The Central Administrative Tribunal, Bangalore today stayed the order passed by the Government of Karnataka which kept Mr. Shivanand Naikwadi, IFS under suspension for speaking rudely with the local MLA Mr. Duryodhan Aihole.
According to the pleadings in the petition filed before the CAT, the matter pertains to illegal construction on the forest land. The local MLA called the IFS officer on behalf of the contractor to allow the contraction. At this juncture, the IFS officer who had already received several calls from persons impersonating as the MLA, retorted at the MLA questioning the bonafides of the MLA.
The MLA gave a complaint to the Chief Minister in this regard which resulted in the suspension order.
After hearing the arguments of Mr. S. Basavaraj, Senior Advocate, the Tribunal passed the order staying the Government Order till the next date of hearing.
