  • 5 years ago
New Delhi: The Supreme Court today refused to entertain a PIL seeking reinstatement of suspended IAS officer Durga Sakhti Nagpal, who had cracked down on illegal sand mining in Uttar Pradesh. Questioning the locus of a lawyer, who filed a PIL, a bench headed by Justice H L Dattu dismissed the plea and said that it may entertain the petition if she (Nagpal) herself approaches the court. The bench further said that the officer can take care of herself and can also approach the other authorities including a court, against her suspension order.

The petition had sought judicial review of the suspension order and said, "Nagpal's victimisation is a new low in a long process of the subversion of bureaucracy".The UP government had on August 4 served a charge sheet on the officer, asking her to submit an explanation for her conduct.
