2G case: Review petitions filed by govt, telecom companies in Supreme Court today

2G case: Review petitions filed by govt, telecom companies in Supreme Court today:

 "New Delhi:  The Supreme Court will decide today whether to admit a government petition seeking a review of its 2G judgements delivered earlier this year; the government has contended that policy decisions should not be open to judicial review. Apart from the Centre's review petition, those filed by various telecom companies and former Telecom Minister A Raja seeking reconsideration of the 2G judgements, come up in court today. These review petitions will not be heard in open court, but will be decided in the chambers of the Judges - Justice GS Singhvi and Justice KS Radhakrishnan.

 On February 2, the Supreme Court had cancelled 122 licenses granted in 2008 by A Raja, who was Telecom Minister then, for mobile network licences and accompanying second generation or 2G spectrum; the two judges who delivered the verdict said all national resources must be distributed only through an auction.

The licences revoked by the court had been allocated on a first-come-first-served basis by Mr Raja. The judges had said this policy was "fundamentally flawed" partly because it presented an advantage to anyone with access to the "corridors of power."" 'via Blog this'

Second chargesheet likely today for Jagan: 10 big developments

Second chargesheet likely today for Jagan: 10 big developments: "HomeLive "






Hyderabad:  Jagan Mohan Reddy continues campaigning in the West Godavari district amid reports that he will be arrested soon by the CBI.  The agency is allegedly ready with a second chargesheet against the politician, who founded his own party, the YSR Congress, named after his famous father and former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh. Here are 10 big developments in the case:
 
1) First chargesheet by CBI was filed on Saturday.  It accuses Jagan and 12 others of criminal conspiracy and cheating.  Jagan's vast business empire allegedly saw investments courtesy his father's office as chief minister.  Businessmen were allegedly urged to invest in his companies; if they obliged, they were granted licenses or clearances they sought.

2) Jagan's assets last year totalled Rs. 365 crores. The inquiry into his wealth was ordered by the Andhra Pradesh High Court.  He lost his appeal to the Supreme Court to stop the investigation.

3) He is touring a part of Andhra Pradesh that has traditionally supported his father. 18 Assembly constituencies will vote before the end of May. The by-elections have largely been necessitated by politicians who were loyal to his father defying their parties to support Jagan.  Their parties were forced to expel them; some formally joined Jagan's party, the YSR Congress.

4) Jagan's father, YSR Reddy, died in 2009 in a helicopter crash during his second term in office.  He was one of the Congress' most charismatic leaders.
 
5) The chargesheet refers to YSR stating that had he been alive, he would have been tried under the Prevention of Corruption Act for accepting bribes and misusing his office.
 
6) This is hugely embarrassing for the Congress because YSR was celebrated by the party.
 
7) Jagan quit the Congress after months of public bickering that ensued when the party did not name him chief minister after his father died.

8) He is travelling surrounded by a huge ring of supporters who will try to stop the CBI from arresting him, or guarantee that the event becomes a drama.  This, they hope, will win him sympathy and votes.

9) Sources in the government say they're concerned over whether his arrest could provoke law and order problems, as well as turn public sympathy in his favour. 

10) The Supreme Court earlier this month said that six ministers, all from the Congress, and eight bureaucrats from the Indian Administrative Service, should explain their alleged role in a case of corruption against him. These people were allegedly responsible for 26 deals between the government and different companies. The case against Jagan has been constructed on the basis of these agreements.'via Blog this'

I am being made a scapegoat: Jagan Reddy - Hindustan Times

I am being made a scapegoat: Jagan Reddy - Hindustan Times:

 "YSR Congress chief and MP YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, who is among 13 people booked by CBI in an alleged disproportionate assets case, on Monday said the action smacked of "dirty politics" and claimed he is being made a scapegoat. A day after CBI filed the chargesheet against him and 12 others, Reddy, the Lok Sabha MP from Kadapa, regretted that attempts are being made to malign his father and late Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy who was killed in a helicopter crash.

 In its chargesheet, CBI accused Jagan Reddy of getting investments of several crores from firms into his own business as part of quid-pro-quo when his father was the chief minister. "Today, I am being made a scapegoat just because my father is no longer alive...You are actually trying to malign someone who is no longer alive...This is dirty politics," Reddy told TV channels in his first reaction to the chargesheet."

No traces of pesticide in Indian sugar - South India - Hyderabad - ibnlive

No traces of pesticide in Indian sugar - South India - Hyderabad - ibnlive:

" 0 inShare Share on Tumblr HYDERABAD: India, the second largest exporter of sugar in the world, has something to cheer about as a study of representative samples of sugar across the country has shown no detectable presence of� pesticides in the sweet commodity.

 This comes as sweet news to the industry in the wake of apprehensions and allegations by cola companies that pesticide residues in the sugar used by them contaminated their bottled beverages. Researchers from Hyderabad -based National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) and Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) tested 27 samples collected from different states in the country for the presence of organophosphate and organochlorine pesticides.

 According to the findings of the study published in the Food Chemistry journal, the levels indicated the absence of pesticides including alpha endosulfan and beta endosulfan, chlorpyrifos and DDT analysed at 0.1 microgram per kilogram level."

Insight: Chasing cheaper cancer drugs

Insight: Chasing cheaper cancer drugs:

"London: In a nondescript suburb south of London, tucked away behind a big hospital, Paul Workman and fellow scientists are celebrating victory in the "World Cup" of cancer drug research for their work in discovering a stream of new medicines. But the win is bitter-sweet. One of the new drugs behind the coveted prize from the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) has been deemed too costly to use in state-run British hospitals like the one next door.

 It is a stark example of the pricing crisis now facing cancer medicines across the globe. In developed and developing countries alike, patients and governments are struggling to pay for modern drugs that are revolutionizing cancer care but may cost tens of thousands of dollars a year for each patient.

 "It`s very frustrating," says Workman, who heads up the drug discovery unit at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), which is funded in large part by charities. What is needed, he believes, is a new model that takes advantage of the highly specific nature of modern targeted therapies to slash drug development timelines and costs."

India's 3rd research base in Antarctica begins - Hindustan Times

India's 3rd research base in Antarctica begins - Hindustan Times:

 "India has done a soft launch of its third research station in Antarctica's Larsemann Hills region, considered as one of the few geological windows into the history of the continent. "The construction is over. We are running it on trial basis. The winter team is there carrying out tests on various equipment and systems," Shailesh Nayak, secretary, ministry of Earth Sciences, said.

The formal launch of the research station - Bharti - is expected in November when it is summer time in the icy continent. The research station would address the growing urge in the Indian scientific community for exploring deeper and wider areas of Antarctica for better understanding of the vast continent, said Rajesh Asthana, the leader of the 15-member team, at a brief inauguration ceremony at Larsemann Hills on March 18.

 The station is situated at an unnamed promontory of land between the Strornes and Broknes peninsulas in the Larsemann Hills region of East Antarctica. The natural topography is a rocky granite hill towering approximately 90 meters above sea level."

Air India union renew strike threat, seek PM's help on delay in salaries - Business Today

Air India union renew strike threat, seek PM's help on delay in salaries - Business Today:

 "Air India (AI) employees, who have threatened to strike work from April 2, for delay in salaries and allowances have sought Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's intervention. The decision to go ahead with the proposed strike came after the eight unions-of the total 13 registered unions- failed to secure any firm proposal from the AI management for clearing their dues at a meeting on Wednesday, the third such engagement in a week . Shockingly, the employees have not been paid since December.


 The AI unions have called for immediate intervention of the PM to resolve the situation failing which they have threatened to go ahead with the strike. "We will no longer be able to bear this agony, which has been thrust upon us. Therefore, we reiterate that if the management continues to withhold our legitimate salaries, we will not be able to discharge our duties from April 2. We appeal to you for your kind and urgent intervention to resolve the situation," the unions said in a joint memorandum to the PM. "

India proposes to take US to WTO on visa fee hike - The Times of India

India proposes to take US to WTO on visa fee hike - The Times of India:

  "NEW DELHI: India proposes to take the US to the WTO disputing 'discrimination' against the Indian software companies which are being asked to pay higher H-1B and L1 visa fee for their employees than the American firms for bringing more number of skilled immigrants to their country at lesser costs.

"The Department of Commerce is working to build up a case of WTO violations by US resulting from the implementation of the visa fee hike," an official said.

 He said the discrimination was the result of the US Border Security Act of 2010. India has been raising its concern for the last 18 months. The law, also known as the James Zadroga Act, substantially increased the fees for H-1B and L1 categories of visas for applicants which employ more than 50 persons in the US or have more than 50% of their employees admitted on non-immigrant visas (the 50:50 rule).
