Delhi govt may consider cutting taxes on petrol


Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit tonight indicated that Delhi government may consider cutting taxes on petrol to provide some relief from the hike in fuel price.
"We will see what we can do," Dikshit told reporters when asked whether her government will reduce VAT on petrol.
Dikshit, however, justified the steep hike saying oil companies were incurring huge losses and the hike was necessary.
She is on a private visit to Jammu.
In a bid to give some relief from the steep petrol price increase, Kerala and Uttarakhand governments earlier today waived tax on the additional amount to bring down the fuel price by up to 25% of the hike.

Facebook causing a third of all divorces: UK survey

London: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg changed his status to 'married' recently, but his social-networking website is causing a third of all divorces, a new UK survey has claimed.

According to the survey, feuding couples are increasingly complaining about their spouse's behaviour on Facebook in divorce filings, with inappropriate messages to the opposite sex being the biggest cause for complaint.

More than 33 per cent of divorces last year listed Facebook as a contributing factor, a study of 5000 divorce petitions by UK law firm Divorce-Online found.

The figure has shot up from just 20 per cent in 2009.

"If someone wants to have an affair or flirt with the opposite sex then Facebook is the easiest place to do it," Divorce-Online spokesman Mark Keenan was quoted by the 'Daily Mail' as saying.

Incriminating status updates, suspicious check-ins at restaurants and inappropriate photographs being posted online were all increasingly being used as evidence in divorces.

"People need to be careful what they write on their walls as the courts are seeing these posts being used in financial disputes and children cases as evidence," Keenan said.

According to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, 80 per cent of US divorce attorneys said the number of cases using the social network had increased.

K Jason Krafsky, co-author of 'Facebook and Your Marriage', said office romances and out-of-town affairs that took months or even years to develop in the real world happened "with a lightning speed" on Facebook.

"On Facebook they happen in just a few clicks," he said. Krafsky said the social networking website differed from traditional dating websites in that it both re-connected old flames and allowed people to 'friend' someone they may have only met once or twice.

"It puts temptation in the path of people who would never in a million years risk having an affair," he said.

Even when affairs develop offline, Facebook provides a forum for couples to inadvertently arouse the suspicions of their partners.

The UK study also found couples who had already split up were using Facebook to vent about each other, posting nasty comments for all their friends to see.

Twitter only appeared in 20 of the petitions as part of behaviour allegations. Couples complained their spouses were using twitter to make insensitive comments about them.

Aarushi case: Nupur and Rajesh Talwar to be tried for murder

Ghaziabad: Nupur and Rajesh Talwar will be tried for murder and destruction of evidence in a court in Ghaziabad, near Delhi.  Mr Talwar will also be tried for misleading the court, the judge ruled today.

The dentist-couple have been accused of murdering their 13-year-old daughter Aarushi and their domestic help Hemraj in May 2008 at their home.

Aarushi was found dead in her bedroom; Hemraj was discovered on the terrace 24 hours later.

The Talwars have appealed to the Supreme Court to cancel their trial -that petition has yet to be decided. Mrs Talwar was arrested on April 30.  Her request for bail is pending in the Allahabad High Court.

The CBI has said in court that the Talwars found their daughter in a compromising position with Hemraj and killed them using a golf club and another sharp instrument. The agency believes that a golf club found in the house could have caused the injuries found on both victims. However, the Talwars lawyers produced a golf club in court on Wednesday to counter that theory. The Talwars say that Hemraj allowed a group of friends into their home. They were drinking and then tried to molest Aarushi.  When she resisted, they say, the assaulters killed her.  They then killed Hemraj.

The CBI has said in court that it has circumstantial evidence against the Talwars.  In December 2010, the agency asked a CBI court for permission to close the case- it said it had no evidence to accuse anyone of murder, but said at the same time that it believed Mr Talwar was responsible for the double murder in his home. The judge in that court said the case would not be closed and ordered the Talwars to stand trial.  Since then, Aarushi's parents have challenged that verdict in different courts.

Mr Talwar was arrested a week after Aarushi's death by the Noida Police. He was released after nearly two months in jail when the CBI, who took over the case, said that there was no evidence against him.

पेट्रोल की बढ़ी हुई कीमतें कम होंगी : सूत्

नई दिल्ली: पेट्रोल की बढ़ी कीमतों शुक्रवार को होने वाली मंत्री समूह की बैठक में कम किया जा सकता है। सूत्रों के मुताबिक पेट्रोल की कीमत 2.50 रुपये तक कम हो सकती हैं।

इससे पहले पेट्रोल की कीमतों में 7. 50 रुपये की बढ़ोतरी के फैसले के विरोध में देशभर में प्रदर्शन हो रहे हैं। इसी विरोध को देखते हुए कांग्रेस ने अब अपने मुख्यमंत्रियों को पेट्रोल पर राज्य में लगने वाले टैक्स को कम करने की सलाह दी है।

इससे पहले उत्तराखंड की कांग्रेस सरकार ने आज ही अपने राज्य में पेट्रोल पर लगने वाले वैट में 25 फीसदी की कटौती का ऐलान किया है जिससे राज्य में पेट्रोल 1 रुपया 78 पैसा सस्ता हो चुका है। गोवा की बीजेपी सरकार ने भी सत्ता में आते ही राज्य में पेट्रोल पर लगने वाले टैक्स में भारी कटौती कर दी थी।
