FIR for disproportionate Assets has been registered by ACB Should be public



 

The ACB after thorough investigation in the cases of Disproportionate Assets have filed FIR against accused, Athak seva sangh chairman and RTI Activists Anil Galgali wrote 6 month back to Chief Minister Prithiviraj Chavan to  make public the list of the names of the person against whom FIR for Disproportionate Assets have been registered he also suggested and insisted the list should be made available on website of ACB. 

Anil Galgali sought the information through RTI the details of Disproportionate Assets cases and FIR Registered, in the beginning the ACB ignored the RTI application and denied the information, After filing First Appeal Anil Galgali in the hearing put forward his arguments that where is the logic in denying and suppressing the information when FIR's have been registered and investigation have been done,

 
ACB few regions have provided the information and some Regions have not yet responded till date in giving the information. The efforts and consistent follow up with the ACB  by Anil Galgali to seek information virtually became a gold mine of information- those individuals who were investigated for amassing wealth Disproportionate to their known sources of income includes High Profile Ministers, Police officers, Govt officials of various Dept.  In Mumbai Division, from 1997 to 2011, 212 complaints were made out of which 157 are closed. Only 31 FIR lodged in which 1 person is found guilty. Then Social Welfare minister Baban Rao Gholp, Mahananda Dairy Executive Director Shivaji Rao Talekar, MPSC Chairman Dr Shashikant Karnik, police officer Daya Nayak, Cooper Postmaterm central medical officer Dr Vasant Vanmore, Govt press director P S More are some big name who are accused in Disproportionate Assets.  
ACB Mumbai has also conducted Gopaniya inquiry in which 508 cases are closed out of 557.

In Thane region from 2004 to 2011 only 9 cases are registered in Disproportionate Assets. KDMC Assitant Director sunil joshi 's case is famous In Nagpur region from 2009 to 2011, till 77 complaint received in which 5 cases were registered. Only 14 out of 123 in Yavatmaal region, 9 out of 88 in Amaravati region,5 out of 18 in Buldhana are registered. 22 in Nashik, 2 in Akola and 6 in Vashim are register by ACB.  


Total 524 complaints received in which 97 cases are registered by ACB from 1997 to 2011. It is quite Surprising that only 3 accused are convicted.Anil Galgali wrote to Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, Chief Secretary, Additional Chief Secretary of Home Dept and Director of General of ACB on 1 Oct 2012 and simply demanded that all registered Disproportionate Assets cases are a part of Govt Record so it should be made public by publishing on ACB official Website Under Section 4(1) of RTI Act 2005 and also Maharastra Record Act 2005.  Till date Mr Clean CM has not taken any step or shown interest nor gave any Reply to Galgali  " The Govt always indirectly supports corrupt Babus and leaders. Being shamed publicly could be a deterrent to gathering such ill- gotten wealth," says Galgali. 



# No Individual efforts to  convict corrupt babus and leaders

When Anill Galgali ask to ACB that what is ur criteria to lodge FIR or  registered case in  Disproportionate Assets. ACB claim that those individuals who were investigated for amassing wealth Disproportionate to their known sources of income is should be more than 10%. Sometimes ACB officials under political pressure or other reason success to close the case or the name of investigation whole process delay, Blame Galgali. Last 17 years only 3 are actual convicted in  
Disproportionate Assets is a best example indicated that ACB officials not
took individual efforts.
