‘Vishwa Bantara Sammilana-2018’ inaugurates
Udupi, September 9: Former Lokayukta Justice Santosh Hegde said that the organizations should work for the welfare of the poor in the community.
Inaugurating a one-day World Bunts Get-together-2018, organized by the Federation of World Bunts Associations and District Bunts Associations at the Ammanni Ramanna Shetty auditorium here on Sunday, Justice Hegde said that unity was important in the society. The organization should work for the welfare of the poor in the community. He was ready to join hands together. “I feel proud to say that I am also a Bunt. All three Supreme Court judges from the district were bunts. The commitment and consistency of the bunts in reaching their objectives have placed them in great heights in different fields”, he said.
Because of the Land Reforms Act, the community has suffered a lot. But overcoming all such hurdles, the community has gained a name in the society because of its hard work and determination. Because of a great vision and hard work, Mulki Sunder Ram Shetty and others have built the Vijaya Bank. But the community has a number of poor people and they should be helped. He was ready to join hands for the purpose, he said.
Justice Santosh Hegde also released a souvenir ‘Banta Sourabha’, published as part of the get-together. Later, he was felicitated on the occasion.

Bihar govt to constitute 100 fast-track courts to expedite disposal of criminal cases: Home min
Patna (PTI): Bihar Home Minister Samrat Choudhary on Sunday announced that the state government will establish 100 fast-track courts (FTCs) to ensure the swift disposal of pending cases.
He said that the move also aims to ease the burden on regular courts for them to accord due attention to sensitive cases.
Choudhary said the decision in this regard has been made considering that over 18 lakh cases are pending before different courts in the state.
The constitution of FTCs will "bring in a big relief" to the judicial system and litigants, he said.
"To operationalise 100 FTCs across 38 districts and sub-divisions, the government will undertake large-scale recruitment," the home minister asserted in a statement.
He said that a total of 900 posts, including those of bench clerks, office clerks, stenographers, deposition writers, data entry operators, drivers, process servers and peons, will be filled.
Choudhary also announced that 79 courts will be designated as 'act courts' to fast-track cases related to the Arms Act. Swift resolution of such serious cases, he said, will strengthen law and order in the state.
The minister said that Patna alone will get eight fast-track courts, while four courts each will be set up in Gaya, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga and Bhagalpur. Three FTCs each are planned for Nalanda (Bihar Sharif), Rohtas (Sasaram), Saran (Chhapra), Begusarai, Vaishali (Hajipur), East Champaran (Motihari), Samastipur and Madhubani.
Similarly, two courts each will be established in West Champaran (Bettiah), Saharsa, Purnea, Munger, Nawada, Jehanabad, Arwal, Aurangabad, Kaimur (Bhabhua), Buxar, Bhojpur (Arrah), Sitamarhi, Sheohar, Siwan, Gopalganj, Supaul, Madhepura, Araria, Kishanganj, Katihar, Banka, Jamui, Sheikhpura, Lakhisarai and Khagaria. One FTC each is also proposed for the sub-divisional courts of Naugachia and Bagaha.
