Union Minister for Water Resources Uma Bharti today said a “task force”, headed by Padma Bhushan awardee Dr Kharag Singh Valdiya and comprising water experts and historians, will look into the veracity of the claim. “The ministry will think further about the river only after its veracity was found,” Bharti said. On whether the Centre will provide help to revive the river, she said it needed to be established whether it was Saraswati. The task force has been asked to ascertain the veracity of the claims of discovery of Saraswati in Haryana and Rajasthan. Traces of underground water flow were found in a Yamunanagar village. "Yes, underground water of a river has been found. But it has to be established whether the river was indeed Saraswati" ­ Uma Bharti, Union Minister http://www.tribuneindia.com/article/news_print.aspx?story_id=203594&catid=7&mid=53 1/1

  • A Study of Dissent by Justice HR Khanna in the Habeas Corpus
    A Study of Dissent By Justice H.R. Khanna In The Habeas Corpus Case With Reference To Recent Plea of Veera Sarin In the Supreme Court. Dr. Sanjay K. Mandaokar1 Abstract The author has taken an inspiration to write this work from the recently filed petition by Veera Sarin, an old Lady aged 94 years before the Apex Court. She has challenged the proclamation of emergency in 1975 and prayed to declare it as “wholly unconstitutional”. She has also claimed the compensation for all those traumata through which she and her family has passed. The author has beamed upon the incidental happenings with reference toemergency case (Habeas Corpus case) and the impact of the case on subsequent judicial pronouncements. In this case the dissent of Justice H.R.Khanna in the view of the author is certainly asilver lining in the dark cloud of emergency. The dissenting view of Justice Khanna will certainly provide the impetus to the arguments of the petitioner Veena Sarin. Introduction Recently, the petitioner, Veera Sarin, 94-year-old woman moved a petition before the Supreme Court of India seeking to declare the proclamation of emergency in 1975 as “wholly unconstitutional”. It is filed before a Bench comprising of Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Justice Dinesh Maheshwari and Justice Hrishikesh Roy. Shehas claimed in her plea that, she and her husband were “victims of the atrocities inflicted by the then government authorities during the period of emergency which was proclaimed minutes before the midnight of June 25, 1975.Shehas further contended that, she and her husband, who had a flourishing business of Gold Arts in Delhi at that time, were compelled to leave the country.
