Gujarat High Court has rejected a petition filed by IPS officer Rahul Sharma against the state government. Mr Sharma, through his petition, sought the details of the grounds on which he has been served a show cause notice by the Home Department of the state. Hearing the case, Justice Abhilasha Kumari said that the court does not find it appropriate to interfere when an alternative statutory provision for appeal is available to the petitioner. Our Correspondent reports that Mr. Sharma, a DIG rank officer, was served the show cause notice asking him to explain why he should not be charge-sheeted for giving CDs of phone call records to the investigating agencies, including the Nanavati Commission and the Special Investigation Team. Meanwhile, Gujarat government has denied the reports that Mr Sharma has been charge-sheeted. State Health Minister Jaynarayan Vyas said that false propaganda is being spread that the state government is taking punitive action against him.
