Mangalore: Code of conduct violation – former mayor Abdul Aziz sentenced


Daijiworld Media Network – Mangalore (SP)

Mangalore, Sep 9: A former mayor of the city, Abdul Aziz, was sentenced to two months of imprisonment and levied with a fine of Rs 10,000 relating to a case of violating election code of conduct. Aziz was convicted by the third court of junior magistrate (first class) here through a judgment delivered on Monday September 8.

Judge of the court, Undi Manjula Shivappa, also ordered that the convict will undergo an additional month of imprisonment in case he fails to pay up the fine as ordered.

Assistant election officer, Pravinchandra Karkera, had filed a complaint that Aziz was found to be canvassing for votes at Padavu labour colony in the city by placing election-related materials in his car on May 6, 2008, when election code of conduct was in operation because of assembly election. Aziz was found to have conducted electioneering without obtaining prior permission from the electoral officer as required.

The car was found to be having stock of pamphlets containing the photographs of the national president of Congress party and the then candidate from that party. Printed copies of the manifesto issued by Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee were also found from inside the car, Karkera had said.

On the basis of the said complaint, rural police sub-inspector (crime), Bharati, had investigated the case and filed charge sheet in the court. Assistant public prosecutor, Mohan Kumar, had presented the case and participated in the hearing on behalf of the petitioner.

    May be or might be you are right Dear Naushad Bhai…. But being a Mayor of a City he was not allowed to campaign for any Political Party…… That also campaigned for whom? Had he campaigned for any Good and Nobble person we would have given our sympathy!!!!

    Bilal, I think you do not understand English and this is why you are commenting in urdu. First of all read the articler carefully where it says canvessing for the congress party and the candidate so where does panga with Poojary comes in and secondly you should know who is yes sir and who is not. Mr. Masood was denied an MLC renomination when he refused to stay back to canvas for Mr. Poojary`s election but opted to go for Haj and this seat was given to Saleem. Kindly do not comment without knowing the facts and what about Mr. Ibrahim Kodijal he has to be with the all of them as he is the district president.

    I fully endorse this verdict just because Aziz Saab being a Mayor of a City was canvassing for CONGiss that also carrying pamphlets containing the photographs of the National President of Congress who is unfit even for any waitress job which was highly objectionable….. Whereas looking at the other election related violations done by all most all Party Cadres why only Aziz Saab why not others?

    Sir...
    Looks like they are going by alphabetical order. Abdul Aziz...
    is unlucky. Both name and surname
    starting with A! So he is 'Phust'
    Aaye 'Phust' Yaa! Means 'First'!

    I do not want to comment, as long as Congress does not support Aziz. That is my style....

    But as you connect every person to a party and blame the whole party for individual issues, I am expecting him to connect to his party and then comment.

    Do not say, he is not in congress now. because I have seen you blaming some people eve though they were not in BJP as of now...

    Hope you will maintain high standard and same rule. I am committed for it, as I repeat this is Aziz's issue nothing to do with Congress as along as it does not support him...

    Come on... take up the challenge...
