DIAL 0832-2433373 AND CONGRATULATE ASHWIN TOMBAT FOR CARRYING ON WITH HERALD'S PLAGIARISM LEGACY
Change in guard has obviously not meant much to guys working at the Herald. The newspaper appears to have made tolerating plagiarism a sort of a policy. While earlier it was featues and editorials, hard news and breaking stories are also been plagiarised by the newspaper.

Mumbai court declares Sanjay’s marriage invalid
HERALD CORRESPONDENT
MUMBAI, MARCH 18— Sanjay Dutt and Manyata’s ‘marriage’ is in further trouble. A Mumbai court today declared the divorce of Manyata and her first husband Meraj-Ur-Rahman null and void. The court announced that Manyata is still Meraj-Ur-Rahamn’s wife and declared her second marriage null and void, as she did not divorce her first husband.
Meraj‘s advocate Tasneem Shaikh had argued earlier, on March 11, that according to Muslim divorce laws, the ‘khulla’ method (under which a woman approaches her husband for divorce as against man giving ‘talaq’ to his wife) required the husband to ‘release’ the wife. ‘Khulla’ can also be challenged in a court of law if it is not registered. The court ruled that the divorce was not valid in law unless it was registered before the Family Court.
Meraj-Ur-Rahman was present in the court today, and asked for the custody of the two-and-a-half-year-old baby from his marriage with Manyata. The court asked the police to make sure that both Sanjay and Manyata appear before the court in person and to issue summons to ensure their presence. Meraj is currently lodged in the Arthur Road prison. He was arrested for sending obscene messages to actresses and models.
If it is proved that Sunjay married Manyata even after knowing that she was not divorced from her

Mumbai, March 18: The wedding of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt and wife Manyata on late Tuesday took a ‘U’ turn when Mumbai court Judge null and void the divorce of Manyata and her first husband Meraj-Ur-Rahman. The court announced that Manyata is still Meraj-Ur-Rahamn’s wife and declared her second marriage null and void as she did not divorce her first husband. If proved that Sanjay married Manyata even after knowing that she has not divorced her first husband, then a case will be registered against Sanjay Dutt. The court asked the police to make sure that both Sanjay and Manyata appear before the court in person and to issue summon to ensure their presence. The court’s order has come after its 11th March order when they had asked the pair to appear on April 1 but today’s order was more comprehensive and detailed. Neither Sanjay-Manyata nor their lawyer was available for comment. Meraj was present in the court today and he asked for the custody of the two and half year old baby from his marriage with Manyata. Meraj`s advocate had also brought to the court`s notice that the method of divorce adopted, according to Manyata`s statement, was not valid in law unless it was registered before the Family Court. Meraj`s advocate Tasneem Shaikh on 11th March hearing argued before the court that according to Muslim divorce laws, if the ‘khulla` method (under which a woman approaches her husband for divorce as against man giving `talaq` to his wife) was adopted for divorce, then the husband has to "release" the wife. Also, `khulla` could be challenged in a court of law if the same was not registered. Earlier, Meraj-Ur-Rahman claimed that he is still married to Manyata and the Qazi (clerk) who annulled their wedding was false. Rehman is currently in the Arthur road prison after he was arrested for sending obscene messages to actresses and models. Sanjay and Manyata tied the knot in a registered marriage in Goa after which they got married here as per Hindu rituals. However, the first wedding came under the scanner as the Goa marriage registrar`s office sent a show cause notice to Manyata as she had reportedly submitted a fake residential certificate at the time of marriage. Following the notice, Dutt and Manyata filed an application before the Goa marriage registrar seeking to cancel their marriage, which was accepted by the registrar.

The couple can fool the Goa government officials.
They cannot fool God!
Does Manyata believe that God has grown old, senile or blind?
It's quite ironical, rather comical, that Herald which is in a comatose phase has all of a sudden given birth to correspondents and reporters in all the inaccesible nooks and corners of India and the world. So we have a Herald correspondent in Mumbai, Corlim and shortly there will be a stringer in Siberia. These are all ploys to sugarcoat plagiarised reports and pass them off as original masterpieces. Many readers expected that Ashwin would stem this rot or that, at least if he lifted a story, he would be courteous enough to name the source.Someone should also sound Ervell Menezes, the one time news editor of a national newspaper
about this dangerous trail that doesn't seem to let go off Herald.
As in the past, Ervell has been roped in to teach the deskies how to make the Herald a snazzier package in view of ToI's impending entry. Ervell is painstakingly teaching deskies fundamentals that news editor Sergio Caldeira and deputy news editor Joel Afonso never taught them. But the Herald management erroneously believes that overnight wonders can be worked out by engaging Ervell's service for 15 days.This is because Raul finds it expensive to pay anyone professional a decent monthly salary. Once the fortnight is over Dattaram Polle, the loyal accountant, will handover some loose change in his dingy drawer as payment to Ervell.Don't be a wee bit surprised if after Ervell's exit you see more blunders than wonders in Herald.
Herald's Agonda correspondent is my favourite.

Hey, would someone pass on a message to HCN's crew.
Suzanne Telles: Please stop putting on that pseudo british accent.
Gwen Gomes: Hey if you pluck your eyebrows so much you might end up looking like Whoopi Goldberg(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whoopi_Goldberg)!
Can't get the name of the host of the programme called "Hooked Cooked Booked". Is there even one dish you have tasted, that you don't like?
Sidarth: Could you please show us something besides the Menezes Braganza house.(I hope you have taken permission from Yanni, www.yanni.com to play his music in the background)
I'm also sick of watching that Dudhsagar programme you do.
I watch the Tv in the small hours and find only repeat programmes.
There's more to Goa then Succoro de Sta. Cruz, and Alfred Rose songs. Gimme more man.
Before I forget, why is HCN off the air for 25% of the time? The picture during the news telecast is clear but jerky!
Lifted or otherwise, someone in the Herald has taken the trouble to find a news item that is of relevance to Goa, partially rewrite it and give readers news that other papers didn't carry.
Sure it could have been rewriiten better, or the source could have been acknowledged, but I think overall, it deserves praise, not an envious bashing.
Congrats Ashwin keep up the bad work.
Yours
Abreau
