Tags:
The AP High Court has ruled that the victims of Dalit carnage in Vempenta village of Kurnool district were eligible for compensation under Rule 12(4) of the SC, ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Rules, 1995. While allowing a petition by Nukala Ramanamma and others, Justice G.V. Seethapathy directed the state and the Centre to consider the case of the petitioners for payment of compensation under the Act and arra-nge payment to them subject to their eligibility, within six weeks from the date of receipt of the order. The petitioners approached the court after the denial of compensation by the district collector on the ground that their husbands were accused in murder of the Pamulapadu village sarpanch in 1998.
HC relief for SBI facilitators
Justice P.V. Sanjay Kumar of the AP High Court granted interim suspension of proceedings issued by the SBI in trying to terminate the services of the banking business facilitators. The judge was dealing with a plea by Banking Business Facilitators Association and 102 others, challenging the proceedings issued by the bank on April 4, 2012. Senior counsel S. Ramachandra Rao, arguing for the petitioners, said that his clients have been rendering service as facilitators for the past four to six years and termination of their service is violative of the Reserve Bank of India's directions passed in 2006.
While ordering the interim suspension of the proceedings, the judge made it clear that this shall not preclude the bank form undertaking ‘case basis’ review for the purpose of ascertaining their contribution and the desirability of their being continued further in accordance with law.
