Does the charge on DurgaShaktiNagpal stands moral or legal grounds ?

Does the charge on DurgaShaktiNagpal stands moral or legal grounds ?
The UttarPradesh government on Sunday issued the charge sheet against suspended GautamBudhNagar sub-divisional magistrate DurgaShaktiNagpal, that said,  "Nagpal did not follow due process of law while getting the wall of a religious place demolished at Qadalpura village in the district on July 27.The state government has further pointed out that her act to demolish the wall could have led to breach of peace, especially in the backdrop of an alert to all district authorities to maintain communal harmony in view of Ramzan and the movement of Kanwarias".

A probationary IAS officer, Nagpal was suspended on Saturday for ordering the demolition of a wall around a masjid in Kadalpur village of Greater Noida. The wall was on gram sabha land and there is a Supreme Court order not to allow any unauthorised religious structure on public land. 

But  the local police in GautumBudhNagar on Monday deflated the CM's contention by stating that there was no communal flare-up in the area.Adding credibility to the police claims is the fact that the government had not received any field report regarding communal tension in GBNagar on Saturday. Sources in the state home department said such serious action is initiated against an officer only on the basis of a field report which outlines the need for urgency in such actions.

The government claimed Nagpal was suspended for demolishing an under-construction boundary wall of a mosque in Qadalpura village under Rabupura police circle on Saturday afternoon. Station Officer of Rabupura police station, senior sub inspector Ajay Kumar, said that all was well in the area. Admitted, Yes the officer Durga Shakti Nagpal had won the anger of illegal sand miner mafias.

The question is whether DurgaNagpal mishandled the situation on Saturday. The villagers in Qadalpura say she came without an order to bring down the wall of the mosque and ever since the construction began in the last two months, no notice was served.But when shown the illegality of the construction on Govt. land and standing Supreme Court order banning such construction the villagers them selves demolished the wall, without any resentment. The present drama the bureaucracy of UP counters as political high handedness. 

Sources at Rabupura police station said that no communal tension in the area and the demolition of the wall in question was so quiet an affair that the local police decided not even to mention it in the general diary of the police station — till Sunday afternoon at least.

SSI Ajay Kumar further added,"There was no tension at all. You can verify it from media persons who were present here in GB Nagar. I have reasons to believe that not one of them was even aware of the demolition till Sunday night," . Asked if there had been police deployment at the demolition site and if any criminal case had been lodged against mischief-mongers trying to fuel communal passions, the officer replied, and blasted  why to lodge a case when nothing of this sort happened.

Where Akilesh's character stands in his past actions ? : Many doubts are cast on the constitution of the present CM Akhilesh's bureaucratic setup, as the state's principal secretary Rajiv Kumar, who is  holding currently  the appointment, personnel and vigilance departments, governs a special position, in spite of the fact that his name cropped up in Noida plot allotment scandal, and he was slapped a penalty of Rs 1 lakh and 3-years in jail by the court (trial pending in higher court), so is the case of tainted IAS officer Sanjeev Saran, the former CEO. Noida, having the allegations of irregularities and corruption in land allotments in Noida since 2001. In spite of pending graft charges, CM. Akhilesh Yadav's government reinstated him  in April 2012 to the Same Posts, but on Allahabad High Court order, this SP government transferred him as the commissioner of Lucknow division in May 2013.
