Patna, (BiharTimes): A local Janata Dal (U) leader,
Sarim Ali, on Wednesday filed a criminal complaint
case against the Magadh Division Commissioner, K P
Rammaiah, in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate
(CJM), Gaya.
Sarim, former up-pramukh of the Manpur block filed the case under Sections 219, 384 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code. He was earlier removed from his post on a complaint lodged by the block pramukh. Rammaiah passed the order for his removal.
Rammaiah is already engaged in a turf war with the Panchayati Raj department Principal Secretary Pancham Lal on the issue of the power to remove elected representatives of the Panchayati Raj system. Only last month the Commissioner removed the Gaya Mayor and Chairman of the Zilla Parishad.
According to the Section 219 of the IPC “whoever being a public servant, corruptly or maliciously makes or pronounces in any stage of a judicial proceeding, any report, order, verdict or decision which he knows to be contrary to law, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to seven years, or with fine or with both.”
The complaint said that complainant was deprived of his basic legal rights and the commissioner passed the removal order without hearing his version.
The CJM B N Lal Srivastava has fixed April 19, 2008, as the next date on which the statement of the complainant will be formally recorded by the court.
