Rathore booked for abetment to suicide in Ruchika case

Six years after the CBI dropped the abetment to suicide complaint against former state police chief S P S Rathore in the Ruchika molestation case, the Haryana Police today brought back the charge against the disgraced officer by registering a fresh FIR. - Satyam, Quattrocchi kept CBI busy in 2009 - Sebi panel for compensating victims of public issue scam - Setting up NCTC by the end of the year is feasible - Geetanjali Krishna: The unofficial Tatkal service">Geetanjali Krishna: The unofficial Tatkal service - HC asks CBI to probe forex derivative scam - Court hands over verified documents to Satyam accused The FIR, the third against Rathore since last week, had been registered on the complaint of Ruchika’s brother Ashu, which he filed on December 31, Panchkula SP Maneesh Chaudhary told PTI. Besides Rathore, four other police officers - then Ambala SP K P Singh, ASI Jai Narayan, SI Prem Dutt and ASI Sewa Singh - had been made co-accused in the FIR lodged at the Sector 5 police station here, the police said. The maximum punishment under Section 306 IPC (abetment to suicide) is 10 years imprisonment. Rathore was recently handed down a lighter six months imprisonment by a CBI court in Chandigarh for having molested Ruchika Girhotra here on August 12, 1990. The budding tennis player had attempted suicide at her Panchkula residence on December 28, 1993 and died the following day. The earlier two FIRs against the top cop were registered on the complaints of Ruchika’s father Subhash Chander Girhotra and Ashu for various offences, including attempt to murder, torture and harassment and doctoring the post-mortem report. The SP said the local police had recommended that the third FIR also be entrusted to the seven-member Special Investigation Team(SIT) headed by IGP (Security) S S Kapoor probing the case. The Panchkula SP, who is a member of the SIT, said that subsequently the SIT would recommend to the state government to hand over all the three cases to the CBI as had been demanded by the Girhotra family.

Dual rated dual GST
The long-awaited meeting of the Empowered Committee of State Finance Ministers (EC) was recently held in Delhi and, as was perhaps expected, the EC has come out with a recommendation on what can legitimately be called a “Dual Rated Dual GST System”. There were expectations in certain quarters that the dual GST would be a single rated one at the Federal and the State level for both goods and services. This has not been possible and the EC has now come out with a dual rate model for goods. There has been no mention of whether there will be a dual rate for services as well but the understanding and expectation is that services will be taxed at just the one rate, at the Federal and State levels respectively. This article discusses the dual rate dual GST model for goods in some detail.
