A video from the Jharkhand high court surfaced online showing a judge sternly reprimanding an IAS officer during a hearing. In the clip, which is now going viral on social media, the judge can be seen calling out the officer over alleged discrepancies and irregularities.
The IAS officer’s name and posting remain unverified, but the judge is heard warning that an FIR will be filed to initiate an investigation.
The incident reportedly took place when the judge was hearing a case related to land acquisition and compensation, but the IAS officer had objected to the compensation being offered to the petitioner.
“Who are you to object? Ye state ka property hai na? ( This is a property of the state government, right?) the judge can be heard saying in the video.
"If the state has recognised any person as a ryot, who are you to say that person is not a ryot. You are an alien to the dispute," the judge further added.
The judge also accused the officer of taking commissions while questioning his authority to object, saying he was preventing rightful awards from being given.
“Commission chahiye aapko? ( Do you want commission?) You want commission in each and every case? Under what authority you have objected? The award has been prepared. You are depriving the person of getting the award” the judge said.
“You have to take contempt or I will lodge an FIR against you” he said.
“Don’t raise a dispute if you are an outsider. In a property dispute, will you come in like a monkey to claim a share?” the judge can be heard saying.
Social media reacts
The video has drawn appreciation for how the judge handled the situation.
“Wow!! Simply awesome. So satisfying to watch this episode. The bureaucrat thought he was above law for a moment. Hats off to you, the judiciary, and judge,” a user commented.
“If all Judges take the right approach and ask all IAS officers, EC, and ED to apply law as per the Constitution, 50 percent cases will go away from court,” commented another.
“Judicial accountability in action! The judge's sharp questioning demonstrates that courts are taking corruption seriously. This direct approach could deter future misconduct if consistently applied across all levels of bureaucracy,” read another comment.
