Bombay HC quashes the case against Goa varsity officials, slams complainant
by Vimal Kumar V. 02 Jul '18

02 Jul '18

The high court of Bombay at Goa has quashed the ‘entire criminal proceedings’ initiated against Goa University librarian Gopakumar V and the university registrar by advocate Sakharay Naik. The court also directed Naik to pay Rs 5,000 each to both the officials, stating in its judgment that the complainant, “despite being in a noble profession, had abused the process of the court to unnecessarily harass” the university officials. Naik had complained that there were irregularities in Gopakumar’s appointment. He also filed an FIR against him at Agasaim police station.
