Kailash Bhati vs State Of U.P. on 5 May, 2023

9. After hearing the rival contentions, this Court finds that the role of co-accused, Deepak, is different from that of the applicant. He is not a government employee but a private person whose wife is named accused in the FIR. The second argument of the learned Senior Counsel for the applicant is that applicant is a government servant and he signed the lease deed in dispute in discharge of his official duties which is legally misconceived and deserves to be turned down. The applicant is employee of Greater Noida, Industrial Development Authority. He is employed on the post of Manager (Estate). He is not a government servant but employee of a development authority which has been constituted under a statute. The employees of the statutory authority are not government or civil servant or public sector employees and are not governed by government rules and regulations. They are not entitled to the protection under Section 197 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, as ''public servant' as held by the Apex Court in the case of B.S.N.L. vs Pramod V. Sawant, in Criminal Appeal No. 503 of 2010.
