A video of the Jharkhand High Court appeared online, in which a judge was shown reprimanding an IAS officer during a hearing. In the clip, which is now going viral on social media, the judge can be called out to the officer on alleged discrepancies and irregularities.The name and posting of the IAS officer remains rejected, but the judge is warned that an FIR will be filed to initiate the investigation.The incident happened reportedly when the judge was hearing a case related to land acquisition and compensation, but the IAS officer objected to the compensation being presented to the petitioner.“Who are you?This is a property of the state government, isn’t it?) The judge can be heard saying in the video.The judge said, “If the state has recognized any person as a rest, then you say that the person is not a Ryot. You are a foreigner for the controversy,” the judge further said.The judge also questioned the officer of taking the commission, questioning his right to object to the officer, saying that he was preventing the right awards from being given the right awards.“Whether commissioned? (“Do you want commission?) Do you want commission in every case? Under what right has you objected? The award has been prepared. You are depriving the person to receive the prize. ”The judge said.“You have to take contempt or I will dig a cedar against you” he said. “Do not dispute if you are an outsider. In a property dispute, will you come to claim a share like a monkey?” The judge can be heard saying this.
Social media reacts
The video has appreciated how the judge handled the situation.“Wow !! Just very good. Satisfactory to see this episode. The bureaucrat thought he was above the law for a moment. One user commented, “hates the judiciary, and the judge.“If all judges take the correct approach and all IAS officers, EC, and ED ask the ED to implement the law according to the Constitution, 50 percent of the cases would be away from the court,” another commented.“Judicial Accountability in Action! A sharp inquiries by the judge show that the courts are taking corruption seriously. This direct approach can prevent future malpractices if continuously applied to all levels of bureaucracy,” read another comment.
