A petition demanding action against J S Sangwan, the SDM, was filed today in the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
A division bench headed by Chief Justice Vijender Kumar Jain thus issued notices to the SDM; Financial Commissioner, Haryana Civil Secretariat and the Haryana government.
M Kumar, a resident of Gurgaon, sought action against the SDM for malafide intention in preparing an incorrect record of proceedings of the case.
The petition stated Sangwan did not sign the jimni orders of the case and also announced two orders on the same date, in complete contradiction to each other. The case pertains to encroachment of a panchayat land, which was forwarded to the SDM by Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner.
It has been alleged that the SDM did not take up the case and gave 22 adjournments. When he finally did take up the case, he passed two orders on the same day. While one order stated that the case had been adjourned for spot inspection, the other order claimed that the spot had been inspected.
The petitioner sought directions from the High Court that the records of the case be sealed and stay granted on the proceedings being presided over the SDM. Directions for registration of FIR against the SDM under Section 219 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) have also been sought.
