Prosecution Sanction, 2013
On 26 June 2013, the Madhya Pradesh state government granted sanction to prosecute Shekhawat and eight others for allegedly facilitating a wrongful settlement of a loan taken by IAS officer Ramesh Thete’s wife, Manda. The Lokayukta’s Special Police Establishment had earlier registered an FIR and sought prosecution approval.[6]
Allegations and Case Details
Manda Thete had obtained a loan of ₹25 lakh in 2001 which grew to ₹93 lakh due to accrued interest. Despite defaults and existing criminal proceedings, bank officials purportedly arranged a settlement for ₹53 lakh. Shekhawat was implicated for approving this settlement in contravention of rules.[7]
