Kohima, May 25 (MExN): The Naga People’s Front (NPF) has stated today that “transfers and postings” of Judicial Magistrates are done or ordered by a High Court, not by a state Government.
“Under the circumstances, it is quite clear that the department or authority concerned has carried out the exercise in line with the approved normal procedure,” maintained the office of the NPF in a ‘press rejoinder’ from its press bureau.
The NPF has stated this in response to NPCC’s expression of “shock” that the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Peren, was transferred right after the Gauhati High Court, Kohima Bench, passed a judgment to transfer TR Zeliang’s education qualification case to Peren.
The NPF termed the NPCC’s “harping on negative chords” as “rhetoric and publicity stunt” to keep itself “visible and make its presence felt.”
