Senior sub inspector Ajay kumar, told TOI all was well in the area. There was no tension at all. Asked if there is any criminal case had been lodged against mischief-mongers trying to fuel communal passions. The officer replied: "jab kuchh hua hi nahi to case kis liye”.

The situation was so quiet that the local police decided not even to mention it in the General Diary till afternoon next day at least.

SUPREME COURT ORDER

"NO NEW TEMPLES, MOSQUES, CHURCHES AND GURDWARAS CAN BE CONSTRUCTED ON PUBLIC PARKS, PUBLIC STREETS AND PUBLIC SPACES" AND "THE BAN MUST BE ENFORCED EVEN IF IT GAVE RISE TO A LAW AND ORDER PROBLEM."

BHATI 41 MINUTE REVEAL

Chief Minister Gives Suspension Order

Under The Presure Of Sand Mafia

Or For Vote Bank

DURGA’s REPLYIn her reply has stated that she was innocent.

"She has focused on three points. o First that she went to Kadalpura on the instruction of district magistrate of Gautam Buddha Nagar, K. Ravikant.

o The second point is that she never ordered demolition of the disputed wall. It was brought down by villagers after her meeting with them.

She also stated that There was no unrest in the village when she returned.

o She had followed Supreme Court orders.

CENTER INTERVENTIONCongress president Sonia Gandhi write a letter to

PM , saying that Durga Nagpal should not be "unfairly treated".

The department of personnel and training (DoPT)

has shown urgency in the matter.

REPORT TO CENTRAL GOVT. Rules say that a state government has to mandatorily give a report to the centre in case of suspension of an IAS office.

UP govt. send report after centre had written to up government thrice for report. The centre is examining a report received by the ministry of personnel, which is the nodal authority for administrative matters related to IAS.

The All India Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1969

IT SAYS: “BETWEEN A STATE GOVERNMENT AND THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT, THE OPINION OF THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT SHALL PREVAIL”.

MEANING THAT THE MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL WILL DECIDE ON DURGA’S FATE.

Public-interest litigations The suspension order was challenged in the Allahabad High Court on 30 July 2013 through PIL requesting the court to direct CG to ask the SG to prevent harassment of HONEST officers.

On 8 August, the SP accepted a PIL filed by an advocate M. L. Sharma. seeking dismissal of all charges against Nagpal based on the court's ruling.

"The moment she approaches the court, we will hear her plea”. SUPREME COURT REFUSING TO ENTERTAIN PIL.

HUSBAND SUSPENSION

Abhishek singh, , a 2011 batch IAS officer, was also transferred by the UP govt from Greater Noida to Jhansi.

He has been made the Joint Magistrate of Jhansi.

The transfer orders were issued late night.

Unlike the common practice of the batch of the transferred bureaucrat being mentioned in the release

In this case, the batches of the 16 IAS officers posted as joint magistrates have not been mentioned.

A posting in Jhansi (the backward bundelkhand region of the state) is considered relatively insignificant

DECISION REVIEW BY CM PRESURE MOUNTS ON MR AKHILESH YADAV TO REVIEW HIS OWN ACT   If he sticks to his position that his decision to suspend is correct, the centre or the courts may intervene;

if revokes the suspension order, he faces the danger of being called ‘weak’.

PUNJAB DEPUTY CM REACTION

FIGURES REGARDING SUSPENSIONS

As per the IAS association’s data, over 100 such suspensions in 20 years puts UP at the top of the list in punishing honest officers .

100 out of the 105 suspensions in UP had to be withdrawn after no real evidence of the officers’ wrongdoings could be put on record.

A 60% Of such suspensions took place during the Mayawati regime.35%have been suspended during SP rule.

Blame it on unprofessional work culture or political interference, in the last 10 years, 181 IAS officers have left their jobs to join big corporate houses.

SUGGESTIONS DOPT may revisit rules that outlines procedure for disciplinary action against an officer of the service.

A minimum tenure should be ensured so that they can efficiently and fearlessly do their job.

Mandatory show-cause notice should be served to an officer seeking his or her explanation within a specified timeframe before suspension.
