During recently held Zilla Parishad elections, he openly sided with BJP inviting sharp reaction from Sena circles. Sandip Bajoria, NCP leader and close aide of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar who had represented this seat, was also interested and had lobbied with Sena leadership.

Shivaji Sawant, younger brother of Tanaji Sawant is also keen to fight. According to Sena sources, the party has finalised name of Dushyant Chaturvedi, considered close to Sena youth leader and Environment Minister Aditya Thackeray, looking at his winnability. Official announcement is likely to be made soon. The Election Commission had issued notification for Yavatmal MLC seat on January 7.

Gadkari had hinted at the problem

Nagpur: The newly opened Sadar flyover has in a way eased the traffic snarls at otherwise busy Sadar bazaar road but it has eventually led to another traffic chaos at the Reserve Bank end of flyover. This major construction glitch surfaced on Sunday when the flyover saw maximum traffic owing to the Khasdar Krida Mahotsav and Nagpur Rural Police Welfare programmes, organised in Mankapur Sports Stadium and Indoor Stadium, respectively.

The lack of traffic signal at the end of flyover towards Reserve Bank square jammed up vehicles, throwing traffic fully out of gear. A large number of vehicles approach from the Reserve Bank square towards LIC square and at the same time the vehicles from flyover are also culminating at AFO square, just before RBI square, which is leading to chaotic confrontation of vehicles. Since there is no traffic signal at this spot, there will be a routine jam at this place. On a temporary basis barricades have been put up just after the end of flyover which is only adding to the problem. This clearly shows lack of mindful implementation of the project.

Gadkari had hinted at the problem

On January 10 when Union Minister Nitin Gadkari had dedicated the flyover to the public, he had hinted at the problem after inspection and reportedly suggested for installing traffic signals at the spot in complete sync with the signals at LIC and RBI squares.

Another Ram Jhula like situation?

Similar traffic deadlock was observed when the Ram Jhula ending towards Kingsway road has been creating utter traffic mayhem owing to the culmination of vehicles both from Ram Jhula and Tekdi flyover. Now this problem has also been covered up by temporarily putting up barricades. Experts are of the view that no thoughts were applied at the execution level itself.

Nagpur: “Usage of CNG and LNG would reduce the pollution in city and the additional benefit for Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) is that life of its city buses will be increased by 15 years. Thus, switching over to CNG alone would save NMC’s Rs 60 crore on annual fuel bill,” said Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road, Surface Transport and Highways and MSME, after inauguration of second CNG depot in Wadi area on Amravati Road. Deputy Mayor Manish Kothe, Narendra Borkar, Chairperson, Transport Committee, Kaustubh Gupta, Romat Company, were also present on the occasion.

“As compared to diesel which costs Rs 72/litre, LNG costs Rs 48. Gadkari said long distance goods truck by switching over to LNG can increase the average and save more. Further increased usage of Ethanol, Methanol, Bio-Diesel, CNG can ensure savings of Rs 80 lakh crore in foreign exchange,” he claimed.

The market has recently seen launch of TVS running on Ethanol and a motorcycle on CNG and it can run a 5 HP pump. Gadkari said this technology should reach the farmers so that they can minimize their cost of taking crops. The first mother CNG station has come up on Kamptee Road and now second on Amravati Road.

The special Court, Prevention of corruption act, Shri V M Vaidya acquitted the accused Laxman Kendre for the offences punishable Under Sections 7, 13(1) (D) R/w. sec 13(2) of the Prevention from Corruption Act, 1988.
The prosecution case in a nutshell was that the complainant Sheikh Raheman had lodged a complaint on 02/07/2015 with the Anti Corruption Bureau, Nagpur alleging that his son Sheikh Shahrukh Sheikh Raheman had eloped with a girl and that thereupon his son came to be arrested on 28/06/2015 and was sent to police custody remand for 10 days. The complainant in his complaint alleged that on 01/07/2015, when the complainant along with his nephew had visited the Police Station to meet his son, the accused i.e. Assistant Police Inspector Laxman Kendre met them and told them that he would not beat his son in the course of police custody remand and when the police custody remand would get over on 08/07/2015 and thereafter his son would go to Central Jail, the accused would help the complainant to get his son bailed out within a month and that for favoring the complainant, the accused demanded Rs. 1,50,000/- from the complainant and demanded the complainant to bring the said amount at 3 o’clock on 02/07/2015. The complainant was not ready to pay the bribe amount and as such he approached the Anti Corruption Bureau, Nagpur and lodged the complaint narrating the aforesaid facts.

The prosecution has led evidence on the point of verification proceedings and subsequent proceedings and the prosecution claimed that after the alleged demand was verified the complainant in the presence of the Panch No.1 and Sheikh Irfan i.e. the complainant’s nephew had handed over the tainted currency notes to the accused in his car. The tainted currency notes were put inside an envelope when they handed it to the accused and the complainant claimed to have kept it in front of the gearbox in the car of the accused after the accused demanded the same. The prosecution versions is that, thereafter the complainant gave the pre determined signal to the trap team who were waiting in the vicinity, who thereafter opened the door of the car and took out the currency notes from the front of the gearbox of the car and the ultra violet lamp was subjected there and blue colour mark was seen. Similarly the hands of the accused were also subjected to ultra violet lamp and the left palm and tips of fingers of the accused demonstrated blue marks. The investigating team claimed to have seized various articles including the tainted notes and after completing the formalities and after obtaining the reports from the forensic lab lodged prosecution against the accused on obtaining the necessary sanction therefor.

The learned Advocate Prakash Naidu for the accused strenuously argued and submitted that the evidence on record is visibly and prima facie deficient to prove the demand, receipt and recovery of any amount of illegal gratification as alleged and thus as the mandatory ingredients of the offence with which the accused had been charged have remained unproved. Without in any manner conceding to the charge of receipt or recovery of the alleged tainted amount of Rs. 1,00,000/- as per the allegations of the prosecution’s case, it was argued that in the absence of any proof of demand the entire proceeding is vitiated and that the demand has to be proved in clear bold terms failing which no presumption can be drawn against the accused. It was argued that demand of illegal gratification is a sine qua non to constitute the said offence under section 7 of the Act, and unless it is proved beyond all reasonable doubts that the accused voluntarily accepted the money knowing it to be bribe, no aspect of any presumption can be raised adverse to the interest of the accused and the entire proceedings stand vitiated even if tainted notes are recovered from the accused without there being any demand being proved. It was argued that initial burden of proving that the accused demanded and in pursuance of the said demand, accepted and obtained the amount other than legal remuneration is upon the prosecution and it is only when the prosecution succeeds in proving that the demand at the hands of the accused has been proved it is then that the burden of rebutting the presumption shifts upon the accused and the accused would be required to shred of the theory of presumption as contemplated under the act

The Court held that on an overall appreciation of evidence on record, in the context of elucidation of law pertaining to proof of the ingredients of sec. 7 and sec. 13 of the P.C. Act, as adverted to herein above, the Honble court was of the considered opinion that in view of absence of proof of demand, as has been held by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the cited judgments supra, the theory of rebutting the presumption is ruled out as the prosecution had miserably failed to prove the initial demand and without the basic aspect having been proved, any further proceedings was futile to the prosecution. Appreciating the evidence and arguments on record, the Special Judge V M Vaidya acquitted the accused. Adv Prakash Naidu assisted by Adv Pankaj Thakre, Homesh Chavhan, Rahul Rathe, Surabhi Godbole, Mitesh Baid represented the accused. Abhay Jikar represented the state.
