Officer suspended in HMT land case
Bengaluru: Days after the forest minister's recommendation for action against Indian Forest Service (IFS) officials over denotification of HMT land near Peenya-Jalahalli, the govt Wednesday ordered the suspension of R Gokul, additional principal chief conservator of forests (APCCF). Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Gokul, who is currently director-general of Environmental Management and Policy Research Institute (EMPRI), was suspended with immediate effect, pending inquiry. Gokul, along with other IFS and IAS officials, was accused of filing an interlocutory application (IA) in 2020 before the Supreme Court. The application sought denotification of 443.6 acres of forest land granted to HMT at Peenya-Jalahalli plantation without obtaining the approval of then forest minister or bringing it to the cabinet's notice. Exercising powers under Rule 3 (1) (a) of All-India Service (Discipline and Appeal) Rules 1969, the department of personnel and administrative reforms (DPAR) ordered Gokul's suspension. In 2012, while serving as DCF Karwar, Gokul played a key role in exposing the Belekeri port iron ore scam by seizing 3.5 million tonnes of iron ore that was set to be exported illegally from Karnataka.

Andhra Pradesh Govt. decides to initiate disciplinary action against IPS officer P.V. Sunil Kumar
The Government of Andhra Pradesh, on Thursday, decided to initiate disciplinary proceedings against senior IPS officer P.V. Sunil Kumar, the former Director General, Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Response and Fire Services, who is now under suspension, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Rule 8 of the All India Services (Discipline and Appeal), Rules, 1969. The move comes a day after the arrest of another senior IPS officer P.S.R. Anjaneyulu. While Mr. Anjaneyulu was arrested in a case related to the alleged harassment of Mumbai-based actress Kadambari Jethwani, Mr. Sunil Kumar is facing charges related to misbehaviour and misconduct. K. Vijayanand, Chief Secretary, issued G.O. RT. No. 763 on Thursday stating that Mr. Sunil Kumar made several foreign visits by deviating from the actual itinerary for which he sought permission of the Government. Mr. Sunil Kumar made several other foreign visits even without taking permission of the Government. Hence, the Government decided to initiate action against him. 'Mr. Sunil Kumar is directed to submit a written statement of defence and also to state whether he desires to be heard in person, within 30 days of receipt of this order. He is also informed that an inquiry will be held, only in respect of those charges which are not admitted. He is, therefore, required to specifically admit or deny each allegation,' the G.O. said. Action would be initiated against him if he failed to respond, on the ground that he had no explanation to offer, the G.O. said.
