hello
I was employed with a govt undertaking and had to attend a meeting in the chamber of the collector at Nagpur in 2007 as he was the chairperson and I was attending the same as member secretary and was to take the minutes of meeting but the collector was out right abusive and threatened to declare me as a naxelite and get me killed in an encounter this conversation was recorded on the ditata machine which I had carried to record the minutes of the meeting he was apprised of the device by a retired colleague of mine
the collector then snatched the device from me and threw me out of the chamber and called a press conference and declared that I had illegally recorded the meeting and got the managing director of my corporation to suspend me a departmental inquiry was conducted in which the collector refused to testify and refused to attend the same the inquiry officer a retd commissioner in the govt dept exonerated me from all the charges and my suspension was withdrawn
Now I wish to know whether
a) I can file a FIR against the collector to recover the Dicta device
b) If yes is there any time limitation factor
c) As I am based in Chennai can I send a letter to the Nagpur Police commissioner to register a FIR thru post?
