Shiv is NOT misusing his power

I have been reading many posts which accuse Shiv of misusing power because the police said the Rajasthan Govt is filing the case aganist Jagya on behalf of Sanchi. Why are we assuming that Shiv is using his power to move the case forward ?

From what I understand little about the legal system, I have the below information from a lawyer

Charges can actually only be brought by the Govt not individuals in most legal systems. Its the State against the Individual Accused. It is based on Sanchi's complaint, but it is the State charging Jagya with a crime (incitement of suicide).

So, Shiv is not using his power in this case. Everything is going according to law.

When Sanchi was admitted with bleeding wound in the hospital and the doctor declared it is a suicide and not accident the case has become a medico legal case.

Oh he is misusing is power. He wanted vengeance well before Saanchi's suicide attempt. That fact that he is using Jagya to recuse his sister from charges is killing two birds with one stone. All the police report to him. He is intentionally, consciously and actively falsifying Information by omission of salient facts. When those facts come to light in court he will have egg on his face and it will come to light that he has used his position as collector to bring these charges forwards despite the flimsyness of the charges. If he didn't misuse tis power, he could have let it be a straightforward case against his sister for suicide. But that is not the case. If he was truly just and not misusing his power then he should have recused himself from the investigations in his official capacity as Collector because of his personal involvement in the case. This personal involvement clouds his objectivity. Another collector or next in charge could have stood in for the police to report to.

Actually, I just remembered in Saanchi's attempted rape case he told either the police who came to KB or Daddu that he didn't want to get too involved for propriety sake. He didn't want even an appearance of influence from him because the victims brother is the Collector.

well railroading a process and bringing it to fast track court can hardly be called misusing his power!! Misusing his power can only be an allegation if he did something out of turn. By pushing a legitimate case forward and expediting it, it can be said he is ' taking advantage of his position'... but misusing his power definitely not.

@tm..good post...it is true shiv is not using his power.

Well he is being an accomplice because his sister gave her statement in his presence. There were many gaps and omissions in her statement and that is tantamount to misleading the law. Shiv could have set the record straight in capacity of brother but he chose to be silent. As a result he is misusing is power as Collector, because the Collector in him is aware of the brother in him who was witness to the falsified or manipulated statement.

This law does not make sense at all. If Jagya is charged with incitement to suicide then Sanchi should be charged too for attempting suicide. Whether Shiv is abusing his power, I am not sure but he sure is acting like an idiot

sanchi is being charged too for attempting suicide.

Actually Iam not bothered about Shiv misusing his power; I am bothered about him not using his power in such a scenario (power to think)
