Rajasthan government to introduce self-attestation of documents from January 1

The Raje government will introduce new system of self-attestation and declaration of documents from January 1, 2015 by abolishing the old system of affidavit submission of every official documents for job, property, housing, and in government functioning, an official order passed last night said.
  
Candidates applying for a job or education in any of the departments, boards, commissions, or panchayati raj institutions of the state government would be able to do "self-attestation" and make submission accordingly.

The state government has simplified procedures for verification of documents and statements, the order said. The new system would also enable people to file self-attestation while dealing with house and property matters with the housing board, development authorities, boards, corporations, power companies, cooperative societies, panchayati raj institutions and civic bodies.
  
This would also be applicable while filing papers for making new ration cards, land transfer, power-electricity-water connections, caste certificate, driving license, pension, and other matters related to the state government affairs.
  
This will provide a relief to citizens especially students who had to go Notarian/Magistrate/ Gazzeted Officer for each paper certfication and attestation, the order said.
  
The new system would appear to be easy but any person committing error or fraud would be brought under laws of IPC leading to penalty in cash and jail term as punishment, it said.
  
The state government's order has been served to every department for implementation and website update by January 1 next year. Offenders would be punishable under relevant sections of IPC and would be imprisioned for a period ranging from six months to three years and also cash fine.

SC reserves order on plea against Salman Khan in black buck hunting case

A bench headed by Justice S J Mukhopadhyay also raised questions on High Court's verdict for staying the mega star's conviction without going into the merits of the case and just to pave the way for him to get the visa to travel to the United Kingdom for professional purposes.
  
"It is completely perverse and not based on evidence. Can conviction be suspended merely because you want a visa? If the same principle is applied then any convicted person can apply for services (jobs) after getting his conviction suspended," the bench said.
  
Senior advocate Sidharth Luthra, appearing for Khan, said that the actor will face hardship if his conviction would not have been stayed by the high court as it adversely affects his right to travel abroad.
  
Responding to the submission, the bench referred to its recent verdict on disqualification of the lawmakers in the event of conviction and said, can the conviction of a politician be also stayed merely because he says that he will face hardship and get disqualified as an MP/MLA after conviction.
  
The bench said that the court and the government have allowed Salman to go abroad but if he is not given visa to travel to the UK for his conviction then he should approach the British authority.
