Srinagar, Aug 07 : The KAS officers Association has strongly condemned misbehavior with a lady officer Neelam Khajuria SDM Katra by a Person namely Ankush Sharma who is a lawyer by profession. The incident happened when the lady officer,
who is known for her integrity and professionalism, was performing her legitimate duties of removing illegal encroachments from the area.
During the course of the drive, the person namely Ankush Sharma S/O Bansi Lal R/O Kundrorian Katra misbehaved with the lady officer by using abusive language after which the lady officer lodged an FIR against the person.
The said person, who happens to be a lawyer by profession, however managed to garner support from the local bar Council and by putting pressure on authorities got a counter FIR lodged against the Lady Officer.
The Association feels that lodging of an FIR against a magistrate on duty and that too when an FIR already stands lodged in the case goes against the basic tenets of law.
While the KAS Association believes that such maltreatment with a lady magistrate on duty will not only set a bad precedence but will also demoralise the officers who are discharging their legitimate duties in toughest circumstances.
The Association also requests the higher authorities to lend their support to officers in such testing times.
