CBI: Joint Director of CBI found guilty in a 26 year old case, had committed this crime by forcibly entering the house.
Delhi IRS Officer Assault Case: Delhi’s Tis Hazari Court, while giving a major verdict in a 26 year old case, has convicted two officers including CBI Joint Director Ramnish Gir. Tis Hazari Court has convicted two senior CBI officers for maliciously raiding the house of an IRS officer in 2000. The Court said that the officer’s arrest was a well-planned conspiracy to quash the CAT order. Tis Hazari Court Judge Shashank Nandan Bhatt has found CBI Inspector VK Pandey and DSP Ramneesh guilty under sections 323, 427 and 448 of the IPC.
1994 Bench CBI officer Ramnish Gir (CBI Joint Director Ramnish Gir) was awarded the Police Medal by the President. Ramneesh is currently posted as Joint Director of CBI in Guwahati. When this raid took place in the year 2000, Ramneesh was posted as Superintendent of Police (SP). The complainant is Ashok Kumar Aggarwal, who is a 1985 batch IRS officer. At that time he was working as Deputy Director of Enforcement in Delhi Zone. He was acquitted in both the CBI cases.
The court, in its order dated April 17, said that the entire search and arrest proceedings taken by the accused on October 19, 2000 were in violation of the powers given to them by law. He said that the sole purpose of that action was to nullify the order of the Central Administrative Tribunal, which had directed review of the suspension of the complainant IRS officer Ashok Kumar Aggarwal. The court has listed the case for further proceedings to pronounce sentence after holding both the officers guilty.
This is the whole matter
Actually, it was registered on the complaint of 1985 batch IRS officer Ashok Kumar Aggarwal. He had alleged that on the morning of 19 October 2000, the CBI team forcibly entered his house in Paschim Vihar and broke the door. He was beaten and illegally arrested. Ashok Aggarwal said that this action was a revenge for the ongoing dispute between him and some senior officers and was taken to weaken the order to review his suspension. The accused argued in the court that what they did was part of their duty and they should get protection under Section 197 of CrPC. But the court rejected this argument.
Mischief is breaking the door without any reason
Tis Hazari Court said that breaking the door without reason is a mischief. Entering someone’s house with wrong intentions comes under the category of criminal trespass. Also, the court admitted that during the arrest, Ashok Aggarwal got an injury on his hand which was caused due to dragging and pushing him. The accused could not give any exact reason for this injury. In the end, the court said that both the officers had colluded and misused their powers and the prosecution had fully proved the charges against them.
A case was registered under these sections
In a landmark judgment on Saturday, Ramneesh, currently serving as Joint Director, CBI (who was posted as Deputy Superintendent of Police in CBI’s SIU-8 in 2000), and VK Pandey, a retired Assistant Commissioner of Police, Delhi (at that time Inspector in CBI’s SIU-9), have been convicted of causing hurt, nuisance, criminal trespass and acts committed with common intention.
