Contempt notice to Old Goa PI

BY A GT REPORTER
PANJIM: The Bombay High Court at Goa issued notice to Old Goa Police Inspector Gurudas Gaude for not filing a chargesheet and instead closing the criminal case against the Health Minister Vishwajeet Rane.

The notice was issued in a contempt filed by Aires Rodrigues against the PI for not acting in a proper manner in the complaint of threat to kill filed by him against the minister.

During the hearing Adv Rodrigues pointed out that statement made by Public Prosecutor Winnie Coutinho before the High Court on September 23, last year that the chargesheet would be filed by the police against the health minister was false. He also added and that she was in regular contact with the minister. Vishwajeet Rane.

The social activist alleged that the Old Goa PI failed to file the chargesheet please Rane and this act of contempt was gross, contumacious and interferes with the due course of administration of justice.
