KISHTWAR, Aug 31: Police has finally registered FIR against the then Minister of State for Home and sitting MLA from Kishtwar, Sajjad Ahmed Kichloo for slapping the then Chief Executive Officer, Kishtwar Development Authority, Riaz Ahmed Choudhary.
The registration of FIR had become imperative as the Principal District and Sessions Judge Kishtwar on August 26, 2013 dismissed the revision petition filed against the order of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ajay Gupta, who had directed the Kishtwar Police to register FIR against Sajjad Ahmed Kichloo.
The FIR No.161/2013 has been registered under Sections 186, 341, 323 and 506 RPC.
It may be recalled that CJM Kishtwar on the complaint filed by Riaz Ahmed Choudhary had issued directions to Station House Officer Kishtwar to investigate the matter in terms of 156(3) CrPC and submit the report on or before May 14, 2013. The Kishtwar Police, in its report submitted within four days of the CJM’s directive, gave clean chit to Kichloo.
After going through the report and arguments of the counsel of the complainant Advocate Zulker Nain Sheikh, Chief Judicial Magistrate, while taking serious note of the casual approach adopted by the police, passed detailed order directing SHO Police Station Kishtwar to register the FIR against Sajjad Ahmad Kichloo.
The Station House Officer Police Station Kishtwar inspite of complying the order in letter and spirit filed review petition before District and Sessions Judge Kishtwar, which was dismissed on August 26, 2013.
The then CEO Kishtwar Development Authority, in his complaint, had submitted that on April 18, 2013 the then MoS Home slapped him twice in full public view at TRC on the ground that he was little bit late in calling on the Minister.
