Court adjourns order on corruption charges against Golay


GANGTOK, 20 Nov: The Special Court, Prevention of Corruption Act, East District at Gangtok, has, for the second time, adjourned the order on corruption charges against Upper Burtuk MLA, PS Tamang [Golay]. This pertains to the corruption charges framed against the MLA by the Vigilance Directorate and the order could go for or against the MLA.
In the event that it goes in his favour he will be acquitted of the charges framed by the Vigilance police; on the other hand if it goes against him and the court considers the charges to be sustainable, then the trial phase on the Vigilance case will begin.
At the East District courts, the order, which was scheduled to be pronounced today, was postponed for 15 days on the submission of Mr. Tamang’s advocate that the latter was unwell and so could not be present in the court. Initially, the date set was for 05 November and then for today.
It was on 31 October that the Special Court, PC Act, had conducted a comprehensive hearing on the ‘consideration of charges’ as leveled against the dissident SDF MLA pertaining to allegations of corruption when he was Minister for Animal Husbandry Department.
