Gujarat High Court has just delivered a scathing rebuke to Vadodara Collector Anil Dhameliya. In open court, Justice Niral R. Mehta rejected his repeated apologies and called his affidavit “disturbing” and “scandalous” for casting aspersions on a judicial officer. The judge’s words were blunt: “You can’t make any statement against any judicial officers like this. Don’t dare it even in the future. You are not allowed. Keep your bureaucracy upto your collector office.” He further observed that the Collector had “crossed the limit” and that the Court had come across dozens of his orders on non-agricultural (NA) permissions that thoroughly flouted the law and the High Court’s own dictums. This is not an isolated episode. The same Collector already faces contempt proceedings (with charges framed in at least one matter) for non-compliance with earlier High Court orders on NA cases. Fines have been imposed previously. The Court has now directed Additional Chief Secretary (GAD) T. Natarajan to place both this case and the earlier contempt matter before the disciplinary authority and tell the Court, by 27 November, what action the Government of Gujarat proposes to take. Officers are expected to place facts before the Court, not comment on the conduct of judicial officers. When a District Collector repeatedly passes orders contrary to settled law, faces contempt, and then files an affidavit attacking a judicial officer, the High Court is right to demand accountability. The people of Gujarat are entitled to know what concrete disciplinary action will follow. The ACS, GAD, the Chief Secretary, and the Government of Gujarat must answer—not with more apologies, but with a clear decision on whether an officer who has been found to flout court orders and cast aspersions on the judiciary will continue in this post. What I have stated above is very disturbing but would you care to know why this is happening? Why is the collector of Vadodara acting the way he is? This is just one case and one officer I am sure if we unearthed, many such cases will come to the forefront. I pity these IAS and IPS officers who have become puppets in the hands of Politicians specially of BJP. Where is the office of Vadodara Member Of Parliament @drhemangjoshimp ?? Right in The Collector's office!! Who is so naive to think that the Collector is taking all his decisions independently? At least the clip here doesn't suggest that? Anyone who has cleared UPSC and become a DM would have that understanding but Shri Dhameliya hasn't, why? Connect the dots. This is the practice where ever there is BJP government and the coaches who teach these things are our own honourable PM and HM.
