High court raps CIDCO for
delay in the grant of NOC
By Chandrashekhar Hendve
VASHI: In a significant judgement delivered on 14 January,
2015, the Bombay high
court has declared that
Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation is the
sole town planning authority for the city and
CIDCO has no role in
the matter. It has also
ruled that CIDCO is
bound to grant the NOC
sought by housing societies if the lease premium sought by it is paid.
It cannot deny NOC on
any ground.
The ruling came in
Designates NMMC as the sole planning
authority for Navi Mumbai
response to a petition
filed by JN-3 type Apartment Owners Association in Sector-9, Vashi.
Some buildings in the
Association had been
declared dilapidated by
NMMC and ordered to
be demolished as they
were considered dangerous for the residents. The Association
had plans to re-develop
them. When it approached NMMC for
passing its plans however, the latter asked it
to get NOC from CI-
DCO. The Association
applied to CIDCO expressing its willingness
to pay the lease premium but the latter was
in no mood to issue the
NOC. That prompted
the Association to file
the petition.
Another important
element of the ruling is
that if CIDCO fails to
issue the NOC even after the receipt of the
lease premium as prescribed, NMMC can go
ahead and clear the development plans ignor-

ing CIDCO. That is considered yet another
blow to CIDCO.
Corporator Kishor
Patkar who has been
guiding the Association
in the matter of redevelopment held a press
conference on Thursday
at which he brought to
light several other facts
relating to redevelopment.
1. CIDCO has badly
exploited the citizens
in the name of transfer charges and lease
premium. According
to Patkar, over the
years CIDCO has collected a sum of Rs
24,000 crores by way

NMMC to recruit
teachers on
contract basis
By Vijay Bhor
CBD-BELAPUR: Navi
Mumbai Municipal
Corporation will immediately recruit teachers
on contract basis. This
announcement was
made by DMC (Administration)
Jagannath
Sinnerkar
in
the
Standing
Committee
on Thursday. “The
short cut
has been
chosen to
overcome
the acute
shortage of teachers in
the municipal schools,”
he added.
The matter was
raised by Suraj Patil
who pointed out that
many English medium
sections started by the
civic body are without
proper teachers. “What
are the students expected to learn without
teachers?” he asked rhetorically. “What is the
use of having grand
buildings if there are no
teachers to teach?”
asked another member
Sindhu Naik. Replying
to the debate, Sinnerkar made the above
announcement.
Vittal More, Vijaya
Gharat and Ram Vichare also took part in
the debate.

Smart cheats on the prowl
By Vikram Gaikwad
RABALE: A smart
cheat is reported to
have accosted an innocent woman and ended
up looting her of ornaments worth Rs
50,000.
The victim, Rekha
Wadkar (50), a resident of Sector-4, Airoli
was walking along the
road on Tuesday. As
she was passing Mauli
Shopping Complex at
about 1.00 pm, she was
accosted by a man. The
man engaged her in
sweet talk for such a
long time that she
seems to have got mesmerized and lost her
senses. When the man
asked her to remove
her jewels, she obeyed
not knowing why. Once
she had removed her
jewellery, the smart
cheat had no problem
in snatching them
from her and walking
away.
A distraught Wadkar then went Rabale
police station and
lodged a complaint.
Robbers galore, target motorists
By Vikram Gaikwad
VASHI: Robbers who
break into parked cars
and loot valuables are
known to be roaming
the city streets. In two
incidents on Wednesday, they are reported
to have broken into as
many cars and made off
with cash worth Rs 22
lakhs.
Amit Gupta, a resident of Kharghar, had
been to APMC market
on Wednesday. After finishing his business, he
parked his Innova car
at a street corner in the
Masala market and
went to have his grub.
When he returned after
about half an hour later, he found the window
glass of his car broken
and cash of Rs 16 lakhs
kept inside missing.
In another incident
a few minutes later,
Dipak Dahiya, a businessman, was driving
along Palm Beach Road
towards CBD. Suddenly, two men in another
car signaled him to
stop. As he drew up,
they told him that his
vehicle has brushed
against another while
in motion. Believing
them, Dahiya got out of
the car to check if his
car has sustained any
damage. That was
enough for the tricksters one of whom managed to slip into his car
and carry off Rs six lakhs kept in a plastic
bag.
APMC police have
registered both a complaints and are investigating.

strike fear at the heart of our very existence. The
plot is masterminded by a maniacal leader whose
organization has its tentacles spread across the
world. As days progress, the unit goes through
escalating challenges with time ticking against them
and risks escalating. At all points, the members of
the unit give it all they’ve got and stand tall to guard
us with all their strength so that we may sleep safe
in our homes. Covert and courageous operations
are performed across Kathmandu, Istanbul, Abu
Dhabi, Delhi and Mumbai as our protectors will
not rest till evil is defeated.
Will the maniacal Maulana Rehman and his band
of evil succeed in striking terror in the heart of
India? Will the Indian Government change gears
from being reactive to proactive and strike? Will
Ajay and his unit be able to prevent this terror
tsunami?

topped by an
absolute monarch
in the form of the
pope, centuries
after such a style
of governance
went out of
fashion elsewhere.
The movie depicts the 54 galleries or salas that
lead to the grandest of finales, the Sistine Chapel
and Michelangelo’s “Last Judgement”, nestle
alongside Saint Peter’s Basilica and take up a good
chunk of the Vatican City State’s 44 hectares. They
contain one of the world’s most extraordinary
collections, built up over six centuries.
The film gets up close and personal with works
by Giotto, Van Gogh, Caravaggio, Raphael,
Leonardo da Vinci, Chagall and Dali.
The movie provides intimate view of the
artwork. You can examine the walls and ceiling of
the Sistine Chapel at closer quarters. But the papal
collection isn’t just any museum. Beyond the

items included, and their historical Cont. on pg. 6

CR To Run Special Trains On
Various Routes This Weekend
23 January, 2015
Was FCAT’s decision a political one?
Leela Samson resigned as the chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), along with several
other members of the body. Samson spoke of corruption,
and interference by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in the Board’s functioning. Their decision to deny a
certificate to Messenger of God, featuring Dera Sacha Sauda sect leader Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, was overturned
by the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal with some riders.
According to Samson, Messenger of God promotes blind
faith and encourages superstition and Ram Rahim Singh is a
controversial figure and faces some charges, and the film
makes claims about his godly stature and miracle-making
abilities. Thus Samson strongly feels that she and her colleagues had been “made a mockery of by the powers of the
Ministry of I&B over the film”.
Film certification in the country is indeed subject to “interference, coercion and corruption”. The problem here is
the fact that other members of the Board also resigned which
points to a larger Government interference.
If indeed the Board changes with the Government, then
it is a political position. To make it apolitical, one would have
to keep the same Board through different Governments but
that doesn’t happen.
It is not only censor board but many a times it is seen
that political parties do interfere in functioning of different
organisations and they never admit that they have tried to
influence the members in taking decisions .
Arun Jaitley called Leela Samson and her nine colleagues
as “rebels without a cause”. The near hysterical reaction of
Arun Jaitely, the Information and Broadcasting Minister,
smacks of the arrogance shown usually by authoritarian Governments. It clearly shows the low tolerance levels of this
Government to criticism.
Why Leela Samson is so aggrieved over the decision of
Film Certification Appellate Tribunal? Why does she think
FCAT lowers down her stature as the chairperson of CBFC?
Perhaps she is aggrieved because she thinks she is absolutely right when it comes to censure of film. Had she taken
it in other way, would it have reminded her of the need to
overlook, analyse and reform the methodology adopted for
censuring a film? Was resigning the right thing for her to
do?
For the country to grow what we need is decentralisation
of power. The interference of political parties in the day to
day functioning of government departments is nothing but a
malaise. Funds required for electioneering from corporate
houses and individuals make people in power vulnerable to
the demands of the former. In retrospect it becomes very
difficult to be fair and square. Whether it is the judiciary or
executive, decisions are always made under pressure, justice trampled upon.
There is always a divided opinion when it comes to ‘Freedom of Expression’. What you may say your right to express may annoy someone else.
A long back, in a story in the Caravan, it was detailed
how Sudarshan, the then RSS chief, during the Vajpeyee government, had called Deepa Mehta to censure her for her
allegedly controversial film Water. He said that every script,
before it reaches to I&B ministry, reaches him. This incident explains the menace of the politics of censorship.
It would be great if the censor board included veteran of
the film industry who have rational outlook and are capable
of taking decision with courage to convince the groups who
support and oppose any film that speaks about religion, politics scam etc.
