Bike driven over kids hand in a tamilnadu school

A teacher in Tamil Nadu did ride his bike on his students hand and stomach. Is this a school or a circus training institute. I know it can be done with practice, but are the parents sending kids to school to do such stunts. I really dont understand what the teacher want to achieve here.

Read On..

A state government run elementary school in Tamil Nadu's Villupuram district, celebrated a function by making students endure the pain of a motorcycle run over their hands. And as if this was not bad enough, a motorcycle was also driven over the stomach of a little girl.

School authorities say that it was meant to be a bravery show and was organised with the consent of the parent-teacher body. The students say they were put through the stunt several times as practice.

Ironically, this brutality on the children was witnessed by the state's High Education Minister, K Ponmudi's wife, who was there to distribute free uniforms and stationery. K Ponmudi has now distanced himself from the event.

"I have already warned them that no such incident should not happen again. We will take neccesary action. It is a rare incident," he says.

But the matter has now been raised by the Centre and child activists too are protesting.

Women and Child Development Minister, Krishna Tirath said, "It is shocking. If necessary, we will ask the child commission to probe into the matter."

The incident is a case of gross violation of children rights. Despite the presence of the state education minister wife's - who reportedly objected to these daredevil stunts being performed - no action has been taken by the government for over two weeks till Tuesday when media took up the issue.

Two police officers in India have been arrested after allegedly throwing a pregnant woman and her three-year-old daughter off a moving train for refusing to pay a bribe of 100 rupees.

According to a police report, Ram Singh and Sudhir Singh demanded the bribe on Thursday when Dinesh Kumar Lodh and his pregnant wife Kavita attempted to carry his bicycle into the train compartment when the couple boarded a train in the Lakhimpur Kheri district of the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.

When Mrs Lodh said she was not carrying enough money, and instead offered a 5 rupee bribe, the railway officers allegedly pushed her from the train.

As she struggled to grab hold of the door, she fell under the wheels of the train and was killed instantly, witnesses said. The little girl, who had been sitting on her mother's lap, also fell out of the moving train but escaped with minor injuries.

Law-Makers ya Law-Breakers : Karnataka lawyers assault high court chief justice

We go to lawyers seeking for some justice.But when lawyers itself break the law then where should we go. Anyways here is one such incident which happened in bangalore where the lawyers man handled their own high court justice. Wah Mera India !!

Read On..

In a shocking incident that could probably be a first in the history of the Indian judiciary, Karnataka high court chief justice PD Dinakaran and two other senior judges were assaulted by agitating advocates on Monday.


The two senior judges, justices V Gopala Gowda and BV Nagarathna, were also detained in a court room by the advocates who were angered that they were hearing cases despite a call to boycott all proceedings in courts across the state on Monday.

The Advocates' Association of Bangalore had called for the boycott to protest against justice Dinakaran's decision to continue to attend court hearings despite him not being cleared of allegations of amassing huge assets, of corruption and of serious irregularities while disposing of cases.

Karnataka high court registrar-general RB Budhihal has written a letter to police commissioner Shankar M Bidari about the incident, which states that two judges, justices V Gopala Gowda and BV Nagarathna, were manhandled and chief justice Dinakaran had a sharp object thrown at him, causing injury.

The drama unfolded at about 10.30 am when the advocates noticed that despite the bar members staying away from the courts, some judges were attending hearings. When the news spread, about 200 advocates gathered at the high court premises to express anguish that judges were hearing cases without advocates being present in court rooms.

At around 11.25am, the advocates barged into court room 1, where justice Dinakaran was hearing cases. They verbally attacked him, and a sharp object was reportedly hurled at him, causing him a minor injury.

Dinakaran appealed to them: "I have highest regard for you. I have suffered a lot, and I have taken so much pain, so allow me to speak. I have given a detailed explanation to the Supreme Court collegium about the alleged allegations. If you do this to me, where shall I go? What sin have I committed? I am also one among you. I have constitutional commitments; so please let me discharge my duties."

But the agitators continued hurling abuses at him. Senior advocate Pramila Nesargi also requested the chief justice not to continue with the hearing, but justice Dinakaran held his ground. However, after 20 minutes of drama inside the court room, he was forced to leave the court room when the agitated group did not relent.

The advocates then roamed the high court corridors before entering the court room where justices Gopala Gowda and Nagarathna were hearing cases. At first, the advocates requested the judges not to continue with the hearings, but when they continued to hear the cases, they started singing the national anthem, followed by bhajans.

They then started using filthy language and began throwing papers and books at the two judges. Some advocates had even got hold of chairs and were holding them aloft.

However, when the judges did not give up, the advocates moved out and locked all the four doors of the court room with the two judges inside. They also switched off the power to the court rooms.

Finally, at about 2pm - after over two hours of detaining justices Gopala Gowda and Nagarathna, justice Dinakaran came with the police and rescued them. By 2.30 most of the advocates had disappeared from the high court premises.

High court registrar-general Budhihal has urged police commissioner Bidari to provide protection for the judges from now on, and has asked him to take stern action against the perpetrators of the violence against the chief justice and the judges.

Justice Gopala Gowda later said: "There was threat to our lives. Head of the institution (chief justice Dinakaran) was assaulted, my sister judge (BV Nagarathna) manhandled. They threw papers and books at us. They used filthy language. They then locked the court and they cut the power also. But we cannot be cowed down by this; we will work without fear. We are magnanimous."

Justice Dinakaran said "There is no confrontation between the Bar and the Bench. The administration of justice is not hampered; we have rendered justice without affecting the advocates and the litigants." He, however, refused to comment on the violent incidents.
