custody for 48 hours and the District Collector, Ajmer after receiving this information u/R.13(2) of
the Rajasthan Civil Services (Classification, Control & Appeals) Rules, 1958 placed him under
deemed suspension vide order dt.31.10.2011 and since then he is under suspension.
(2.) The brief facts of the case are that the petitioner joined service as Patwari in the Patwar Circle Khandwa, Tehsil Niwai, District Tonk and later he was promoted on the post of Inspector Land Records. One Mukesh Pareek submitted his application for
opening mutation in his favour claiming himself to be an adopted son of late Hari Narain Pareek.
After receipt of the application, the Tehsildar instructed the petitioner to submit his report with
regard to adoption deed & pursuant to the letter of the Tehsildar dt.17.12.2008, the petitioner
enquired from the villagers of the Village Khandwa, Tehsil Niwai, District Tonk and it revealed to
him that wife of late Hari Narain Pareek Smt.Heera Devi is still alive and on the basis of the
information acquired by him, the petitioner prepared a report and submitted it to the Tehsildar and
on the basis of the said report and whatever the evidence submitted by Mukesh Pareek, order was
passed by the Tehsildar on 22.01.2009 for opening mutation in the name of Mukesh Pareek and
accordingly, as per the directions of Tehsildar mutation was opened in the name of Mukesh Pareek
on 06.02.2009 but at a later stage, the adoption deed furnished by Mukesh Pareek somewhere came
to be re-visited and the successor in the office came across with the information that Will which he
furnished and a reference has been made that the wife of testator is not alive but this fact was
incorrect & she was very much alive which was further supported by the report of Patwari that she
was alive even on the date when the testator signed the Will, as alleged.
(3.) At this point of time, Mukesh Pareek might have come across with the information that it is because of the petitioner that review of mutation is taking place and the Tehsildar called for the explanation
and on whatever facts were available with him and the fact that wife of
the recorded khatedar late Hari Narain Pareek - Smt.Heera Devi was still alive, the mutation which
was opened in the name of Mukesh Pareek was made ineffective by Naib Tehsildar, Niwai, District
Tonk vide order dt.25.11.2009 and at this stage the complainant Mukesh Pareek became revengeful
and lodged against the petitioner at Police Station Barooni, District Tonk for
offence u/Sec.166, 167, 420, 467 & 120B IPC on 10.01.2010. The petitioner also filed a complaint
against Mukesh Pareek to the SDO, Niwai, District Tonk on 05.04.2010 to avoid such pressure
