Spot Discussions.
Before starting the meeting, President Cantonment Board discussed about the Spot Resolution
No.7 adopted in the Board Meeting held on 20.2.2015. Col S Pandey, the Adm Comdt, Station Cell
HQ 101 Area, brought to the attention of the President Cantonment Board, the contents of his letter
No 5471/1/Q/Cantt Bd dated 01 Mar 2015, in which he had stated that his objections on the proposal
to discontinue the services of CBLA, Mr SP Mahanta had not been recorded in the minutes of the
previous board meeting and he had requested that discussion on the same is required to be carried out.
The President Cantonment Board agreed to the same and also informed the members that he was also
in receipt of an application from the CBLA to present his point of view before the board. The President
Cantonment Board informed the board even the judiciary gives a condemned man, the right to express
his point of view and as such, keeping in mind the principle of natural justice, the same must be
allowed . Accordingly Mr SP Mahanta, CBLA was invited to the meeting to present his point of view
before the board.
Col S Pandey brought out that the allegation levelled against Mr SP Mahanta, that he had been
dismissed from the post of the Additional Advocate General (AAG) by the Meghalaya Govt, was
incorrect. He stated that the truth was that he had resigned voluntarily. Moreover, only an FIR had
been lodged against Mr SP Mahanta and the charges leveled against him were yet to be proved. He
fut1her stated that the law provides that an individual is innocent until proved guilty and as such the
decision taken by the board to discontinue the services of Mr SP Mahanta and appoint a fresh CBLA
needs to be reconsidered.
Subsequently Mr SP Mahanta, CBLA accompanied by his associate Mr Anil Agarwal arrived
and the CBLA was invited to present his point to view. The CBLA placed before the board, copies of
Govt of Meghalaya letter No LJ (A)/21/71/359 dated 01 Apr 2011, which conveyed appreciation by
Govt ofMeghalaya for the services rendered by him . It also confirmed that he had voluntarily resigned
from the post of Additional Advocate General (AAG) and had not been dismissed by the Govt of
Meghalaya, as had been incorrectly alleged. Mr SP Mahanta further clarified that again in May 2013 ,
he had resigned voluntarily from the post of Additional Advocate General (AAG) to the Govt of
Meghalaya (which had been accepted) and he had never been dismissed.

Mr SP Mahanta, CBLA furth er informed the board that the charges/co mplaint/FIR lodged
against him were baseless and had not been proved in the court of law. He had infact lodged a
defamation suit claiming compensation of Rs 12 Crore from the individual and from the newspaper
concerned, in which the said news had been published. The Pres ident Cantonment Board then as ked
Smt Neelam Gurung, the Ward member who had moved the motion seekin g the removal of CBLA, as
to whether she had anything to state on the subj ect or contest the statements made by Mr SP Mahanta.
Smt Neelam Gurung had nothing to say and was unable to substantiate the all egation that had been
made by her. She also apologized to the President Cantonment Board and to all members of the board
for having misled to the board. Mrs Neelam Gurung also tendered her unconditional apology to Mr SP
Mahanta. Col P Beniwal stated that action shou ld be taken against Smt Neelam Gurung for having
misled the board and she shou ld be warned/censured for her indiscretion. The Commandant Military
Hosp ital and SEMO agreed with the same as Mr SP Mahanta' s reputation had been unduly affected
and the complete Cantonment Board was led to make an incorrect decision due to fa lse and
uncorroborated inputs presented by one member of the board.
The President Cantonment Board asked Sh SP Mahanta to accept the apo logy tendered by Smt
Neelam Gurun g, for moving an agenda point (based on factually incorrect inputs) pertaining to
removal of Sh SP Mahanta, CBLA from the post of Additional Advocate General (AAG) by the Govt
of Meghalaya, on the matter of forgery of land documents and on the issue of charge sheet by the
Meghalaya Police authority on the ground of cheating, land grabbing and forgery (none of which could
be substantiated). Smt Neelam Gurung was also given the opportunity to produce the documents in
support of the input given by her. She tendered her unconditional apology and expressed that since she
was not aware of this discussion, she had no documents to produce. However she was given the
opportunity to produce the necessary documents by 20.4.201 5 to President Cantonment Board.
On being asked to present the progress of the cases pertaining to the Shillong Cantt Board,
which had been handled by him, the CBLA presented the same to the board and placed on record the
required details. He confirmed that out of total No of 201 cases , 139 cases had been disposed off
and 40 were at an advanced stage of being finalized. Out of there 139 cases which had been disposed
off, 121 had been decided in favour of the Cantt Board. Mr SP Mahanta further clarified that when
he had been assigned to take over the cases and represent the Cantonment Board, there were no proper
records pertaining to any case. He informed the board that he and his colleague Mr Anil Agarwal, had
taken up the matter and had painstakingly built up the records over a period of time.
The Chief Executive Officer informed the Board that Sh SP Mahanta vide his letter dated
23.2.2015 had earlier submitted his resignation from the post of CBLA, however the President
Cantonment Board stated that in light of the sterling work done by the CBLA and keeping in mind his
unblemished credentials, the same had not been accepted and the same was unanimously approved by
the board. Though the engagement of lawyer as CBLA is at the discretion of the Board and there is no
specified tenure for CBLA, yet the President Cantonment Board informed all members that, there
should be sufficiently sound grounds, which could be substantiated, to merit removal of the CBLA. In
the present content, as there were no grounds to merit such a step to be taken, hence the Cantonment
Board had unanimously decided to continue to employ the services of Sh SP Mahanta as the CBLA
pending the decision of the Board to empanel lawyers as put up in Agenda No.9
The President Cantonment Board then summed up the extensive deliberations that had taken
place and asked all members of the board whether any one differed with the views put across by the
Col P Beniwal and the SEMO and as to whether anyone could refute the facts that had been stated by
the CBLA. All members unanimou sly supported the points put across by Col P Beniwal and the
SEMO and agreed with the same. They were also unable to refute the points stated by the CBLA. Col
S Pandey and GE Shillong Zone said that the spot resolution No . 7, passed in the previous board
meeting needs to be amended in so far as the point regardin g removal of Mr SP Mahanta as the CBLA
is~c~rned.

grac ious enough and accept the apo logy tendered by Smt Neelam Gurung.

Cantonment Board is appreciative of the excellent work done by the CBLA in exped iting the speedy
resolution of various court cases of the Cantonment Board Shillong. President Cantonment Board on
