Bengaluru, Mar 4: The Karnataka High Court has issued a notice to the state government in connection with the denial of retirement benefits to a retired deputy commissioner of commercial taxes who had fought against the illegal iron ore lobby.
Justice G Narendra also directed the state to respond to the notice before March 9, stating the reasons for withholding the officer’s retirement benefits.
Advocate Ramananda, appearing for the retired officer Josephat Andrews, explained that the single-judge bench also warned the government of stringent action.
Petitioner Josephat Andrews said his retirement benefits amounting to Rs 25.88 lakh were being withheld since 2014.
In 2009, Andrews detected a huge scam involving Vijaya Leasing, a company associated with former minister Gali Janardhan Reddy. Immediately he wrote to his higher officials explaining to them how the department was owed Rs 1,400 crore in taxes by the company. Immediately after that, Andrews was transferred to Bengaluru.
The media exposed the scam in 2012. Thereafter, to harass the officer, Andrews was served notice for allegedly not conducting an inspection of M/s Vijaya Leasing, which was controlled by the family of then tourism minister Gali Janardhana Reddy, on July 11, 2012. He was discharged by a full departmental enquiry.
The petitioner was issued a second show cause notice on Jan 29, 2014 on the same charges. Before his retirement, he was docked two increments, denied promotional benefits and his pension was reduced without following due process.
He was served yet another notice with charges that he did not inspect goods vehicles, and an order was passed on April 30, 2019 reducing his pension by 5 per cent, an unprecedented punitive action.
This order was quashed by the Karnataka Administrative Tribunal (KAT), which also ordered payment of retirement benefits to Andrews within five months. However, the benefits were not released to him.
“Rule 214 of the Karnataka Civil Services Rules (KCSR) make it clear that no enquiry can be held four years after an officer’s retirement. Belying all statutory rules and precedents of the Supreme Court, Josephat Andrews’ retirement benefits were withheld for five years. Andrews therefore approached the High Court,” advocate Ramananda explained.
Josephat Andrews recalled to Deccan Chronicle that although mining activity was in full swing in 2008, the commercial tax department maintained that it had nothing to do with mining. “I travelled to Gujarat, Maharashtra and Bellary to investigate. I found tax evasion of thousands of crores. When I visited M/s the Vijaya Leasing facility – it was operating from an old oil mill premises–within 20 minutes I got calls from Ali, a person claiming to be the personal assistant of Gali Janardhan Reddy. He told me to get out of the premises as it belonged to his boss. Then calls came from minister Sreeramulu and MLA Nagendra.
Within minutes 200-300 rowdies gathered around the building and my superior asked me to come back. Instead of filing a police complaint and forming a special team to deal with the situation, the department transferred me to Bengaluru,” he explained.
Talking about the High Court directive, Josephat Andrews said, “I have suffered a lot. Instead of getting a reward for increasing revenues by Rs 2,000 crore, I was punished.”
A government official on condition of anonymity said that more number non Muslims might have converted to Islam during the same period in other institutions and independently.

U will get the answer either in the last moment or as Allah Wishes.
Trust ALLAH and be patience.
If U trust ALLAH, then U will never go to another creation of ALLAH.
Cos Your IMAAN should be that ALLAH will provide U and take U out of any situation with his knowledge....
RESPECT the Prophets, Auliyas and the pious.
But TRUST ALLAH. SURELY those who trust ALLAH will be SUCCESSFUL.
You never need to go to the creation for barakah or for the solution of your troubles.
Dear Monu,
If you wants to know the answer for your questions, read verse from surah an nisa, as follows;
4:56, 4:57, 4:58,4:59,4:60,4:61,4:62,4:63,4:64
Read all in context.
After reading all verses, you will understand the meaning of verse 4:64.
Dear Monu,
You hire me as your teacher, Because you need to know many things about Quran then only you will leave Darghah committee for sure.
You no need to pay me for that, it will be free of cost.
Dear Ali,
I guess you know more about quran and hadith
please can you tell me the means of quranic verse \ al-quran Surah an -nisa ,4:64\"
waiting for your reply"
Waseelah is what you do to get close to somebody. Waseelah also means a status or rank in front of somebody.
Dear Monu,
How to gain waseela in practicality?
Answer as follows:
Getting to know Allah is waseela, Learning the Quran is waseela, doing good deeds is waseela, by this way every good deeds and anything that get us closer to ALLAH(S W T) is waseela. Allah makes i compulsory to love Rasulallah ( S A W), follow him and obey him, for he is one of the highest waseela to get closer to ALLAH and please him.
May Allah SWT enable us to understand and comprehend the way beloved to him.
Dear Monu,
Quran - Chapter 5, Verse 35, Chapter 17, Verse 57
When you look at thes two verses, Allah( Subhana Huwa Ta'la) asks us to seek his waseela, meaning his ways to achieve his bounty, His rahmah, his guidance, his jannah. When you examine it in detail you realize that in order to seek waseela you have to get closer to Rasulullah(PBUH). To do that you get to obey Rasulullah( S A W) and follow him. In pakistan / Indian society and some of the sufi( or corrupted sufi groups) they take this concept to the extremes. They have their own evidence but they twist it.
These people start to believe that a pious person can heal their daughter and if they pray for so and so he can do such and such for them and if they go to the grave of so and so make duaa, their duaa will be accepted. Now without knowing we become a mushrik and instead of believing in ALLAH(S W T) and his oneness, we believe in that person.
Somebody might argue..... NO..!! We are just doing waseela.... This is what the kuffar of the Qureshi did. They believed that ALLAH( S W T) was the creator, he was the one who was the owner of the kaaba and the statues were but a waseela to reach Allah(S W T). These are actually the roots of Christianity; when the miracle that ALLAH(S W T) gave to Jesus the power to heal people, bring the dead back to life, it was a fitnah for the majority. Instead of taking it just a miracle, they elevated a human being to the level of the creator ALLAH S W T...
Similarly today, if we go to shaikh so and so, we say \he can protect us, he can heal our son, he can make my wife pregnant, he can protect me from shaytaan\". So and so peer can perform miracle.. I saw people coming with such and such desease and they left cured. He is the one he can do it\". All this language and all this belief can only belong to ALLAH (S W T). I hope you understand.
I am only giving you a glimpse. By this way, the prefix, \"Ya\" only belongs to none but Allah(S W T). You cannot call Rasulallah ( S A W) as \"ya Rasul Allah\"while making duaa or go to someone's grave and use them to pray for something. This is a bida and shirk"
dear sk
Dont get frustrated...i can understand your feelings..normally if people dont have answer to tell same thing is happening...just chill
now tell me what is waseela? ...its mentioned 25 times in quran...ask zakir naik whoever and give me the ans

dear true indian,
i agree with u...in some areas dargah management make good money..its totaly haram...even sunni scholars have objection about this
what iam saying is visiting grave yard is not haram but your intention should be clear..
Mone....pls read you comment # 22 properly and with open eyes.....you mentioned that asking forgiveness thru some 1 is not haram...... What is this NONSENSE mone...... Wake up .....do not follow these green Turbans / Pagdis.....
Dear Monu,
Allah already provided Quran as guide, no need to visit scholar to get the answer. Everything is clearly written in Quran about worship.
Rank Holders never visit tuition for doubts, their IQ is far better than Dull students. Try to understand Quran and Hadees. I hope it will resolve your doubts.
10 years before visiting Darghah was common for all Dakshinna Kannada muslim people. Later on translated version of Quran introduced. People started to realise their mistake and started to move towards the right path by leaving our forefathers customs like worshipping darghah calling everyone other than Allah.
I think moidin shaikh is very famous for mangalorean sunni. In my childhood days i used call moidin shaikh during the tough time.
Our local usthad wanted us to keep in darkness for their bread and butter.
Our teachers taught us to follow sunni, anafi , salafi. But only few scholars thought us to follow Islam, and there is no groupism in Islam. hats off to Great Zakir Naik, he is one of the scholar because always quotes from quran and hadees, never said his own rule.
Our Prophet Muhammed PBUH used to do work for his bread and butter, but our current Usthad they are lazy and fool people on the base of maulood or other unnecessary things to earn money.
If they are really the follower of Prophet, then they should go for work and should not depend on jamaath for salary and other expenses.
Believe in one God as Allah, and Prophet Muhammed PBUH as the last messenger of Allah.
Respect USTHAD but dont ask them for solution try to find answers in Quran and Hadees.
Allahu Akbar
Very well said True Indian.
Asking other than Allah is Haram.
You can pray others for Jannat, but asking with them is useless and no use.
Its just like recommending some one to give your public exam.
You will get the marks on the base of your performances. Either you will pass or fail, its all depending on your performances.
Same will apply to our life. Whatever we do good deeds we get the return from Allah.
Third person is not allowed in Allah's decision. He is well planner and decision maker.
@monu
I visited dargah many times. After studying quran. Found that it is absolutely wrong.
In dargah many used to do namaz for the dead ones. Bowing their head. And they ask how much money dua u want. I felt like iam a hindu. They
Why only 6000?
In european country conversion figure is much better than India.
I accept that, because In India people are very backward and it takes time for them to study their religion and to choose best of them as Islam.
Insha Allah one day 99 percent of Population will become muslim in India and other countries.
Dear sk
i never mentioned anywhere that we are seeking forgiveness from dead people...bro 1st read carefully the msg then reply accordingly...i told you about waseela?
do u know the meaning of waseela?
even iam telling to you please dont follow youtube to know about waseela...study urself and reply bro
@true indian
who brainwashed you by telling that people are going to any grave yard for worshipping the grave..you need to meet some good islamic scholer...please dont use your half knowledge by just watching the youtube videos by converted peo
Islam is a best religion read Quran and what is Islam study islam
Mone, .....You need dead persons to ask for forgiveness and NOT ALLAH....
Yes Prophet (PBUH ) asked us to send salams to the Ahalal Kaboor.....BUT did he tell us to ask for forgiveness from them.... WAKE UP.....
what do you mean by dead people
then why our prophet used to tell \ asslamu alikum ya ahalal khabur\" when he used to pass from grave yard
even worshipping grave is haram but asking forgiveness through some1 is not haram"
DEAR MONU, CAN U PROVIDE US THE VERSE FROM THE QURAAN TO SEEK WASAEELA???
Monu, you want waseela from the dead people OR living people ??????
I do not understand, what is the goal of this conversion centre.... Are they doing this to please ALLAH or to get publicity.........
Prophet ( PBUH ) said, if the right hand gives charity, the left hand should NOT know.....So it is difficult to understand, what kind of these molvis are ???? let them do their work quietly and get the reward from ALLAH.... By Publicity, they are spoiling the communal harmony of the society.....If they want to do REAL DAWA work, let them REFORM the so called Muslims ( Nam ke Waste ), instead of converting Non Muslims .... These N K W muslims do not pray properly and many indulge in goondagiri and rowdism... Once we good muslims, show good character, good work, good intentions, naturally the Non Muslims will be attracted towards ISLAM...... As it is often said by the westerners, ISLAM IS THE BEST RELIGION BUT MUSLIMS ARE THE WORST PEOPLE...
There is need to reform the shia muslim leader, who has put a bounty of 15 lakhs for the head of Dr Zakir Naik.... We should be ASHAMED of such Muslims
@monu
some people do chamatkaar. It is there. Iam not denying it. Some so called people know by seeing u. What is the problem. And after his death u make mazhaar and worship him.
Even u and i can study that course. Anybody can study
True indian
Do you know something about Waseela?...check in quran about it
We are worshipping only one god that is almighty allah...seeking waseela is not forbidden in quran.. Even your zakir naik before he told waseela is haram later when he targeted by media then started asking waseela from his followers to support him ( now its halal for him)
You guys are changing the hadees and quran as per your requirments..
still time is there try to change your self...in your mind only dargha dargha...other than dargha u dont have other examples i guess
@Monu moodbidri
Ur so called scholors done nothing. Only making money. By the collection from graveyard dargah.
In 5 times prayer every day. Every muslim have to say this.
Iyya kanao budu wa iyya kanasthaheem
I
Many more to come because of arnab go swami. He tried very hard by his barking news. But failed miserably this time. His lie channel has exposed by dr zakir naik
Now Naik followers dont give credit to your converting specialist Dr.Naik
\Islam is the fastest religion in the world and will overtake christianity by the end of century\" An article published in Daily Mirror- U.K"
People seeking the truth, find what they are looking for in Islam. The beauty of Islam is uncovered for them, behind the curtain of bias views, propaganda and what the media imposes. And as more people discover the truth Islam spreads despite what people are made to believe.
great steps towards ALLAH
Don't boost on getting others converted. Just go to youtube and type \Ex-muslim\" and you see how many are leaving from this fake religion. Islam is getting exposed..\"YOU CAN FOOL ALL PEOPLE SOME TIME AND SOME PEOPLE ALL THE TIME BUT CAN'T FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME\""
BURNOL BHAGYA FOR CHADDIS.....
NO REPORT SO FAR THAT MUSLIMS CONVERTED TO HINDU OR OTHER RELEGION.
ALHAMDULILLAH, ISLAM IS THE FASTEST GROWING RELEGION IN THE WORLD.
Surely , U will see More of Reverts in the near future - In shaa ALLAH (God willing)
Alhamdulillah... Prophet Muhammad pbuh said the truth. This will happen and We see today , all over the world People understand the reality of ISLAM and worship of ONE GOD ALLAH.
Despite many LIES & DECEPTION on ISLAM by Haters , who try to spread hatred thru media .. ISLAM is spreading far more than expected ALHAMDULLILLAH...(Thanks to God)
Comparatively it is less.....it should have been 6,000 every year......any way not bad.....
DEAR MUSLIM HATERS...
Time to think Why U fall to the hate msg spread by the media ... I request YOU to STUDY and PONDER and WHAT ISLAM tells. rather than Depending on Deceptive MEDIA for the knowledge on ISLAM and MUSLIM.
I Suggest
READ QURAN translation
ASK the CREATOR to guide U (He will open up the reality to U)
Talk to MUSLIMS
Visit Masjid Library for more knowledge... (No Muslim will object u to know about ISLAM)
Please TRY... Dont be FOOLED by the MEDIA, U may regret LATER in your LIFE , If you just depend only on MEDIA.
There are 2 major weakness with The Indian Muslims community.
1.Muslims Doesn't have Their owen National Media
2.Muslims Doesn't have Their own national Political Party
If these 2 weakness converted in to Strength then the Community will not suffer in the hands of Fascist Forces.
It will be more in future. Bush regime is lesson for Modi. Whenever they want to curb Muslims, more and more will convert 'sorry revert'.
In one angle Arnab did great job, millions of people googled Islam and Zakir Naik last couple weeks and earned knowledge which Arnab & Sangh wants to avoid.
