Delhi High Court dismisses former IPS officer Satish Chandra Verma’s plea challenging his dismissal from service just a month before retirement.
Satish Chandra Verma had assisted CBI in the Ishrat Jahan encounter case. Based on his report, SIT had concluded that the encounter was fake.
A Division Bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva passed the order after having reserved it on March 1, 2023
Verma was suspended after he gave an interview to a TV channel in 2016. He was Chief Vigilance Officer of the North Eastern Electric Power Corporation in Shillong at the time.
It is Verma’s case that he was only clarifying the accusations made against him by the CBI while probing the Ishrat Jahan case.
However, the Government argued that Verma’s statements in the interview had the effect of an adverse criticism of encounter and were capable of affecting the relationship of India with the neighbouring country.
He was charged with providing information into investigation in the Ishrat Jahan case and the information about interrogation of a senior officer in connection with the case.
Delhi HC said We find no merit in the petition, the petition is dismissed, dismissal order upheld.
