HC relief for top cop

The Gujarat High Court today quashed court proceedings against the IPS officer Kuldip Sharma and inspector D B Barvalia,saying the complaint was lodged with malafide intention and amounted to abuse of process of law.

The complainant in the case was Jitendra Rajgor,currently posted as a DySP in Kutch (West). In February 2010,Rajgor had filed a case against Sharma and Barvalia in a Gandhinagar local court,accusing them of unlawfully arresting and chargesheeting him on the charge that he was harassing a Mumbai businessman with fake warrants.

Subsequently,Barvalia had moved the High Court.
