T IMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: Delhi High Court has stayed the order of a lower court directing the police to register a case against an IAS officer who allegedly did not disclose in- formation about Naina Sah- ni’s murder. While announcing the death sentence to Sahni’s husband Sushil Sharma, the court had directed the police to register a case against D K Rao, a senior Gujarat bureaucrat. Rao said in court that Sharma had told him about his wife’s murder. Rao’s advocates Dinesh Mathur and Sima Gulati ar- gued before Justice J D Kapoor and claimed that the lower court had committed an error by directing the po- lice to address the final judgement as a complaint. Mathur said:‘‘By not fil- ing a complaint before the CMM or police, the court has not followed the law.’’ Cheating case against Cong candidate
T IMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: Delhi Police has registered a case of cheating against Narender Kumar Jain, the Congress candidate from Krishna Na- gar constituency.

PTI BJP has lost right to seek votes: Sonia TIMES NEWS NETWORK Ajmer: The BJP has broken all records as far as corrup- tion is concerned and as a re- sult, it has lost the right to seek votes, Congress president Sonia Gandhi told an election meeting here on Friday. Sonia said: ‘‘It seems that BJP leaders are vying with one another to find a place in a book of records for indulging in bribery and corruption.’’ Alleging that corruption is rampant under the NDA rule, she asked: ‘‘On what basis is the BJP seeking votes in as- sembly elections? “The BJP has no right to seek votes from the people af- ter betraying them,’’ the Con- gress president said. Without naming any one, Sonia asked: ‘‘What kind of justice is it where people are not arrested even after being caught on video accepting a bribe?’’

AP Jacko accuser a ‘cancer patient’ West Hollywood: A comedy club owner says he introduced Michael Jackson to the cancer-stricken boy he is accused of molesting two years ago at a time when doctors had given the child three weeks to Jackson live. Jamie Masada, owner of The Laugh Factory in West Hollywood, said the boy had expressed an interest in meeting Jackson and Masada made ‘‘a few phone calls.’’ The child remains in poor health and requires a kidney transplant, Masada said Thursday. ‘‘The kid is not doing very good,’’ Masada said at an annual Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless that he holds at the club. Masada said doctors removed a large tumor from the boy’s stomach some time ago, and at the same time took out one of his kidneys and spleen. Masada said he saw the boy earlier this week and the boy’s remaining kidney is fail- ing and he needs a transplant. He said the teenager was being treat- ed at home, not a hospital, but was get- ting dialysis treatments. It was unclear what effect the boy’s condition could have on the case against Jackson. Masada said he met the boy at a camp where stars teach underprivileged chil- dren about comedy. He said he contacted Jackson’s people and asked that Jackson watch a news re- port about the boy’s condition and the efforts to help him. AP No Chinese reaction yet to Taiwan bill Beijing: China held off on its threatened “strong response” to arch rival Taiwan on Friday after the island’s parliament passed a watered-down referendum bill that fell short of allowing a vote on independence. Taiwan, regarded as a renegade province by China, backed away from a showdown with China ahead of the island’s March 2004 presidential elections — parliament threw out a radical version of the bill proposed by President Chen Shui-bian’s independence- leaning Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). There was no official comment on the move from China’s policy-making Taiwan af- fairs office or foreign ministry on Friday,but analysts said there was no immediate risk of war. “Immediate danger has been avoided temporarily,” Liu Guochen, one of China’s top Taiwan watchers, said. “But there are hints of what is to come,” said Liu, who correctly predicted Chen would win Taiwan’s 2000 presidential elec- tions and end five decades of Nationalist Party rule. China, which says democratic Taiwan must be returned to the fold, by force if necessary, had warned the island of war and a “strong response” in the run-up to pas- sage of the bill. Reuters

Agencies Jacko accuser a ‘cancer patient’ West Hollywood: A comedy club owner says he introduced Michael Jackson to the cancer-stricken boy he is accused of molesting two years ago at a time when doctors had given the child three weeks to Jackson live. Jamie Masada, owner of The Laugh Factory in West Hollywood, said the boy had expressed an interest in meeting Jackson and Masada made ‘‘a few phone calls.’’ The child remains in poor health and requires a kidney transplant, Masada said Thursday. ‘‘The kid is not doing very good,’’ Masada said at an annual Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless that he holds at the club. Masada said doctors removed a large tumor from the boy’s stomach some time ago, and at the same time took out one of his kidneys and spleen. Masada said he saw the boy earlier this week and the boy’s remaining kidney is fail- ing and he needs a transplant. He said the teenager was being treat- ed at home, not a hospital, but was get- ting dialysis treatments. It was unclear what effect the boy’s condition could have on the case against Jackson. AP Paparazzi acquitted in Diana-Dodi case Paris: A Paris court on Friday acquitted three press photographers who took pictures of Princess Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed on the night of their fatal car-crash six years ago. The court found Jacques Langevin, Chris- tian Martinez and Fabrice Chassery not guilty of breaching France’s strict privacy laws when they photographed the pair in- side their limousine. The case came to court as a result of a civ- il suit filed by Dodi’s father, Egyptian bil- lionaire Mohamed Al Fayed. The three were among the eight paparazzi and one dispatch rider who followed Diana and Dodi on the night of August 31 1997, when the pair were killed in a crash in a Paris underpass along with their limousine driver Henri Paul. AFP China mum on Taiwan Beijing: China held off on its threatened “strong response” to arch rival Taiwan on Friday after the island’s parliament passed a watered-down referendum bill that fell short of allowing a vote on independence. Taiwan, regarded as a renegade province by China, backed away from a showdown with China ahead of the island’s March 2004 presidential elections — parliament threw out a radical version of the bill proposed by President Chen Shui-bian’s independence- leaning Democratic Progressive Party. There was no comment from China’s Tai- wan affairs office, but analysts said there was no immediate risk of war. Reuters
