The Allahabad High Court today issued contempt notice to the Principal Secretary (Home) of Uttar Pradesh, Debashish Panda, for allegedly not complying with the directions of the court to provide documents to suspended IPS officer Amitabh Thakur about departmental inquiry against the latter.
Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya gave this order on a contempt petition filed by Thakur alleging non-compliance of an earlier order of the court.
Thakur said that the court had directed the state government on January 13 this year to provide all departmental inquiry-related documents to him within four weeks but instead of providing them, the state government filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) before the Supreme Court which was dismissed on March 14.
After this, he filed this contempt petition in which the court passed today's order.
