2G Spectrum Case In Supreme Court

New Delhi:  The government has filed the presidential reference in Supreme Court asking if its judgment in the 2G case makes auctioning of natural resources compulsory.

With many telecom companies challenging the cancellation of their licenses by the Supreme Court, the government wants complete clarity on that landmark judgment. The Department of Telecom feels that the judgment has ramifications on several other sectors. So the government has put together a list of questions that will be delivered to a five-judge bench of the Supreme Court where the matter will be debated. The queries include whether a process of auction has to be followed in the allocation of all natural resources, and if so, whether that amounts to the court interfering with the government's work by setting policy.

In February, two Supreme Court judges cancelled 122 telecom licenses issued in 2008 by then Telecom Minister A Raja. The judges said that Mr. Raja had manipulated the rules to show undue favors to companies that he allegedly conspired with - he is in jail for selling licenses at throwaway prices to ineligible firms.  But while Mr. Raja may have twisted the first-come-first-serve policy that was the rule at the time, the judges also said that this method of allocating natural resources like spectrum is ‘fundamentally flawed.’ Only an auction, they said, ensures transparency and fair pricing. The government was also told to re-allocate the cancelled mobile licenses within four months. Politics Powerpoint Templates

The Supreme Court admitted the government's review petition filed earlier seeking clarification on the process of auction to be followed on the cancelled licenses. But it rejected 10 other petitions filed by telecom companies seeking review of its February order.

The government's follow-up questions will be put to the Supreme Court in the form of a Presidential Reference - on the advice of the government; the President of the country seeks advice from the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

5,000 Register At Bareilly Employment Exchange with Powerpoint Templates

BAREILLY: With thousands of youngsters turning up for registration at the employment exchanges everyday for the unemployment allowance, officials at the exchange in Bareilly are battling 'overload' of registration work. On Sunday, around 2,700 registrations were done and nearly 3,100 youngsters were given with registration forms. On Monday, the employment exchange officials registered around 5,000 youngsters whereas as many as 11000 unemployed youngsters were provided registration forms, including 5500 girls. The officials made provisions of issuing date in order to avoid chaos on the premises.

In this regard, assistant employment officer, Chandrachoon Dubey said, ‘The announcement for employment allowance by the SP has brought employment exchanges to limelight, as these used to bear deserted look earlier. This time, we're overloaded with registration work. Sudden interest among the youngsters, especially girls, for registration has made it difficult for us to manage as everyone wants his/her registration done on priority basis. For this, we've requested the administration to deploy women police to control the girls as day before yesterday, some of them barged into the office and snatched the forms.’

Another official, who has been deployed to distribute the forms, said, ‘The crowd flocking in is exceptional and the number of people on the small premises has been surging with each passing minute.’ Powerpoint Templates

At many places, police had to use force on Sunday to control long queues of the applicants. Around 11,000 youngsters, who had swarmed the employment exchange office for registration, created ruckus after delay in distribution of forms on Monday.

They caused a heavy traffic jam on the station road and police had to use force to manage the irate boys and girls. Due to this backdrop and in order to facilitate the girls, the district administration has planned to set up separate registration counters for them at Urban Haat, Bareilly.

DM Subhash Chand Sharma, said, (We've directed the regional employment officer on the issue and nearly eight new counters shall start functioning for registration in the employment exchange office.)

Sheetal Sinha, who is pursuing post graduation diploma, says, ‘I want to avail this opportunity as Rs 12,000 is not a small amount for me. This can reduce some burden of my family. Moreover, I can easily use this money to fill forms for various competitive examinations or can deposit my post-graduation fees.’ Besides this, the new CM should also pay focus on generating means of employment and employment opportunities, she added.
