Mangalore, December 25: Amittrajit Ghosh from Kolkata and co-driver Ashwin Naik from Mangalore emerged as overall winners of the Indian National Rally Championship (INRC) 2012, after the Maharashtra leg (Round 3) of the national rally was cancelled by the organisers due to failure to secure necessary permissions.

 

Finishing first in the Chikmagalur Rally (Round 2) in November earlier this year, Amittrajit Ghosh and Ashwin Naik topped the championship table with 51 points. With the Maharashtra Rally being cancelled, the racing duo from the MRF Team was declared champions by default in the Group N, 2000cc category. Lohitt Urs and co-driver Sujith Kumar were declared runners-up with 45 points followed by Karna Kadur and Somonitha Ghosh at 38.

 

The popular INRC run under the aegis of the Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI) was reduced to just two rounds this year - the Karnataka 1000 and the Coffee Day Rally. Earlier, the proposed Coorg Rally was also cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. The Rally of Maharashtra was to be the final round schedule to be held in the first week of January in Nasik, but was cancelled taking into account the feedback from competitors after the event was shifted from Ahmednagar (dirt terrain) to Nasik (tarmac).

 

Mangalorean Ashwin Naik has previously acquired titles such as winner of Desert Storm rally 2012, winner of SJOBA Sub Himalayan rally 2012, and winner of round 3 Thailand 4x4 rally. He is also the co-founder of Indian Motor Sports Club, along with another professional rally co-driver Musa Sherief.

Bengaluru, Feb 17: Days after 10 MLAs were inducted in the Cabinet, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa is likely to expand his Cabinet again as some BJP MLAs are unhappy, said BJP sources.

Several leaders including Umesh Katti, CP Yogeshwar, Raju Gowda and MP Renukacharya are miffed over the recent cabinet expansion, claim sources.

On February 6, ST Somashekar, Ramesh Laxmanrao Jarkiholi, Anand Singh, K Sudhakar, BA (Byrathi) Basavaraj, Arabail Hebbar Shivaram, Hasavanagowda C Patil, K Gopalaiah, Narayana Gowda and Shrimant Balasaheb Patil took oath as ministers.

It should be noted that many MLAs had won the by-polls on a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket in December last year after switching loyalties from the Janata Dal (Secular) (JDS) and Congress.

In the December 5 by-polls held in 15 Assembly constituencies, the BJP had won 12, while Congress managed to bag only two. One seat was won by an Independent candidate while the JDS drew a blank.

Bidar, Mar 4: The Principal District and Sessions Court in Bidar, on Tuesday, granted conditional bail to five functionaries of Shaheen School management — Abdul Qadeer, Allauddin Pasha, Mehtab Sait, Bilal Inamdar and Abdul Khaleq — who moved anticipatory bail in a sedition case slapped against their school recently.

Conditions

Senior advocate B.T. Venkatesh from Bengaluru argued for the petitioners. Managoli Premavati Mallikarjuna granted bail on certain conditions, including execution of personal bond of ₹2 lakh each.

The sedition case was filed against the Shaheen School management for its children staging a play as part of their annual day celebrations on January 21, in which a character had allegedly delivered a dialogue against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

While Nazbunnisa, the mother of the child who had allegedly delivered the dialogue in the play, and Fareeda Begum, the headmistress of the school, were arrested, they were subsequently released on bail last month.
