was dismissed.
Thereafter, Jha filed a revision petition before the court of the Ranchi Judicial Commissioner which was allowed and the matter was remanded back to the court of the sub-divisional judicial magistrate.

Tribal bodies call for Ranchi shutdown against burning of religious flag

[ad_1]
Ranchi: Tribal bodies in Jharkhand have called a day-long shutdown in Ranchi on Saturday in protest against the burning of a religious flag by miscreants.
The tribal bodies under the banner of Kendriya Sarna Samiti took out a torchlight procession on Friday evening here demanding the arrest of those responsible.
The Ranchi administration on Friday imposed Section 144 Cr PC in the 200-meter radius limit of Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s house and the secretariat because of the bandh.

The bandh sponsors said that ambulance and milk van services and pharmacies will be kept out of the bandh purview.
“A Sarna flag was burnt at Lower Karam Toli area in Ranchi on March 25, a day after the Sarhul festival, by some miscreants. But the administration took no action in this regard,” KSS president Phoolchand Tirkey said.
Alleging that there were more such incidents, he said a tribal religious flag was thrown away in Nagri and Thakurgaon localities. In these instances too no action was taken though the tribal organisations had lodged their protests.
“Since the administration is taking no action, we are forced to call Ranchi bandh on Saturday,” he said.
Sarnas are sacred groves in Chhota Nagpur plateau region and are worshhipped by tribals in Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Odisha.

The prohibitory order at the chief minister’s house was imposed also due to the slated protest by students on the employment issue.
Jharkhand State Students Union (JSSU), however, announced on Friday that it has postponed the CM House gherao programme after the death of state Education Minister Jagarnath Mahto in Tamilnadu on Thursday.
JSSU has been demanding the scrapping of the 60-40 ratio-based employment policy and the one based on the introduction of 1932 khatiyan (land settlement). The state cabinet on March 3 approved the ammendment to various rules related to Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) examinations.
“We have rescheduled the protest to April 17,” JSSU leader Devendra Mahto.

Ranchi: A gunfight broke out between the police and Maoists belonging to the banned Tritiya Sammelan Prastuti Committee (TSPC) on Sunday night in the Budhmu police station area of Ranchi.
During the encounter, more than 100 rounds were fired by both sides.
Police said that four extremists were injured in the gunfight, but they managed to escape into the thick forest.
During the search operation, the police recovered 777 rifle cartridges, seven walkie-talkies and many other items from the area.
The Senior Superintendent of police (SSP) in Ranchi received information about the presence of an armed squad of Naxalites in Sumo forest. A team under the command of DSP Animesh Naithani was sent to investigate.
As soon as the police team entered the forest, the Naxalites started firing. In response, the police also opened fire.
According to a police official, this squad of Naxalites is being led by TSPS area commander Dinesh Ganjhu alias Tiwari.
On January 23, the police had killed Vishal Sharma, area commander of the banned Naxalite organization People’s Liberation Front of India (PLFI) in a skirmish in the Thakurgaon police station area adjacent to Budhmu.
