  • Mla Ratings 2019
    A comprehensive & objective rating of the Elected Representatives’ performance MLA RATINGS 2019 MUMBAI REPORT CARD Founded in 1998, the PRAJA Foundation is a non-partisan voluntary organisation which empowers the citizen to participate in governance by providing knowledge and enlisting people’s participation. PRAJA aims to provide ways in which the citizen can get politically active and involved beyond the ballot box, thus promoting transparency and accountability. Concerned about the lack of awareness and apathy of the local government among citizens, and hence the disinterest in its functioning, PRAJA seeks change. PRAJA strives to create awareness about the elected representatives and their constituencies. It aims to encourage the citizen to raise his/ her voice and influence the policy and working of the elected representative. This will eventually lead to efforts being directed by the elected representatives towards the specified causes of public interest. The PRAJA Foundation also strives to revive the waning spirit of Mumbai City, and increase the interaction between the citizens and the government. To facilitate this, PRAJA has created www.praja.org, a website where the citizen can not only discuss the issues that their constituencies face, but can also get in touch with their elected representatives directly. The website has been equipped with information such as: the issues faced by the ward, the elected representatives, the responses received and a discussion board, thus allowing an informed interaction between the citizens of the area. PRAJA’s goals are: empowering the citizens, elected representatives & government with facts and creating instruments of change to improve the quality of life of the citizens of India.

  • Press Release White Pearls Hotels and Investments Private Limited
    Press Release White Pearls Hotels and Investments Private Limited April 03, 2018 Rating Facilities Amount (Rs. crore) Rating1 Rating Action CARE B+; Stable Long term Bank Facilities 15.00 Reaffirmed (Single B Plus; Outlook: Stable) 15.00 Total Facilities (Rupees Fifteen crore only) Details of instruments/facilities in Annexure I Detailed Rationale & Key Rating Drivers The rating assigned to the bank facilities of White Pearls Hotels and Investments Private Limited (WHIPL) continues to be constrained by its modest scale of operations, leveraged capital structure and weak debt protection metrics. The rating further continues to be constrained by investment in loss-making subsidiaries and its presence in the highly competitive and fragmented industry with demand linkage from the cyclical real estate sector. The rating continues to derive strength from experience and resourcefulness of the promoters in hospitality and real estate leasing business, WHIPL’s long track record and location advantage of its hotel and real estate properties and healthy profit margins. Going forward, the company’s ability to timely receive the lease rentals and maintain occupancy in both hospitality and lease rental business amidst increasing competition along with any further investment in the loss making subsidiaries are the key rating sensitivities. Detailed description of the key rating drivers Key Rating Weaknesses Modest scale of operations: The scale of operations WHIPL stood modest as indicated by its total operating income of Rs.12.58 crore and gross cash accruals of Rs.3.07 crore. Further the net-worth also stood at Rs.17.13 crore as on March 31, 2017. This thereby has limited financial flexibility of the company.

  • A Constructive Critique of India's Fast-Track Courts
    Peterson: Speeding up Sexual Assault Trials: A Constructive Critique of Ind Article Speeding Up Sexual Assault Trials: A Constructive Critique of India's Fast-Track Courts Vandana Petersont India has a strong tradition of judicial activism for social change and comprehensive laws designed to combat sexual violence against women. Yet such crime has significantly escalated. In December 2012, a widely publicized assault occurred in Delhi. The victim's death triggered a frantic response from many quarters including legal scholars, religious leaders, global media, and government officials. The central government undertook a comprehensive review of existing mechanisms to deter future crimes against women. Its findings led to the creation or designation of "fast- track" courts to adjudicatecases involving sexual crime against women. This Article posits that designating "special" courts to hear cases of sexual crime can significantly deter such crime, and implicitly address the social norms which typically motivate such crime. However, the fast-track courts that have been established by the central and state governments of India, with minimal logistical or legislative backing, fall short of making any lasting or normative progress. To that end, this Article suggests best practices from specialized courts in other jurisdictions including specialized domestic violence courts in the United States. Parts I and II describe the contemporary challenges faced by Indian society in the area of sexual violence against women. Parts III and IV describe the history and evolution of fast-track courts and identify areas for improvement. Part V suggests incorporating elements borrowed from t The author is a graduate of Smith College and the University of Michigan Law School.

  • 26/11 Accused Fahim Ansari's Lawyer Killed in Mumbai Office
    http://archive.indianexpress.com/story-print/578927/ Print Close Window 26/11 accused Fahim Ansari’s lawyer killed in Mumbai office Express news service Posted online: Fri Feb 12 2010, 03:12 hrs Mumbai : Shahid Azmi, a former TADA detainee, who was the lawyer defending 26/11 co-accused Fahim Ansari, was shot dead this evening by three unidentified men who fled in an autorickshaw after committing the crime in the heart of Mumbai. Ansari is charged with conducting surveys and drawing maps to assist the Lashkar-e-Toiba attackers. According to the Kurla police, the assailants ran into Azmi’s office in Taximen’s Colony, Kurla (West), around 7.45 pm. They fired four rounds, of which three hit the 33-year-old lawyer in the head and chest. Azmi was with a clerk, who hid himself and escaped unhurt. Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime) Deven Bharti said, “We are probing all possible angles. It is true that he had received threats some years back from the Ravi Pujari gang.” He had approached police regarding threats to his life in 2006. He did not have any security although K P Pawar, the lawyer of Lashkar attacker Ajmal Kasab, has Z-category security. Azmi’s first big case was the 7/11 serial explosions aboard local trains in Mumbai in 2006 in which he was defending three accused, including one of the prime accused, Faisal Sheikh, the LeT’s alleged Mumbai chief. He was also the petitioner challenging application of MCOCA in the 7/11 serial blasts case in the Supreme Court.

Urdu, for completely spurious reasons, was declared the national language of Pakistan. Hindi was wrongly but aggressively foisted as the main language of a Unitarian Indian state. The conception of Urdu as a linguistic attribute of South Asian Muslims — the reason for its embrace by Pakistan — would be laughable had it not led to a tragic denouement for the country. The creation of Bangladesh questioned the axiom. Several linguistic groups within Pakistan and many more Muslim clusters in India mock the primacy accorded to Urdu because of a communally enforced error. Likewise, none except a section of the mostly upper caste elite in India speaks Hindi. They condescend to assert that Maithili, Bhojpuri, Awadhi, Brajbhasha, etc are dialects of Hindi. bbèZ]: ` XbÞ] <ःÝ[ Pßb QÝ]ÝèUÝ PÝ RÝÝ Page 2 of 4 The fact is that a speaker of one can’t understand the other.

    TERRORISM IN INDIA 2004 – Current www.hhrw.org These four and half years are the worst in India’s history of fighting terrorism. It is a spectacular four and a half years of mayhem (next to Iraq) when not one terrorist has been caught, not one major case solved (for vote banks). -- Indian Express, Shekhar Gupta, Aug 2, 2008 4000+ were killed in terrorist attacks.

    PRESS INFORMATION BUREAU GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MUMBAI MEDIA FEEDBACK (10TH NOVEMBER, 2009) MAHARASHTRA – POLITICAL MNS lawmakers turn law breakers . Opposition to taking oath in Hindi is condemnable. Oath taken in any of the 22 official languages of India is valid. However, Times View says that the suspension of four MLAs for four years is a punishment meted out to the voters. Instead the house should expel the errant MLAs and hold by-polls (Times of India, Mumbai + DNA, Mumbai + Free Press Journal, Mumbai + Hindustan Times + All other newspapers) MNS MLAs show Raj Culture in Assembly : Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena made a dubious and parochial debut in the assembly on Monday when four of its legislators were suspended for four years after they manhandled SP leader Abu Azmi for taking oath in Hindi. (Economic Times) Raj Thackerey pleased, gives his MLAs a pat on the back . But Ashok Chavan fumes, saying ‘dadagiri’ will not be tolerated (Lokmat, Marathi) MNS blackens the first assembly session of Maharashtra in its Golden Jubilee Year. In the name of promoting Marathi asmita, Raj’s MLAs have in fact hurt the pride of Maharashtra. (Sakaal, Marathi) Fight for Marathi supremacy in the house according to rules . But MNS wants to play ball according to its own set of rules, because all it wants is the instant publicity and they have succeeded in it (Maharashtra Times, Marathi) Rivals team up to pin down the MNS The violence by the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) in the assembly on Monday united the arch-rivals --the Congress-NCP and the Shiv Sena-BJP.
