New Delhi: The Supreme Court Friday issued notice to the Maharashtra government, film maker Subhash Ghai and PIL petitioner Rajendra Lakshman Sontakke on a plea by union minister Vilasrao Deshmukh challenging the adverse remarks passed against him by the Bombay High Court in a land allocation case.
A court bench headed by Justice HL Dattu also issued notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
Mr Deshmukh's lawyer argued in court that he had "signed in the agreement between Ghai and the Film corporation as a token of blessing and has no hand in transaction."
To this the court said, "Blessings are given by hand not by signature..." and asked, "What is the message given by this signature?"
The court has asked for a response in four weeks, after which Deshmukh has been given two weeks to file his reply.
The Bombay High Court, while cancelling the allotment of 20 acres of government land to Ghai's Whistlingwood International, had described the role of then Maharashtra Chief Minister Deshmukh as depricable and said that he clearly misused his office and had accepted undue favours.

New Delhi: After hitting near-crisis mode, India's case to bring back two young children placed in foster care in Norway appears to be back on track. Sources say the agreement to be presented in the Norwegian District Court has been signed by the parents and the uncle under the supervision of Indian authorities. The agreement says one-year-old Aishwarya and three-year-old Abhigyan will be placed in the custody of their father's brother, Arunabhas Bhattacharya.
India has spent three months backing the children's parents, Anurup and Sagarika Bhattcharya, in their demand that the children be allowed to come back to India. The children were placed in foster care last May by child welfare officials who decided the Bhattacharyas were unfit parents and their son suffered from an attachment disorder and needed better care. A series of visits by Indian diplomats convinced Norwegian authorities to assess Mr Anurup's brother as a possible care-giver. He has been visiting his niece and nephew supervised by child welfare officials.
But over the weekend, Mr Anurup was quoted by a series of newspapers as saying that he was planning to separate from his wife who is physically abusive. Sources in the Indian government said he had told Norwegian authorities that he would prefer his children to stay there. His brother had also allegedly said that he no longer wanted to look after the children because he was worried of a long legal dispute with their mother if the children were to return to India. That left the Indian government deeply embarrassed and yesterday, it asked its officials in Norway to talk to the Bhattacharyas for a clear understanding of their position. Meanwhile, child welfare officials issued a statement saying that the new family dispute would not allow them to hand the children to the Bhattacharyas or their relatives.
Mr Anurup told NDTV yesterday that his wife and he remain committed to bring their children home with Mr Arunabhas as their legal guardian. The statement will now be put forth to the Stavanger District court that needs to be convinced that it is best for children to return to India with their uncle. With the Indian diplomats backing the parents, the Norwegians will be under pressure again to not make fresh demands to dictate terms that they assess as necessary for children's well being with the uncle.

Gurgaon: Angered over the death of a co-worker, labourers at a construction site here pelted stones at private vehicles and torched a police gypsy, police said on Friday.
Labourer Babul Hasan, 25, from Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh died after falling from the seventh floor of an under-construction multi-storey building being built by Larsen & Toubro at Behrampur Road here.
Alleging that the contractor had not provided safety equipment, the workers turned violent. They pelted stones outside the company premises while shouting slogans against the contractor. They blocked the road and vandalized several vehicles including a BMW car.
"When police arrived at the spot, the labourers set the Badshahpur SHO's gypsy on fire," said assistant sub-inspector Subhash. However, no one from the police party was injured.
Later, additional forces were called in. Senior officials arrived at the spot and a number of protestors were taken into custody.
Badshahpur police station SHO inspector Rajpal said police have registered a criminal case against the labourers and detained some people.

Brussels: The European Union banned the wife of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from travelling to the EU or shopping with European companies in a move to stop her buying the Chanel dresses and Louboutin shoes she craves.
The EU's latest round of sanctions, which also targeted the president's mother and sister, is notable for including Assad's London-born wife Ms Asma, whose luxury shopping habit was laid bare this month in a cache of hacked emails.
She was once admired for her cosmopolitan glamour, but has over the past year turned into a hate figure for many Syrians, standing by her husband as he conducts a bloody crackdown against a popular uprising in which thousands have been killed.
"With this new listing we are striking at the heart of the Assad clan, sending out a loud and clear message to Mr. Assad: he should step down," Dutch Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal said on the sidelines of an EU ministers' meeting in Brussels.
A former investment banker, Asma al-Assad once cultivated the image of a serious-minded woman inspired by Western values.
But she appears to have continued a life of luxury shopping and entertainment during the uprising against the four-decade rule of the Assad family, while according to the United Nations at least 8,000 people have been killed in the violence.
Emails she exchanged with her husband, obtained by Britain's Guardian newspaper, apparently showed they were buying pop music and luxury goods on the internet during the bloodshed.
MAKING SANCTIONS PERSONAL
Asma al-Assad, a 36-year-old mother of three, has been shown to have a penchant for crystal-encrusted Christian Louboutin shoes and Chanel dresses from France.
Before the Syrian insurgency started a year ago, a glowing article in Vogue magazine described her as "a rose in the desert" and her household as "wildly democratic".
But that image has crumbled as the emails showed her spending tens of thousands of pounds on jewels, fancy furniture, and a Venetian glass vase from Harrods.
After Friday's decision, EU border guards will refuse her entry if she tries to travel into the bloc. But Britain will have to allow her in if she uses a British passport.
EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels also expanded the list of people facing asset freezes and bans on travel to the EU to several other Syrians, and barred European companies from doing business with two Syrian oil companies, EU officials said.
The decisions, which come into force on Saturday, build on 12 previous rounds of sanctions aimed at isolating Assad within Syria and cutting off his sources of finance. These included an arms embargo and a ban on importing Syrian oil into the EU.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said sanctions would send a strong signal to Assad that the international community opposed his actions and wanted him to give up power.
"I cannot say in strong enough terms how much we are concerned about what is going on in Syria," Ms Ashton told reporters in Brussels.
She said the international community's objective was "a situation where Assad recognises his responsibility, moves aside and we are able to see a genuine movement forward in Syria".
Mr Assad has been the target of sanctions since May last year, but these have so far had little impact on his policies. Violence has intensified in Syria in recent weeks as pro-government forces bombard rebel towns and villages, looking to sweep their lightly armed opponents out of their strongholds.
The international community has struggled to formulate a joint approach in the face of opposition from Russia and China to U.N. Security Council resolutions proposed by the West.

New Delhi: Kanimozhi, the Rajya Sabha MP who spent six months in jail, has asked the Delhi High Court to drop the charges that led to her arrest in the telecom scam. Her lawyers say that there is no evidence that she conspired with the others being tried for the swindle, including her party's A Raja, the former telecom minister who is still in jail.
The CBI has accused Kanimozhi of criminal conspiracy, cheating and attempt to bribe a public servant, Mr Raja. She was granted bail in November. Kanimzohi's father heads the DMK and is a powerful member of the ruling UPA coalition at the Centre.
Kanimozhi was arrested because a firm part-owned by her, Kalaignar TV, allegedly served as the landing place for a 214-crore bribe for Mr Raja. The money was sent, according to the CBI, by Swan Telecom which had won an out-of-turn telecom license from Mr Raja in 2008. The money was allegedly routed through a maze of companies all associated with or owned by Swan.
But Kanimozhi's lawyers say that she was only a shareholder in Kalaignar TV and that she played no role in its management's decisions. They also say that the money that was paid to Kalaignar TV was a laon that was returned with interest. The CBI says the money was sent back only after the case against Mr Raja began picking up speed.
