While submitting nomination papers, Shri Moloy Ghatak, TMC candidate from 40-Asansol Parliamentary Constituency, had solemnly affirmed to the effect that he was not accused of any offence punishable with imprisonment for two years or more in any pending case. But the fact of the matter is that a Criminal Case bearing No. 164/08 dated 12-12-2008 under 143/341/342/323/325/353/427/506-IPC was pending against him with Andal Police Station in Burdwan district in West Bengal. It is also reported that said case was initiated against him on the basis of an F.I.R lodged against him on 12-12-2008 by the Block Development Officer, Andal consequent upon serious assault of government officials, vandalism and indiscriminate destruction of government properties at his/her Office, Andal by an unruly mob under the leadership of Shri Ghatak.
The Case No. 164/08 dated 12-12-2008 accused of offences punishable with imprisonment for two years or more initiated against him on the basis of an FIR lodged by the Block Development Officer, Andal.
Shri Ghatak had suppressed the above fact by mentioning “Not Applicable” in the appropriate place of the relevant columns of the affidavit in gross violation of the Model Code of Conduct set by Election Commission of India as well as relevant provisions of the Representation of People Act, 1951 and also the Indian Penal Code.
Again and again the matter has been brought to the notice of the Chief Election Commissioner, New Delhi, the Chief Electoral Officer, Kolkata, the District Election Officer, Burdwan and the Returning Officer, Asansol by the C.P.I. (M), Damodar-Ajoy Zonal Committee, Burdwan but no action has yet been taken by any of them.
Is the Election Commission is functioning in a prejudicial manner in favour of Congress & Trinamool Congress
