Sameer Wankhede's Promotion Case: Delhi HC Imposes ₹20,000 Costs on Centre for Concealing Facts
The Delhi High Court fined the Centre Rs 20,000 for hiding facts about stayed departmental proceedings against IRS officer Sameer Wankhede in a promotion dispute.
- On Friday, the Delhi High Court dismissed the Centre's review petition on the August 28 order and imposed Rs 20,000 costs on the Union government in the Sameer Dnyandev Wankhede promotion case.
- The Centre's petition concealed that the Central Administrative Tribunal had stayed departmental proceedings initiated on August 18, which the Delhi High Court Bench deemed an unacceptable omission.
- Sameer Dnyandev Wankhede, a 2008-batch Indian Revenue Service officer, gained attention after the Aryan Khan case and faces a memo of charge plus CBI and ED probes registered in 2023.
- The Bench warned that the state petitioner must disclose all facts truthfully before filing writs, while Advocate T Singhdev, counsel for Sameer Dnyandev Wankhede, opposed the Centre's plea as harassment.
- The dispute intensified after the Centre delayed implementing the CAT's April 17 order and challenged it only after Wankhede initiated contempt proceedings, as confirmed by the August 29 Delhi HC ruling.
