| SC resurrects Bhagat Singh
The Supreme Court of India may well be on its way to scripting a historic exchange with its counterpart in Pakistan. At the heart of this exchange is Bhagat Singh - our shared heritage. Last month, the apex court wrote to the Supreme Court of Pakistan, asking it to loan to India all the original documents related to the Lahore conspiracy trial involving Bhagat and his comrades. The deal looks good, with the Pakistani authorities responding positively so far. If it works out, the original case exhibits will become part of the special exhibition on the historic Bhagat Singh trial, the second in the series of pre-Independence judicial trials conceived in 2006 by the Supreme Court of India. The first in the series of exhibitions, displayed at the Supreme Court Museum in Delhi, was on the Alipore Bomb Conspiracy Case in which Khudiram Bose and Aurbindo Ghose were charged with the conspiracy to kill D.H.
Chad accepts international probe
The decision came after Deby's meeting with his French counterpart, Nicolas Sarkozy, in the Chadian capital of Ndjamena. Sarkozy, on an African tour with wife, Carla Bruni, made a brief stop in Chad to persuade Deby to accept an international investigation into the alleged crackdown on political dissidents. Weeks earlier France helped deliver the country from a rebel attack on its capital. Rights groups have charged that the government declared a state of emergency on February 14 as an excuse to terrorise peaceful political opponents. 'Credible probe' Sarkozy had said he wanted a "credible" international commission to probe the whereabouts of two political opponents who had gone missing since the coup attempt.
