The Aurangabad bench of the Bombay high court (HC) recently directed the station house officer (SHO) of Vasmat Nagar police station in Hingoli district to buy law books pertaining to various crimes for the police station after he was pulled up for not responding to a query by the court in January 2021. The court had sought to know about the action taken by the police on a complaint by a teacher in 2013. The court had initially imposed a fine of ₹10,000 on the officer for dereliction of duty but withdrew the fine. The officer volunteered to contribute ₹2,500 to the court library as a goodwill gesture, following which the court directed him to buy law books for the police station.
A division bench of justice Ravindra Ghuge and justice BU Debadwar was hearing a petition filed by a teacher Gopinath Galande seeking directions against the management of a group of schools which had allegedly stopped his salary when he refused to pay a gratification amount for continuation of his services. Advocate KP Rodge told the court that Galande had filed two complaints, one in 2013 and the other in 2017.
