Roots: Funds allocated to conserve houses of Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor | Art & Culture | thenews.com.pk Finally, some progress has been made towards conserving the houses of Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor in Peshawar after the release of the sanctioned amount for the properties’ acquisition. For decades, one would only hear about the plan. It was the Awami National Party government that first approved the plan to restore the two houses as heritage sites. For several years after that one heard nothing else. Talented people leaving the lands of their forefathers in search of a suitable arena is by no means a recent phenomenon. Thousands of aspiring artists from all over the subcontinent went to Calcutta and Bombay during the 20th Century as these were the earliest centres of film making in the region. Many young men from the Punjab and the then North Western Frontier Province flocked to the city to escape the stifling cultural atmosphere in their native provinces. It was actually Prithviraj Kapoor who left his ancestral home in Peshawar to try his luck in the glitzy world of show business in Bombay (now Mumbai). An amateur actor with a desire to make a profession out of his skill, he found limited openings in his native city. Afraid that his father might not agree, he relied on the blessings of a maternal aunt, borrowed money from her and left on the Frontier Mail for the dream destination. He was lucky that he was able to make it good. Not only that, a whole dynasty of studio owners, actors, directors, screen play writers and show business entrepreneurs found refuge in the great city. His fourth generation heirs are among dominant actors in the industry today. Dilip Kumar’s father had left Peshawar and settled in Bombay, seeking better prospects for his fruit business. He must have done reasonably well to have educated his sons. Dilip Kumar, too, joined the film industry on the sly. His father would have nothing of it. Fearing wrath, he hid the fact from his family till he was a star and his posters/ banners were everywhere on the streets, crossroads and roundabouts. It was actually Bhubhaneshwar Kapoor, the father of Prithviraj Kapoor, who let him on to this secret. Both Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor were keen to visit their place of birth. Dilip Kumar got the opportunity when he was invited to visit Pakistan to raise money for philanthropy. When he went back to Bombay, he drove straight from the airport to the hospital where Raj Kapoor was admitted in a critical condition. Raj Kapoor was unconscious, but Dilip Kumar sat by the bedside holding his hand and told him in Hindko/Pashto about his visit. According to Dilip Kumar, he was certain that Raj Kapoor heard him and seemed to be sharing the experience. Raj Kapoor never recovered from his illness and died a few days later. His sons, Rishi Kapoor and Randhir Kapoor, were able to visit the ancestral house when they visited Pakistan in connection with the making of a film, Hina, in which Zeba Bakhtiar was cast in the leading female role. They visited the ancestral house and expressed the desire to preserve the property. It was actually Prithviraj Kapoor who left his ancestral home in Peshawar to try his luck out in the glitzy world of show business in Bombay (now Mumbai). An amateur actor with the desire to make a profession out of his skill, he found limited openings in his native city and decided to move to Bombay. The relationship between India and Pakistan has had its ups and downs. The conditions these days may be the worst ever. Any project having to do with India and Indians is a candidate for rejection, leave alone something tangible. Suspicions are aroused easily and a lot of people start crying foul. The question to ask now is: what will be done to the two houses that have been acquired by the government of the province? Usually, such sites are converted into house museums with artifacts and belongings of the relevant person displayed. Memorabilia about the person is also collected and displayed as a token of recognition of their contribution and public role. The two houses are in an advanced state of dereliction. Parts of the buildings may have disappeared altogether or been razed to the ground. The first step should be the restoration of the two buildings. Re-building or building a new structure should be avoided at all costs. Whether the memorabilia of the two stars can be collected efficiently and displayed tastefully is another big question. There have been instances of such sites becoming house museums where nothing happened any longer. They soon become dead places and are rarely visited. It is probably worth an effort to make the two places sites where cultural activities continue to take place. This can take the form of musical performances, exhibitions of posters and brochures of the films, catalogues of the persons and their activities, library of films or of books which people can refer to and then lectures, seminars of cultural value with film taking the centre stage. Given the current state of film production and cinema in the country, this might provide the fillip to cinematographical activity. The places could become the nucleus where people are inspired and motivated to take the huge step of not only working in films but also restarting the cinema industry in the country. The places should remind us that people move across areas and regions to express themselves and that this has been the case forever. Artistes have to say something about the human condition and dilemmas that transcends political boundaries. With luck, this could become the site for a resumption of cultural exchanges between the two countries. The government should be lauded for not letting the cloud of suspicion and fear to lead it to revoke the decision or to put it on hold. The family of another film star, Shah Rukh Khan, also belongs to Peshawar and some of the people in the extended family still live there. His father moved to Bombay in search of greener pastures just before partition and carved a life for himself there, marrying and raising a family.

History of Andhra Pradesh High Court
This article is written by Aditi Srivastava of Law School, BHU (Banaras Hindu University). In this article, Aditi discusses the History of Andhra Pradesh High Court.
History of Andhra Pradesh High Court – A brief introduction
The Andhra Pradesh High Court is situated in the city of Nizams, Hyderabad, on the south bank of Musi river. The Andhra Pradesh High court is now known as the High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad for the States of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and is the common High Court for two States.
The Andhra Pradesh High Court was renamed as the High court of Hyderabad in view of the division of the State into Telangana and smaller Andhra Pradesh. From 2 June 2014, after the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 came into force, it has been renamed and serves as a common high court for both the states by the virtue of Article 231 which empowers the Parliament to establish a High Court for two or more states or for two or more states and a union territory.
In the coming years after a separate High Court for Andhra Pradesh is established, High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad shall remain the High Court for Telangana State.
When was the High Court set up?
The High Court of Andhra Pradesh was set up in the year 1956 as the consequence of the State Reorganization Act 1956. In the same year, the Judges strength was increased to 12 (from 6).
History of the High Court building
Situated amidst the city, the High Court building is one of the finest buildings in the city, built in red and white stones in Saracenic style, by Nizam VII Mir Osman Ali Khan the ruler of the princely state of Hyderabad. The plan of the High Court was drawn up by Shankar Lal of Jaipur and the local engineer who executed the design was Mehar Ali Fazil. The construction of the main building by the Nizam’s Government started on 15 April 1915 and was completed on 31 March 1919.
On 20 April 1920 the High Court building was inaugurated by Nizam VII Mir Osman Ali Khan.
It accommodated six Judges besides accommodation for the Office Staff, record rooms and Advocates’ Hall.
Also, an amazing fact is that while the foundation for the building was dug up, the ruins of Qutb Shahi Palaces (Hina Mahal and Nadi Mahal) were also unearthed.
If you take a look of the building you will find that it is based on Islamic architecture consisting chiefly of mosques and tombs and characterized by decorated surfaces, bulbous domes, and horseshoe etc. The view of the High Court building from the Naya Pul at sunset gives a view of the glory of Saracenic architecture at its best.
In the year 1936, on its silver jubilee celebrations, a silver model of the High Court with a silver key was presented to the Nizam by the judiciary.
Also, in August 2009, a major accidental fire broke out in the building and caused severe damage to the library housing rare England law reports, Privy Council journals and a life-size portrait of the Nizam and portraits of judges. The record of the court was reported to be safe.
Creation of additional buildings
After the reorganization of the Andhra State in 1956, the existing accommodation at that time was found inadequate to meet the requirements of the larger High Court and so the additional building was constructed in 1958-59.
By 1970, a large number of cases were flooding and the institution of cases of the High Court has gone up to 35,000 as against 20,000 in 1958. There was also an increase in the Judges strength from 14 to 21.
Again in order to facilitate and to provide additional accommodation for Judges, Staff and Advocates and Law Officers, the third building was proposed and the work of that building was completed in 1976. The Law Officers strength was increased from 8 to 18 by 1980 and the institution of cases had gone up to 55,593 cases.
Again in the year 1979, a plan was drawn for the four-story Annexe building but due to lack of funds that could not be taken up. There are at present 20 Court Halls and 24 Chambers located in the High Court main building and Annexe buildings.
The institution of cases had risen from 20,078 in 1958 to 1982,123 including miscellaneous cases in 1985. So, the pendency has also increased in High court as on 24 July 1987 are 84,855 (i.e., 66,276 main cases + 18,579 miscellaneous cases).
History of the Judiciary in Andhra Pradesh
The State of Andhra Pradesh was formed by the merger of the Andhra area of the Madras Presidency – Governed by the British and the Telangana area of the former Indian State of Hyderabad ruled over by the Nizam of the Hyderabad. So, basically before the reorganisation of the Andhra State in the year 1956, the court system differed in these two different regions i.e. in the Andhra area of the Madras presidency the journey began from the setting up of the Fort St.George in Madras in 1639 by the East India Company to establishment of Supreme court and further developments in Madras Presidency. Andhra, being part of Madras presidency was also governed by the same developments in the judiciary.
If we talk about the judiciary in Telangana region before state reorganization in 1956, it was governed by the Islamic System of administration of Justice introduced by the Mughals and governed from the beginning to end by the same Islamic System of administration.
The Consequence of Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill, 2014
A division bench of Hyderabad High Court in 2014 comprising of Chief Justice Kalyan Jyoti Sengupta and Justice P V Sanjay Kumar declared that the Hyderabad High Court shall continue to be the common court for both the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, till a separate high court for AP State is formed.
It was held that article 231 of the Indian Constitution, says that parliament has the power to establish a High Court for two or more states or two or more states and a union territory, but there is exigency to create a separate high court.
Also, the bench held that section 30(1) of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 specifies that “ on and from, the day of the appointment, the High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad shall a common High Court for Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, till a separate High court for the State of Andhra Pradesh is constituted under article 214 of the Indian constitution read with section 32 of this act.

Important Andhra Pradesh High Court Judgements
The Andhra Pradesh High Court (as known earlier) has played important role in revamping the Indian laws. The Court has given many judges to the Supreme Court as well as many landmark rulings in all the areas of law. The AP High Court has played a dynamic role in the environment field –
Damodar Rao v. Special Officer, Municipal Corporation, Hyderabad, 1987
In this case, the court gave a landmark judgment and held that any construction of a residential house on the land allotted for a recreational park would upset the ecological balance of the area. It directed the Government to remove any such construction on recreational zones.
MP Rambabu v. Divisional Forest Officer,2002
In this case, the Andhra Pradesh High Court had to deal with the problem of salinity of the underground water.  The court said that deep underground soil and water belong to the state in the sense that the doctrine of public trust extends to them. Manifestly, their use is subject to the state regulation even in the absence of a specific law. The underground water can be used only for a purpose for which the superjacent land is held. If it is used for a different purpose and causes pollution of underground water or soil, the state can interfere and prevent contamination.
Ambuja Petrochemicals Ltd. v. A.P.Pollution Control Board,1997
In the case, one of the industries covered by Patancheru belt was served with the notice for violating the Water(Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act. Though the industry replied to the notice, the board found the reply unsatisfactory directed its closure. The court upheld this direction of the State board as the effluent treatment plant of the industry was not in operation and partially treated water was being discharged causing water pollution which in turn brought danger to public life.
By giving such landmark judgments, the AP High Court has contributed tremendously to the protection of the environment.
Internship at Andhra Pradesh High Court
If a person is interested in an internship at the High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad, then this is really a good opportunity to intern at the highest level of the judiciary in the state for the person. Also, various lawyers, senior advocates provide the opportunity to intern under them. From learning to the basics of the court to observing the court proceedings in the various courtrooms of the court, an intern will get a very wide exposure of court system. The court is well designed from inside as well as outside with white and red pattern of architecture, which adds charm to the court environment.
Court Calendar
The calendar provided by the Hyderabad High Court is for the court itself and the offices working under the control of the high court including A.P. Judicial Academy, Secunderabad, A.P.State Legal Services Authority, Telangana State Legal Services Authority, Telangana State Legal Services Authority, Mediation and Authority, Mediation and Arbitration Centre and High Court Legal Services Committee .
The calendar provides holidays on all public holidays, Sundays and second Saturdays. Also, the calendar provides for a summer and a winter break when the courts and other offices remain closed. This year the winter break was for a period of 10 days in the month of January. The summer break was for a period of days from Thursday the 3rd of May 2018 to Friday the 1st of June 2018 (both days inclusive).
See more details about holidays here.
Conclusion
So, till date a separate court is created, the high court of Judicature at Hyderabad shall be a common court for both the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Let us see in future how many landmark judgment and initiatives like ICJS, the introduction of e-court Hyderabad High Court shall bring in the public interest.

Important Andhra Pradesh High Court Judgements
The Andhra Pradesh High Court (as known earlier) has played important role in revamping the Indian laws. The Court has given many judges to the Supreme Court as well as many landmark rulings in all the areas of law. The AP High Court has played a dynamic role in the environment field –
Damodar Rao v. Special Officer, Municipal Corporation, Hyderabad, 1987
In this case, the court gave a landmark judgment and held that any construction of a residential house on the land allotted for a recreational park would upset the ecological balance of the area. It directed the Government to remove any such construction on recreational zones.
MP Rambabu v. Divisional Forest Officer,2002
In this case, the Andhra Pradesh High Court had to deal with the problem of salinity of the underground water.  The court said that deep underground soil and water belong to the state in the sense that the doctrine of public trust extends to them. Manifestly, their use is subject to the state regulation even in the absence of a specific law. The underground water can be used only for a purpose for which the superjacent land is held. If it is used for a different purpose and causes pollution of underground water or soil, the state can interfere and prevent contamination.
Ambuja Petrochemicals Ltd. v. A.P.Pollution Control Board,1997
In the case, one of the industries covered by Patancheru belt was served with the notice for violating the Water(Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act. Though the industry replied to the notice, the board found the reply unsatisfactory directed its closure. The court upheld this direction of the State board as the effluent treatment plant of the industry was not in operation and partially treated water was being discharged causing water pollution which in turn brought danger to public life.
By giving such landmark judgments, the AP High Court has contributed tremendously to the protection of the environment.
Internship at Andhra Pradesh High Court
If a person is interested in an internship at the High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad, then this is really a good opportunity to intern at the highest level of the judiciary in the state for the person. Also, various lawyers, senior advocates provide the opportunity to intern under them. From learning to the basics of the court to observing the court proceedings in the various courtrooms of the court, an intern will get a very wide exposure of court system. The court is well designed from inside as well as outside with white and red pattern of architecture, which adds charm to the court environment.

The calendar provided by the Hyderabad High Court is for the court itself and the offices working under the control of the high court including A.P. Judicial Academy, Secunderabad, A.P.State Legal Services Authority, Telangana State Legal Services Authority, Telangana State Legal Services Authority, Mediation and Authority, Mediation and Arbitration Centre and High Court Legal Services Committee .
The calendar provides holidays on all public holidays, Sundays and second Saturdays. Also, the calendar provides for a summer and a winter break when the courts and other offices remain closed. This year the winter break was for a period of 10 days in the month of January. The summer break was for a period of days from Thursday the 3rd of May 2018 to Friday the 1st of June 2018 (both days inclusive).

Conclusion

Let us see in future how many landmark judgment and initiatives like ICJS, the introduction of e-court Hyderabad High Court shall bring in the public interest.

Bigg Boss 11 Will Hina Khan Win The Trophy? Here are reasons why Hina can win the show. Completing the tasks Hina is person who is really competitive and sporting when it comes too tasks. Okay, sporting not so much but competitive, yes. She also makes sure that she completes all the tasks from her end. That’s the best part about contestants this season. They gave tasks a lot of importance unlike the last season. The massive fan base Hina has a massive fan base and despite all the negative publicity on the show, they still support her. You’d think that she might have lost out on fans by now but her fan base has just grown stronger than before. In fact, even the makers are shocked by how much the actress is leading in terms of votes. Hina’s stylish looks Hina’s wardrobe has been the talk of the season. You’d definitely want all of her looks in your wardrobe. And hire her stylist, too. And here’s why she might not win the show. Hypocrisy Well, if there is one thing that we do not like about the actress, it’s her hypocrisy. Hina says what she has to but when she is questioned about her statements, she doesn’t remember saying them at all. That’s one thing that irritated and disappointed the viewers. We remember how she created a ruckus when Akash Dadlani spoke about Benafsha Soonawalla disrespectfully but then whispered to Luv Tyagi that she actually smells bad. All the controversial statements inside the house Hina stirred A LOT of controversies inside the house and literally more than half of the TV industry has spoke against her on Twitter. In fact, she also disappointed quite a few fans outside the house. She passed a lot of demeaning and condescending comments on the South industry and colleagues from the TV industry. Ungrateful behaviour Well, Hina has been quite ungrateful to everyone who has supported her inside the house or cooked for her, if you know what we’re talking about. She got mad at Priyank Sharma and cut all ties with him just because he asked her to not make fun of Vikas Gupta. Her constant taunts at Shilpa for cooking throughout the season is another example of her ungrateful behaviour. Inconsiderate of someone else’s feeling Though Hina tears up and creates a scene when people in the house make fun of her crying, she does absolutely nothing about respecting someone else’s feelings. When someone else is hurt by her statements, suddenly that person is a cry baby. She may be too straight-forward like Priyank said in his interview but she is definitely inconsiderate of someone else’s feelings. Do you think Hina will win the show or will she lose out to Shilpa?
