Yogi Adityanath govt suspends 5 UP revenue officers over delays in pending cases: Who are they
Kanchan Verma, Commissioner and Secretary of the Board of Revenue, said the review found that the pace of disposal by some officers was unsatisfactory. Delays and negligence were observed despite the government's emphasis on timely disposal.
The Uttar Pradesh government has suspended four tehsildars and a naib tehsildar for delays and alleged negligence in handling pending cases in revenue courts, as per Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's directives. The Board of Revenue initiated disciplinary proceedings against all five officers, reflecting a more stringent approach towards resolving revenue disputes promptly.
The action came after a high-level review of pending cases across the state, during which Chief Minister Adityanath directed officials to ensure timely disposal of cases within prescribed timelines. Deputy Commissioner Kanchan Verma of the Board revealed that some officers' performance was unsatisfactory, with delays and negligence observed despite the government's emphasis on timely resolution.
The suspended officers include Pawan Kumar Singh, Hareram Yadav, Anand Ojha, and Vivek Kumar Singh. The Board stated that disciplinary actions under service rules have begun, and accountability will be determined based on the inquiry findings. This suspension is not a one-off measure; the Board will continue monitoring revenue cases and reviewing officials' performance periodically.
The broader objective is to ensure timely and transparent resolution of revenue disputes, especially for farmers and ordinary citizens.
