<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Morning of 11 May 2016 will be a monumental day in the history of Naval Aviation of India as the Indian Naval Air Squadron 300 (INAS 300), ‘White Tigers’, are set to phases out the Sea Harriers fighter aircrafts and make way for new generation of fighters in lieu.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The INAS 300 will thereafter induct the MiG 29K/Kub fighters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Sea Harriers are planned to be given a hero’s send off during a ceremony presided over by Admiral RK Dhowan, Chief of Naval Staff, at INS Hansa, Dabolim, Goa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Traditional Change of Command ceremonies will be held where Commander Shikhu Raj, a Sea Harrier pilot, hands over the command of the squadron to Captain KHV Singh, a MiG 29K pilot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ceremony will also include an air display by Sea Harriers and MiG 29Ks which will mark the last flight of the Sea Harriers in the Indian Navy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A large number of serving and retired Sea Harrier Pilots are expected to attend the function.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Post phasing out of Seahawk fighters from the Indian Navy in 1978, the Navy trained its sight on the S/VTOL Harrier being developed by the British Aerospace. In November 1979, post government approval, Naval HQ placed an order for 06 Sea Harrier FRS Mk 51 fighters and 02 T Mk 60 Trainers. Inducted in the year 1983 the Sea Harriers have dominated the sky at sea protecting the Fleet from prying eyes of foreign Long Range Maritime Patrol Aircrafts. The first three Sea Harriers, landed at Dabolim on 16 December 1983. This was followed by the first deck landing on the carrier, INS Vikrant, on 20 Dec 1983 and the arrival of the first Sea Harrier T Mk 60 trainer, on 29 Mar 1984.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Designed and Manufactured by British Aerospace, Sea Harrier is a naval Short/Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VSTOL) Jet Fighter, Reconnaissance and Strike aircraft.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It first entered service with the Royal Navy in April 1980.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its ability of vertical takeoff and landing is the most unique feature of this fighter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It featured a single Rolls-Royce Pegasus turbofan engine with two intakes and four vectorable nozzles producing 21500 pounds of thrust propelling the fighter at approximately 635 Knots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fighters were capable of Air to Air Refueling to operate at extended ranges.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Sea Harrier operated from both INS Vikrant and INS Viraat where use of the ski jump allowed the aircraft to take off from a short flight deck with a heavier load than otherwise possible, although it can also take off like a conventional loaded fighter without thrust vectoring from a normal airport runway.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Unusual in an era in which most naval and land-based air superiority fighters were large and supersonic, the principal role of the subsonic Sea Harrier was to provide air defence to naval fleet by operating from their aircraft carriers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Sea Harrier is equipped with four wing and one fuselage pylons for carrying weapons and external fuel tanks in addition to two removable 30 mm Aden Gunpods on the fuselage. The Sea Harriers were also equipped with the Matra Magic II and Derby Air to Air Beyond Visual Range (BVR) Missiles which makes the Sea Harrier a potent air defence fighter for the fleet at sea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Sea Harrier was fitted with anti-ship Sea Eagle missile providing the best stand-off range anti ship capability to the fleet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition, the fighters were also capable of firing rockets and dropping bombs in shore bombardment role or in action against lightly armed ship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The aircrafts were operated by Indian Navy and Royal Navy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The squadron was deployed during Operation Vijay and embarked on the carrier during Operation Parakram providing the essential offensive posture to the country and ensuring readiness to react to any escalation by the enemy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition to participating in numerous Naval exercises within the country, these fighters have also participated in large number of multinational exercises.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As part of the Royal Navy, Sea Harriers have served in the Falklands War, both of the Gulf Wars, and the Balkans conflicts, on all occasions it mainly operated from aircraft carriers positioned within the conflict zone. Its usage in the Falklands War (1982) was its most high profile and important success, where it was the only fixed-wing fighter available to protect the British Task Force over 8000 miles from homeland.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The fighters were de-inducted from the Royal Navy in the year 2006. The fighters operated for the last time from INS Viraat on 06 March 2016.</div>

Mumbai: 01 May 2016</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
‘Kalvari’, the first of the Scorpene class submarines, being built at the Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd Mumbai (MDL), went to sea for the first time today. The submarine sailed out at about 1000 hrs under her own propulsion for the first sea trial, off the Mumbai coast and during the sortie. A number of number of preliminary tests on the propulsion system, Auxiliary Equipment and Systems, Navigation Aids, Communication Equipment and Steering gear. Various Standard Operating Procedures were also validated for this new class of submarines. The submarine then returned to harbor in the evening.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This important milestone was achieved by MDL after overcoming a number of challenges faced since launching of the submarine last year in October. During the next few months, the submarine will undergo a barrage of sea trials, including surface trials, diving trials, weapon trials, Noise trials etc. which would test the submarine to the extremes of its intended operating envelop. Thereafter she would be commissioned into the Indian Navy as INS Kalvari later this year. Commissioning of Kalvari will be a re-affirmation of India’s capability to build submarines and a major boost for the ‘Make in India’ programme of the government.</div>

In April last year, the Raksha Mantri, Manohar Parrikar, had visited MDL and directed that all out effort be made to complete the project in time. Accordingly, the teams from MDL, Indian Navy and DCNS have been working round the clock. Today, with the first sea sortie of Kalvari, MDL has achieved a major project milestone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Leveraging on the experience and the transfer-of-technology of the Scorpene project, and with the enhanced and upgraded infrastructure, MDL is ready for undertaking future submarine and shipbuilding projects, in order to meet the growing requirements of National Security.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Background</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
India joined the exclusive group of submarine constructing nations on 07 February 1992, with the commissioning of the first Indian built submarine, INS Shalki. That was indeed a proud day for Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd, who had built this submarine. Mazagon Dock then went on to commission another submarine, INS Shankul, on 28 May 1994. These submarines are still in service today, after more than 20 years; testimony to the skills and capability of Mazagon Dock.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ongoing project for the construction of six Scorpene class submarines, has M/s DCNS of France, as Collaborator and includes ‘Transfer of Technology’, with M/s MDL as the ‘Builder’.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Operational Features</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioNxevhmGxDd6EZsLQWQlimKf_gmy1mLMIb9GU73eY4YgbB6YP_gqVUL-33LmjiSXCAV82vRskmCFJ0m8acGKsoP0T60YeNO048W8-KNLxZ53f9eH_8Ox-y7-shZ72nYjHm5gGDpLZubs/s1600/INS+Kalvari_Scorpene.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioNxevhmGxDd6EZsLQWQlimKf_gmy1mLMIb9GU73eY4YgbB6YP_gqVUL-33LmjiSXCAV82vRskmCFJ0m8acGKsoP0T60YeNO048W8-KNLxZ53f9eH_8Ox-y7-shZ72nYjHm5gGDpLZubs/s320/INS+Kalvari_Scorpene.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
The state-of-art features of the Scorpene include superior stealth and the ability to launch a crippling attack on the enemy using precision guided weapons. The attack can be launched with torpedoes, as well as tube launched anti-ship missiles, whilst underwater or on surface. The Stealth features give it invulnerability, unmatched by many submarines.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Scorpene Submarine is designed to operate in all theatres including the Tropics. All means and communications are provided to ensure interoperability with other components of a Naval Task Force. It can undertake multifarious types of missions typically undertaken by any modern submarine i.e Anti-Surface warfare, Anti-Submarine warfare, Intelligence gathering, Mine Laying, Area Surveillance etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Construction Features</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Submarines are built from special steel, capable of withstanding high yield stress and having high tensile strength, thereby allowing them to withstand high hydrostatic force and enabling them to dive deeper to further enhance stealth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Submarine is built according to the principle of Modular Construction, which involves dividing the submarine into a number of sections and building them parallelly. The equipment is mounted onto Cradles and then embarked into the sections. The complexity of the task increases exponentially as it involves laying of around 60 kms of cabling and 11 kms of piping in extremely congested and limited space inside the submarine. Further, the stringent tolerances laid down for the construction of the Scorpene were indeed a challenge, but have been successfully achieved.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Other Features</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Scorpene is equipped with Weapons Launching Tubes (WLT), and can carry weapons on board which can be easily reloaded at sea, through special handling and loading equipment. The array of weapons and complex sensors fitted on board the Scorpene are managed by a high technology Combat Management System, which integrates various diverse systems fitted onboard into One Formidable Whole.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Status of Submarine</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The submarine was undocked on pontoon on 06 April 2015 in the presence of Hon’ble Raksha Mantri Shri Manohar Parrikar. After completing the important milestones of vacuum test and battery loading, the submarine was launched at the Naval Dockyard on 28 Oct 15 and thereafter brought back to MDL for completion of the Basin trials and Harbour Acceptance trials phase.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After conquering numerous challenges faced during the ‘Setting to Work’ phase and undergoing rigorous harbour tests & trials to the complete satisfaction of the customer, the submarine is now fully ready to undergo for sea trials.<br />

Kalvari is the dreaded Tiger Shark, a deadly deep sea predator. As is the tradition, ships and submarines of the Navy, are brought alive after decommissioning. The first Kalvari, which was also the first Indian submarine, was commissioned into the Indian Navy on 08 December 1967. She was decommissioned on 31 May 1996 after almost 30 years of yeoman service to the nation. In true nautical traditions, she will now be re-incarnated, by Mazagon Dock, once again a powerful predator of the deep, guarding the vast maritime interests and areas of our nation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The commissioning of Yard 11875 (Kalvari), will not only mark a generational shift in technology, insofar as submarine construction in India is concerned, but also for submarine operations by the Indian Navy.</div>

With it’s history of constructing the Leander and Godavari class Frigates, Khukri class Corvettes, Delhi and Kolkata class Destroyers, Shivalik class Stealth Frigates, 1241 RE Missile Boats and the Shalki class submarines, there is now no doubt that MDL has deservedly earned the soubriquet ‘Warship and Submarine Builders to the Nation’. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
MDL’s contribution to national security and nation building will continue with the P-15B class destroyers, the first of which was launched in April 2015, and the P-17A class stealth frigates, the follow-on of the P-17 Stealth Frigates. </div>

Government clarification on issues regarding M/S Agusta Westland International Limited (AWIL) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: top;">
In the matter pertaining to acquisition of Agusta Westland helicopters, the undisputed central issue that stands out is corruption, especially bribery. Any other line of assumption, approach and effort, as is being attempted in some quarters, is misleading, tries to hide the wrong-doers and is driven by instincts of self preservation.<br /><br />Ever since the new government was given the responsibility to serve the people, it has acted with speed, drive and purpose to empower the country's masses. It continues to relentlessly pursue fearless and transparent governance. One of the core goals of our governance has been to unearth and uproot corruption, and punish the corrupt.<br /><br />It is indeed tragic that a small section of the Indian polity has attempted, unsuccessfully, to divert and diffuse the public discourse on this matter. They question the speed of the government processes, especially the investigation. But, they do not ask how the corrupt influenced the process of acquisition in the first place and bled the nation. They donot admit corruption; they instead boldly proclaim, "catch us if you can".<br /><br />The present government has taken effective action to bring out the truth and will leave no stone unturned in pursuing all means to bring to justice the corrupt and the wrong-doers in this case.<br /><br />The investigative agencies remain determined to bring to justice the key perpetrators of this misdeed, both inside and outside the country.<br /><br />The government has acted proactively and with alacrity against Agusta Westland International and Finmeccanica. It is the present government which through its order dated 3 July 2014, put on hold all procurement/acquisition cases in the pipeline of six companies figuring in the FIR registered by the CBI, namely: M/S Agusta Westland International Ltd., UK, M/S Finmeccanica, Italy, and its group companies, including subsidiaries and affiliates, M/S IDS, Tunisia, M/S Infotech Design System (IDS), Mauritius, M/S IDS Infotech Ltd, Mohali and M/S Aeromatrix Info Solution Pvt Ltd, Chandigarh.<br /><br />In doing so, we did not let the preparedness of our defence forces suffer. At the same time, we also ensured that no new capital procurement was made thereafter from these companies in the tenure of the present Government.<br /><br />The factually misinformed have also made a mention regarding clearance of a joint venture involving Agusta Westland by the Foreign Investment Promotion Board. This proposal was approved on 2nd September 2011 based on an application by Indian Rotorcraft Ltd a joint venture of Tata Sons with Agusta Westland NV, Netherlands. This was later changed to Agusta Westland S.p.A Italy due to reorganization within the group. On 7th February 2012, an industrial licence for the manufacture of helicopters was granted by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion to Indian Rotorcraft Ltd. However, the validity of licence has since expired.<br /><br />In their drive to divert the public attention from their own corruption, some have said that the Modi government permitted Augusta Westland to bid for 100 Naval Utility Helicopters in April, 2015. The fact is that a techno-commercial Request for Proposal (RFP) for Naval Utility Helicopters was issued to eight vendors on 4 August 2012. In response to the RFP, M/S Eurocopters, France and M/S Agusta Westland S.p.A Italy submitted their techno-commercial proposals on 4 March 2013. RFP of the procurement case was retracted by the Government on 13 October 2014.<br /><br />The Indian Navy has hosted on the website a Request for Information for more than 100 Naval Utility Helicopter in October 2014. No Request for Proposal has been issued, therefore the question of permitting Agusta Westland to bid for the Naval Utility Helicopter in April 2015 does not arise. The government is exploring whether their manufacturing can be pursued under "Make in India".<br /><br />On the core issue of corruption, the timeline of actions taken by the CBI and Enforcement Directorate clearly shows due rigour and diligence with which these agencies have pursued all aspects of their investigations, including the arrest and extradition of three foreign nationals namely Mr. Carlo Gerosa, Mr. Guido Haschke Ralph and Christian Michel James.<br /><br />CBI has so far investigated over 100 witnesses. In September and November 2014, couple of accused have been arrested and their property attached. A criminal complaint was also filed. Letter of Requests were sent out by ED and CBI to Mauritius (July 2013), Tunisia and Italy (December 2013), British Virgin Islands, Singapore and U.K. (September 2014), UAE and Switzerland (December 2014). The agencies are continuing to pursue responses to the LRs from the countries concerned.<br /><br />Further, an open ended non bailable arrest warrant was issued by CBI against Mr. Christian James Michel on 24 September 2015. Red Corner notices were issued in December 2015 and January 2016 through Interpol under Prevention of Money Laundering Act and Prevention of Corruption Act on charges of conspiracy and abuse of official position in giving favours to M/s AWIL.<br /><br />Extradition request has also been made for Christian Michel James. A request for provision arrest for the purpose of extradition was made to the U.K. authorities on 4 January 2016 by CBI. Enforcement Directorate, another autonomous agency to handle private money laundering and Foreign Exchange irregularities, has also separately sent a Red Corner seeking arrest and a request for his extradition from the U.K. on 29 February 2016.<br /><br />By asking why did Prime Minister and BJP government not take any action on the alleged offer dated 08.11.2015 made by James Christian Michael to be questioned by CBI and ED including on Indian soil, some have even tried to side with a wanted criminal.<br /><br />It is well known that any understanding/agreement with an accused outside the frame of law is a criminal act in itself. James Christian Michael is a criminal wanted by the Indian law enforcement agencies. We are pursuing all legal means to arrest him and have him extradited to India. Mr. Michel should submit himself to the Indian legal system rather than make elliptical references to offers that are suspect in intent and reality. We are determined that the law must take its course against Mr. Michel and his associates in this matter.<br /><br />Those who cannot see Prime Minister succeed even hint at him cutting a deal. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Prime Minister Modi did not cut any deal of any sort. His only goal and priority is the development of comprehensive national power, and empowerment of our masses.<br /><br />A few have even sought to link one of the accused with Shri Ajit Doval, present NSA, as also Shri Nripendra Mishra, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister. This is a totally baseless assertion, devoid of reason and logic, and indicative of malicious intent. In reality, there is no such connection.<br /><br />Individuals in some quarters have even gone to the extent of ascribing intent to the technicalities of the CAG audit of the state governments of Rajasthan and Chattisgarh. They ask as to whey did Modi government not take any action against Chhattisgarh Chief Minister, Dr. Raman Singh despite an indictment of Chhattisgarh government by CAG in purchase of Agusta Westland Helicopter, which led to loss to public exchequer (according to CAG) of Rs.65 lakh?<br /><br />But, the government has been proactive in seeking response from the State governments also. As per the State Government of Chattisgarh, the Public Accounts Committe of the Chattisgarh Vidhan Sabha took cognizance of the CAG report regarding the acquisition that was done in 2007, and took the evidence of State Government officials. After analyzing the evidence of officials and the report of the State Government, the PAC closed the matter.<br /><br />Similarly, as per the State Government of Rajasthan, the alleged loss to public exchequer according to CAG was not on account of any irregularity in the procurement process, but due to the expenditure incurred on account of lack of planning and basic infrastructure prior to procurement, such as pilot training and maintenance. In this case too, the acquisition was done in 2005.<br /><br />The Government appeals to the countrymen not to recognize the nature and depth of corruption in Agusta Westland case. The investigative agencies will stay their course in unveiling the corrupt and holding them accountable to our public. <i>(PR)</i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Publicly available information on the procurement of Agusta
Westland helicopters clearly shows that the core issue in the matter is
corruption. The present Government has taken effective action to bring out the
truth and will leave no stone unturned in pursuing all means to bring to
justice the corrupt and the wrong-doers in this case. The time taken is largely
because some of the key perpetrators of this misdeed are outside the country.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In certain quarters, questions have been raised on certain
trivial technicalities, which appear to be intended to distract attention from
the core issue of corruption. Some of the facts are being highlighted here to
put the issue in correct perspective.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The contract for supply of 12 helicopters signed with AWIL
on 8th February 2010 was terminated with effect from 1st January 2014. The main
reason was breach of the provisions of the Pre-Contract Integrity Pact and
breach of terms of contract by AWIL. However, the company was not debarred by
the said order. Various bonds and bank guarantees were invoked.<o:p></o:p></div>

A mention has been made regarding clearance of a joint
venture involving Agusta Westland by the Foreign Investment Promotion Board.
This proposal was approved on 2nd September 2011 based on an application by
Indian Rotorcraft Ltd., a joint venture of Tata Sons with Agusta Westland NV,
Netherlands. This was later changed to Agusta Westland S.p.A, Italy due to
re-organisation within the group. On 07 February 2012, an industrial licence
for the manufacture of helicopters was granted by the Department of Industrial
Policy and Promotion to Indian Rotorcraft Ltd. However, the validity of the
licence has since expired.<o:p></o:p></div>

On the core issue of corruption, the two concerned agencies,
namely CBI and Enforcement Directorate are vigorously pursuing all aspects of
the investigation, including the arrests and/or extradition of three foreign
nationals, namely, Mr. Carlo Gerosa, Mr. Guido Haschke Ralph and Mr. Christian
Michel James. Red Corner Notices were issued in December 2015 and January 2016
through Interpol under Prevention of Money Laundering Act and Prevention of
Corruption Act. Extradition request has also been made for Mr. Christian Michel
James. One of the agencies (Enforcement Directorate) has arrested an Indian
national and attached approximately Rs. 11 crore of property belonging to
Indian nationals and to Mr. Christian Michel James. <i>(PR)</i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">New Delhi:
India’s nuclear programme has both social applicability and economic viability,
said Dr Jitendra Singh, Minister of State (MoS) in charge of the Department of
Atomic Energy and Space. Dr Singh was speaking on the inaugural day of the
Conference on ‘India’s Role in Global Nuclear Governance’, organised by the
Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA), in collaboration with the
Peace Research Institute, Oslo (PRIO), from February 24-26, 2016.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Indian
nuclear programme, which commenced under the guidance of Homi Bhabha in the
1950s, was focussed on peaceful purposes and has since emerged as a major
source of energy, noted Dr Singh. The programme plays an important role in the
fields of medicine and agriculture too, he added.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Citing lack
of awareness about the benefits of nuclear technology in the country as a major
challenge, Dr Singh observed that it is crucial that India’s nuclear programme
is viewed at par with other nuclear programmes across the world in terms of
safety, security and applicability.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">India has
had an active nuclear programme for the past 60 years without any accidents,
pointed out the Minister, adding that the present government is keen to further
strengthen the nuclear power programme for peaceful purposes and economic growth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Earlier,
discussing different aspects of global nuclear governance - nuclear
non-proliferation, safety, security and disarmament - experts from India and
abroad today took stock of technological evolution and lack transparency as
major challenges for global nuclear governance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Global
governance needs to address the aspirations of an array of developing countries
seeking nuclear energy, and not just those most likely to succeed, noted the
experts. While they cannot be deprived of their rights to the peaceful use of
nuclear energy, global governance laws, regulations and conventions oblige
these countries to fulfil obligations that are in the interests of all, they
added. The experts further observed that evolution in the nuclear governance
regime has historically always been problematic. However, crises such as Iraq’s
nuclear programme have helped in strengthening the regime.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Enlisting
cyber security as another major concern for global nuclear governance, the
experts noted the inadequacy of cyber security training in the nuclear
industry. Even a small cyber attack on a nuclear facility can lead to
disproportionate consequences, it was pointed out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
three-day conference brings together scholars of global nuclear governance from
India and across the world to discuss the challenges and opportunities of the
emerging nuclear governance architecture. It focuses on how India can play a
more proactive role as a driver of new ideas on the subject. Both, nuclear
security issues and non-proliferation frameworks need to be considered while
assessing India’s role in global nuclear governance. India has been playing and
shall continue to play an important role in this respect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
ORDER<br />
Per Justice Devi Prasad Singh<br />
1. This is an application under Section 14 (f) of the Armed<br />
Forces Tribunal Act (for short the Act) read with rule 18 of the<br />
Armed Forces Tribunal Procedural Rules, 2008 (in short the<br />
Rules) for review of order dated 30.10.2012 passed by the<br />
Tribunal in O.A. No. 255 of 2012.<br />
2. We have heard Shri S.S. Rajawat, Ld. counsel for the<br />
applicant, Shri Ankur Chhibbar, Ld. Counsel for applicant-<br />
respondent No. 1 and Shri Sunil Sharma Ld. Counsel for Union<br />
of India assisted by OIC Legal Cell.<br />
3. The applicant and applicant-respondent No. 1 belong to<br />
the same batch of Army Ordnance Corps (AOC) inducted on<br />
22.12.1979. Both have been serving in the organization for the<br />
last 36 years at different places in different capacities.<br />
Admittedly, applicant is senior than applicant-respondent No. 1<br />
and was promoted to the rank of Brigadier as part of 1979<br />
batch. Names of both of them came up for consideration for<br />
promotion to the rank of Major General on 23.10.2011 by<br />
Number 1 Selection Board (No. 1 SB). Admittedly name of the<br />
applicant was approved but it appears that on account of<br />
adoption of “sealed cover procedure” on account of pendency<br />
of court of inquiry, in the light of judgment in the case of Union<br />
<br />

Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
of India & ors vs. K.V. Jankiraman & ors, (1991) 4 SCC 109.<br />
After receipt of recommendation, the Government took a<br />
decision to withhold the result by an order dated 28.10.2011.<br />
For convenience sake order dated 28.10.2011, copy of which is<br />
on record is reproduced in its entirety as under :-<br />

<br />

Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
4. It has been stated by Ld. Counsel for the applicant that<br />
criteria for promotion is merit cum seniority against specified<br />
vacancy by treating the batch mates which is falling in the zone<br />
of consideration based on comparative assessment of profile as<br />
envisaged in policy dated 16.05.1987. Comparative merit is<br />
assessed keeping the number of vacancies available for<br />
placing of officer falling within the zone of consideration and in<br />
case no vacancy exists before the date of retirement, it shall be<br />
transferred to the batch of next year in terms of policy dated<br />
11.12.1991. It is submitted that an officer granted relief by<br />
Court of Tribunal may be promoted if he meets the bench-mark<br />
of last approved case and to meet out the contingency, vacancy<br />
of next batch may be appropriated to promote such officer<br />
notwithstanding vacancy of his batch which has already utilized<br />
all available vacancies.<br />
5. Since respondent No. 1 Major General NK Mehta was not<br />
empanelled by No. 1 SB against sole vacancy of Major General<br />
he assailed the order of non empanelment with a prayer to be<br />
considered for promotion after impinging CR of the period from<br />
01.07.2009 to 22.06.2010 in the O.A. in question. According to<br />
applicant’s counsel he made prayer in spite of the fact that he<br />
was not meeting the bench mark of the present applicant. It is<br />
further submitted that an officer is to be adequately exercised<br />
(AE) for Brig to Major General (No. 1 SB) on Command Criteria<br />
<br />
5<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
appointment for 20 months and must have earned two reports<br />
as per MS policies dated 26.09.2003 and 20.03.2013.<br />
Adequately Exercised appointment is mandatory and according<br />
to applicant’s counsel, respondent No. 1 does not fulfill this<br />
criteria. It is also submitted that while preferring the O.A. this<br />
fact was not brought to the notice of the Tribunal by the Union<br />
of India as well as Army and also it has not been taken into<br />
account by the Tribunal while delivering final verdict.<br />
6. The other submission of applicant’s counsel is that the<br />
applicant’s result was only withheld by the Government (supra)<br />
which the applicant-respondent No. 1 and the Army treated it as<br />
withdrawn with intention to proceed afresh of 1979 batch<br />
though before the passing of impugned order in pursuance to<br />
the judgment/order of Principal Bench, Delhi, D.V. Ban was<br />
lifted and promotions to post of Major General was approved.<br />
7. Being aggrieved with the continuance of court of inquiry<br />
the applicant preferred O.A. No. 88 of 2012 in the Principle<br />
Bench Delhi which was allowed by the Tribunal by order dated<br />
29.05.2012, which has been not disputed by the respondents.<br />
The court of inquiry as well as Discipline and Vigilance (DV)<br />
was quashed by order dated 29.05.2012 and in consequence<br />
thereof the applicant moved a representation to declare the<br />
result and promote him to the post of Major General. Approval<br />
was granted on 23.08.2012. In spite of the fact that applicant’s<br />
<br />
<br />
6<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
O.A. was allowed and approval was granted by the<br />
Government; the officers of 1980 batch were promoted on<br />
20.06.2012, but the applicant’s matter was kept pending. The<br />
result was not declared in terms of Jankiraman’s case (supra).<br />
Order of Tribunal and approval (supra) was not brought into the<br />
notice of the Tribunal at Lucknow, though at that time matter<br />
was pending at Lucknow.<br />
8. Case of applicant-respondent No 1 was again considered<br />
as special review fresh case on the order of MOD but since he<br />
was found below the applicant on merit, once again applicant-<br />
respondent No. 1 was declared unfit and not empanelled for<br />
promotion to the post of Major General. The officers of 1980<br />
batch were promoted. Subject to above the applicant-<br />
respondent No. 1 filed O.A. in the Tribunal at Lucknow in July<br />
2012 without disclosing the outcome of applicant’s case<br />
(supra). In the meantime on 21.08.2012 result of applicant was<br />
declassified and he was approved as 1979 batch AOC against<br />
sole vacancy of Major General being at the top of the merit list.<br />
Now next promotional avenue for applicant is post of Lt Gen.<br />
Subject to above applicant-respondent No. 1 had preferred<br />
Original Application No. 255 of 2012 and claimed the following<br />
reliefs:-<br />
“1) The Hon’ble Tribunal may be pleased to direct<br />
the respondents to produce the entire record of the<br />
<br />
7<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
proceedings including all relevant files and noting of No. 1<br />
Selection Board held on 13/14 October, 2011 and 25<br />
April, 2012, the annual confidential report of the applicant<br />
covering from the period from 01/07/2009 to 22/06/2010<br />
initiated by respondent No. 4 and the relevant file of MS<br />
Branch dealing with the correspondence of the applicant<br />
relating to the impugned annual confidential report for its<br />
perusal.<br />
II) The Hon’ble Tribunal may be pleased to<br />
quash the impugned annual confidential report covering<br />
period from 01/07/2009 to 22/06/2010, the proceedings of<br />
No. 1 Selection Board held on 25 April, 2012 so far as it<br />
related to the consideration of the applicant for promotion<br />
to the rank of Major General and the letter dated 20 June<br />
2012 issued by respondent No. 3 (Annexure-A/1).<br />
III) The Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue<br />
the directions to the respondents to consider the case of<br />
the applicant for promotion to the rank of Major General<br />
afresh without taking into consideration the impugned<br />
annual confidential report for the period from 01/07/2009<br />
to 22/06/2010 as a fresh case of 1979 batch as on 13/14<br />
October, 2011 independently without any benchmark and<br />
thereafter promote him to the rank of Major General w.e.f.<br />
2011 with all consequential benefits including arrears of<br />
salary and seniority etc.<br />
IV) Any other appropriate order or direction which<br />
this Hon’ble Tribunal may deem just and proper in the<br />
nature and circumstances of the case including cost of<br />
the litigation.”<br />
<br />
8<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
9. A perusal of the relief claimed by the applicant-<br />
respondent No. 1 shows that he had made prayer not only for<br />
the quashing of the Confidential Report covering period from<br />
01.07.2009 to 22.06.2010 but also made a prayer for quashing<br />
of the proceeding of No 1 SB held on 25.04.2012 to the extent it<br />
relates to consideration of applicant-respondent No. 1.<br />
Admittedly there was only one post of Major General against<br />
which the applicant was selected by No. 1 SB and the result<br />
was withheld by Government in view of Jankiraman’s case<br />
(supra). At the face of record setting aside the result of No 1<br />
SB was adversely affecting applicant’s career, more so, when<br />
the order has been implemented and the applicant was<br />
promoted on the post of Major General after judgment of<br />
Principle Bench of the Tribunal at Delhi (supra).<br />
Though the applicant has alleged mala fide on the part of<br />
respondent’s in delaying implementation of Principal Bench<br />
Tribunal’s judgment, that too after filing of Execution Case,<br />
resulting in loss of almost 10 months, but that aspect of the<br />
matter is not necessary to be considered at the stage of<br />
disposal of Review Application, being not relevant.<br />
10. A perusal of the order of the Tribunal shows that while<br />
adjudicating the controversy the Tribunal has framed two core<br />
issues as is evident from para 6 of the impugned order which<br />
for convenience sake is reproduced as under :-<br />

Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
“No 1—Whether the impugned Confidential Report<br />
covering the period from 01.07.2009 to 22.06.2010 is<br />
totally invalid on the grounds pleaded on behalf of the<br />
applicant in O.A. and rejoinder affidavit. If so, its impact<br />
qua promotional avenue of the applicant to the rank of<br />
Major General?<br />
No 2—whether there was any bench-mark available<br />
to compare the case of the applicant with 1979 batch vis-<br />
à-vis Brigadier RS Rathore recommended by No 1<br />
Selection Board held on 13-14 October 2011?<br />
(Emphasis supplied)<br />
11. At the face of record while framing core issue No 2, the<br />
Tribunal itself framed an issue to compare the case of the<br />
applicant-respondent No. 1 (Brig N.K. Mehta) with 1979 batch<br />
vis-à-vis Brig RS Rathore, i.e. the applicant for promotion on<br />
recommendation made by No. 1 SB held on 13/14-10.2011. It<br />
appears that the Tribunal inadvertently has not taken note of<br />
the fact that the applicant should have been impleaded as<br />
party/respondent, causing gross injustice in violation of principle<br />
of natural justice. At the face of the record applicant-<br />
respondent No. 1 committed not only substantial illegality but<br />
tried to obtain an order from the Tribunal without impleading the<br />
applicant who seems to be necessary party. While finally<br />
adjudicating the controversy the Tribunal had not only quashed<br />
the Confidential Report covering the period 01.07.2009 to<br />
22.06.2010 but directed the Army/Government to consider case<br />
<br />
10<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
of applicant-respondent No. 1 as fresh case of 1979 AOC, in<br />
spite of the fact that there was only one vacancy against which<br />
the applicant was selected. Operative portion of order dated<br />
30.10.2012 passed by the Tribunal in O.A. No 255 of 2012 is<br />
reproduced as under:-<br />
“12. Accordingly, we quash the impugned<br />
Confidential Report covering the period from 01.07.2009<br />
to 22.06.2010, the proceedings of No 1 Selection Board<br />
held on 25.04.2012 so far as it relates to the<br />
consideration of the applicant for promotion to the rank of<br />
Major General. We direct the respondents to consider the<br />
case of the applicant for promotion to the rank of Major<br />
General as a Fresh case of 1979 batch of Army Ordnance<br />
Corps independently without any bench-mark. Entire drill<br />
requires to be considered as early as possible preferably<br />
within three months from the date certified copy of order<br />
is made available to Ld. Counsel for the respondents. Till<br />
then one vacancy shall be kept vacant. With this direction<br />
the Original Application is disposed of.”<br />
12. The Ministry of Defence, Government of India filed<br />
Review Application No. 19 of 2012 which was dismissed by the<br />
Tribunal re-affirming the impugned order which appears for the<br />
reason that the material facts which were concealed by the<br />
applicant-respondent No. 1 were not brought to the notice of<br />
the Tribunal.<br />
13. Aforesaid relief was granted directing to keep one post of<br />
Major General vacant, though by that time in pursuance to<br />
<br />
11<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
Tribunal’s order (Principal Bench) applicant was entitled to hold<br />
the solitary post of Major General, leaving no vacancy for<br />
applicant-respondent No. 1.<br />
Why Government of India and the Army did not bring into<br />
notice of Tribunal the correct fact, is not understandable.<br />
AGGRIEVED PARTY:<br />
14. Applicant’s counsel as well as counsel for the<br />
respondents had submitted written notes and have argued the<br />
case. The first objection raised by Ld. Counsel for the<br />
respondents is that the applicant is not an aggrieved or<br />
necessary party and rightly he was not impleaded in the O.A.<br />
preferred by applicant-respondent No. 1. It is submitted that<br />
since he was not a party, the review is not maintainable.<br />
15. On the other hand counsel for applicant submits that<br />
applicant was a necessary party since on the sole vacancy<br />
being senior only the applicant could have been promoted and<br />
not the applicant-respondent No. 1 since promotional avenue is<br />
considered on the basis of comparative merit of the candidates<br />
falling within the zone of consideration and there were only two<br />
candidates, i.e. the applicant and the applicant-respondent No.<br />
1 who does not qualify because of only one CR. Thus the<br />
applicant was not only necessary party but also an aggrieved<br />
party. It is submitted by applicant’s counsel that the applicant<br />
<br />
12<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
in the review application categorically stated that since the<br />
applicant is affected by the judgment/order of the Tribunal, the<br />
order requires to be reviewed. In counter affidavit dated<br />
08.02.2016 respondent Government has raised the question<br />
with regard to two CRs as command report and in turn thereto<br />
non eligibility of the applicant-respondent No. 1 but it has not<br />
been considered.<br />
16. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Jasbhai Motibhai<br />
Desai vs Roshan Kumar, Hazi Bashir Ahmad reported in AIR<br />
1976 SC 581 held that expression “aggrieved person” denotes<br />
an elastic, and to an extent, an elusive concept. It cannot be<br />
confined within the bounds of a rigid, exact and comprehensive<br />
definition. English Courts have sometimes put a restricted and<br />
sometimes a vide construction on the expression “aggrieved<br />
person”.<br />
In the case of P. Lal vs Union of India & Ors reported<br />
in (2003) 3 SCC 393 their Lordship of the Supreme Court have<br />
held that a “person aggrieved” means a person who has<br />
suffered a legal grievance that is a man who has been<br />
wrongfully denied of something or to whom something has<br />
been refused wrongfully.<br />
17. Undoubtedly, in case contention of applicant is accepted<br />
(which is subject matter of argument on merit) then it may<br />
<br />
13<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
safely be held that applicant-respondent No. 1 had derived<br />
benefit wrongly from the order of the Tribunal, an order which<br />
could not have been given.<br />
18. It has been established by law that a person shall be<br />
aggrieved by an order or judgment and may be held to be<br />
aggrieved if his or her pecuniary interest is directly affected by<br />
the adjudication or may be divested from such right. In the<br />
present case though it has been stated that no harm will cause<br />
to the applicant, but keeping the pyramidical structure of the<br />
Army and the fact that there was only one post of Major<br />
General, it appears to be correct that the applicant may suffer<br />
from further promotional avenue may be affected in case a<br />
person not qualified is given benefit/placed in the same zone of<br />
consideration with regard to future promotional avenue.<br />
Accordingly the applicant seems to be an “aggrieved party” and<br />
he has right to prefer review application since order was passed<br />
by the Tribunal without impleading the applicant as respondent<br />
and in consequence thereof the applicant could not get<br />
opportunity to submit his case.<br />
NECESSARY PARTY:<br />
19. The second objection raised by respondent’s counsel is<br />
that the applicant is not a necessary party. From the pleadings<br />
of the O. A. as well as order passed by the Tribunal, which is<br />
<br />
14<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
subject matter of review, it is evident that a prayer has been<br />
made by applicant-respondent No. 1 and the same has been<br />
allowed to the affect that applicant-respondent No. 1 be<br />
considered (supra) again without any bench-mark ignoring the<br />
fact that a candidate (applicant) was selected and available in<br />
view of proceedings of No. 1 SB held on 25.04.2012. The<br />
Tribunal has not taken note of the fact that there was only one<br />
vacancy against which applicant was selected and result was<br />
kept in seal cover in view of the Jankiraman’s case (supra)<br />
and belatedly the applicant was promoted on the post of Major<br />
General in compliance of the order of Principle Bench at Delhi.<br />
The directions to ignore bench-mark seems to be in violation of<br />
policy meant for the purpose which may be discussed<br />
hereinafter.<br />
20. There being only one vacancy and respondent being not<br />
qualified could not have been promoted to the post of Major<br />
General by ignoring the bench-mark, that too in the teeth of<br />
applicant’s selection on said post. The result was only withheld<br />
which means it was kept in suspension in seal cover till<br />
completion of court of inquiry (supra). It is well settled law that<br />
where a person duly selected by the commission has not been<br />
impleaded as respondent though he is necessary party then, in<br />
such a case no order adversely affecting such person can be<br />
passed behind his back. (vide; Prabodh Verma Vs. State of<br />

21. In view of above the applicant was necessary party and<br />
why he was not impleaded by applicant-respondent No. 1 and<br />
the Tribunal could not take note of it is not understandable,<br />
more so, when from the core issue framed by the Tribunal and<br />
the relief prayed by applicant-respondent No. 1 in the O.A.<br />
(supra) at the face of record shows that the Tribunal has<br />
considered the subject matter of applicant’s selection vis-à-vis<br />
<br />
16<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
applicant-respondent No. 1 by No. 1 SB and allowed the O.A.<br />
against sole vacancy against which the applicant was selected<br />
by No. 1 SB. The Government and Army not brought into notice<br />
of Tribunal the Principal Bench judgment/order is serious lapse<br />
on the part of the respondents.<br />
CONCEALMENT OF FACTS:<br />
22. It is not disputed that two columns of the CR were<br />
unfilled. Inviting attention of policies dated 26.09.2003 and<br />
20.03.1913 (para 9) it is submitted by applicant’s counsel that<br />
since one of the report criteria of respondent No. 1 was set<br />
aside and since no longer he remains AE, he was not entitled<br />
to be empanelled.<br />
23. It is stated that criteria of AE was very well in force in view<br />
of policy dated 26.09.2003, a copy of which has been placed on<br />
record in affidavit dated 04.01.2016. It is submitted that this<br />
fact has been concealed by the respondents from the Tribunal.<br />
It is further submitted that the revised extract with regard to two<br />
unfilled CR was sent to respondent No. 1 on 26.09.2010, but<br />
the respondent had not disclosed it in the O. A. While filing<br />
counter affidavit the Government/Army has specifically pleaded<br />
this fact in para 2 of the counter affidavit. In the counter<br />
affidavit it has also been stated that the applicant has been duly<br />
recommended by the Selection Board followed letter of<br />
<br />
17<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
approval by the competent authority. It has also been stated<br />
that DV ban was also lifted. This fact is evident from paras 2<br />
and 3 of the counter affidavit under the head “preliminary<br />
objection”, but the Tribunal has failed to take note of the fact<br />
that against sole vacancy no order could have been passed in<br />
favour of applicant-respondent No. 1 since attention seems to<br />
be not invited. The substantial illegality/error seems to be<br />
apparent from the face of record. The affidavit was filed on<br />
11.08.2012.<br />
24. It shall be appropriate to reproduce relevant portion from<br />
the policy dated 26.09.2003, to quote:-<br />
“Promotion on Comd/Staff Appts.<br />
6. Those offrs who are moved fromComd<br />
prematurely and have not earned two CRs in Comd, or<br />
are posted on promotion to Staff appts, may be<br />
considered for further promotion in staff appts only,<br />
provided they have earned min two CRs. Which could be<br />
in criteria/non criteria appts. To be considered for<br />
promotion in Comd assignments, an offr must have<br />
earned min two CRs in criteria appts,<br />
7. This letter supersedes the following policy letters :-<br />
(a) Appx C to Army HQ,MS Branch policy letter no.<br />
04560/1/MS Policy dt 27 Jun 96.<br />
(b) Army HQ,MS Branch policy letter No. 04560/1/MS Policy<br />
dt 01 Jul 03.”<br />
(Emphasis supplied)<br />
<br />
18<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
Aforesaid condition has been reiterated in Policy dated<br />
20.03.2013 in Para 5 with fresh opportunity to complete criteria<br />
in para-9, to become AE, only then officer shall qualify to be<br />
considered for promotion to the rank of Major General. It has<br />
not been considered by the Tribunal or not specifically pressed<br />
and brought on record by respondents.<br />
25. While passing the impugned order the Tribunal has<br />
recorded finding that the result of the applicant was cancelled.<br />
The Tribunal has observed as under :-<br />
“In the rejoinder affidavit, it is pleaded that Court of<br />
Inquiry against Brig Rathore was quashed on technical<br />
ground and allegation against him are still intact. Be that<br />
as it may, but it is clear that on 25.04.2012 there was D.V.<br />
Ban against Brig Rathore. The applicant was considered<br />
for promotion to the rank of Major General as Fresh<br />
(Withdrawn) case on 25.04.2012 for the lone vacancy of<br />
1979 batch. Till then Brig Rathore was not approved for<br />
promotion. His case was kept pending for long and it is<br />
submitted on behalf of the applicant that Brig Rathore was<br />
involved in a disciplinary case even then respondents<br />
awaited for his exoneration as if the vacancy as if the<br />
vacancy was reserved for him and that such type of<br />
averment from the departmental authorities are<br />
unfortunate.”<br />
26. The Tribunal has committed error apparent on the face of<br />
the record while making observation as extracted above. The<br />
applicant’s Court of Inquiry was quashed and the D.V. Ban was<br />
<br />
19<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
removed before the passing of impugned order. His matter was<br />
pending to be implemented and later on it was implemented.<br />
The applicant’s case was only withheld, meaning thereby it was<br />
suspended for period of court of inquiry. Opinion of the No. 1<br />
SB selecting the applicant was not withdrawn. The finding<br />
recorded by the Tribunal; on the face of record seems to be<br />
based on facts ignoring the material on record without<br />
impleading the applicant as respondent. By necessary<br />
implication also the applicant seems to be “necessary party”<br />
and no decision could have been taken by the Tribunal in the<br />
absence of applicant that too without taking note of the<br />
judgment/order of Principal Bench, Delhi.<br />
27. Ld. Counsel for applicant-respondent No. 1 has relied<br />
upon the following cases :-<br />
1. Jaswant Singh Lamba vs Hariyana Agricultural<br />
University & Ors, (2008) 5 SCC 656;<br />
2. A Janardhana vs. Union of India & Ors, (1983) 3 SCC<br />
601;<br />
3. V.P. Shrivastava & Ors vs State of M.P. & Ors, (1996)<br />
7 SCC 759;<br />
4. KK Ajit Babu & Ors vs Union of India & Ors, (1997) 6<br />
SCC 473; and<br />
5. Commissioner of Central Excise Belarpur, Mumbai<br />
vs. RDC Concrete (India) Private Ltd., (2011) 12 SCC<br />

Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
6. Rajesh Kagra & Ors vs. State of Madhya Pradesh &<br />
Ors (2010) 12 SCC 139.<br />
28. In the case of Jaswant Singh Lamba (supra) the<br />
question related to seniority while considering the question with<br />
regard to locus standi, Hon’ble Supreme Court held that only<br />
because second seniority list was published in the same year<br />
and petitioner therein submitted representation it could not be a<br />
ground for unsettling the settled position. The judgment seems<br />
to be passed on facts and circumstances not applicable in the<br />
present case.<br />
29. The case of A Janardhana (supra) also relates to<br />
seniority where in representative capacity certain persons were<br />
impleaded and the Hon’ble Supreme Court held that it is not<br />
necessary to implead applicant in person. This case also does<br />
not apply to the facts and circumstances of the case on hand.<br />
30. The case of V.P. Shrivastava (supra) is matter relating to<br />
inter se seniority between direct recruits and ad hoc promotees<br />
and relates to determination of seniority of ad hoc promotees. A<br />
perusal of para 14 relied upon by Ld. Counsel for the<br />
respondents does not seem to be applicable to the present<br />
case. In that case the petitioner had not challenged the<br />
appointment of promotees and only the procedure provided by<br />
the State with regard to determination of seniority was in<br />
question.<br />
<br />
21<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
31. The case of K.K Ajit Babu & Ors relates to question of<br />
locus standi wherein order 47 CPC has been dealt with<br />
decision of Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) was<br />
challenged. The Hon’ble Supreme Court allowed the review<br />
holding that unless order is reviewed or appealed against, shall<br />
attain finality. In the absence of any statutory provision no<br />
review can be filed. The facts of the case of KK Ajit Babu &<br />
Ors (supra) is not applicable in the present case.<br />
32. In the case of Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited vs.<br />
State of Maharashtra & ors, (2013) 9 SC C 92, the<br />
controversy before the Hon’ble Supreme Court was that in case<br />
a person does not approach the Court clean hand, then<br />
whether some relief may be granted to him? Their Lordships of<br />
Hon’ble Supreme Court held that a person who has not<br />
approached the Court with clean hands concealing material<br />
shall not be entitled to any relief from the Court.<br />
FRAUD:<br />
33. In Dalip Singh vs. State of U.P.,(2010) 2 SCC 114, the<br />
Hon’ble Supreme Court considered the question whether relief<br />
should be denied to the appellant who did not state correct<br />
facts in the application filed before the prescribed authority and<br />
who did not approach the High Court with clean hands. After<br />
making reference to some of the precedents, it was observed:<br />
<br />
22<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
“9….. while exercising discretionary and equitable<br />
jurisdiction under Article 136 of the Constitution, the facts<br />
and circumstances of the case should be seen in their<br />
entirety to find out if there is miscarriage of justice. If the<br />
appellant has not come forward with clean hand, has not<br />
candidly disclosed all the facts that he is aware of and he<br />
intends to delay the proceedings, then the Court will not<br />
non-suit him on the ground of contumacious conduct.”<br />
34. In Oswal Fats and Oils Ltd vs. Commr (Admn),<br />
(20P10) 4 SCCF 728 relief was denied to the appellant by<br />
making the following observations (SCC pp.738-39 paras 10-<br />
20)<br />
“19. It is quite intriguing and surprising that the<br />
lease agreement was not brought to the notice of the<br />
Additional Commissioner and the learned Single Judge of<br />
the High Court and neither of them was apprised of the<br />
fact that the appellant had taken 27.95 acres land on<br />
ease from the Government by unequivocally conceding<br />
that it had purchased excess land in violation of Section<br />
154(1) of the Act and the same vested in the State<br />
Government. In the list of dates and the memo of special<br />
leave petition filed in this Court also there is no mention of<br />
lease agreement dated 15.10.1994. This shows that the<br />
appellant has not approached the Court with clean hands.<br />
The withholding of the lease agreement from the<br />
Additional Commissioner, the High Court and this Court<br />
appears to be a part of the strategy adopted by the<br />
appellant to keep the quasi-judicial and judicial forums<br />
<br />
23<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
including this Court in dark about the nature of its<br />
possession over the excess land and make them believe<br />
that it has been subjected to unfair treatment. If the<br />
factum of execution of lease agreements and its contents<br />
were disclosed to the Additional Commissioner, he would<br />
have definitely incorporated the same in the order dted<br />
30.5.2001. In that event, the High Court or for that reason<br />
this Court would have none suited the appellant at the<br />
threshold. However, by concealing a material face, the<br />
appellant succeeded in persuading the High Court and<br />
this Court top entertain adventurous litigation instituted by<br />
it and pass interim orders. If either of the courts had been<br />
apprised of the fact that by virtue of lease deed dated<br />
15.10.1994, the appellant has succeeded in securing<br />
temporary legitimacy for its possession over excess land,<br />
then there would have been no occasion for the High<br />
Court to entertain the writ petition or the special leave<br />
petition.<br />
20. It is settled law that a person who approaches<br />
the court for grant of relief, equitable or otherwise, it is<br />
under a solemn obligation to candidly disclose all the<br />
material/important facts which have bearing on the<br />
adjudication of the issues raised in the case. In other<br />
words, he owes a duty to the court to bring out all the<br />
facts and refrain from concealing/ suppressing any<br />
material fact within his knowledge or which he could have<br />
known by exercising diligence expected for a person of<br />
ordinary produce. If he is found guilty of concealment of<br />
material facts or making an attempt to pollute the pure<br />
stream of justice, the court not only has the right but a<br />
duty to deny relief to such person”<br />
<br />
24<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
35. In view of above, we sum up the material concealment of<br />
facts (fraud) apparent on the face of record by either side<br />
(applicant-respondent No. 1 as well as the Ministry of Defence,<br />
as follows:<br />
(i) There is only one post of Major General. The<br />
applicant was selected by No 1 SB as officer of 1979<br />
batch but the implementation was withheld in view of<br />
Jankiraman’s case (supra) by the Government. The<br />
respondent Army as well as the Government of India<br />
treated the result in view of Jankiraman’s case (supra)<br />
as cancelled one and incorrectly placed material before<br />
the Tribunal;<br />
(ii) Since there is only one post of Major General,<br />
hence in view of judgment/order of Principle Bench<br />
Tribunal Delhi which was implemented in pursuance of<br />
order of Tribunal in execution case vide approval dated<br />
23.08.2012 no order could have been passed by the<br />
Tribunal on 30.10.2012 against lone vacancy of Major<br />
General for which applicant’s promotion was already<br />
approved. The Army as well as the officers of<br />
Government of India, prima facie, seems to have acted in<br />
collusion by not apprising the Tribunal with the<br />
development which took place with regard to applicant’s<br />
selection. Being one post of Major General, applicant-<br />
<br />
25<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
respondent No. 1 could not have been promoted on said<br />
post. There is serious miscarriage of justice and<br />
concealment of fact on the part of the respondents.<br />
(iii) The policy dated 26.09.2003 as well as policy<br />
dated 20.03.2013 both require for two CRs (supra). The<br />
Government of India/Army in their affidavit dated<br />
08.02.2016 admitted the requirement of two CRs. In the<br />
absence of two criteria report no order could have been<br />
passed by the Tribunal in violation of the policies (supra)<br />
to consider for promotion of applicant-respondent No. 1.<br />
For the reasons best known to the Government of India<br />
and the Army, the Tribunal was not informed regarding<br />
setting aside of one Confidential Report, which prima<br />
facie makes ineligible the applicant-respondent No. 1 for<br />
promotion to the post of Major General. Prima facie there<br />
appears to be concealment on the part of applicant-<br />
respondent No. 1 in not bringing into notice of the<br />
Tribunal with regard to setting aside one Confidential<br />
Report. Being left with only one criteria report against the<br />
requirement of two CRs for applicant-respondent No. 1<br />
could not have been considered for promotion for<br />
empanelment.<br />
(iv) The Tribunal directed the respondents to<br />
consider the case of the applicant-respondent No. 1 for<br />
<br />
26<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
promotion to the rank of Major General as a fresh case of<br />
1979 batch of AOC which apparently seems to be against<br />
the policy. Once the applicant was selected and only the<br />
result was withheld keeping in view the pending court of<br />
inquiry finding at the face of record is not only erroneous<br />
but suffers from substantial illegality.<br />
The Tribunal failed to take note that the applicant-<br />
respondent No. 1 was found unfit in Sep 2012 and special<br />
review date back to Oct 2011 wherein the applicant was<br />
over and above applicant-respondent No. 1. Relevant<br />
date for consideration was Oct 2011 and not Apr 2012 as<br />
held by the Tribunal, more so when the applicant’s case<br />
was already approved after setting aside court of inquiry<br />
and lifting of DV ban and after approval for promotion of<br />
applicant no order could have been passed by the<br />
Tribunal to consider applicant-respondent No. 1.<br />
(v) There was only one vacancy of the post of<br />
Major General hence no order could have been passed to<br />
consider for promotion of applicant-respondent No. 1 in<br />
view of settled proposition of law.<br />
(vi) Neither applicant-respondent No. 1 nor other<br />
respondents placed on the record the judgment/order of<br />

36. At the face of record there appears to be collusive act on<br />
the part of respondents in not inviting Tribunal’s attention to<br />
material facts on record as well as concealing material<br />
development and the facts goes to the core of issue. In the<br />
case of Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (supra) relied by<br />
Ld. Counsel for the respondents their Lordships of the Supreme<br />
Court have declined to condone delay on account of<br />
concealment of fact.<br />
37. From the material on record (supra) it seems to be a case<br />
of commission of fraud and respondents have failed to place<br />
correct material before the Tribunal for the reason best known<br />
to them. Process of law seems to have been abused for<br />
extraneous reasons.<br />
38. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Ram Chandra<br />

concealment of fact or misrepresentation of fact amounts to<br />
fraudulent act and is nullity in law. In the case of K Dalmia vs.<br />

than an intention to commit the fraud. In the case of State of<br />
Maharashtra vs. Budhikota Subbarao (Dr), (1993) 2 SCC<br />
567 Hon’ble Supreme Court has held that fraud is<br />
misrepresentation by one who is aware that it was untrue with<br />
an intention to mislead the other who may act upon it to his<br />
prejudice and to the advantage of the representer. Affect of<br />
fraud on any proceeding or transaction is that it becomes a<br />
nullity.<br />
39. Even a solemn proceeding stands vitiated if it is activated<br />
by fraud. In the case of S.P. Chengalavaraya Naidu vs.<br />
Jagannath (1994) 1 SCC 1 Supreme Court had held that a<br />
fraud is an act of deliberate deception with the design of<br />
securing something by taking undue advantage of another. In<br />
Baburao Dagdu Paralkar vs. State of Maharashtra (2005) 7<br />
SCC 605 Hon’ble Supreme Court has held that by fraud meant<br />
an intention to deceive; whether it is from any expectation of<br />
advantage to the party himself or from ill will towards the other,<br />
is immaterial.<br />
40. In V Papayya Shastry vs. Government of AP (2007) 4<br />
SCC 221 Hon’ble Supreme Court has held that the judgment,<br />
decree or order obtained by plain fraud on the court, tribunal or<br />
authority is a nullity and non est in the eyes of law. Such a<br />
judgment decree or order passed by the first court or by the<br />
final court is to be treated as nullity by every court, superior or<br />
<br />

Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
inferior. It can be challenged in any court at any time, in<br />
appeal, revision, and writ or even in collateral proceedings.<br />
41. In view of A V Papayya Shastry’s case (supra) while<br />
adjudicating the controversy involved in the review the Tribunal<br />
has got right to record a finding with regard to commission of<br />
fraud and nullify the impugned order dated 30.10.2012 and<br />
direct to maintain status quo ante. No person how so high may<br />
be, should be permitted to enjoy office acquired by commission<br />
of fraud even for a day.<br />
42. Much emphasis has been given by Ld. Counsel for the<br />
respondents with regard to power of review with submission<br />
that power of review may not be exercised as appellate forum.<br />
In Thungabhadra Industries Ltd. Vs. Government of<br />
Andhra Pradesh represented by the Dy. Commissioner of<br />
Commercial Taxes Anantapur, AIR 1964 SCC 1372, the<br />
Hon’ble Supreme Court has held as under :-<br />
“A review is by no means an appeal in disguise<br />
whereby an erroneous decision is reheard and corrected,<br />
but lies only for patent error. We do not consider that this<br />
furnishes a suitable occasion for dealing with this<br />
difference exhaustively or in any great detail, but it would<br />
suffice for us to say that where without any elaborate<br />
argument one could point to the error and say here is a<br />
substantial point of law which stares one in the face, and<br />
there could reasonably be no two opinions entertained<br />
<br />
30<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
about it, a clear case of error apparent on the face of<br />
record would be made out.”<br />
43. While considering the twin grounds with regard to power<br />
of review the Supreme Court has held that the first and<br />
foremost requirement of entertaining a review application is that<br />
the order, review of which is sought (a) suffers from any error<br />
apparent on the face of the record; and (b) permitting the order<br />
to stand will lead to failure to justice (vide Rajendra Kumar vs.<br />
Rambhai, AIR 2003 SC 2095; Green View Tea and Industries<br />
vs. Collector, Golaghat, Assam, (2004) 4 SCC 122 and Des<br />
Raj vs. Union of India, (2004) 7 SCC 753.<br />
In the present case there is not only error apparent on<br />
face of record, but if permitted to stand it shall lead to failure of<br />
justice.<br />
44. Ld. Counsel for the applicant has relied upon the<br />
following cases:-<br />
1. Shiv Dev Singh & Ors vs. State of Punjab & ors,<br />
AIR 1963;<br />
2. S Nagraj & Ors vs. State of Karnataka & Ors,<br />
1993 SCC (4) Suppl. 595;<br />
3. Smt Rajpati Devi vs. Ram Sewak Singh & Ors<br />
AIR 2005 SC 595;<br />
4. BCCI & Anr Vs. Netaji Cricket Club & ors, AIR<br />
2005 SC 595;<br />
<br />
31<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
5. Union of India vs. Sube Ram and ors, 1979 (9)<br />
SCC 69.<br />
45. In the case of Shiv Dev Singh & Ors (supra) Hon’ble<br />
Supreme Court has held that court in its inherent power may<br />
prevent miscarriage of justice or to correct grave and palpable<br />
errors committed by it which affected the interest of person who<br />
were not made parties before it to the proceedings.<br />
In S Nagraj & Ors (supra) Hon’ble Supreme Court has<br />
held that court can review its order if it is satisfied that it is<br />
necessary to do so for the sake of justice.<br />
In Smt Rajpati Devi (supra) their Lordships have held<br />
that where the court has failed to consider statement of pivotal<br />
witnesses, it can review its order.<br />
In BCCI & Anr (supra) it has been held that while<br />
exercising jurisdiction of review court has got right to consider<br />
subsequent events to rectify its own mistake.<br />
Union of India vs. Sube Ram and ors (supra) the<br />
Lordships held that subsequent judgment affecting jurisdiction<br />
is open for review.<br />
FINDING:<br />
46. There appears to be no room of doubt that the impugned<br />
order of tribunal suffers from error apparent on the face of<br />
record and requires to be review under Order 47 Rule-1 CPC<br />
<br />
32<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
read with rule 18 of the Armed Forces Tribunal Procedural<br />
Rules, 2008, in nut shell, for the following reasons:-<br />
(i) There is material concealment of facts with regard<br />
to service carrier of respondent No.1 as well as<br />
policies dealing with promotional avenue (supra);<br />
(ii) The core issues framed by the Tribunal (supra)<br />
shows that the case with regard to applicant Major<br />
General R.S. Rathore selection as No. 1, 1979<br />
batch vis-à-vis case of respondent No. 1 was<br />
comparatively assessed by the Tribunal and was<br />
adjudicated. Why the applicant was not made a<br />
party is not understandable.<br />
(iii) Relief claimed by the applicant and order passed by<br />
the Tribunal at the face of the record relates to No.<br />
1 SB and Special Board affecting the applicant’s<br />
right with regard to further promotional avenue on<br />
the post of Lt General, more so, when there was<br />
only one post of Major General for next promotional<br />
avenue. The applicant was the only available<br />
qualified candidate since there was only one post.<br />
There is miscarriage of justice while allowing O.A.<br />
No. 255 of 2012 by order dated 30.10.2012; and<br />
<br />
33<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
(iv) The Government of India as well as the Army had<br />
not brought into notice of the Tribunal that much<br />
before the delivery of impugned judgment/ order,<br />
the applicant was approved for promotion to the<br />
sole post of Major General and no second person<br />
could have been selected in view of only one<br />
sanctioned vacancy. There appears to be deliberate<br />
attempt on the part of certain persons to create<br />
disturbance in the way of applicant by commission<br />
of fraud.<br />
(v) Applicant’s O. A. was decided by the Principal<br />
Bench Delhi (Tribunal) on 29.05.2012 and his<br />
promotion was approved on 23.08.2012 to fill up<br />
sole vacancy of Major General. But this material<br />
factual position was not brought on record, though<br />
the impugned order was passed 30.10.2012.<br />
47. Since the impugned order seems to be outcome of fraud<br />
(concealment of material facts) hence it is liable to be recalled<br />
in view of settled proposition of law (supra) and may not stand<br />
even for a moment causing miscarriage of justice. And once<br />
the impugned order goes, in view of law settled by Hon’ble<br />
Supreme Court in catena of cases (supra) as well as in the<br />
case reported in H.V. Pardasani vs. Union of India, AIR 1985<br />
SC 781, Government of Maharashtra vs. Deokar’s Distillery,<br />
<br />
34<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
AIR 2003 SC 1216, Amarjeet Singh vs. Devi Ratan, (2010) 1<br />
SCC 417, and A.V. Papayya Sastry (supra), all the<br />
subsequent order, decision or action shall stand vitiated<br />
resulting in restoration of status quo ante with regard to<br />
appointments, selection or promotion done in pursuance of<br />
impugned order of this Tribunal.<br />
In the case of Mohd Sartaj & Anr vs. State of U.P., 2006<br />
(2) SCC 315 Hon’ble Supreme Court upheld the judgment of<br />
High Court to dismiss after fourteen years of the teachers<br />
whose initial appointment was not in accordance with rules and<br />
not qualified for the post.<br />
48. It shall be appropriate to reproduce observations of<br />
Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of A.V. Papayya Sastry<br />
(supra) before concluding the present order, to reproduce :-<br />
“22. It is thus settled proposition of law that a<br />
judgment, decree or order obtained by playing fraud on<br />
the court, Tribunal or authority is a nullity and non est in<br />
the eye of the law. Such a judgment, decree or order –by<br />
the first court or by the final court—has to be treated as<br />
nullity by every court, superior or inferior, it can be<br />
challenged in any court, at any time, in appeal, revision,<br />
writ or even in collateral proceedings”.<br />
23. In the leading case of Lazarus Estates Ltd. V.<br />
Beasley (1956 1 All ER 341) Lord Denning observed; (All<br />
ER p. 345 C).<br />
<br />
35<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
“No judgment of a Court, no order of a<br />
Minister, can be allowed to stand if it has been<br />
obtained by fraud”.<br />
“25. It has been said : fraud and justice never dwell<br />
together (fraus et jus nunquam cohabitant); or fraud and<br />
deceit ought to benefit none (fraus et dolus nemini<br />
patrocinari debent)”.<br />
“38. The matter can be looked at from a different<br />
angle as well. Suppose, a case is decided by a<br />
competent court of law after hearing the parties and an<br />
order is passed in favour of a plaintiff appellant which is<br />
upheld by all the court including the final court. Let us<br />
also think of a case where this Court does not dismiss<br />
special leave petition but after granting leave decides the<br />
appeal finally by recording reasons. Such order can truly<br />
be said to be a judgment to which Article 141 of the<br />
Constitution applies. Likewise, the doctrine of merger<br />
also get attracted. All orders passed by the<br />
Court/authorities below, therefore, merge in the judgment<br />
of this Court and after such judgment, it is not open to any<br />
party to the judgment to approach any Court or authority<br />
to review, recall or reconsider the order.<br />
“39. The above principle, however, is subject to<br />
exception of fraud. Once it is established that the order<br />
was obtained by a successful party by practising or<br />
playing fraud, it is vitiated. Such order can not be held<br />
legal, valid or in consonance with law. It is non-existent<br />
and non est and cannot be allowed to stand. This is the<br />
fundamental principles of law and needs no further<br />
elaboration. Therefore, it has been said that a judgment,<br />
decree or order obtained by fraud has to be treated as a<br />
<br />
36<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
nullity, whether by the Court of first instance or by the final<br />
court. And it has to be treated as non est by every court,<br />
superior or inferior.<br />
49. While parting with the case, we feel that corruption has<br />
crept in every system of the country and pray to Almighty to<br />
impart justice and help the country to recognize merit of the<br />
persons serving Nation instead of extraneous considerations.<br />
50. In view of above, the Review Application is allowed with<br />
cost which is quantified to Rs. 25,000 (Rupees twenty five<br />
thousand) which shall be deposited by respondent no. 1 within<br />
three months in the Registry of Armed Forces Tribunal,<br />
Regional Bench, Lucknow and be remitted to AFT Bar<br />
Association. Order dated 30.10.2012 passed in O.A. No. 255<br />
of 2012 is recalled. The O.A. is restored to its original number.<br />
The applicant shall be impleaded as respondent in the O.A. and<br />
may file counter affidavit within four weeks. Two weeks time<br />
thereafter is allowed to file rejoinder affidavit. The case shall be<br />
listed for peremptory hearing.<br />
Since from material on record, there appears to be<br />
concealment of material facts, respondent No. 1, prima facie,<br />
seems to be not eligible for promotion even to the rank of Major<br />
General, we direct the respondents to maintain status quo ante<br />
forthwith.<br />
<br />
37<br />
Review Application No 19 of 2015 Major General R.S.Rathore<br />
51. Let the O.A. be listed for final hearing on 30.03.2016<br />
peremptorily.<br />
52. Let a copy of this order be sent to Secretary, Ministry of<br />
Defence, New Delhi and Chief of the Army Staff within three<br />
days for compliance and necessary action.<br />
53. Review allowed accordingly.<br />

of his 22 years of total service. During
his illustrious career the JCO had taken part in ‘OPERATION PARAKRAM’ where he
laid and recovered large number of mines. He also served in ‘OPERATION RAKSHAK’
at Mendhar in Jammu & Kashmir for two years where he was actively involved
in counter insurgency operations. He again volunteered to serve with Rashtriya

“In the ongoing

Hanamanthappa has been found alive, all the other soldiers are regrettably no
more with us”, said Lt. General DS Hooda, Army commander, Northern Command. “The medical
condition of Lance Naik Hanamanthappa is critical but all attempts are being
made to evacuate him to RR hospital in the morning. We hope the miracle
continues. Pray with us”, said Lt. Gen. Hooda in his official statement released

"These 10 soldiers were in a prefabricated shelter
(Army post). When about 25 to 30 feet snow and ice fell on the shelter, the
structure collapsed giving way to the formation of some air pockets. These men
were burried in snow with wood, snow and other things over them. This one man
was frozen on ground but because of air bubble, he could manage to breath and
hence survived the most inhospitable disaster", says Lt. General (Retd) Syed Ata
Hasnain, who served as Commanding Officer in Siachen and recently retired as
Military Secretary from Indian Army.<o:p></o:p></div>

Earlier, Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, Defence Minister,
Manohar Parrikar and Army Chief, General Dalbir Singh Suhag had passed on condolence
messages. However, search and rescue operation by Indian Army continued and
reinforcement with equipment including radar was sent for the recovery of possible
survivors. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
"The search and rescue efforts from Army were on from
the time avalanche incident came to the notice of Indian Army. Given the
situation, wherein whole ice wall had fallen on the post and all 10 soldiers
burried alive, it is pertinent and a general practice that Prime Minister,
Raksha Mantri pass general condolence messages", adds Lt. General Hasnain.</div>

“It is a miracle and one can assume that ‘God is Indian’. How
did he manage to have air pockets with tonnes of pressure over him is nothing
less than a miracle”.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
“He must have had grits and courage to survive under minus
40 degree almost like in a situation trapped in deep freezer”. One can just pray
that he recovers and does not get any long term disability”, adds Air Vice
Marshal (Retd) Manmohan Bahadur, director, Centre for Air Power Studies, who carried
out multiple rescue operations in Siachen Glacier while in service. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Siachen glacier is the highest battlefield on earth. In
1984, Indian forces were deployed following the discovery that Pakistan is sending
foreign excursion teams and expeditions with lision officer from Pakistani Army.
The Line of Control northward of point NJ9842 is still not defined. Hundreds of
Indian soldiers lost their lives to protect motherland. According to defence sources, withdrawal of
soldiers from Siachen is not possible until the line is properly demarcated and
delineated. Surviving in Siachen is itself a challenge, surviving blizzards,
frostbite is courage but surviving avalanche buried under tonnes of ice is no
less than a miracle. Indian Army’s efforts let this miracle happen as rescue
operation in such inhospitable conditions in itself is no less than a miracle. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
After intense and
exhausting search operations, which has entered its sixth day, rescue parties
have hit the Camp Site and recovered the mortal remains of one Martyr. <br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A new camp has been established at the location to
coordinate the rescue efforts as well as to continue vigil in the sensitive
area. Rescue teams are cutting through upto thirty feet of ice at multiple
locations where our soldiers could be buried. </div>

equipment which was inducted along with the rescue teams. Reports from the ground indicate the efforts
are hampered by frequent snow blizzards, extreme freezing temperatures and low
visibility apart from the effects of rarefied atmosphere in such high
altitude. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The teams are working round the clock and observing all
precautions since the unstable ice and snow in the region could trigger fresh
avalanches. Rescue efforts will continue till all our soldiers are found.<br />

New Delhi, 08 February 2016</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Government sources have told that India is to confront Pakistan
with the fresh evidences provided by David Headley. India is mulling on sending
a fresh dossier to Pakistan to nail the 26/11 masterminds. The evidences being
given by Headley is admissible in Indian court and Pakistan can no longer say
that India is short of evidences. As this evidence is not only more important
than a evidence taken under section 164 CRPC but this is the terrorist
approvers evidence which will corroborate the circumstantial evidences. Government
sources added that it is time Pakistan stops being defiant and stop their sham
investigation and be honest in booking the plotters of 26/11 attack in Mumbai.</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Earlier, David Headley has made
sensational revelations via video conferencing in a Mumbai court where the proceedings
started sharp at 7:15 am. David Headley was connected via video conferencing to depose before special judge GA Sanap. Top cops of Mumbai Police were also
present in Court.</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Questions asked by Public Prosecutor Ujjawal Nikam from David
Headley were in Q & A Format. Headley was asked by Ujwal Nikam to take oath following which David Headley had taken oath. Headley accepted that he speaks English,
Hindi and Urdu.</div>
</div>
<a name='more'></a><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Public Prosecutor Ujjawal Nikam in a press brief said that
Headley had confessed in his deposition before the court to have shifted to
Pakistan after his birth. On two occasions, he answered in Hindi. He informed
the Indian Prosecutor that his original name was Dawood Gilani. To Come to
India Sajid Mir had asked me to get a new passport in the name of David Headley
to avoid detection. He told the court that on 15th February 2006, his name got
changed to David Headley. In Pennsylvania, he applied for new passport to enter
India on new name and identity. “I wanted to use American identity to enter
India. I went to Pakistan after name change. I told my colleagues in Laskhar-e-Taiba
(LeT) about it. Sajid Mir was happy to know that”, Headley reportedly told to
the court during proceedings.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Sajid Mir wanted me to go to India and setup business or
office. He did not specify anything more, but before my first visit he had asked
me to send general video of Mumbai City. I did not ask because I was follower
of LeT and it was obvious. I got new passport on 10th March 2006. I visited India
8 times before the attacks, and 1 time after the attack to Delhi. Seven times I
came from Pakistan (Karachi & Lahore) and once I came to India from UAE”,
David Coleman Headley deposed before the special court.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I submitted my visa application to council general of India
in Chicago. I mentioned wrong info to protect my cover. Except my date of
birth, my mother’s nationality and passport number, rest of all information was
wrong. I got Visa for 5 Years”, David Headley, further
deposed before the Indian Court. <o:p></o:p></div>

“In 2002, I joined Lashkar in Muzaffarabad, Azad Pakistan.
In 1999, I married to Faiza Gilani. Faiza is a resident of Morocco and studying
in Pakistan. I was motivated by Hafiz Saeed ‘Sahib’ to join Lashkar. On 3rd
October 2009, I was arrested by FBI on multiple charges of hatching criminal conspiracy. LeT is a militant organisation to fight
against Indian troops in Kashmir. Mr. Ali who works
for ISI introduced me to Major Iqbal of Pak Army. I met Mr. Ali when I
was arrested at Afghanistan border. He interrogated me then. I was accompanying
Abdul Rehman Pasha, a retired major of Pak Army. I went to Afghan border to
meet drug draler Zaib, who could have helped us to smuggle weapon to India”, Headley revealed in his latest confession.<o:p></o:p></div>

Indian task”, David Colemen Headley deposed before the court. Ujjwal Nikam

Generally when a fleet embarks on a foreign journey , it
makes port calls with friendly countries. But in Chinese case, they had naval
drills too. To contain Chinese influence on Srilanka, Indian aircraft carrier, INS
Vikramaditya also sailed to Srilanka before arriving in Bay of Bengal grom West Coast sailing cross coast. Indian Navy started operating aircraft
carrier barely 14 years after Indian independence and it is considered the
mightiest of the Navies in Indian Ocean Region. IFR lends Indian Navy to showcase its naval might and also promote mutual confidence with other maritime nations. </div>

some of the best and brightest minds in the business of maritime and security
studies confabulate on issues of maritime salience to the world. The IFR which has elements of pomp,
pageantry, action, drill and spectacle will also have a unique intellectual
dimension to it with the Maritime Conference providing a platform for discussion
on contemporary maritime issues.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

Maritime Future” the conference will be conducted on 07 and 08 February. Admiral RK Dhowan, Chief of the Naval Staff
will deliver the theme address setting the tone for the proceedings that follow.
Admiral DK Joshi (Retd), the previous Navy Chief and presently the Chairman of

<a name='more'></a><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The gathering will witness nine eminent speakers from abroad
and two from India taking part and addressing different aspects of the theme.
The conference is also likely to be attended by a glittering galaxy of high
government officials including the Raksha Rajya Mantri (RRM) Rao Inderjit Singh,
National Security Adviser Ajit Kumar Doval, Deputy NSA Dr Arvind Gupta, Air
Chief Marshal Arup Raha Chief of Air Staff, General Dalbir Singh Suhag Chief of
the Army Staff, Chiefs of Navies and Senior Officials from among the 53
participating nations, serving and retired Naval, Army and Air Force officers
and also the academia from the city. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The business end of the Conference will see two sessions
following the inaugural one. These would be moderated by Admiral Madhvendra
Singh (Retd) former Chief of the Naval Staff and Ambassador KV Bhagirath,
Secretary General Indian Ocean Regional Association (IORA) respectively. The
first sub theme of the conference, on 07 February, will examine ‘Importance of
Oceans and Navies in Global Geo Strategic Matrix”. Salient issues likely to be highlighted in
this session are the trends in the growth of maritime military power, force
structures for transnational and state centric challenges, institutional
linkages required for enhancing maritime security cooperation and maritime
capacity building and capability enhancement<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
On 08 February, the Conference will take on the second theme
for the conference and focus on “Regional Perceptions and Approaches for
Maritime Cooperative Engagements”. Some of the key issues likely to be
discussed in this session include managing competition in an uncertain but
increasingly globalised oceanic commons, frameworks for enhancing inter-
operability at sea, maritime domain awareness as a tool for naval cooperation
and relevance of existing international frameworks for conciliation and
arbitration as resolution mechanism. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It is expected that the Conference will see lively
discussions and yield some takeaways towards the larger purpose of the navies
partnering together for the future challenges that the maritime world may
encounter. The proceedings of the seminar will be brought out in the form of a
book by the National Maritime Foundation (NMF) which is the knowledge partner
of the Conference. </div>

It is indeed a privilege for me to have the splendid sight
of majestic warships anchored in these waters of Bay of Bengal. The fluttering
pennants and flags on the dressing lines, happy and proud men in white manning
their ships is indeed heartwarming. I am privileged to be here today with all
of you and review this imposing international parade of ships. 50 friendly
navies have sailed across oceans and sent naval ships and/or delegations to
participate in the first International Fleet Review on the East Coast of India
at Visakhapatnam. On behalf of the Government, and the people of India, I
extend a very warm welcome to all our foreign guests and thank you for
honouring the invitation of our Indian Navy. <o:p></o:p></div>

The navies world over have conducted Fleet Reviews to
symbolise their loyalty, allegiance to the nation, and strengthen bonds between
the sailors and the state. The International Fleet Review 2016 does that and
much more. IFR 2016, while showcasing the prowess of the Indian Navy, has
brought together navies from across the globe here on Indian shores, signifying
our common desire to use the seas to promote peace, cooperation and friendship,
as also to develop partnerships for a secure maritime future. Your presence in
such large numbers has made this international event spectacular and truly
reflects the spirit of this IFR, we are indeed ‘United through Oceans’. The
waters that lap our coast also wash your shores, these great blue ‘COMMONS’
indeed link us to each other. IFR 2016 has enabled us to join hands and work
together to secure our seas for the greater good of humanity and the world.<br />

The navies of the world have a unique role in promoting
goodwill, nurturing peace and tranquility of the oceans. Your ships and all
personnel participating at this momentous fleet review are ambassadors of great
nations that you represent. The message of friendship and goodwill of your
people strengthens our belief in promoting peace, prosperity and stability for
mutual co-existence and ensuring secure seas. I understand that your

you all are keenly looking forward to take part in passage exercises and will

India’s geographical location, astride the major shipping
routes of the Indian Ocean, gives it a pivotal maritime role. Considering the
globalised nature of today’s political and economic environment, it is our
belief that the present day maritime domain requires navies across the world to
re-focus their efforts to counter the rising tide of non-traditional maritime
challenges in the brown, green and blue waters across all oceans. The Indian
Navy, accordingly, has re-aligned its maritime strategy, to reflect the changes
in the evolving global environment, and has established a credible record of
cooperative initiatives to promote stability of the oceans, and played a
central role in ensuring safety of the vital sea lines of communication, across
the Indian Ocean. <o:p></o:p></div>

My special compliments to the Indian Navy, especially the
Eastern Naval Command, for the meticulous planning and flawless conduct of
today’s splendid Fleet Review. An event of such magnitude could be organised
only by the involvement and support of the people. May I thank and congratulate
the Government of Andhra Pradesh and all citizens of Visakhapatnam for their
cooperation. <o:p></o:p></div>

traditional hospitality shown by the people of India. I would urge that as you
sail back to your homelands, carry with you our message of global peace and
brotherhood, so that we can strengthen our bonds of friendship and secure a
better maritime environment for future generations. <o:p></o:p></div>

President and the
Supreme Commander of the armed forces of India, Pranab Mukherjee, reviewed the
Fleet comprising naval warships from Indian as well as frontline foreign navies on morning of 06 February 2016. This was
the eleventh Fleet Review after Independence and the second with participation

The President was

and Admiral RK Dhowan, Chief of the Naval Staff. On leaving harbour, the President’s Yacht
weaved through the 70 ships at anchorage off Visakhapatnam port. A spectacular
fly-past was conducted as a part of the static review of the Fleet. During the
final stage of the review, a mobile column of warships and submarines carried
out high speed steam past alongside the Presidential yacht.<br />

In addition to 65 Indian Naval warships and three IN
Submarines, the Review also included 24 foreign ships, two ships from the
Indian Coast Guard and three from Mercantile Marine. Several enthralling
waterfront activities by sail boats, water skiing, display by Marine Commandos
and helicopter demonstrations held the public mesmerised.<o:p></o:p></div>

As the presidential yacht passed between the review anchor
columns, each ship dressed in full regalia, saluted the President. Each ship was manned by her ship’s company,
dressed in white ceremonial uniform. In a moment that stood still in time,
white caps were doffed in unison in a grand salutation. The resounding sound of
‘Three Jais’ by the ships’ crew echoed over the waves symbolising the spirit of
camaraderie and bonhomie across the seas.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The most awe inspiring and awaited event of the entire IFR-
the Fleet Review will be conducted on the morning of 06 February 16. Pranab
Mukherjee, President of India, who is also the Supreme Commander of the Armed
Forces will be reviewing the Naval Fleet.
This will be the eleventh Fleet Review after Independence and the second
one being conducted in India. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
After a 21-gun salute and the ceremonial Guard of Honour,
the President embarked on the Presidential Yacht, INS Sumitra would sail through
70 ships at anchorage off Visakhapatnam. The review will have a combination of
ships from Indian Navy as well as frontline Navies from across the globe. The
ships of Indian Coast Guard and Mercantile Marine will also be participating.
In this most formal of naval ceremonials, each ship dressed in full regalia
will salute the President as he passes.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The President will
also be reviewing the Indian Naval Air Arm in a display of spectacular fly-past
by several fixed wing and rotary aircraft comprising of 15 formations. In the
final stage of the review, a mobile column of warships and submarines will
steam past the Presidential Yacht. This display will also showcase the latest
acquisitions of the Indian Navy. Further, several enthralling waterfront
activities, a display by Marine Commandos and helicopter demonstrations will be
conducted to mesmerize the viewers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Fleet review is a ceremonial and stately inspection of
the Naval Warships by the President. The
last IFR held off Mumbai in 2001, was a hugely acclaimed event. This IFR shows
the promise of greater acclaim. The President will review the international
fleet comprising of 75 frontline ships and submarines. Each ship will be manned
by her ship’s company, dressing in white ceremonial uniforms. </div>

Ten Indian Army soldiers went missing after a massive
avalanche hit their post early this morning in Northern Siachen. According to
sources in Indian Army, an ice wall fell on the post at unknown location (classified)
in Northern Siachen today. All efforts are on to search and rescue the trapped soldiers.
While the fate of avalanche hit soldiers is still uncertain, all hope lies on
the avalanche transceiver, which every person in such inhospitable condition is
supposed to wear tightly clinging to his chest. In avalanche situation the
transceiver automatically get activated and transmits beacon signals, which can
help rescue team to find the trapped person. </div>

“Last year there was an avalanche on Mount Everest, my
husband Loveraj was also there but he saved himself by taking shelter of a rock.
A few died in the incident, some lucky one survived”, said Reena Kaushal
Dharmshaktu, first Indian Woman to Ski to South Pole. “It all depends on what
kind of avalanche was it. If it was a slab avalanche, then its depth matters a
lot. But many times, slab avalanche turns out to be superficial also”, adds
Reena, whose husband, Loveraj has tracked Mount Everest five times. </div>

If the troops trapped in avalanche wore transceivers, then it
will be easier for the rescue teams to trace their location. Avalanche transceiver
is an active radio beacon operating at
457 kHz and specialized for the purpose of finding people or equipment buried
under snow. When the wearer is trapped in avalanche or sets out on a skiing
descent, the transceiver is activated, causing the device to emit a low-power
pulsed beacon signal. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Following an avalanche, and if the holder of the transceiver
is safe and has not themselves been caught by the avalanche, they may switch
the transceiver from transmit into receive mode, allowing use as a radio
direction finding device to search for signals coming from other skiers'
transmitter beacons who may be trapped. Any of such signals may significantly
reduce the time for search and rescue operation. </div>

“If someone is caught in the avalanche, transceiver automatically
turns on. And if rescue party reaches, then they easily find the trapped
person. It saves a lot of time. This has to be worn tightly clinging to the chest
so that it doesn’t get detached. It is a common practice in USA. I am not sure
if it is being followed here in India”, elaborated Reena.</div>

Siachen glacier in the Himalaya mountains is world’s highest
and coldest militarized zone. Hundreds of soldiers so far have lost their lives owing
to avalanche, landslides, frostbites and heart failure. Despite such harsh
conditions and danger involved, Indian Army soldiers bravely maintain the sanctity and sovereignty
of Indian land risking their lives. </div>
