Another witness in the 2008 Malegaon blast case was declared hostile after he did not support the prosecution’s case on Wednesday.

According to the prosecution, the witness is a relative of the absconding accused and has refused in court today that had given any statement to the police.
Earlier in the month, another witness was declared hostile after he did not support the prosecution’s case.

The hostile witness had initially given statements under CrPC 161 and 164 when ATS was initially investigating the case. According to the prosecution, this was the 30th witness to turn hostile in the case.

In November last year, the 29th witness had turned hostile in the case.

This person had given statements to the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) in 2008 about accused Lt Col Prasad Purohit and Sudhakar Chaturvedi.

Previously, the 28th witness turned hostile on November 5 after he told the special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court that he does not remember the statement he had given to the earlier investigative agency- Maharashtra Anti-Terror Squad (ATS).

This witness had reportedly given a statement against the sitting Bhopal MP Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur and another accused, identified as Dayanand Pandey, of this case during the initial investigation done by Maharashtra ATS.

However, on November 5, he came before the special NIA court and was confronted with the facts of his statement. He said that he doesn’t remember what he had said in his statement to Maharashtra ATS earlier. He told the special NIA court that he is 75 years old and that is why it is difficult for him to remember what he had said in his statement.

Earlier in September and August, two other witnesses of the case had turned hostile during the special NIA court hearing. One of them, who worked at a hotel in Indore, refused to partially say in court what he had stated earlier to the investigating agency.

On September 29, 2008, six people were killed and over 100 others were injured after an explosive device placed on a motorcycle exploded in Maharashtra’s Malegaon city in Nashik town.

On October 23, 2008, the Maharashtra ATS made its first arrest in connection to the case by apprehending BJP MP Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur.

Later, other accused including Sameer Kulkarni, retired Major Ramesh Upadhyay, Sudhakar Chaturvedi, Ajay Rahilkar, and Sudhakar Chaturvedi were also caught.

On January 20, 2009, the ATS filed a charge sheet in the case after completing its investigation. In April 2011, the central government transferred the investigation into the case to the NIA. (ANI)

Airbus on Wednesday awarded a contract to Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL) to manufacture cargo and bulk cargo doors of the A320neo aircraft family.

The contract is a significant step towards increasing Airbus’ competitiveness in the single-aisle aircraft market and supporting the ramp-up of the A320 programme, said the company statement.
TASL will produce these doors at a new facility in Hyderabad using cutting-edge robotics and automation technology. Each shipset will include two cargo doors and one bulk cargo door. The contract was signed by Olivier Cauquil, SVP Aerostructure Procurement, Airbus and Masood Hussainy, VP and HO Aerostructure and Aero-Engines, Tata Advanced Systems Ltd, at Hyderabad on Wednesday.

“When it comes to supporting the development of India’s industrial capacities, Airbus is walking the talk. The latest contract underlines our continued commitment to ‘Make-in-India’ for an AatmaNirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India),” said Remi Maillard, president and managing director, Airbus India and South Asia.

“In TASL, we have a most trusted and able partner that will support the ramp-up of our A320neo family aircraft that has been the poster child of democratisation and transformation of India’s aviation sector.

Commenting on winning this contract, Sukaran Singh, managing director and chief executive officer, Tata Advanced Systems Ltd, said, “We have an ongoing relationship with Airbus based on trust and operational excellence, and this new contract win will further bolster our partnership in aerospace manufacturing in India.”

Airbus presently procures components and services worth USD 735 million every year from more than 100 Indian suppliers. Every Airbus commercial aircraft and every Airbus helicopter has critical technologies and systems designed, manufactured and maintained in India.

In addition, Airbus will build the C295 military aircraft Final Assembly Line (FAL) with TASL in Gujarat. Airbus said the programme will unlock the potential for cutting-edge design, component manufacturing, aircraft assembly and services capabilities across the value chain.

Together with the supply chain, Airbus said it supports nearly 10,000 jobs in India. By 2025, this number may rise to about 15,000. Further, the C295 military aircraft programme will lead to the creation of 25,000 direct and indirect jobs over 10 years, said the company in a statement. (ANI)

The Supreme Court on Wednesday issued a notice to Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena on a plea of the Delhi government challenging the appointment of ‘aldermen’ by the L-G in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) house.

A bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justices Justices PS Narasimha and JB Pardiwala posted the matter for hearing on April 10.
After Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) won the municipal elections, the Lt Governor appointed 10 aldermen that were opposed by the Delhi government.

The petition of the Delhi government sought the quashing of the orders dated January 3 and 4 whereby the Lieutenant Governor nominated 10 persons to the MCD.

The plea stated that the Lieutenant Governor has “illegally” appointed 10 nominated members to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi on his own initiative, not on the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers.

This is the first time since Article 239AA came into effect in 1991 that such a nomination has been made by the Lieutenant Governor completely by-passing the elected government, thereby arrogating to an unelected office a power that belongs to the duly elected government, the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government stated.

It sought a direction “to nominate members to the Municipal Corporation of Delhi under Section 3(3)(b)(i) of the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957, in accordance with the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers.”

Neither the section nor any other provision of law says anywhere that such nomination is to be made by the Administrator in his discretion. As such, under Article 239AA of the Constitution, the word “Administrator” must necessarily be read as Administrator/Lieutenant Governor, acting on the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers, and the Lieutenant Governor was bound to make the nominations on the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers, the plea added.

In the present case, Delhi L-G was not been vested with any discretionary authority to make nominations to the MCD under either a constitutional provision or any statutory provision, the plea said.

“Accordingly, the only two courses of action open to him were to either accept the proposed names duly recommended to him for nomination to MCD by the elected government, or to differ with the proposal, and refer the same to the President. It was not open to him to make nominations on his own initiative, completely circumventing the elected government. As such, the nominations made by the Lieutenant Governor are ultra vires and illegal, and are consequently liable to be quashed,” the plea added. (ANI)
