Lucknow:
Coming down hard on people filing frivolous petitions, the
Allahabad High Court slapped a penalty of Rs 50 lakh on a former
SP MLA who alleged that Rahul Gandhi had kept in captivity a girl
and her parents, which later turned out to be false.
The Lucknow Bench of the High Court also ordered a CBI probe
against the former legislator from Madhya Pradesh, Kishore Samrite,
who had moved a habeas corpus petition against the AICC general
secretary.
The order was passed by a Division Bench of Justices Umanath Singh
and Satish Chandra after the girl, Sukanya, who according to the
petitioner was held captive by Rahul, denied any such incident
when she was produced in court.
The court also ordered action against a website displaying news
items relating to Sukanya's alleged abduction.
Samrite had alleged that Sukanya and her parents were held captive
by Rahul and sought directions to the police for producing them in
court.
A similar petition was filed by Gajendra Pal Singh, who claimed to
be a relative of Sukanya, after which the court ordered the DGP to
produce the girl and her parents before it.
As per the court order issued on Friday last, Director General of
Police Karamveer Singh today produced the girl and her parents
before the court.
The girl told the court that her actual name is Kirti Singh and
that Balram Singh and Sushila are her parents and their
identification was done by in-charge of Amethi police station.
Kriti told the court that neither she nor her parents were under
illegal detention of any person nor has she any information
regarding the news item being displayed by the website.
On the basis of the deposition made by Kirti, the court imposed a
cost of Rs 50 lakh on the petitioner and taking suo moto
cognisance of an effort to defame a high profile personality,
ordered a CBI probe.
