Chhattisgarh HC issues contempt notice to police officials for not complying with compassionate appointment order
RAIPUR: The Chhattisgarh High Court issued contempt notices to DIG Parul Mathur and Janjgir-Champa SP Vijay Pandey for failing to comply with its order to provide a compassionate appointment to the son of the late ASI Boond Ram Bharti within 90 days. Bharti was compulsorily retired in 2017, but after his death, his service was reinstated following a High Court directive. The delay in implementing the court's order prompted a contempt petition, highlighting the broader issue of over 1,100 such petitions filed this year due to non-compliance by authorities. The case involves the late Boond Ram Bharti, who was compulsorily retired from service as an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) by the DIG (Administration), Raipur, on 18 August 2017. Following his death, the Home Secretary cancelled the compulsory retirement order, making his dependents eligible for compassionate appointment, as per a High Court order. However, despite the High Court's directive to provide a compassionate appointment within 90 days, Vikki Bharti, son of Boond Ram Bharti, has not yet received the appointment in the police department. Counsels Abhishek Pandey and Priya Agrawal filed a contempt petition in the High Court. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AirSense 11 – Smart tech for deep sleep ResMed Buy Now Undo They informed the court that senior police officers are failing to comply with court orders within the stipulated timeframe. This non-compliance resulted in 1,149 contempt petitions being filed between January and July this year, consuming valuable court time. The counsels cited provisions for six months imprisonment and a ₹2,000 fine in contempt cases. The counsels sought action against the DIG and SP under Section 12 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. Taking serious note of the matter, the High Court issued notices to the senior police officers, seeking their replies. Clarifying the restoration of Boond Ram Bharti's service after his death, counsel Pandey said that many govt employees over the age of 50 were compulsorily retired under a govt scheme following an assessment of their performance and alleged poor service records. Boond Ram, along with several other affected employees, challenged the compulsory retirement orders in the High Court. In response, a committee was constituted to review the cases in accordance with the court's directive. The committee subsequently recommended the reinstatement of several employees, including Boond Ram Bharti. However, in the interim, Boond Ram passed away, and his service was reinstated 21 days after his death, the counsel informed the court.

2 conmen arrested from Tamil Nadu for duping salt lake sisters in investment fraud
KOLKATA: Two conmen were arrested from Tamil Nadu in connection with an investment fraud where a Salt Lake-based woman was duped of Rs 1.3 crores in February this year. According to the complaint lodged at the cyber crime police station, Sreyoshi Pal (38), a resident of FE Block in Salt Lake, and her elder sister Sayantani Chakraborty were duped by the conmen over a period of days. According to the FIR, the fraud began in October 2024, when Pal came into contact with one "Ali Vikas" via WhatsApp, who introduced her to a platform called Stonewall Capital for trading and wealth management. After initially investing Rs 9.9 lakhs, Pal received small returns that encouraged her to recommend the platform to her sister. Sayantani Chakraborty later transferred around Rs 1.2 crore across 12 transactions. When the fraudster demanded more money, the sisters realised they were cheated. The sisters also submitted their grievances on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal, which led to the registration of the case.
