A very Happy Independence day to all
First woman judge to hoist national tricolour in Madurai
The Madras High Court Judge Chitra Venkataraman on Saturday earned the rare honour of being the first woman judge to hoist the national flag during the Independence Day celebrations on the Madurai Bench premises.
She also garlanded a life-size statue of Mahatma Gandhi and took the guard of honour from the Armed Reserve Police personnel even as scores of students from nearby schools looked up to her and other judges for inspiration.
Ms. Justice Venkataraman was also the first judge to hoist the tricolour in a traditional Indian dress appropriate to the occasion. She wore a cotton sari sans the colonial waist coast usually worn by woman judges.
Judges P. Murgesen, A. Selvam, R.S. Ramanathan, C.S. Karnan, T.S. Sivagnanam and M. Duraiswamy participated in the function also attended by law officers, advocates, court staff and their family members.
A blood donation camp was organised in the High Court dispensary by the Government Rajaji Hospital here, followed by cultural programmes by the children of court staff and lawyers practising in the Bench.
The cultural programmes were conducted in the portico of the Bench as the inauguration of a meeting hall, which was airconditioned recently, by the Chief Justice of India K.G. Balakrishnan on July 25, had been postponed.
The High Court judges in Chennai are deputed in batches to the Madurai Bench every two months. It has been a practice in the Bench since its inception in July 2004 to request the senior most among them to hoist the national flag.

Indian expats celebrate Independence Day

RIYADH/JEDDAH: Indian expatriates across Saudi Arabia joined their compatriots in India and other overseas places on Saturday to celebrate their country’s 63rd Independence Day with great enthusiasm.
In Riyadh, Ambassador M.O.H. Farook unfurled the national flag and read Indian President Pratibha Patil’s message, while in Jeddah acting Consul General B.S. Mubarak raised the national flag and read the president’s address. Students of International Indian Schools in Riyadh and Jeddah presented patriotic songs at the two ceremonies.
Farook highlighted the progressively growing Saudi-India relations with special reference to the issues confronting the globe on which the two countries shared identical views. He stressed the need to make India a stronger and stable nation, while tackling the issues concerning security. Rajeev Shahare, deputy chief of the Indian mission, and diplomats were among those present. The ambassador hosted a reception at the IISR Girls Section.
Consulate officers and staff, and members of the community were present at the ceremony held at the consulate in Jeddah. At the ceremony held at IISJ, its Managing Committee Chairman Salah Kardan, accompanied by MC member Saeed S. Sayed and Principal M. Ayub Shaikh, unfurled the national flag.
Patil said in her message that she was confident that the nation would move forward to become an exemplary democracy, an economic power and a progressive society. “If we have to progress, communal harmony is important,” she said. “Peaceful coexistence is inherent in our culture. Terrorism, which targets innocent people, is the very antithesis of peaceful coexistence. It is condemnable because it is against the tenets of every religion and faith. It must be defeated in the interest of the collective goal of humankind to build peaceful societies and a peaceful world. We need to work together toward this end as humankind shares a common destiny,” the president added.
Echoing the president’s sentiments, both Farook and Mubarak called on the community to face challenges and work toward ensuring a comprehensive, integrated system of social justice and security.
