SC upheld the death sentence of Ajmal Amir Kasab and rejected his appeal
The Supreme Court today upheld the death sentence awarded to 26/11 gunman Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab and rejected his appeal against his conviction and death sentence in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks in which 166 people were killed.
“We are left with no option but to uphold the death sentence of Kasab,” the Supreme Court bench observed.
Waging war against the country is the primary and foremost offence committed by Kasab, the court observed.
25-year-old Kasab had filed the appeal from jail, challenging his conviction and death sentence. The apex court had appointed senior advocate Raju Ramachandran as amicus curiae to argue on behalf of Kasab.
A bench of justices Aftab Alam and CK Prasad had reserved its verdict on 25 April after a marathon hearing, spanning over two and a half months, of arguments by the prosecution and defence counsel in the terror mayhem, which involved random firing by Kasab and other mercenaries.

Deepika in Bhanshali's Ramleela, Ranveer is her Ram
Deepika Padukone's name has been finalized for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's dream project Ram Leela.After Kareena,Priyanka,Deepika has been chosen as the lead female face opposite Ranveer Singh who is dating Deepika these days.
As a filmmaker, Sanjay has to his credit some of Bollywood's most talked about contemporary films. Also, when it comes to depicting women, few do it with the flair and expertise that Sanjay does.
Be it Khamoshi, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas, Black, Saawariya or Guzaarish, his cinema has left an indelible mark. As a producer, SLB has also tasted super-duper success with Rowdy Rathore (2012).
But what has really got the trade buzzing is his directorial venture Ram Leela that has been surrounded by controversy from day one — courtesy, the game of musical chairs that the heroines have played. Initial reports said that Kareena Kapoor was to play Leela. She walked out to make place for Priyanka Chopra, and before you could PC, Deepika Padukone was auditioning for the part.
SLB wishes to refrain from commenting on the subject of his Leela. A source close to the maker, however, says that despite having to go through the grind, Sanjay is happy that he finally found his Leela in Deepika. We hear the maker, who is in a very jubilant mood, holds no grudges against Kareena despite the fact that she made an inglorious exit from the film.
In fact, Sanjay, who has shared a very close relationship with Bebo, is only sad that after six months of imagining her to be his Leela, he had to let go because of a lame reason. Our source says, "Sanjay feels Deepika is indeed most suited to play Leela and he fails to understand why he never looked at Deepika in that perspective. She and Ranveer Singh (there was no confusion at all about him playing Ram) bring in so much chemistry to their parts. And when you see these two youngsters, you can see the spark."
According to our source, SLB loves Deepika's earthiness and her fragile lady-like beauty, and he finds it fascinating that she will now play his Leela. Our source adds, "While these casting battles were happening, it was torturous for someone as sensitive as Sanjay. But as they say, all is well that ends well."

Topless pop star Aisha Sagar irks Indians in Australia
Topless pictures of an Indian-origin singer, who is Gold Coast city's pick to promote tourism in India, has left a section of the Indian community uneasy with some speaking against such moves to sell tourism to a largely conservative India.
Aisha Sagar is the woman picked up by Australia as Gold Coast Goodwill Ambassador. But what could be the reason behind the opposition? Well, Indians in Australia don't want someone who painted Australian flag on here bare chest and posed for the camera to be an ambassador to India.
Indians there opined that more than 60 per cent of Indian nationals are still conservation even after cosmopolitan invasion. So, picking up someone who was posing topless would be leaving a bad impression on Gold Coast. Meanwhile, Sagar said the whole idea of she posing topless was not aimed at posting it on internet but towards promoting the image of Australia. She even hoped that it would give her an image of an artiste down the line.

IT department is to cancel Ramdev's charitable status
The Income-Tax department is set to cancel the registration of yoga guru Baba Ramdev’s trust as a charitable organisation and withdraw all exemptions provided to it.
A final order has been passed on August 24 by the Income-Tax (exemption) unit in the case of Ramdev’s Patanjali Yogpeeth Trust, for the year 2009-10, after a scrutiny revealed that it was involved in several commercial and trading activities
While the trust has so far enjoyed exemption under Section 12 (a) of the Income-Tax Act having declared its income as “nil”, sources said a scrutiny of its accounts and activities pegged its taxable income at Rs 72.37 crore.
The I-T exemption unit sought clarifications in the form of around 100 questions from trust officials before issuing the order, and the department is now in the process of despatching final penalty notices and cancellation of registration orders.
The summary of the I-T Department’s order is that while enjoying exemption, the Patanjali Trust showed revenue expenditure of Rs 8.71 crore against its gross income of Rs 74.74 crore.
This works out to an expenditure of 12 per cent and a surplus of Rs 66.03 crore.
Exemption is provided to a trust provided 85 per cent of its income is spent on charitable purposes.
Major findings of the probe that found violations of the Income Tax Act and thereby withdrew exemptions are: *The Patanjali trust declared Rs 88.73 lakh as part of its corpus under the Vanprastha Ashram scheme and sold cottages for between Rs 5.5 lakh and Rs 21 lakh each.
*It received tracts of land as “donation” in Gurgaon. The precise location and value of the land are still being investigated.
*The trust received Rs 38.35 crore as “donation” from its affiliate organisation in Hardwar, the Divya Yog Mandir Trust. This has now been disallowed.
*A sum of Rs 14.75 crore was received as “membership fees” in the year that was under scrutiny for various schemes. One could pay Rs 21,000 for a “respected membership” to Rs 11 lakh each for a “corporate membership”.
*A sum of Rs 15.41 crore was received by the trust for holding yoga camps where those attending purchased coupons of different classes —- a ‘VIP’ coupon for Rs 2,100 and a diamond coupon for Rs 1,100.
*The trust was found to have received Rs 13.69 crore as “anonymous donation” while admitting only to such donations totalling Rs 1.07 crore.
*Serious discrepancies detected in the manner in which the Patanjali trust launched its disaster relief funds.

Emotional farewell for fallen New Zealand soldiers killed in Afghanistan
Friends, family and dignitaries have given three New Zealand soldiers killed in Afghanistan an emotional farewell.
Corporal Luke Tamatea, Lance Corporal Jacinda Baker and Private Richard Harris were farewelled by hundreds at a memorial service at Burnham Military Camp in Christchurch on Saturday, six days after they were killed by a roadside bomb in Bamyan Province.
The soldiers were part of the 140-strong New Zealand Provincial Reconstruction team in Bamyan, a team which lost two other soldiers a few weeks ago.
Family members spoke of their pride in all the soldiers, with Cpl Tamatea's brother Hayden saying he joined the Navy because he would have had a huge shadow to follow in the army.
Governor-General Sir Jerry Mateparae, a former Defence Force chief, said the soldiers were "fine examples of ordinary New Zealanders who answered the call of service".
Sir Jerry said the soldiers made a positive difference to the people of Bamyan, having rebuilt hospitals and roads, helped deliver education and health programs and improved local governance and security.
He told the families of the slain soldiers there was nothing he could say to erase the grief they were feeling.
"What I can say is that those you lost served with great honour. They demonstrated at the highest level, courage, comradeship, commitment and integrity, which are the values the New Zealand Defence Force holds as central to underpinning its ethos."
Prime Minister John Key spoke of his pride in the team, describing the fallen soldiers as "three courageous, committed people that made a difference in the world".
Major Craig Wilson, the team's commanding officer, said it had been an honour to serve with them.
The bodies of the soldiers have been returned to their families for private services.

Katherine receives death threats after rumours of affair with David Beckham
Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins has turned to police after receiving death threats via Twitter
following rumours suggesting she had an affair with soccer superstar David Beckham.
The 32-year-old, who took to the micro blogging site on Friday to deny she had ever been romantically involved with the sportsman, was subject to abuse from fellow users who threatened to kill her, reported Sun Online.
"Due to the serious nature of the threats, the tweets have been reported to the police," a spokesperson for the star said. In her Twitter posts, Jenkins attempted to put a stop on speculations suggesting she had an affair with Beckham.
"Dear Twitter friends, Ive read some horrible rumours on here & want u 2 (you to) know I absolutely deny Ive had an affair with David Beckham. The rumours are very hurtful, untrue & my lawyers tell me actionable.
"Ive only met David twice: once at the Military Awards in 2010 & on a night out in the West End in Feb 2012. We were out in a group of friends & it was just a normal fun evening out. Just so we are clear Ive never been on my own with him and never arranged to meet up," she had said.
TOKYO: Typhoon Tembin, which drenched southern Taiwan last week before going out to sea, appeared to be looping back Monday for another run at the island and the nearby Philippines, forecasters said.
The revisit comes after another storm about 1,200 miles (750 miles) to the northeast, Typhoon Bolaven, lashed the Japanese island of Okinawa. It injured five people and left 66,500 households without power as of Monday afternoon, but did less damage than feared before moving north into the East China Sea.
Bolaven could affect coastal areas of South Korea by Tuesday, weather officials said.
Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau predicted that Tembin would make landfall early Tuesday in the same part of southern Taiwan where it dumped more than 500 millimeters (20 inches) of rain three days ago.
In Vikram Bhatt’s Raaz 3, Bipasha Basu plays a frustrated, jealous actress. The role is, apparently, inspired from none other than his ex-lover Amisha Patel.
Says Vikram, `Well, all I can say is, all art is finally cannibalised from one’s personal experiences. When I was with Amisha, both of us were going through a career low. I’ve seen how failure affects people.
Vikram’s mentor Mahesh Bhatt, who is the producer of Raaz 3, admits to the similarity. `Vikram shared details of his tumultuous relationship with this Amisha.
Insecurities are an integral part of an actress’ life, as her shelf life is limited. We built on that idea to create Bipasha’s character in Raaz 3. ` When asked whether the actress in Vikram’s life is Amisha, he replied in the affirmative.
`We took the basic idea of the insecurities that creep up on an actress after a few years in the business, and then we built on her desperation. The film shows the character urging her director (Emraan Hashmi) into wrongdoings. In her desperation to cling to her stardom she begins to workship a satan and practices black magic on her younger rival. `
Mahesh Bhatt says Bipasha in her own career has reached a do-or-die stage. `Younger girls have come into the industry and she has suffered a broken heart recently. Given the circumstances, she will either sink like a rock or fly like a bird. `
When we asked Amisha about her life being used to develop a character, she says, `Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I do not want to comment. I’ve too much on my plate with my own productions and the films that I’ve signed outside my production house. I would rather focus on them. `
