HC dismisses plea to help prisoners change old notes
Delhi-High-Court
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday dismissed a plea seeking intervention to help prisoners lodged in various jails here to get their old currency notes exchanged.
A division of Chief Justice G. Rohini and Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal refused to entertain the PIL which raised the plight of jail inmates hit by demonetisation.
The court enquired about the number of parole applications filed to exchange old notes after the demonetisation move. The petitioner did not have the answer to the court’s query and said no such details were provided by the jails.
“You must have done your research. Why do you assume? You don’t have any information about the parole application on that (demonetisation) ground, not even a single case,” the bench told the petitioner while dismissing the plea.
Additional Solicitor Genreral Sanjay Jain appearing for the government told the court that any money lying at the prisoners’ home can be deposited by family members.
The petition has sought a direction to the Reserve Bank of India, the Centre, Delhi Police and the AAP government to make arrangements to allow inmates to visit their respective banks or go on parole for a few days.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
