NO HOLDS BARREDBy M. A. SADANAND

Nearly 3,000 retail jewelleryshops in the city and suburbsremained closed on March 28to press their demand for arollback of Union budget pro-posals, particularly the levy ofexcise duty.

This is the second time theydowned shutters in March.

Jewellers’ associations in thecity had called for the shut-down after a demonstration inthe city on March 27 againstthe proposals in the Unionbudget to levy 1% excise dutyon non-branded jewels andincrease in customs dutyfrom 2% to 4% on gold orna-ments.

Jewellers alleged that thiswould mean maintaining ac-counts for yet another Gov-ernment agency and threatsof harassment. It would bemore harmful for goldsmithsand small traders, they opi-ned.

The volume of precious metalsold in the city is dipping due toprice hike and the levy of moretaxes apart from the valueadded tax, they added.

Jayantilal Chalani (Presi-dent, Madras Jewellers’ andDiamond Merchants Associa-

Jewel shops protest plan to hike excise dutyJewel shops protest plan to hike excise duty

tion) said that the levy of moretax would increase the cost of8 gms. of 22 carat gold byRs.800-900.

“We now retain 2% of thevalue of gold coin that is ex-changed for cash. This will goup by 8% as we have to add the

tax amount collected from us.The rapport between the jew-eller and customer will suffer,”he said.

I dread even looking at the open-ground cremation atthe Corporation’s final disposal arena strewn all over thecity to enable this beautiful world’s evictees to catch theirfree flight to heaven where all are treated as equals.

Since there are no reports from special correspondentsfrom there, it is presumed that the early entrants likeHitler, Mussolini, Churchill, Truman, Hiro Hito, Gandhi,Godse, Martin Luther King et al always lined either sideof the red carpet when a new entrant appeared to take theallotted final resting place, normally a marble and goldpalace that would make Waldorf Astoria pink with envy.

I had always found life beautiful and thanked myparents for giving me this sojourn on earth. When theirleases expired, they were treated to the same fieryjourney at the Velangadu open ground since the ChennaiCorporation believed in status quo which allowed a tribeof burners to turn highwaymen and skin the bereaved.

Having read a piece by me on the solemnity andcleanliness of the electric crematoria in Bangalore,through one of which I had sent a cousin of mine to heaven,a lawyer friend briefed me to appear in a Writ Petition fora Mandamus to modernize our final journey by adoptingthe Bangalore exit-line.

Justice K. S. Bhaktavatsalam asked me, “WhatSadanand! You are talking about death on a beautifulMonday morning?”

“It is everybody’s funeral and I am worried about life’sevening. We all, except the mighty Chennai Corporation,think of the evening when we are the Vettians’ victims”,I responded.

He admitted the petition and, by the time it came up forfinal disposal, I had become the Government Pleader andrecused myself from the case.

I later discovered that incineration by electricity be-came the privilege of the Chennai citizens too, though thetribe of grumpy Vettians rose. Going to the courts throughthe New Avadi Road was a constant reminder that thebrand new crematorium would be my last station, thoughthe Metro Rail diggers could bar the way.

A recent ‘Deccan Chronicle’ write up said that, since ithas not been working for about 5 years, open groundcremation is back in Velangadu and the Vettians will soonbe raising a temple in a corner to offer obeisance to thepersons in charge of the dead machine.

If Amma whips the fellows into action, I will continuein Madras to which I migrated in 1946 or shift to Banga-lore, dirtied by Yeddy boy, because I want to go by electrictraction to my pink palace in heaven when the invitationarrives by courier mail or through my cell phone.

I love the Madras climate and would love to be aroundfor another 50 years, by which time we can sell nuclearpower to the rest of the world and there is no danger of ahalf-cremated Sadanand at the Velangadu exit-stationthrough power cut. How about it, handsome MayorSaidai ?

The Madras high court onMarch 29 restrained theChennai police from prosecut-ing house owners who fail tosubmit details of their tenantsbefore the deadline of April 30.But the court refused to sus-pend the order asking landlordsto furnish such information inthe prescribed format.

An interim order to this ef-fect was passed by the FirstBench comprising Chief Jus-tice M. Y. Eqbal and Justice T.S. Sivagnanam on two publicinterest petitions, one filed byS. Jim Raj Milton, an advo-cate, and the other by R.Sridhar, a doctor.

The city police issued an or-

Court order on landlords providing info on tenantsCourtorderonlandlordsproviding infoontenantsder on March 3 under Section144 of the Code of CriminalProcedure asking house own-ers who had rented out theirhomes to furnish all informa-tion relating to their tenantsbefore April 30. As per the or-der, demographic informationincluding name, age, father’sname, occupation details andidentity proof were required tobe submitted, along with mo-bile numbers of the house ownerand the tenant.

Those who fail to submit suchinformation, the order said,would be prosecuted underSection 188 of the Indian Pe-nal Code, which provides forimprisonment up to one month

for disobeying orders of publicservants.

In his PIL, Milton said thatthe order was issued in the af-termath of two bank heists inChennai which cast a shadowon the efficiency of police. Thesuspected dacoits were latertracked, but were gunned downin a midnight operation, he said.The controversial decision tocollect the data of tenants,migrant workers and studentsfrom other states started there-after, he said.

Noting that this type of datacollection was not regulatedunder any specific law, Miltonsaid that the police sought toimplement its decision by cir-

cumventing the procedure es-tablished by law. Describing itas an arbitrary and excessiveuse of power, he said seekingsuch details would amount topolice surveillance, and addedthat the order deserved to bequashed.

He also wanted the court todirect the police to destroy allthe records and informationalready collected from the resi-dents.

Adjourning the matter by twoweeks for further hearing, thejudges said: “In the meanwhile,the order shall not be sus-pended. But no criminal actionshould be taken for violation ofthe order.”
