કંઈક તો કરવું છે, કંઈક કરી બતાવવું છે..
કંઈક તો કરવું છે, કંઈક કરી બતાવવું છે..
ઘર માટે, સમાજ માટે, દેશ માટે..
પણ પહેલા પોતાના માટે કઈક કરી બતાવવું છે...
કંઈક તો કરવું છે, કંઈક કરી બતાવવું છે..
ભૂતકાળની ભૂલોમાંથી શીખી, ભવિષ્યનો પાયો મજબૂત
કરી
વર્તમાન ક્ષણમાં ભરપૂર જીવવું છે...
કંઈક તો કરવું છે, કંઈક કરી બતાવવું છે..
ના બીજા પર આધાર રાખી, ના એકલા અટૂલા રહી..
સ્વમાન, સાહસ, ઉત્સાહ અને શ્રધ્ધાનો સહારો લઈ
કંઈક તો કરવું છે, કંઈક કરી બતાવવું છે..
ક્યાં સુધી નસીબનો દોષ દેવો, ક્યાં સુધી તકની રાહ
જોવી..
કોઈ તારા માટે શું કામ કંઈ કરે, હવે તો બસ....
કંઈક તો કરવું છે, કંઈક કરી બતાવવું છે..

Sanjiv Bhatt’s bail petition to be heard on Tuesday
Suspended IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt’s bail plea has been deferred for hearing till Tuesday.
By Vijay Shah
Suspended IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt failed to get immediate relief on Monday when a local court in Ahmedabad deferred the hearing on his bail plea for Tuesday. District judge VK Vyas issued notice to the state government and the state police chief in the bail application filed by the IPS officer.
Sanjiv Bhatt has been at loggerheads with the state government over his stance on the Gujarat riots which run contrary to the government claim. He has also dragged Chief Minister Narendra Modi within the shadows of questionable and outright guilty conduct.
The officer had also filed an affidavit before the Supreme Court on the issue. The state government took action on a FIR lodged by one Karan Singh Panth (46), a constable working with Meghaninagar police station in Ahmedababd. In the FIR Pant alleged that Bhatt threatened him and forced him to sign a false affidavit regarding a meeting called by the Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on 27 February 2002.
Bhatt is currently lodged at Sabarmati central jail in judicial custody. IH Syed appeared for Sanjiv Bhatt while public prosecutor Pravin Trivedi appeared for the state.

Paucity of judges result in piling up of cases at Gujarat Co-op tribunal 04.10.2011 | 18:13 Ahmedabad Vijay Shah
More than seven thousand cases are pending before the Gujarat State Co-operative tribunal, a reply to a Right to Information (RTI) application has revealed. The information was sought by the Gujarat Co-operative Tribunal Bar Association. The Association had sought details of cases registered, disposed off and pending each year from 1960 to 2008.
“In1994 there were only 424 pending cases before tribunal as there were four judges to hear the cases. In 2008 the numbers of pending cases reached to 5587 as there were only two judges. We got all the details in reply to RTI plea filed by bar association to co-operative department of the state.” stated Hitendra Shah, President of Gujarat Co-operative Tribunal Bar Association.
“Every year average 500 new cases are filed in the tribunal and there are only two judges to hear the cases, so the toll of pending cases has reached above 7000.” Shah added.
In the year 2007, Gujarat government had amended the Gujarat Cooperative SocitiesAct, 1965. Under Rule 40-A and 78, the qualifications for appointment as judges to the Co-operative Tribunal stated that state government shall appoint a person who is or has been a judge of a Gujarat high court or is or has been a district judge, to be the President of the Gujarat Co-operative Tribunal.
“In 2007 there were four judges but after the amendment, two judges have resigned as they did not possess any legal qualification as per to the amendment. Presently, district judge HP Patel and assistant district judge AG Raval are the only two presiding judges.” said shah.
The Gujarat high court had earlier ordered the state government to fill the vacancies of judges at the tribunal.
A practicing lawyer at the tribunal lamented the present situation at the the tribunal and hoped that the government will take necessary action of apointing more judges.
