Uttarakhand high court
DEHRADUN: Prashant Joshi rode into Mussoorie in style on Monday. An Audi Q7, jet black, with leather seats. And a board that announced authority, ‘District Judge’. But the two words on an official nameplate have brought the man down.
Dehradun district judge Joshi was on his way to a rather routine two-day camp court, where small offences are disposed of quickly in semi-formal settings. It was official business. He was supposed to take his official car. Instead, he appears to have “got” one from a Rajpur-based property dealer, Kewal Krishan Soin, who has been buried in criminal charges cheating, forgery, criminal conspiracy.
