TIMES CITY 4 Court quashes diktat on helmet TIMES NEWS NETWORK Udaipur: The district and sessions court on Friday quashed an order passed by the district magistrate that imposed restrictions on fuel stations on selling petrol to two-wheeler riders without helmet. Calling it an act beyond the powers of collector to bind the fuel station owners to make public adhere to the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act, the order was dismissed. Collector Ashutosh AT Pednekar had on April 16, by evoking Section 133 of the CrPC, imposed the ban creating a stir among the civil society that raised stern objections against the rule which was claimed to be autocratic and unconstitutional. Calling it an act beyond the powers of collector to bind the fuel station owners to make public adhere to the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act, the order was dismissed Protests and rallies had followed further making things complicated for the petrol pump owners who expressed inability to abide by the rule. A review petition was filed by activist Trilok Mehta, who held in his plea that Section 133 is related to removal of nuisance but it is clearly stated that unless there is imminent danger to the health or physical comfort of the community or conduct of the trade and occupation is in fact dangerous to people, an order under the section cannot be passed. Pronouncing the verdict, Pankaj Bhandari, the district judge held that helmets may be compulsory for vehicles in motion but at fuel stations, vehicles are stationary and hence there is no threat to life for those not wearing it. The judge also said in his decision that fuel stations are situated on private land and not public place and hence petrol pump owners could not be bound to make people adhere to the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Act. “The court also held that sale of petrol to two-wheeler riders without helmet cannot be defined as public nuisance and Section 133 is essentially related to removal of nuisance,” said Sunderlal Mandawat, the pleader. Meanwhile, according to the latest orders of the state government, helmets have been made compulsory for the pillion riders too at all the divisional headquarters with effect from May 1. In Udaipur, where a mere 510% of riders have been voluntarily wearing helmets, the new rule seems difficult to implement. However, the traffic department will be organizing awareness programme for a fortnight over the importance of helmets for the pillion riders, later on fine will be imposed on those who violate the law.

Chittorgarh: “Parents of boys want to get a bride as early as possible so that their sons do not remain unmarried,” he says. This has led to a situation where the boys’ families in fact, pay the girls’ fathers an agreed-upon amount. “This can be anything between Rs 5 lakh and Rs 25 lakh,” Choudhary says. It’s like an early bird getting the bride. Or perhaps, catch them young before they slip away. “The girls’ families also want to get their daughters hitched as early as possible as there is a fear here that once they grow older, they will run away with some boy,” Choudhary adds. In fact, a few “married” girls have indeed run away with partners of their choice, leaving their “husbands”. Once a child marriage is over, the baby bride is left at her parents’ place. Her in-laws will come back to claim her when she is 15. In the meantime, the “wife” is required to visit her in-laws’ place during ceremonies. If she falls ill, the in-laws rush in to take care. After all, investing in a new bride is a lot more costly than footing the bills of some medical expenses. For the Pushpas and Pinkys, that is perhaps the only silver lining. and after that it would take the decision to set up the same kind of academies in other medical colleges in the same financial year. The academies were announced in 2015-16 budget speech by the chief minister. According to the health department officials, these academies will help the patients suffering from renal diseases. In the academies, the nurses and other candidates will be imparted training in dialysis so that they would become trained dialysis technicians.

SMS CINEMA OF THE WEEK YOUR MOVIE REVIEWS/RATINGS Gabbar Is Back (Drama/Action) ★★★1/2 Cast: Akshay Kumar, Shruti Haasan, Suman Talwar, Sunil Grover, Kareena Kapoor Khan Direction: Krish Duration: 2 hours 10 minutes Language: Hindi (U/A) 58888 code: gab ■ ‘Gabbar’ ruthlessly targets corrupt offi- cials—will this bad guy get good results? G abbar is back—and so is Akshay Kumar, with a big screen bang. Professor Aditya (Akshay) has a secret life as vigilante Gabbar who terrorizes government officials. Gabbar and his gang kidnap tehsildars, collectors and cops, hanging the most corrupt in public. As the police search frantically for this rebel with a cause, Gabbar decides corrupt builder Patil (Suman) ko bhi sazaa milegi, barabar milegi—does Gabbar succeed? Amjad Khan as Sholay’s iconic villain Gabbar Singh was so hugely explosive, legends say cassettes featuring only Gabbar’s dialogues sold for years after the blockbuster’s release in 1975. Gabbar Is Back now picks up that high voltage pulse, remixing it cleverly with the biggest concern of our contemporary times—corruption. This Gabbar also terrorizes—but only targets the corrupt. For aam citizens, Gabbar’s an inspiring figure—one who makes you cheer for the ‘bad’ guy. Akshay Kumar has a blast playing Gabbar who, with dark, wavy hair and a bristly beard, has never looked hotter. With twinkling eyes and deadpan face, Akshay delivers dynamite dialogues— RATING SCALE POOR ★ READERS’ VERDICT Type rev <space> short code of movie as given under each movie name <space> your name <space> your rating (choose from 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5 or 5). <space> add your comments and send to 58888 e.g. rev gab neha 3 super movie READERS’ RATING ★★★★1/2 CRITIC’S RATING ★★★★ 58888 Avengers: Age of Ultron wins with VFX! Codes for movies ● Gabbar Is Back (gab) To rate the movie, you can also go to review.timesofindia.com ‘Naam se villain, kaam se hero’, flawless bone-breaking action, redefining PWD (‘power-wala danda’), switching from loose-limbed vulnerability to jawclenched intensity in a flash. The story powers him constantly with its novel concept (a moral universe where Gabbar is the hero and Thakur, a smug cop, snapping at bright constable Sadhuram, played by straight-faced Sunil Grover) and sharp contrasts. Doctors pretending to treat a dead man, nervous officials returning bribes via money orders, tickle you with dark comedy. But you wince as Aditya hears mocking ‘apologies’ by babus, bribed to pass a faulty building that collapses—with many lives. With gritty reality, Gabbar has glamour too—Shruti charms with her soft, pretty appeal while a cameo by Kareena adds sheen but doesn’t divert. The second half ’s blood pressure doesn’t fully AVERAGE ★★ match the first (Patil’s insistent ‘I am a brand!’ gets repetitive while CBI officer Pahwa looks clueless without Sadhuram’s ‘axellent’ work)—but the climax pushes up the adrenaline again. While the music’s pleasantly seamless, the editing is razor-sharp, evoking Manmohan Desai, rushing you from one entertaining scene to the next, without time to figure things out—but just enough to feel. Now, Gabbar Is Back—and you’ll feel his return rocks. Just don’t angry him.

I DINESH VERMA z Spectacular visual effects, a mind-blowing screenplay and superb performances make this an absolute must-watch! I NIKASH z The movie’s direction and screenplay were superb—but the best thing was its visual effects. It truly made this movie worth watching in 3D.

I KUNAL JHA z You have to see this one for its amazing action sequences which make it a really engrossing watch—the fight scene between Iron Man and Hulk is truly an epic one! I SAUMYA KISHAN SINGH Not fully Avenged! z After the first installation of Avengers, this movie is a huge letdown, its lack of screenplay and a good story being really disappointing. The movie also lacked the spectacular action and sense of humour seen in the first installation.

I DHAVAL CHHEDA — Srijana Mitra Das GOOD ★★★ VERY GOOD ★★★★ VERY GOOD +★★★★ As per the MoU, as many as 10 dialysis machines will be made available for every biomedical academy. It is expected that at each academy, 600 dialysis treatments would be conducted every month. The officials claimed that it would be made available in quite affordable prices.
