NEWSPAPER HEADLINES

The December 16th gang rape case and the expected pronouncement of sentence against the accused on Friday is front-page story in most papers of the day.

With the Delhi Assembly polls slated for November,  the Pioneer writes, "Election Commission to keep strict eye on candidates' poll expenses". The paper adds that each contesting aspirant will have to open a fresh bank account for transactions of receipts and payments for election purposes.

"Government to change law to protect retired babus from graft probe", writes Hindustan Times. The paper goes on to say that this move is likely to pit the government against the Supreme Court.

The Tribune reports that the precincts of the 8-century old Kedarnath temple once again reverberated with the tolling of bells and chanting of vedic hymns, as prayers resumed at the shrine, 86 days after the Himalayan tsunami struck the area.

"India refuses visa for Pakistan team 'Faisalabad Wolves' for the forthcoming Champions League T-20", in the backdrop of the recent ceasefire violations by Pakistan along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir, says the Asian Age.

"Why fast track VIP cases, Supreme Court poser to High Court", writes the Hindu.  Declining to interfere with an order of the Delhi High Court which refuses to extend former Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala's interim bail on medical grounds, the Supreme Court deprecated the practice of giving preference to cases of VIPs, reports the paper.

"Rich Indians get richer in slowdown", under that headline Mail Today writes that India's super-rich would not know what slowdown is, as they have recorded the highest increase in their ranks among the BRICS nations, in the last 12 months.

And finally, in uplifting news for the economy, that the Indian stock market yesterday regained the one trillion dollar mark after remaining out of this league for about a month, reports the Pioneer.
