VINOD KUMAR SETH (Scientific Officer (Chemical))     27 March 2012

Malacious prosecution

 

Sir, I am a Central Govt. officer holding a post of Scientific Officer in Ministry of Consumer Affairs, National Test House (SR), Chennai. before joining at NTH, Chennai I was working at NTH, Mumbai and posted on promotion to Chennai. While working at Mumbai, one of my Sr. Officer having enmity with me has filed a false FIR dated 17/09/2008 against me under ipc 328. He also complained to Director of the Office. Departmental inquiry has exonerated me and I was promoted and transferred to Chennai after getting clear vigilance report. Police of Mumbai has not taken any action saying that complain in FIR was not tenable and case was almost closed for three years. The Officer who assisted to file FIR against me become the head of Department and he arranged to file another false FIR against me in Chennai under ipc 408. With the help of local police and misusing his power and post he he succeded to sent in Judicial Custody for two days (Saturday and Sunday). Monday I applied for bail and bail was granted on tuesday. I was suspended from duties because I spent more than 48 hours in custody. I challanged the matter in the Hon, Central Administrative Tribunal, Chennai and CAT has issued order to office to immediately join the duty. But office has not followed the order and I filed a contempt petition in CAT. The contempt notice was served to the concern Authorities of Deptt . 

After getting the contempt notice the Concern Authorities were very angry and annoyed with me. The approched the Mumbai police Station to reopen the old case and with the help of some higher police Officer and misusing their power they succeed to  get a non bailable warrant against me directly from the Magistrate stating that I was absconding. while I was doing my duty in Govt. office at Chennai. The mumbai police has come to Chennai and arrested and kept me in a hotel of Chennai for 4 days (from 09/02/2011 to 13/02/2012) without poducing me to local magistrate within 24 hours of arrest. There was my hearing on 09/02/2012 with Central Information commossion and on 14/02/2012 in CAT for contempt notice for which I was party in person. on 13/02/2012 the Policemen from Mumbai taken me to Banglore and 14/02/2012 taken me to Mumbai and produced before Magistrate. Magistrate sent me to Judicial Custody without listening me. Further I was released on bail and suspended from the office again.

 

Now after trial for six months I was acquitted on merit in Mumbai case on 30/06/2011 and The learned Judge has made many adverse comment against the plice and complainant.  

Chennai police has given report that the case FIR filed against was false and it was mistakes of facts/law. 

 

Now I want to file two cases of Malicious Prosecution against the complainant and their supporters.

please advise over the both cases and suggest that whether I can file both malocious Prosecution cases at Chennai ?

Please help me, I shall be highly oblised
