Srinagar, July 19: The Central Administrative Tribunal’s Jammu Bench imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on a former IAS officer for filing a “frivolous” plea against the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, and other senior officials of the administration.
The Tribunal in its July 16 order stated the application filed by the former IAS officer Kumar Ranchoddbhai Parmar about his service was just to “harass” the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and other officials of the J&K administration.
The Tribunal held that it is quite astonishing to note that the applicant proceeded to file the application seeking relief against the Lieutenant Governor, and remarked that it was dismissing the application and imposing a cost of Rs 1 lakh on Parmar to “prevent the filing of such mischievous and frivolous petitions in future”.
