AGARTALA, Oct 28 (TIWN): After the High Court of Tripura on Oct 5 acquitted former state Law Secretary Datamohan Jamatia from charges of criminal contempt, the CPI-M govt is trying at its best level to bring back Datamohon as the law secretary of Tripura, who was banished from his post after various allegations raised against him, including slamming the High Court Judicial system. In a division Bench of High Court comprising of Chief Justice T. Vaiphei and Justice SC Das, Datamohon was removed from all the accusations. Since then, Tripura govt is trying to bring back Datamohon as the law secretary. Sources said that as the law secretary of Tripura Datamohon maintained the case of 10,323 teachers excellently but now the case is under trouble at Supreme Court. However, now question remains why Manik Sarkar always chooses the controversial figures for leading his Departments? Either it’s Ayyangar or DGP K Nagraj, S K Panda or Bimal Chakraborty----- all controversial figures are in top position in Tripura’s various depts. As mass resentment are against Datamohon still prevails, then is it necessary to bring him back to that position. Apart from 10,323 case, Datamohon also involved in various other issues including the promotion of SC/ ST employees.

Datamohan Jamatia was also accused of criminal contempt in Case No. 1/2015 and the complaint was filed against the law secretary on November 24, 2015. The main issue of the case was the  reservation policy on promotion and other issues of the state government employees.

TIWN raised question in May month, 2015-----“Is Govt of Tripura (GoT) feeling hopeless in Supreme Court about legal fight of challenging HC order of terminating 10323 teachers issue?”

 Returning back to the state of official team without further actions raising this big question. An official team headed by law secretary Datamohon Jamatia went to New Delhi on 21st May to file leave petition in Supreme Court (SC). The team comprised Advocate General Bijan Ch Das, Principal Secretary of School Education K Rajeswar Rao and Director of School Education Pradip Chakraborty. Official delegation had to stay in Delhi since last seven days.

Thus altogether SC / ST promotion, 10,323 case, slamming HC------- 3 charges have been imposed against Data Mohon Jamatia, who is brining back as the law secretary of Tripura.

May be after Tripura govt started to lose all the cases at Supreme Court, now Govt is trying to bring back CPI-M’s most trustworthy official so that violation of policies can be safely done or the past-misdeeds can be managed in coming times. Sources said that Govt is afraid of its various corruptions, misdeeds done in last decade. Thus to overcome all these state trying to use Datamohon as their mastermind of all the games, TIWN was reported from source.

10,323 issue is for namesake, but the management of various violations done in last CPI-M era, is the chief reason & motive of Govt behind brining Datamohon back as the law secretary, TIWN source further informed.
