Committee Formed To Look Into 1998 Batch Officer Lodha's Prosecution

A month after giving promotion to 1998-batch officer Amit Lodha to the rank of Additional Director General (ADG), the Bihar government has constituted a committee to look into the prospect of prosecution sanction against the officer in disproportionate assets case, said a senior officer familiar with the matter.

However, as the case lingered, Lodha moved the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) for delay in his promotion. The CAT ruled in Lodha's favour and later the government gave Lodha his promotion. The committee would also see if the CAT order could be challenged.

The prosecution sanction is required for filing chargesheet against the officer in the DA case and once the sanction would be granted, the process would move further, said the official.
