Rare micro-surgery for infant in Salem GH

The girl child born to Ms Haripriya, wife of one Nagarajan, at the Salem GH on November 13 was found to be suffering from breathing difficulty.

A team of the hospital's pediatric surgeon Dr Ravichandran had successfully undertaken this "very challenging surgical procedure called Thoracoscopy correction" on the infant girl, said the Salem GH dean Dr Balaji Nathan, speaking to reporters here on Friday.

Salem: The Mohan Kumaramangalam government hospital here has successfully performed a rare and technically intricate chest aperture surgery on a ten-day-old infant to correct a congenital defect called 'hiatus hernia (protrusion of an organ, typically the stomach or intesntine through the oesophageal opening in the diaphragm) using 'Thoracoscopy'.

A team of the hospital's pediatric surgeon Dr Ravichandran had successfully undertaken this "very challenging surgical procedure called Thoracoscopy correction" on the infant girl, said the Salem GH dean Dr Balaji Nathan, speaking to reporters here on Friday.

In medical parlance, 'Thoracoscopy' is "visual examination of the lung surfaces and pleural space through a viewing tube" and 'Thoracoscopy' can also be used for certain surgical procedures.

The girl child born to Ms Haripriya, wife of one Nagarajan, at the Salem GH on November 13 was found to be suffering from breathing difficulty, Dr Balaji Nathan said. On examination it was found that the child had protrusion of the intestine, creating problems for the lungs. The right side of the lung had not developed as it should have due to the protrusion of the organ and pressing the heart and left part of the lungs, making it difficult for the child to breathe.

To correct this abnormality required a very sophisticated micro-surgery, a procedure involving a very fine 'aperture' (drilling a hole) on the chest, with the help of 'Thoracosopy' and pushing the protruded intestine into the stomach to help normalize the breathing function, explained the dean.

The procedure was done on November 24 and the child was given artificial respiration for two days, he said, adding, the child was now able to breathe normally. The 'Thoracoscopy' ensures that no scar or injury is caused to the child, he said, adding, such a procedure in a private hospital would have cost Rs. two lakh. But in the GH, it was done free for the benefit of the poor couple under the Chief Minister's Comprehensive Medical Insurance scheme, he added.

Hyderabad vet rape case: Human rights groups condemn unlawful killings

There are major questions being raised whether these killings will make women safer.

The Human Rights Forum demanded that all police personnel who participated in the killing of the accused must be arrested and prosecuted for homicide.

Hyderabad: Human rights groups have called it an ‘alleged encounter,’ ‘cold blooded murder’ and demanded that the police must be booked for homicide.

Civil Liberties Monitoring Committee general secretary, Lateef Mohammed Khan, said, “It is a cold-blooded murder which was meticulously planned and executed. The killing of the suspects has taken away the major clues which would have later shed light on the crime.”

“There are many questions which will remain unanswered forever as the case is now closed. Was there an attempt to save the others in the system? The crime was heinous, no doubt, but there are many lapses in the system which led to the crime. Is the cold blooded murder an attempt to hide these failures?” Mr Khan asked.

After the Nirbahaya incident, the Verma Commission had given a list which must be implemented in the criminal law system. Has that been done, ask the activists.

The Human Rights Forum demanded that all police personnel who participated in the killing of the accused must be arrested and prosecuted for homicide.

G. Madhava Rao, HRF’s Telangana state president, said, “The police have taken advantage of the sentiment of the people and carried out murder. This is the third incident of custodial killing and these are methodical slaying by the police in their physical custody. It is not justice of any kind. It is merely satisfying the collective conscience in an unlawful and murderous manner.”

In December, 2008, three accused in acid attack where murdered in Warangal. In October 20, 2007, two men accused in the murder of Bank of Indore branch manager were murdered by Vishakhapatnam police near Yendada.

Human rights activists state that the police claim of self-defence is farcical.

There are major questions being raised whether these killings will make women safer. The activists say No. Preventing crimes against women requires a long, sustained and complex battle and has to be fought at homes, educational institutes and also places of work.

13,000 fliers denied boarding between May and October

Rajesh.c@timesgroup.com

Chennai:07.12.2019

Citing technical, operational and bad weather conditions, more than 13,000 passengers were denied boarding in airplanes across airports in India between May and October. In a reply to the Lok Sabha, Hardeep Singh Puri, minister of state for civil aviation said that the top 5 airlines, including Air India, Indigo, SpiceJet, AirAsia and Vistara denied boarding to 13,071 passengers. And compensated these passengers with ₹563.7 lakh. More than 120 million passengers fly across airlines in India in a year.

Air India was the worst as it denied boarding to 9,978 persons and paid ₹434.02 lakh in compensation. Spicejet paid ₹86.04 lakh in compensation to 2,624 passengers while the country’s largest carrier Indigo denied boarding to 325 passengers and paid them ₹34.2 lakh. “Today an air passenger has lost his importance as the passenger charter introduced in February is toothless,” said D Sudhakar Reddy, founder of the Air Passengers Association of India (APAI).

“Globally, when a passenger is denied boarding it is rewarding for the passenger, right from upgraded tickets on an alternative date, luxury accommodation and free stay. Airlines in India do not care for passengers,” he said. As per the passenger charter, an amount equal to 200% of the booked one-way base ticket plus airline fuel charges, subject to a maximum of ₹10,000 for alternative flights booked within 24 hours has to be paid. And that compensation doubles to 400% if alternative departure is more than 24 hours. In case the passenger does not opt for alternate flight a refund of full value of the ticket and compensation of 400% of the booked one way basic fare plus airline fuel charges subject to a maximum of ₹20,000 has to be paid as compensation.

Allahabad HC judge booked in medical college scam
Lucknow: 07.12.2019

The CBI has registered a case against seven people, including a sitting Allahabad high court judge, for allegedly taking a bribe to pass a favourable order to allow Prasad Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) to admit students. PIMS, on the Lucknow-Kanpur Road, was one of the 46 colleges barred from admitting students due to substandard infrastructure and not conforming to teaching criteria in 2017.

The FIR (registered on December 4) against Allahabad HC judge S N Shukla comes four months after the then Chief Justice of India, Ranjan Gogoi, gave the CBI sanction to book a serving HC judge. Along with Justice Shukla, the agency filed a case against a retired Chhattisgarh high court judge for corruption and criminal conspiracy. Justice Shukla’s prosecution is the first such case since the 1991 Supreme Court judgment allowing probes against judges. Justice Shukla is accused of favouring PIMS by extending the deadline for admission of students, a contravention of existing rules. The CBI said it conducted searches at the premises of all seven accused, including Justice Shukla, in Lucknow, Meerut and Delhi and recovered several “incriminating documents”.

The searches were carried out at the premises of Justice S NShukla in Vridavan Yojna and IM Quddusi’s residence in Lawrence Terrace. Similar searches were carried out at the premises of PIMS member B P Yadav and his son, Palash Yadav, at Eldeco Greens, and at the residence of co-accused Subhash Giri in Meerut. The searches, officials said, would continue in coming days. The FIR has alleged that Yadav and his son, who have been managing the PIMS trust, held several meetings with conspirators in the case. The agency had earlier arrested former Chhattisgarh HC judge I M Quddusi a day after it had registered the first FIR in the case in September 2017. TNN

SC: No pension for govt employees who resign

TIMES NEWS NETWORK

New Delhi:07.12.2019

Making a distinction between voluntary retirement and resignation, the Supreme Court has said that government employees will not be entitled to pension if they resign from service as it forfeits their past service.

Referring to the Central Civil Services Pension Rules, a bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud and Hrishikesh Roy said that in case of resignation, the entire past service would be forfeited, and consequently, an employee would not qualify for pensionary benefits. The pension rules apply to government servants, including civilian government servants in the defence services, appointed before December 31, 2003.

The court passed the order on an appeal filed by BSES Yamuna Power Ltd challenging an order of the Delhi High Court directing it to provide pension to an employee who resigned after 20 years of service. The HC had said that the employee was entitled to get voluntary retirement after completing 20 years of service and he was, therefore, entitled to pensionary benefits after resigning. The apex court, however, said taking voluntary retirement and resigning from job are two different things and pension cannot be given in case of resignation.

“Where an employee has resigned from service, there arises no question of whether he has in fact voluntarily retired or resigned. The decision to resign is materially distinct from a decision to seek voluntary retirement. The decision to resign results in the legal consequences that flow from a resignation under the applicable provisions. These consequences are distinct from the consequences flowing from voluntary retirement and the two may not be substituted for each other based on the length of an employee’s tenure,” the bench said. The apex court said though both involve voluntary acts, they operate differently.

PRESERVE BODIES OF ACCUSED, HC TELLS STATE GOVT
Videograph post-mortem: HC

07.12.2019

The HC on Friday directed the state government to preserve bodies of the four accused till December 9. It said the post-mortem process must be videographed. The bench, headed by Justice MS Ramachandra Rao, and which included Justice K Lakshman, said videos must be submitted to district judge in Mahabubnagar by 6pm on December 9. The order was passed following representation filed by members of National Alliance of People’s Movements, Human Rights Forum activists and other women’s groups. The letter was converted into PIL by Justice Rao, who heard it as a house motion at his residence late Friday evening. “Video-record the post-mortem and furnish a copy in form of CD or pen drive to district judge of Mahabubnagar,” Justice Rao ordered.

Activists appealed to HC to direct formation of special team of autopsy surgeons — other than from Telangana and AP — to conduct independent videographing of post-mortem. They also sought formation of special forensic team for independent examination. “It would be a fallacy to even think that some kind of justice has been served by abandoning all due process,” the letter read. The activists requested HC to order that case be handed over to CBI. The next hearing is on December 9. TNN
