+NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Friday directed the CBI to cancel the look out circular (LOC) issued against former IAF chief SP Tyagi, who is an accused in the VVIP chopper scam.
+
+
+Special judge Arvind Kumar directed the probe agency to inform the concerned authorities about it.
+
+CBI had issued LOC against Tyagi in 2013. It is a circular issued by the authorities to check if a person who is travelling is wanted by the law enforcement agencies.
+
+The CBI on September 1, 2017, had filed a charge sheet in the case in which Tyagi and British national Christian 
+Michel were named as accused along with others.
+
+Eight others were also named in the chargesheet in connection with a bribery case in the VVIP chopper deal.
+
+Tyagi (73) is the first chief of the Indian Air Force to be chargesheeted in a corruption or a criminal case by the CBI and he has denied all charges against him.
+
+On January 1, 2014, India scrapped the contract with Italy-based Finmeccanica's British subsidiary AgustaWestland for supplying 12 AW-101 VVIP choppers to the IAF over alleged breach of contractual obligations and charges of paying kickbacks to the tune of Rs 423 crore by it for securing the deal.
+
+The CBI has alleged there was an estimated loss of 398.21 million euro (approximately Rs 2,666 crore) to the exchequer in the deal that was signed on February 8, 2010 for the supply of VVIP choppers worth 556.262 million euro.
+
+Besides Tyagi, the agency has also chargesheeted retired Air Marshal JS Gujral along with eight others, including five foreign nationals, in the charge sheet filed in the court.
+
+The company, AgustaWestland, is also one of the accused.
+
+Others named in the charge sheet are -- Tyagi's cousin Sanjeev alias Julie, advocate Gautam Khaitan, alleged European middlemen Carlo Gerosa, Christian 
+Michel, Guido Haschke, former AgustaWestland CEO Bruno Spagnolini and former Finmeccanica Chairman Giuseppe Orsi.

+KOLKATA: Expressing concern over the prevailing atmosphere of "fear and hatred" in the country, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah on Friday said no religion was greater than the other.
+
+
+Abdullah, while speaking at a programme here, said people must strive to build a country where all religions were equally revered.
+
+"No religion is greater than the other. When I look into your eyes, I see my God, when you look into my eyes, you see your God. Because there is no difference. The creator is the same," the veteran politician said at the 11th edition of 'World Confluence of Humanity, Power and Spirituality' here.
+
+The National Conference (NC) leader urged people to understand and respect people of other communities.
+
+"Have we been able to build that India where we can survive together in happiness? No. We have created an India where there is fear and hatred... Please love each other and understand each other's pains," he said.
+
+Observing that no one cared about religion during blood transfusion in hospitals, Abdullah said, "Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians have the same blood flowing through their veins."
+
+He apprehended that a day might arrive when the oppressed class revolts against the politicians and privileged sections for not giving them their due.
+
+"As a nation, we must try and remove class and communal disparities and treat our neighbours with kindness and love," he added.

+SHILLONG: The water level in a flooded mine in Meghalaya receded a few inches on Friday, holding out a sliver of hope for the survival of the more than dozen men who have been trapped inside the illegal coal pit since December 13 without any food and water, police said.
+
+
+As frantic rescue efforts continued for the ninth day in the mine in East Jaintia Hills district, Chief Minister Conrad Sangma said it is a major challenge and time is running out.

+
+National Disaster Response Force team present at the coal mine in Meghalaya's East Jaintia Hills, where 13 workers… https://t.co/ndFC1lOSZB— ANI (@ANI) 1545389726000
+The water in the 370-feet-deep rat hole mine initially increased after the levels in the nearby Lytein river went up. Water from the river gushed into the pit on December 13, trapping the miners.
+
+At present only two high power pumps are being used to flush out the water from the flooded mine.
+
+"We need more pumps. That is the crux of the matter as time is running out to rescue the miners alive," the chief minister told PTI at his office here.
+
+About 200 high power pumps are needed to flush out the water from the flooded mine, he said.
+
+"The local people are saying this and that is the scale of work we are looking at. It is a major challenge as time is running out," he added, expressing his concern about the survival of the trapped men who many fear could be dead.
+
+According to Superintendent of Police (SP) of East Jaintia Hills district (SP), S Nongtynger, work on pumping out water is on with the hope that the water level will recede.
+
+Rescue efforts have been futile since the water level in the flooded mine in East Jaintia Hills district has not receded since December 13.
+
+Over 100 personnel from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) as well as the state police are camping on top of the mine.
+
+The lives of the miners are at a very high risk if the rescue operation continues without much results, warned a doctor from a leading hospital.
+
+"They have been without food and water we were informed. Time is running out for them if that is the case. Every minute is precious and authorities have to sort out the problem at the earliest possible time," he said.
+
+Mining expert and award winning rescuer Jaswant Singh Gill on Thursday visited mine and suggested that the state government seek help from Coal India.
+
+Gill, who shot to fame after he successfully rescued 64 miners from a flooded quarry in West Bengal in 1989, arrived at Lumthari village in the district and expressed concern after seeing the water level at the mine and on receiving inputs about rat hole mining practised in the state, a police officer said.
+
+"As it is established that water that got in the mine was from the nearby river, we have to find out the location and plug it to prevent further water flow into the mine," Gill told reporters.
+
+"I have also advised the government to request Coal India to bring four to five high power submersible pumps which can be returned after use," he said.
+
+The district authorities are in the process of sending Gill's advice to the state government, a senior district told PTI on Friday.
+
+The chief minister also said he is yet to get an official report from the deputy commissioner on the recommendations made by Gill, the former mining engineer and mine expert.
+
+A National Green Tribunal (NGT) committee has asked the state government to pay compensation to the next of kin of all who have been killed in mine accidents in the state.

+RANCHI: The Jharkhand high court on Friday deferred the hearing on bail petitions moved by jailed RJD chief Lalu Prasad after the CBI counsel said he was yet to receive a report on the former chief minister's health condition.
+
+
+Advocate Kapil Sibal appeared for Prasad in the court.
+
+After considering the CBI counsel's request, the court of Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh fixed January 4 as the next date for hearing, Prabhat Kumar, another lawyer representing the RJD chief, told reporters.
+
+"CBI counsel Rajiv Sinha had requested the court to fix another date for hearing on the bail petition on the ground that he was yet to get a status report on the petitioner's health from his doctors," he added.
+
+On December 11, Prasad filed petition in the high court requesting bail in three fodder scam cases in which he has been convicted, citing old age and poor health.
+
+In his petition, Prasad said he was now 71 and suffering from diabetes, blood pressure and other ailments and that he had already obtained bail in one of the fodder scam cases.
+
+Prasad has been convicted in fodder scam cases pertaining to fraudulent withdrawal of money from Deoghar, Dumka and two Chaibasa treasuries.

+He is currently facing a fifth case pertaining to Doranda treasury.

+BENGALURU: Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram Friday said the Rs 60,000 crore worth Rafale deal should not go "unchallenged" after the Supreme Court expressed its limitations to examine it because of its jurisdictional limits.
+
+
+He alleged the Centre deliberately misled the court and later accused it of "misinterpreting" the note.
+
+"The government is also giving lessons in English grammar to the court," he told reporters here.
+
+"A defence deal worth Rs 60,000 crore that will leave the country with only 36 aircraft, as against 126 contracted for under the UPA, cannot go unchallenged or unexamined, especially after Supreme Court expressed its limitations to examine the case due to jurisdictional limits," Chidambaram said.
+
+The party (Congress), therefore, is taking up the cause before the people and asking them to support its demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to probe the deal, he said.
+
+The former Union finance minister also questioned the decision to cancel an earlier MoU and enter into a new agreement.
+
+The governments of India and France had entered into an MoU under which India would buy 126 Rafale twin-engine multi-role fighter aircraft, he said.
+
+The price per aircraft discovered through an international bid opened on December 12, 2012 was Rs 526.10 crore, Chidambaram said, adding Dassault, the manufacturer, would supply 18 aircraft in fly-away condition.
+
+The remaining 108 aircraft would be manufactured in India at the Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd's (HAL) facilities in Bengaluru using Dassault technology that would be available to HAL under a Transfer of Technology agreement, he said.
+
+"This MoU was cancelled and the prime minister announced the new deal on April 10, 2015," he added.
+
+Chidambaram also questioned the government for its decision to buy only 36 aircraft when the need was for at least 126 aircraft.
+
+He said by all accounts, the government was purchasing the same aircraft from the same manufacturer under the same configuration.
+
+"The last phrase is found in the joint statement dated April 10, 2015. Is it true that the price per aircraft under the new agreement is Rs 1,670 crore (as disclosed by Dassault) and, if true, what is the justification for the three-fold price increase?" he said.
+
+The former finance minister said if the price of the aircraft under the new agreement was indeed cheaper by 9 per cent, as claimed by the government, "why is it buying only 36 aircraft and not all the 126 aircraft offered by Dassault?".
+
+He also asked the reason for scrapping the agreement to transfer the technology to HAL, which has an experience of 77 years and has manufactured a variety of aircraft under licence from the respective manufacturer.
+
+"When entering into the new agreement, there was no mention of Transfer of Technology from Dassault to HAL," he said.
+
+Chidambaram said former French President Francois Hollande had disclosed that the Indian government had suggested the name of a private sector company as the offset partner, and that France and Dassault had "no choice" in the matter.
+
+The Centre, however, has denied that it had suggested the name.
+
+"The question that arises is, did the government suggest any name at all and, if not, why did it not suggest the name of HAL?" the Congress leader added.

+BJP rath yatra Bengal: Calcutta high court puts BJP's rath yatra in West Bengal on hold for now

+KOLKATA: A division bench of the Calcutta high court on Friday quashed a single bench order that had allowed BJP's 'Rath Yatra' in West Bengal and asked it to hear the case afresh to consider intelligence inputs by state agencies.
+
+
+The single-judge bench of Tapabrata Chakraborty was asked to dispose the matter expeditiously after considering whether there were adequate materials to arrive at the conclusion to allow the 'yatra' as proposed by the BJP.
+
+The division bench said the order needs to consider afresh with the 36 intelligence inputs submitted by the state government before the single bench.
+
+Advocate General Kishore Dutta, representing the state, said that the single bench had not considered the intelligence inputs submitted to it in a sealed cover and had returned it to him without even opening it.
+
+He had submitted intelligence inputs from 31 police districts and five police commisionerates before the bench, which he said talked about apprehension of communal unrest if the BJP's proposed roadshows were allowed.
+
+The 'Rath Yatra', which was originally scheduled to start on December 7 but was denied permission by the state government, has become the latest political flashpoint between the saffron party and the state's ruling Trinamool Congress.
+
+After hearing an appeal by the BJP, a single-judge bench of the high court had on Thursday allowed the mega event, to be flagged off by BJP president Amit Shah under a re-scheduled programme from December 28 to 31.
+
+The West Bengal government, however, challenged the ruling before a division bench of Chief Justice Debasish Kargupta and Justice Shampa Sarkar, which has now quashed the earlier ruling and sent the case back to the single-judge bench.
+
+In its appeal, the government expressed urgency and sought immediate hearing of the matter.
+
+Setting aside the denial of permission by the state government, the single-judge bench had allowed the 'yatra' while noting that courts can interfere if administrative authorities exercise their discretionary powers in a whimsical manner.
+
+Following the court order, the BJP had come up with tentative new dates for its proposed three-phase programme.
+
+After the new order, there is uncertainty once again over the mega event that was to cover all 42 Lok Sabha constituencies in the state ahead of the 2019 general elections.
+
+Earlier on December 6, the same single-judge bench had refused permission to the BJP to hold the 'Rath Yatra', which was scheduled to be flagged off by Shah from Cooch Behar on December 7. The party had then approached the division bench.
+
+The division bench had then asked the state chief secretary, the home secretary and the director general of police to hold a meeting with representatives of the BJP and take a decision on the 'yatra' by December 14.
+
+After parleys with the BJP team, the three officers refused permission for the rallies on December 15 on grounds that they might lead to communal tensions.
+
+Following this, the state BJP had moved the court of Justice Chakraborty again challenging the government's denial of permission and had got a go-ahead on Thursday.
