Chandigarh: The Punjab and Haryana high court has observed that under the Punjab govt's policy for victims of terrorism, a child adopted after the death of victim is entitled to compassionate appointment . The court emphasized that an adopted child's claim cannot be dismissed solely because adoption occurred after the tragic incident. Justice Harsimran Singh Sethi has passed these orders while allowing a petition filed by Ferozepur district resident, Gurpreet Singh, who was denied the benefit of compassionate appointment in govt service by the state govt through an order passed on May 30, 2016. In this case, Sadhu Ram who was married to Sita Vanti and had three sons and two daughters. The three sons of Sadhu Ram were killed in a terrorist attack. The couple then adopted the son of their elder daughter on Feb 14, 1991, who is the petitioner. At the time of the adoption, the petitioner was four years old. Thereafter, Sadhu Ram also died, and the petitioner lived with Sita Vanti.

The application of the petitioner was rejected on the ground that the said adoption was after the date Sadhu Ram suffered at the hands of terrorists, hence the benefit of compassionate appointment cannot be given. After hearing all the parties, on Nov 18, the HC held that once the adoption is not disputed, the benefit of compassionate appointment can be claimed. Setting aside the impugned order of May 30, 2016, “The Punjab govt is directed to consider the claim of the petitioner for the compassionate appointment. In case the petitioner is found eligible in all respects, he should be allowed the benefit of compassionate appointment.... Let the consideration be completed within a period of eight weeks of the receipt of copy of this order.” We also published the following articles recently Petitioner hasnt surrendered: HC dismisses revision plea The Madhya Pradesh High Court has refused to hear a plea by Malkhan Singh, who was sentenced in a case from Vidisha district. The court stated that Singh had not surrendered to authorities after his appeal was dismissed, making his petition non-maintainable. The court cited a Supreme Court ruling that requires individuals to surrender before filing such petitions.

Retirement Planning: Dividends vs. Growth (Or How About Both?)In a year filled with national election news, Marin County had an ample supply of important stories on the local front. The topics included contentious elections; conflicts over rent control, housing and homelessness; and the persistent problems of water supply, climate upheaval and traffic congestion. A look at top stories for 2024: Politics Marin County voters weighed in on dozens of contests in March and November, electing a new county supervisor, booting incumbents on the Fairfax Town Council and affirming or rejecting a number of ballot measures. San Anselmo Councilmember Brian Colbert claimed the Ross Valley seat on the Board of Supervisors in the runoff election with Kentfield resident Heather McPhail Sridharan. Colbert, the first Black resident elected supervisor in Marin, ran for Katie Rice’s seat after she declined to seek reelection. In Fairfax, division over rent control, development and other issues spurred former Town Council members Frank Egger and Mike Ghiringhelli to run for seats again. They won, forcing incumbents Bruce Ackerman and Chance Cutrano out of office, while incumbent Barbara Coler narrowly retained her seat. The other two incumbents, Stephanie Hellman and Lisel Blash, would have been on the ballot, too, if an earlier recall petition had succeeded. Meanwhile, voters rejected Measure J, an $18 million bond measure for road repairs. In the Tamalpais Union High School District, residents voted last month to approve Measure B, a $289 million bond to pay for repairs and maintenance projects, after rejecting a $517 million measure in the spring. In San Rafael, voters narrowly approved Measure P, a parcel tax to support the construction of a new library and community center. In Novato, voters passed Measure M, a three-quarter-cent sales tax expected to raise about $10.3 million annually as the city addresses its chronic deficits. Also, with Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential race, Marin officials, educators, nonprofits and immigrant advocates began to gird for potential policy shifts and funding cuts promised during the campaign. Rent control Voters in Larkspur, San Anselmo and Fairfax rejected four ballot measures in November that would have enacted tougher rent-control laws in their communities. In Larkspur, voters weighed in on Measure K, which would have made the rent-control ordinance voters narrowly upheld in March stricter while also adding tenant protections. Fairfax residents voted on Measure I, which would have repealed the rent-control and renter protections that the Town Council approved in 2022. In San Anselmo, voters were asked to make the call on two related rent-control measures. Measure N would have enacted a rent-control ordinance approved by the Town Council by a 3-2 vote in April, and Measure O would have penalized landlords of properties with three or more dwellings who terminate a tenancy due to no fault of the tenant. Flood control In March, San Anselmo residents voted to withdraw the town from Marin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 9. The measure was brought on by a faction of residents who said millions of dollars in stormwater drainage fees collected by the district since 2007 have largely been wasted, and that a district plan to remove an old bridge in downtown San Anselmo to reduce flood risk is misguided. Opponents to the move said removing the bridge is a key component of a plan to reduce flooding risk for about 500 Ross Valley homes. Despite San Anselmo dropping out of the taxing district, residents in Ross, Larkspur and Fairfax did not see an increase in their storm drainage fee this year. The controversial removal of the bridge known as Building Bridge 2 was supposed to be done over the summer, but was postponed to 2025 because of Federal Emergency Management Agency requirements and local permitting requirements. Water supply After rain returned in a big way last year, the trend continued into 2024 with the Marin Municipal Water District and the North Marin Water District receiving above-average rainfall counts. The Marin Municipal Water District recorded 62 inches of rain from July 2023 through June, or about 120% of the average of 52 inches. The North Marin Water District recorded 34.5 inches of rain at Stafford Lake, its reservoir in Novato, exceeding its average of 27.3 inches. Since 2023, the district has been examining the best ways to increase water supply ahead of the next drought. A recent analysis showed that a project to modify Nicasio Reservoir’s spillway gates to add 3,000 acre-feet of water storage would be the most efficient way to boost supply. The $5 million project is anticipated to produce 750 acre-feet of water annually in dry conditions. An acre-foot is about 326,000 gallons. Other potential projects include enlarged reservoirs, a desalination plant, new pipelines to connect to the Russian River and other improvements to the water supply system. Public safety After years of work on a lifesaving barrier on the Golden Gate Bridge, officials celebrated the completion of the $224 million project this year. “This deterrent is not just a physical barrier, it is a symbol of our collective effort to prevent the loss of life and the lifelong heartache that follows,” said Kymberlyrenee Gamboa, whose 18-year-old son Kyle Gamboa died after jumping off the bridge in 2013. “This deterrent shows we care, that we all care about human beings, that we all care about life.” Also this year, e-bike safety was enhanced by new school rules and legislation. The development came amid public health reports that injuries are rising for youths — especially those younger than 16 — riding e-bikes that travel more than 20 miles per hour. Assemblymember Damon Connolly, a Democrat from San Rafael, introduced Assembly Bill 1778, which aimed to prohibit riders under 16 from operating Class 2 electric bikes and require riders to wear a helmet. The legislation proposed the rules as a pilot program for Marin County. Housing This month, the San Rafael City Council approved a proposal to redevelop the Northgate mall with 1,422 residences around shops and restaurants, capping more than three years of planning and contentious hearings. Detractors objected to the size of the complex and the influx of new residents they said could create traffic and safety issues in the neighborhood. Supporters praised the project for creating needed housing. In Marin City, opponents are resisting a large apartment project at 825 Drake Ave. A group called Save Our City filed a lawsuit last year to void a 3-2 decision by the Board of Supervisors to approve issuing up to $40 million in bonds to underwrite. In November, Marin County Superior Court judge nullified approvals for the tax-exempt bond funds. Meanwhile, the county continued to grapple with homelessness. Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered state agencies this summer to remove homeless encampments, clearing the path for Marin municipalities to begin enforcing new camping rules that had been blocked by the courts. Supported by a $5.9 million grant, San Rafael opened an authorized camping area with 50 tents at Mahon Creek Path in October. The program offers social services and potential access to housing. Marin County is using an $8.67 million state grant to support a project to create housing for about 60 Latino service and agricultural workers in Bolinas. A $3.72 million grant is supporting an effort to find housing for a large group of vehicle inhabitants along Binford Road in unincorporated Novato. Land use After nearly 30 years of wrangling among the landowners and preservationists, the Marin County Open Space District closed escrow this year on its $42.1 million purchase of the Martha Co. property in Tiburon, a 110-acre ridgetop tract with panoramic views. The property is being annexed into the 122-acre Old Saint Hilary’s property, a popular hiking destination. In western Marin, the National Park Service approved a plan to remove a tule elk enclosure fence at Point Reyes National Seashore. But the agency only removed 850 feet of the 2-mile fence before being stalled by a federal lawsuit from the California Cattlemen’s Association, which has asked the court for an injunction. Parks officials and supporters said removing the barrier would enable the elk to access additional habitat, increase the species’ population resilience during drought and promote a more natural population cycle. The California Cattlemen’s Association lawsuit asserts that giving the elk freedom to roam will devastate ranching operations. Child care, education After two years of controversy, Ross Valley School District trustees agreed to sell the property that houses the Fairfax-San Anselmo Children’s Center at Deer Park in Fairfax. The nonprofit Seiderman Legacy Children’s Fund closed escrow on the $2 million deal in May and offered the children’s center a long-term lease there. The saga began in 2022 after the district deemed the property and determined it needed about $8 million worth of work to bring it up to local and state code. Staff recommended the district evict the center because of the liability concerns, prompting a community outcry. In Mill Valley, environmental issues put plans for a new $130 million Mill Valley Middle School on hold. The delay is for more studies at the campus at 425 Sycamore Ave., which used to be a burn dump. The district’s plan is to demolish the school and rebuild it at the same site. More than 200 parents signed an online petition calling for the district to rethink both the middle school site and the site of temporary classrooms during construction. The petition calls the project site dangerous because of its position on the former dump. A draft environmental impact report, which had been scheduled to be finished in October, won’t be released until February.

Duke's Diaz: QB Murphy faces internal discipline for raising middle fingers in Virginia Tech winAdele has said she will miss her residency shows “terribly” but needs to “move on” after playing her 100th and final show in Las Vegas on Saturday night. The British singer-songwriter, 36, launched Weekends With Adele, located at The Colosseum theatre in Caesars Palace in November 2022. In July, she announced she would be taking a “big break” from music after her run of of sell-out shows at the venue, which seats around 4,000 people. In a social media post on Monday, she said: “Well what an adventure! Las Vegas you’ve been so good to me. “This residency went on to mirror what 30 was about, lost and broken to healed and thriving! “Seems so fitting in the end. The only thing left to do in this case is move on.” The Easy On Me star made a return to the spotlight in 2021 when she released her fourth album, 30. Adele said: “These 100 shows have been so easy to love. “They were all completely different because I got to really be with every single person in the room every night. “I’ve loved every single second of it and I am so proud of it! I will miss it terribly, and I will miss you all terribly too. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! See you next time.” Videos posted online from her concert on Saturday show the singer getting tearful as she bid farewell to Vegas. “It’s been wonderful and I will miss it terribly and I will miss you terribly,” she said. “I don’t know when I next want to perform again.” The singer, full name Adele Adkins, shared an emotional embrace with Celine Dion after she spotted the music artist in the audience during her Las Vegas show last month. In August, Adele played shows in a purpose-built outdoor arena in Munich, with capacity for 80,000 people per night, and told fans on the last night that they would not be seeing her for a “long time”.

He told the Commons: “I am very pleased to be able to announce today the appointment of new lead ministers for disability in each Government department, they will represent the interests of disabled people, champion disability inclusion and accessibility within their departments. “I’m going to chair regular meetings with them and will encourage them to engage directly with disabled people and their representative organisations, as they take forward their departmental priorities. “And I look forward to this new group of lead ministers for disability together driving real improvements across Government for disabled people.” This came during an adjournment debate on International Day of Persons with Disabilities, where Liberal Democrat MP Steve Darling raised concerns about “floating bus stops”, which have a cycle lane between the stop and the pavement. Intervening, the MP for Torbay, who is registered blind, said: “The Government needs to ban floating bus stops.” Sir Stephen said: “I do think this issue about floating bus stops is an important issue which we need to work across Government to reflect on.” Labour MP Debbie Abrahams, who led the debate, had earlier criticised the lack of accessibility for disabled people on trains. The Oldham East and Saddleworth MP said: “Our train network does not have level access, and we heard Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson from the other place make this plea back in the summer, absolutely outrageous what she was put through. “But I was absolutely shocked to find, when I had a presentation of the TransPennine route upgrade, that the rolling stock yet to be commissioned is not going to provide that level access. “It’s absolute nonsense, it’s not even in the design of that procurement, so we must do better than this.”
