PANAJI PI DECLINES TO REGISTER CHEATING CASE AGAINST DGP ADITYA ARYA
Panaji Police Inspector Ramesh Gaonkar has declined to register a criminal case of cheating against Goa’s Director General of Police Dr Aditya Arya.
The Police Inspector by a letter has informed Adv. Aires Rodrigues that the complaint filed by him against the DGP in connection with the Gokarna visit does not make out a cognizable case against DGP Dr Arya.
Adv. Aires Rodrigues had filed a complaint at the Panaji Police Station against DGP Dr Arya for having caused a loss to the State exchequer by having on 16th October unauthorisedly taken his official vehicle GA-08-G-0064 to Gokarna in Karnataka for a purely personal visit, having traveled 393 kms.
Stating that as per directives of the Government, any official vehicle cannot be traveling out of State without the written permission of the Chief Secretary, Adv. Rodrigues in his complaint had stated that this act by the DGP amounts to a clear act of cheating the State exchequer punishable under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code. Adv. Rodrigues has in his complaint further stated that though DGP Arya had claimed that he had obtained ‘verbal permission’ from the Chief Minister to travel to Gokarna, that the Chief Minister had stated that no such permission had been sought nor obtained.
Meanwhile, Adv. Aires Rodrigues has today stated that before moving the Court he would be appealing to the North Goa Superintendent of Police under section 154 (3) of the Criminal Procedure Code against the decision of the Panaji PI not to register the case against the DGP.
Adv. Rodrigues has also stated that he would be writing to Union Home Minister Mr. P. Chidambaram to seek a probe into the illegalities committed by DGP Dr. Aditya Arya.
