Ranbir, a native of Meerut had gone to Dehradun in search of a job when the police personnel of Dalanwala police station had allegedly pumped 29 bullets into him from close range on July 2, 2009, after branding him as a robber.
The case was transferred from Dehradun to Delhi by the Supreme Court last month following a request by Ranbir's parents.
The apex court had earlier quashed the Uttarakhand high court order and had cancelled the bail of the seven police officials -- Inspector Santosh Kumar Jaiswal, constable Ajit Singh and sub-inspectors Nitin Chauhan, Gopal Dutt Bhatt, Rajesh Bisht, Chander Mohan Singh Rawat and Niraj Yadav.
The Central Bureau of Investigation court in New Delhi had then issued fresh NBWs against the accused police officials after CBI prosecutor Brajesh Shukla said that a Dehradun court had already issued warrants against them after the apex court had cancelled their bail last month.
The court had issued notices against 11 other accused namely Satbir Singh, Sunil Saini, Chander Pal, Saurabh Nautiyal, Nagender Rathi, Vikas Chandra Baluni, Sanjay Rawat, Mohan Singh Rana, Inder Bhan Singh, Jaspal Singh Gosain and Manoj Kumar.
The seven police personnel were earlier arrested in this case.
As the accused were local police personnel, the case was entrusted to CBI. The charge sheet in the case was filed in the court of Special Judicial Magistrate (CBI), Dehradun on December 22, 2009 against the 18 accused.

James Reid, 31, of Towerhill, Peterhead, was not present when the case called at Aberdeen Sheriff Court but pled not guilty through defence agent Chris Maitland.
He is accused of driving dangerously at 109mph on the A90 Ellon to Peterhead road on August 17 2017, “grossly in excess” of the 60mph limit.
Reid’s case will call again early next month.
Eh, mon ami, just wait till you taste this feast! There'll be creamy crawfish Monica, sizzling red beans and rice, jumping hot jambalaya, traditional Southern fried chicken and spicy Cajun chicken wings, alligator sausage, pralines and cafe au lait -- in fact, all the things that make the traditional foods of New Orleans so popular, and it's all right here at home.
On Saturday, Festival New Orleans rolls into Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia with music, crafts and food. There'll be three stages of continuous sounds, crafts people selling beads and jewelry, voodoo dolls and other Louisiana crafts, plus half a dozen food vendors, all creating the sights and smells and sounds of New Orleans.
While the list of performers includes such favorites as Beausoliel, Buckwheat Zydeco, Evangeline and the Zion Harmonizers, performers must share the spotlight with the dishes served up by authentic New Orleans vendors.
"As soon as the gates open, people just rush to the food vendors," said Rene Vaucresson, of Vaucresson Sausage Co. in New Orleans. "I really believe people are coming here for the food as well as the music." Mr. Vaucresson will be offering alligator sausage on a stick, and Cafe du Monde cafe au lait, and beignets, traditional New Orleans-style doughnuts dusted with powdered sugar.
The event is somewhat unusual for Merriweather Post Pavilion, in combining food, crafts and music. "What we try to present is something for everyone," says Jean Parker, general manager of the pavilion. "This event is very family-oriented. It's music of all different styles and very elaborate food areas -- people can get a flavor of what an actual New Orleans jazz festival is like, right here in Columbia, Md."
"This is authentic New Orleans food -- that's what makes this event unique," says Pete Hilzum, of Kajun Kettle Foods of New Orleans. His specialty, called crawfish Monica, a blend of crawfish tails in a creamy, spicy sauce served over pasta, was developed to serve at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, where visitors gobble up as many as 43,000 plates full during the course of the event. Chef Mark Arnone will be preparing crawfish Monica in Columbia, along with chicken and sausage jambalaya.
and heritage fest in New Orleans, a 14-day event held the last week in April that draws 300,000 people for jazz, food and fun.
Festival New Orleans, in its debut season, is a way to "take this show on the road," Mr. Hilzum says, as a living, traveling sample of the popular, long-running jazz fest.
If the popularity of Cajun-style restaurants and Cajun foods is any indication, Festival New Orleans is reaching a receptive audience.
Mr. Vaucresson says almost everywhere he's been on the tour -- stops have included Richmond, Syracuse and Dallas -- there are Cajun restaurants.
Among recent cookbooks bringing Louisiana cooking home are "Lee Bailey's New Orleans," (Clarkson N. Potter, 1993, $30) and Emeril's New New Orleans Cooking," by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tisch (William Morrow, 1993, $23).
In the Baltimore area, most folks get their Cajun experience at Sisson's restaurant, 36 E. Cross St. in Federal Hill, where Cajun-Creole food has been on the menu since 1985. "I'm surprised really, at the amount of blackened redfish we still sell out of here," said Bill Aydlett, executive chef. That dish was first popularized by Mr. Prudhomme, who made "blackened" a household word in the '80s. But other Cajun-style dishes from chicken etouffee (smothered) to jambalaya remain perennial favorites among Sisson's diners, Mr. Aydlett says.
"I think people wish they could cook like that" at home, he says, adding garlic and spices with a free hand. But, if they're tentative with the spice jar at home, he says, when they eat out, "people really go after those spices."
Mr. Lagasse, who grew up in Fall River, Mass., a town of strong Portuguese and French-Canadian influence, writes of "the mystique" of New Orleans food, and explains the difference between Cajun ("robust food of the Acadian farmers and fishermen") and Creole (a more refined, cosmopolitan cuisine" brought to New Orleans by early European immigrants).
In his own cooking, Mr. Lagasse draws on the traditions and ingredients of both styles and updates them with such other influences as Oriental, Portuguese or New Mexican.
Tradition will prevail at Festival New Orleans. Ernest Jones, a New Orleans caterer, will be serving red beans and rice, Southern fried chicken and spicy Cajun chicken wings. "People really want to know, is this New Orleans food? They want to know, is it a gimmick? And then they come back and they say, 'This is it.' "
Other vendors, and their specialties, are: John Ed Laborde, crawfish etouffee and crawfish bread; Danny Toups, crawfish pie and catfish "po' boy" sandwiches; and Sheila Estevez, ice tea and pink lemonade.
With more than a dozen cities on the tour, and stops at as many as three cities a weekend, participants can find the event grueling, says Sally Cobb, food and crafts director of the festival. "It's a crash course in how to vend on the road," she says, recalling it took a couple of stops before tour members realized they needed single, huge "road boxes" for their equipment, instead of dozens of small boxes that caused problems for people loading and unloading. Still, she says, the vendors are "honored" to be in on the creation of something that seems likely to become a major annual event, putting a little spice into the lives of people living north of crawfish country.
"Northern food is OK, but it's a little bland," Mr. Vaucresson says. But once people sample the festival's Cajun delights, they become fans, he says. "People just love the food."
There are still plenty of tickets left to Festival New Orleans, which takes place from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday at Merriweather Post Pavilion, on Little Patuxent Parkway just south of Columbia Mall. Admission is $20 for either pavilion or lawn seating, with children 12 and under free.
If you can't get to the festival, or do go and then long to create some Cajun flavors at home, here are some recipes you can try. The first is from "The Tabasco Cookbook," by Paul McIlhenny with Barbara Hunter (Clarkson N. Potter, 1993, $14), for a traditional dish "favored by Cajuns and Creoles alike." The authors say the name comes from the French word for ham, jambon, and the word for rice in an African dialect, alaya.
Sprinkle the chicken cubes with the salt and red and black peppers. Add the oil to a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, and cook the chicken, stirring, until browned on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the chicken to a bowl. Add the ham to the pot and saute for about 5 minutes, or until lightly browned, then add it to the chicken. Put the onions, green pepper, celery and garlic in the pot and saute for about 5 dTC minutes, scraping the bottom to incorporate all the browned bits. Add the chicken and ham, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken broth and reserved tomato juice to the pot, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes.
Mash the cooked garlic against the side of the pan and stir back into the mixture. Add the tomatoes, parsley, green onions, shrimp and Tabasco and adjust the seasoning to taste. Add the rice. Cover the pot, bring to a boil, lower the heat and, stirring occasionally, simmer, covered, for 25 to 30 minutes, until the rice is tender and fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.
The next recipe, for a traditional Cajun dish pronounced "mock SHOO," is from Emeril Lagasse's "Emeril's New New Orleans Cooking." If you can't find "tasso," or Cajun spiced ham, use any spiced cooked ham.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the ham and saute for 30 seconds. Add the corn and cook, shaking and flipping the skillet several times, for about 1 minute.
Add the onions and saute for 30 seconds. Add the garlic, salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the cream, red peppers and green onions and simmer until heated through, for about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Amajita must put a poor recent record behind them in the African Under-20 Championship semifinals when they take on powerful Senegal in their last four clash in Niamey on Wednesday night.
Coach Thabo Senong’s side advanced to the knockout stages with a win and two draws in Pool A‚ and in doing so booked a berth at the 2019 Fifa Under-20 World Cup in Poland in May.
But their toughest assignment is against the Senegalese‚ who won all three of their pool matches‚ scoring nine goals in the process.
And having exited at this stage in their last two attempts‚ history is not on Amajita’s side.
They lost 4-3 to Ghana in a thriller in the 2009 semifinals‚ though they came up against future Black Stars such as André Ayew‚ Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu‚ Samuel Inkoom and Jonathan Mensah. They reached the semifinals again in 2017 but were beaten by hosts Zambia‚ undone by a single goal from Edward Chilufya.
Amajita midfielder Luke le Roux knows the job at hand on Wednesday‚ but feels they stand a good chance.
“It is not going to be an easy game for either side‚” the 18-year-old SuperSport United star said. “However‚ we have studied our opponents and we know what to expect from them.
Most of Senegal’s squad are home-based players‚ though they do have promising Fortuna Sittard Amadou Ciss‚ and Youssouph Mamadou Badji‚ the tournament’s top goalscorer with with three strikes.
SA have tasted semifinal success before when they beat Ghana 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in 1997. That side included Benni McCarthy‚ Matthew Booth‚ David Kannemeyer and Stanton Fredericks.
It is an objective truth that the best part of the Kentucky Derby is its embrace of hat culture. Each year, bright hats adorned with ribbons, feathers, and flowers top the heads of thousands of derby attendees.
Outside the fairgrounds, however, a large fancy hat might be of little use to you.
So, rather than spending $100+ on a custom hat for yourself, take 10 minutes to make one for your dog and call it a day. Delightful!
You'll need a baby hat (preferably one that already features a giant flower), ribbon, feathers, and whatever else you have in the back of your craft drawer. You'll also need a glue gun.
We used the office robot dog.
Truly whatever you have on hand. We used fake crystals that we ripped off a child's tiara. Recycling!
You Derby hat is nothing without ribbon.
Your hat is NOTHING without feathers.
The more, the better. We used faux leaves.
Apple announced revamped versions of its line of MacBook Pro notebooks, dropping prices, improving power efficiency and touting their green features.
Apple unveiled three upgraded versions of its popular line of Macbook notebooks at the highly anticipated Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, including new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pros running on the fastest processor a Mac has been shipped with yet.
The aluminum unibody MacBook Pro line includes 13-inch, 15-inch and 17-inch models starting at $1,199 (and topping out at $4,500 for a loaded 17-inch) and all include an improved built-in battery Apple claims lasts 40 percent longer. The battery lasts for up to seven hours on a single charge without adding thickness or weight. All members of the MacBook Pro line include an LED-backlit display, a glass multitouch trackpad, an illuminated keyboard, an SD card or ExpressCard slot, a FireWire 800 port and Nvidia graphics. Eco-conscious consumers get attention with EPEAT Gold status and Energy Star 5.0 compliance.
The 13-inch Macbook Pro is available in two versions, one with a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive ($1,199), and another with a 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo chip, 4GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive ($1,499). The 15-inch version, which starts at $1,699, comes in three versions, with the top 500GB hard drive version listing for $2,229.
Apple has cut the base price for the 17-inch MacBook Pro by $300 to $2,499 while upgrading the machine with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a 500GB hard drive and an eight-hour battery. For the first time all MacBook Pros can be upgraded with up to 8GB of RAM, and up to a 500GB hard drive or up to a 256GB solid state drive. The 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models can also be upgraded to a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
"Across the line, all of our new MacBook Pro models now include Apple's innovative built-in battery for up to seven hours of battery life, while staying just as thin and light as before," says Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing Philip Schiller. "Starting at just $1,199, the aluminum unibody MacBook Pro is more affordable than ever and sets a new standard for environmentally friendly notebook design."
On the green side, each unibody enclosure is made of recyclable aluminum and comes standard with energy efficient, mercury-and-arsenic-free LED-backlit displays. Apple says all MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models contain no brominated flame retardants and use internal cables and components that are PVC-free. The built-in battery design results in less waste and depleted batteries can be replaced for $129 or $179, which includes installation and disposal of the user's old battery in an "environmentally responsible manner."
Apple also updated the thin, lightweight MacBook Air, dropping the cost and adding power. The notebook measures 0.16 to 0.76-inches thin and weighs three pounds. The Air is available in two models starting with the entry price of $1,499 for a 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo system and a model powered by a 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo system for $1,799.

"The Morning Briefing" is SmartPlanet's daily roundup of must-reads from the web. This morning we're reading about ways to make money in the mobile industry.
1.) Making money from mobile audiences. Mobile audiences might be growing but attempts to make money from them have largely failed. So where do we go from here?
2.) European mobile stocks fall after costly spectrum auction. Shares of four big European cellphone operators fell Monday after they paid more than twice what investors had been expecting in a spectrum auction in the Netherlands, raising concern that a damaging bidding war could sap the industry.
3.) U.S. mobile-ad sales expected to nearly triple this year. Advertisers are warming up to mobile advertising faster than expected, according to a new report released on Monday by eMarketer.
4.) Mobile technology: Are associations behind the curve? Despite widespread adoption of mobile devices, associations aren't yet focusing on mobile strategy, say tech execs at the ASAE Technology Conference & Expo.
Gonder said he expected a hard-fought game dominated by pitching.
That was clear as both teams played for one run at a time.
Central Mountain used that approach to take a 1-0 lead in the top of the third inning. Mariah Major led off with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Avery Shaffer. Moriah Lindsey then singled up the middle, past diving Philipsburg-Osceola second baseman Maggie Peck, to score Major.
The Lady Mounties answered with a near-identical sequence to even the score in the bottom of the third.
Henry started the inning with an infield single, and Haley Frank followed with a sacrifice bunt. With Henry on second, Haylee Hayward grounded out to the pitcher before McKenzie Burge knocked an RBI single up the middle.
After three innings, both teams had managed just three hits in a defensive battle.
The Wildcats quickly regained the lead in the fourth inning on pitcher Rachael Shady’s sacrifice fly to center field. But the Lady Mounties limited the damage, gunning down Karli Coleman at third base to end the inning.
Philipsburg-Osceola still trailed Central Mountain 2-1 going into the bottom of the fifth.
Henry led off with a walk. Frank then attempted another sacrifice bunt, but lifted the ball in the air, over the charging Shady’s head for an infield single. The stroke of luck drew a smile from Frank on first base and a shake of the head from Gonder on the third base line.
With first and second and no outs, Hayward laid down a sacrifice bunt to advance the runners to second and third. Burge then drew a walk to load the bases for cleanup hitter Abby Showers.
Showers hit a ground ball to Central Mountain third baseman Bree Hilty, who got the force out at home to preserve the Wildcats’ lead. That brought Bainey to the plate with two outs and the bases loaded.
Bainey tried to relax and ripped a line drive to the right-center field fence for a double. Three runs scored. Philipsburg-Osceola led 4-2.
Gonder saw Bainey take a step toward becoming a complete hitter Wednesday. In addition to her game-winning double, she also hit a hard ground ball to second base in the fourth inning. Henry saw the Lady Mounties finally seize control against the Wildcats.
Henry retired Central Mountain in order in the sixth, and the Lady Mounties clinched the win with a double play by Showers in the seventh.
Philipsburg-Osceola remains undefeated, a strong start for the team’s postseason goals.
Bost told the gathering that NGA Director Robert Cardillo has ignored concerns about safety and security at the proposed North St. Louis site brought up by him and other metro-east leaders.
“They did not listen to us, and that’s why we are here today,” Bost said.
Kern noted that the process for choosing a new NGA site to replace the current one near downtown St. Louis began four years ago, and since then St. Clair County worked to meet the criteria — safety, security, room to grow, proximity to a major military client — that should have brought the new western NGA campus to the St. Clair County site next to Scott Air Force Base.
Kern accused federal officials of changing the criteria to favor the North St. Louis site.
By the time of the second public hearing on the NGA site last fall, the attitude of the Army Corps and NGA officials had changed.
They did not listen to us, and that’s why we are here today.
This fear was borne out by the Army Corps’ Final Environmental Impact Statement, or FEIS, which was filled with factual errors and omissions and that played up the North St. Louis site’s advantages and played down its drawbacks, while doing the reverse with the St. Clair County site, according to Kern.
Kern took special aim at the FEIS’ contention that the St. Louis site was better positioned to attract computer savvy young people qualified to work for the intelligence agency. Kern ridiculed a NGA survey of 46 college students employed at the agency that asked for their preferences among the proposed sites. Twenty said they wanted to work in St. Louis and 12 said they wanted to work in St. Clair Couty, Kern said.
