WRONGFUL CONFINEMENT AND MURDER BY AGENTS OF THE STATE
The Commission took cognizance of a news item which reported the death of one Hussain Teli, who was brought to the police station at Bonli in Rajasthan for interrogation in connection with the case of the murder of one Prahlad Yadav. It was alleged that Hussain Teli was tortured to death.
The Commission directed its Investigation Division to investigate the matter. Accordingly, an investigation was undertaken and a report was submitted indicating that this was, indeed, a case of death by torture as a result of police interrogation and that the body of Hussain Teli was buried in unusual circumstances by the police with a view to covering-up their misdeeds.
On an examination of the information before it, the Commission noted that Hussain Teli was called to the police station for interrogation and detained illegally. As Hussain Teli died the very next morning after he was released from police custody and as it was found that blood was oozing from his mouth and nose, there was a nexus between the death and conduct of the police during investigation. Even though no external injuries had been noticed in the inquest and the post-mortem report, the circumstances indicated that Hussain was illegally detained and tortured during the police investigation.
The Commission observed that while steps were being taken to prosecute the concerned officials, a case having already been registered against them, this was a fit case for award of compensation to the dependents. Having regard to the circumstances, the Commission directed payment of interim compensation of Rs.50,000/- to the dependents of the deceased Hussain Teli. The State Government has since complied with the recommendations of the Commission.
The Commission took suo-motu cognizance of an instance of police brutality, published in the Hindustan Times on 3 September 1998, under the heading "Police brutality again in Kerala". The report stated that a college lecturer was beaten mercilessly by the police as he had dared to question the fare demanded by the driver of an autorickshaw he had taken while visiting Kozhikode. When the lecturer became unconscious, his legs and hands were tied and he was shifted to a mental hospital, and a case was made out that he was a violent mental patient. The mental hospital did not admit him because of his serious condition and he was taken to the Medical College. The reporters and photographers, who tried to obtain a first hand account of the torture inflicted upon the victim, were also assaulted by the police.
The Commission issued notices to the Chief Secretary and DGP, Government of Kerala. According to the report submitted by the Commissioner of Police, the deeds of the concerned police officials were confirmed. On the basis of this factual confirmation, the Government had suspended the culprits (2 sub-inspectors, 1 ASI, 1 Head Constable, 3 Police Constables) and an enquiry was ordered against them.
Convinced that appropriate steps were being taken against the culprits, the case was closed by the Commission. The Govt. was directed to report the result of the disciplinary action taken against the delinquent officials with utmost expedition.

POWER FACTOR CORRECTION IN LARGE ELECTRICAL NETWORKS
POWER
FACTOR correction is an important component of Electrical Engineering
concerning Alternating Currents.When DC is passed through a coil the coil only
gives resistance. When AC is passed through the coil it gives a vector sum of
resistance and reluctance. Reluctance is the Magnetic component of the
opposition to the flow of Alternating current. Reluctance comes because of the
self induction component because the coil creates an opposing electro-motive
force or emf because of self-induction. What is self induction? Alternating
current passing through a coil induces voltage in the coil opposing the flow of
current which is called Self-induction.
When I
was a student of Electrical Engineering I used to constantly read Edward Hughes,Vincent
Del Toro and Charles Siskind in whose books the fundamental concepts of
Electrical Engineering are dealt with in fine detail.Added to that the very
experienced faculty at the Regional Engineering College Calicut (NIT) of our
times Dr.Prabhakaran ,Dr. P P Gerwadis, Dr K P Mohandas and Dr. P S Srinivasan
all of whom did involved teaching in their own style with commitment for a long
stretch of time leaving Electrical Engineering indelible from my mind.
What are
the consequences of high inductance in an AC circuit. It increases current leading to power losses and creates heat from magnetization
just like the heat created by a microwave -owen.It creates loss of power and
adds to various forms of transients. It creates insulation failure and
dis-orients electrical networks.
When an
Alternating current is impressed upon a coil the current lags behind the
voltage which literally means it struggles to catch-up with the Voltage. Larger
the lag due to higher inductance lesser the fraction of useful power and higher
the fraction of reactive power which is wasted in magnetisation and radiation
of heat.
What is one of the solutions for this problem? Itis to shunt the circuit with an appropriate Capacitor. The Capacitor regulates voltage and reduces the lag of the earlier current passing through the coil literally absorbing reactive power and converting it into useful power.Such a measure reduces heat dissipation and increases circuit delivered power. The situation is similar to the relation between BHP,IHP and FHP in an engine. IHP is the integrated horse power the actual power created in the engine..FHP is the frictional horse power which creates heat and losses and BHP is Brake Horse Power the actual power delivered by the engine. FHP is akin to the reactive power in an electrical circuit which can be reduced by using Capacitor shunt which reduces this component.But how? Current through a Capacitor leads the Voltage.Capacitors block Voltage but its dielectric depending on the frequency passes current. Exactly opposite to inductive circuits in capacitive circuits Voltage tries to catch up with the current.
When I used to work in Electrical Maintenance long back I had developed a simple formula for arriving at the value of the Shunt Capacitor needed for any given Electrical network and also tested it with the hand book of Electrical Engineering and to my glee found that they match ditto.I was excited but left this area of Electrical Engineering for a short while to dabble with Information technology. Recently I tried to re-invent the formula few days back with some measure of success and I would like pundits of electrical engineering to put it to some form analysis to confirm if it works.
Note that large Electrical Networks are three phase and on the load side they have meters that indicate Current, Voltage and Power Factor and laso the Power. Our job is to note the Power factor and increase it to the level necessary.The basic analysis of such a situation can be done using a simple single phase diagram.

The above is an illustration of the above discussed matter.The whole thing needs scrutiny and testing.Two circuits of a simple kind are shown which are r-l circuit and in diagram B they are shunted by a capacitor. Power and Voltage are held constant. The phasor diagrams are shown and note the impedance diagram. ɸn is the new angle after correction and cosɸn is the new power factor.
NOTE TANɸn = (XL - XC) / R
XC = Xl - R Tanɸn
XC IS CAPACITIVE REACTANCE
XL IS INDUCTIVE REACTANCE
XC IS CAPACITIVE REACTANCE
XL IS INDUCTIVE REACTANCE

CALICUTCITY:KETTANGAL
I was having a Milk Shake recently and happenned to remember the Banana Milk Shake and Mango Milk Shake which I used to have sometimes with my batch-mate S V Giri in Kettangal. Kettangal is a hamlet adjacent to REC NIT Calicut. During our times we used to visit Kettangal for milk shake which used to cost Rs. 5/- at one of those outlets run by some very elderly person. He used to peel the mangoes himself and empty them into an old mixi and a roar of the mixi for few minutes and he empties a thick soup of Mango milk shake into a tumbler and it was pleasure having one. It must have added value to our health in those days supplying vital nutrients to the body.
I have not visited Kettangal of late but must be more intense in population by now. Kettangal is basically a confluence of four roads. One that comes from Calicut via Kunnamangalam and proceeds to Mukkom, another that goes adjacent to the E hostel and proceeds to Koduvally, and another towards Mavoor .
Kettangal had some three hotels one of which used to be Ali's joint.In Ali's hotel you get Mixture with onion laced on it and on a rainy evening having it with a cup of tea used to be Heaven.
Kettangal never sleeps.It is active at night too with small eat outs working overtime supplying bread omelette and tea.
I dont know what would be the future of this joint? With increase in population may be the roads here might need widening which could change the face of this place. Kettangal! You were a joy of our lives on any given day not to mention the music played at some of these joints which could be heard aloud and a saloon nearby.
