PANJIM: The Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Ram Prabhudesai on Monday directed the Panjim Police to submit by January 17th next year its further investigation report in the cheating and misappropriation case that was registered in 2008 against the then Secretary (Urban Development) R P Pal on a complaint filed by Adv Aires Rodrigues.
When the matter came up for hearing, the Panjim Police sought time to investigate the case as the accused retired bureaucrat could not come for investigation as he was recovering from a severe COVID-19 infection, which was strongly refuted by Rodrigues.
The Panjim Police in 2015 while seeking to close the case had stated that the complaint against R P Pal and his wife Putul was true but claimed that there was no evidence against the duo.
