Former officials, the former petition of the MLA rejected indefinitely at the government's residence

The Supreme Court has given a large and strict decision on the unauthorized occupation of government housing. The court made clear that any person, no matter how large the officer, could not occupy the government house indefinitely. The court of the court came at a time when the petition of a former MLA of Bihar was rejected at the trial of a case. In fact, the matter is related to a former MLA, who, despite resigning from MLA’s post, owned the government bungalow for two years. As a result, the state government imposed a penalty of Rs 21 Lakh on them. The former MLA disputed the fine in the Supreme Court. But the court refused to accept his petition as “without justification” and rejected him. During the hearing, the Supreme Court made strict remarks and said: “No matter how influential he is, he can’t think he can use public property individually indefinitely.” The court also reiterated that government houses can only be used only employed. This decision came at a time when the process of evacuating his official CJI home from the former Chandrachud Chief Justice of India Dy Chandrachud was also started. If we look at this episode, then it is a great sign of the Supreme Court that a difficult stand will be taken against the abuse of government resources. This decision is also a difficult message for those who have a mindset to take advantage of government facilities, even after withdrawing from the post. The court also said that if such a trend continues, it will not only waste resources, but it will also violate the money and rights of the public. Experts believe that this Supreme Court decision will strengthen the principles of administrative discipline and accountability. Further in other countries, the way of actions on such matters can be paved, where former ministers, MLAs or officials sit on the government bungalow by holding the rules. After this decision, it is seen as a strong step to ensure the rules and liability of the rules regarding government houses. Share this story -tags
