AGTF nabs ex-police commando who joined Anandpal, Bishnoi gangs

Jaipur: State police's Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) Saturday arrested a former Rajasthan police commando who joined ranks of notorious gangsters Anandpal and Lawrence Bishnoi and was wanted in multiple criminal cases across the state, including a firing at a hotel in Churu district last year. Churu police had announced a reward of Rs 25,000 for his capture. Praveen Singh Jodi, 43, hails from Jodi village in Bhaleri police station area of Churu district. He joined the police force in 2001 as a constable and later served in the police commando unit in Jhalawar. However, his links with gangsters grew over time. He was found to be associated with shooter Ankit Bhadu from the Lawrence gang and was also involved with the Anandpal gang. These associations led to his dismissal from service on May 22, 2019. Following his dismissal, Praveen became an active player in the state's gang network. According to police, he supplied contact numbers of local businessmen to key members of Anandpal and Lawrence gangs, including to Rohit Godara and Virendra, who then used this information to extort money. He is also facing three cases in Sriganganagar for sheltering criminals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Vad kan man ta ut per år ur en portfölj på 3 miljoner kr?

HP High Court Raps HPU for withholding Associate Professor's Salary

Shimla, Jun 21 (UNI) The Himachal Pradesh High Court has pulled up Himachal Pradesh University (HPU) for withholding the salary of an Associate Professor for over two years, despite his promotion under the University Grants Commission (UGC) Career Advancement Scheme (CAS). Justice Sandeep Sharma, while allowing a civil writ petition filed by Dr. Bhawani Singh, directed HPU to release the pending salary within six weeks. Dr. Singh, appointed as an Assistant Professor in 2016 in the Department of Hindi, was promoted to Associate Professor on September 9, 2022, under UGC norms. The promotion was approved by the university's Executive Council through an office order dated July 4, 2023. However, HPU withheld the salary, citing lack of approval from the state government. The court noted that Dr. Singh was working in the higher post but denied its pay scale. 'The petitioner, who admittedly at present is working against the higher post, is being denied salary of the higher post,' the order stated, terming the university's conduct as 'bad in law' and 'unjustified.' HPU's repeated attempts to seek approval from the Finance Department were blocked, as the department claimed that the Assured Career Progression (ACP) Scheme ceased with the introduction of the Himachal Pradesh Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2022. However, the court rejected this reasoning, asserting that UGC regulations, having statutory force, must prevail over state policies in such matters. Citing Supreme Court rulings in Gambhirdan K. Gadhvi v. State of Gujarat and Prof. (Dr.) Sreejith P.S v. Dr. Rajshree M.S, the court emphasized that UGC norms are binding on state universities. 'UGC Regulations should become part of the statute framed by Parliament and, therefore, shall prevail,' Justice Sharma said. The court ruled that state government approval was not a precondition for releasing the salary. Failure to comply with the order within six weeks will entitle Dr. Singh to interest at 6% per annum on the delayed payment. Senior Advocate Sanjeev Bhushan, assisted by L.S. Mehta, represented the petitioner, while Advocate General Anup Rattan and his team appeared for the state and HPU. UNI ML RKM
