| Suspension Of IAS Officer Who Checked PM Modi's Chopper Put On Hold | | | Bengaluru:
The suspension of an IAS officer who had checked Prime Minister Narendra Modi's helicopter in Odisha's Sambalpur last week has been put on hold by the Central Administrative Tribunal. The Election Commission had suspended Mohammed Mohsin, saying that he "had not acted in conformity" with instructions on Special Protection Group (SPG) protectees.
However, opposition parties had expressed outrage at the move, saying there was no rule which exempts anyone from such checks during polls.
Staying the suspension today, the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) said, "it cannot be said that SPG Protectees are eligible for anything and everything" and that "election officials have checked private vehicles of [Karnataka] Chief Minister Shri [HD] Kumaraswamy more than once and no action followed... the Chief Minister of Odisha's vehicles were also checked."
Referring to the controversy over a black trunk seen being hauled away from the Prime Minister's helicopter during a rally in Karnataka , the tribunal said, "questions were raised about it but apparently no action followed".
The CAT has asked both sides to respond to its observations in three weeks. |
