Justice S K Agarwal expressed his anguish against the investigating officer for his fail- ure to reply to queries including that on the stage of investigation, while hearing the bail petition of DDA’s suspended vice chairman Shubash Sharma. The other accused in the case are former high court judge Shameet Mukherjee, al- leged middlemen Dharma Bir Khattar, his brother Devinder Khattar and hotellier Vin- od Khatri. The court after hearing the argu- ments of the counsel of Sharma, Dharam Bir Khattar and Khatri adjourned for monday. CBI counsel R K Dutt told the court that the agency would oppose their bail on merits of the case. Sharma and Dharam Bir Khattar have been named as accused in all the four FIRs registered by the agency in the DDA scam. Seeking bail of Sharma, his counsel K T S Tulsi said that the accused has been in jail for more than 60 days since he was arrested on April 4 on the basis of the first FIR registered against him.

Shetty admits mafia links TIMES NEWS NETWORK Surat: Surendra Shetty, father of actress Shilpa Shetty’s father, ad- mitted having links with associates of Malaysia- based gangster Fazl-ur- Rehman, claimed police of- ficers interrogating him on Friday. Surendra, accused in the Prafull Sarees extortion case, was interrogated by the investigating official B V Ramani at Umra police station from 10 am to 5 pm on Friday. Ramani told the TNN that during interro- gations, Surendra admitted having talked to Rehman’s associate Uday Shetty alias Ashraf. However, he did not divulge the details of the conversation. Surendra will be interrogated again on Saturday,Ramani told the TNN. Meanwhile, the hearing of the anticipatory bail plea of Shilpa’s mother Sunanda Shetty was adjourned by chief judicial magistrate N A Ijner. The hearing on the affidavit filed on behalf of the state of Gujarat with request for custodial interrogation of Sunanda was also adjourned. The case will now be heard on Monday. Arguing for Sunanda, advocate Kalpesh De- sai told the court that the demand for Sunan- da’s custodial interrogation was driven by malafide intention on the part of the state of Gujarat. He cited some verdicts of the Supreme Court that a woman should not be kept in police lock up for custodial interroga- tion. Keeping in view her age (53) and her coop- eration with the police, the request for custodial interrogation should be rejected, Desai argued. Russia frigates hit a block TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: The three ‘‘stealth’’ frigates being built in Russia for the Indian Navy seem to be cursed. The Navy has once again shelved plans to induct the first of these frigates, INS Talwar,due to recurring glitches in the ‘Shtil’ medium-range surface-to-air missile system on board. Navy chief Admiral Madhvendra Singh was scheduled to leave New Delhi on Thursday to take part in the commissioning ceremony of the first such frigate, INS Talwar, in St Petersberg. But in a last-minute decision, the visit was called off due to continuing problems in the ‘Shtil’ system — de- signed to intercept anti-ship missiles and aircraft. The second frigate, INS Trishul, was supposed to join the Navy soon after INS Talwar. And the third frigate, INS Tabar, was to follow six months later. The delivery schedule of the frigates, which form part of the overall $ 1-billion deal signed in 1997, is running two years behind schedule. The Navy had sent around 40 officers and over 350 sailors to Russia in early 2002 to bring the first two frigates back to India. But they returned emp- ty-handed after languishing in sub-zero tempera- tures at St Petersberg for several months. ‘‘No new date for the commissioning ceremony has been fixed as of now,’’ said an officer.

All quiet after seer’s talks with maulana

TIMES NEWS NETWORK Lucknow: Even five days after Kanchi seer Jayendra Saraswati’s meeting with the All-In- dia Muslim Personal Law Board chairman Maulana Syed Mo- hammed Rabe Hasani Nadvi in Lucknow,there has been no headway over the former’s pro- posal to renew talks be- tween the religious heads and leaders of the two communities on the Ayodhya imbroglio. Talking to a select group of mediapersons at Nadwa College, Mau- lana Rabe disclosed that he had not received any draft proposal from the other side on the modal- ities for renewing talks. During his meeting, the board chairman had told the Kanchi seer that Muslims were bound by the board’s resolution to abide by the court ver- dict on the dispute. He also told the seer that any change in the deci- sion had to be ratified by the board as it involved the larger interests of the community. Maulana Rabe said that during his talks he had suggested to Kanchi seer that a written pro- posal be sent which could be placed before the working committee for reconsideration of its earlier stand on the Ayodhya issue. He had made it absolutely clear that before that was done, there was no ground for the board to hold its meeting. Quoting the board resolution, Maulana Rabe pointed out that ‘‘the mosque would re- main till doomsday in the minds of the Mus- lims, so it was a useless exercise asking Mus- lims to shelve their claims over the land where the Babri Mosque once stood’’. The chair- man had told the Kanchi seer that there was no use holding any fresh talks as all such at- tempts in the past had proved futile.
