The Govt of Jammu & Kashmir dismissed from service suspended sub-judge Rajesh Kumar Abrol on Friday, nearly 2 months after he was convicted & sentenced to ten years in jail for raping & cheating a woman petitioner who appeared in his Court in 2018 in connection with a matrimonial dispute.
The order said that the Lt Governor “is pleased to accord sanction to the dismissal” with effect from Oct 21, 2021, by invoking Article 311 of the Constitution. Besides condemning him to rigorous imprisonment, a fast track court in Jammu imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on Abrol on Oct 23.
According to the prosecution, the woman from Ramban in southern Kashmir met Abrol of Jammu when she was contesting a case against her then-husband & the judicial officer promised her legal help. In return, he asked her to work as a house help at Rs 5,000 a month in his home as he was living alone. He also promised to pay for her daughter’s education.
The mother agreed & took up the job, & Abrol got her marriage dissolved with her husband by getting a divorce deed notarised with one of his security guards as witness, the prosecution said.
But the woman’s parents wanted her back with them. “When Abrol got wind that she might leave, he filled her ‘maang’ with ‘babuti’ & told her that she is now his wife,” the prosecution said. By doing so, he secured her consent to have a physical relationship with her. Later, he called a priest & a few friends & “solemnised” the marriage in his house.
After a year, she came to know that Abrol has married another woman & had divorced his first wife. She then filed a case of rape & cheating.
