&lt;em&gt;The activists have accused the village sarpanch, who had filed the case, of framing them after they sought to expose his corruption.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Well-known rights activist Nikhil Dey and four others were convicted of trespass and simple hurt under sections 323 and 451 of the IPC by a Kishangarh court in Ajmer on Tuesday, June 13. The case, filed 19 years ago on May 16, 1998, pertains to a dispute with Pyarelal, the then sarpanch of Harmada, who had been accused by the activists of widespread corruption.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The judgment was immediately stayed to allow Dey and the others to file an appeal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reacting to the development, the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS) and noted activist Aruna Roy said they were &amp;ldquo;shocked and dismayed&amp;rdquo; at the judgment and termed the case as &amp;ldquo;yet another reminder of the backlash and attack that RTI activists consistently face when challenging entrenched centers of power.&amp;rdquo; They also claimed that it was the village head who had actually assaulted the activists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Sarpanch accused of faking contractual payments&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A statement issued by Roy and MKSS said that the decision of the court pertained to an incident which occurred when the RTI activists made a demand for information from Pyarelal in response to a large number of complaints of corruption in development works in Harmara panchayat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group said the allegations against the sarpanch, who was also a liquor contractor, pertained to payments related to toilets, Indira Awas Yojana houses and for labour for development works, that had not been made to the beneficiaries.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;The activists have accused the village sarpanch, who had filed the case, of framing them after they sought to expose his corruption.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Well-known rights activist Nikhil Dey and four others were convicted of trespass and simple hurt under sections 323 and 451 of the IPC by a Kishangarh court in Ajmer on Tuesday, June 13. The case, filed 19 years ago on May 16, 1998, pertains to a dispute with Pyarelal, the then sarpanch of Harmada, who had been accused by the activists of widespread corruption.&lt;br /&gt;

The judgment was immediately stayed to allow Dey and the others to file an appeal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reacting to the development, the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS) and noted activist Aruna Roy said they were &amp;ldquo;shocked and dismayed&amp;rdquo; at the judgment and termed the case as &amp;ldquo;yet another reminder of the backlash and attack that RTI activists consistently face when challenging entrenched centers of power.&amp;rdquo; They also claimed that it was the village head who had actually assaulted the activists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Sarpanch accused of faking contractual payments&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A statement issued by Roy and MKSS said that the decision of the court pertained to an incident which occurred when the RTI activists made a demand for information from Pyarelal in response to a large number of complaints of corruption in development works in Harmara panchayat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group said the allegations against the sarpanch, who was also a liquor contractor, pertained to payments related to toilets, Indira Awas Yojana houses and for labour for development works, that had not been made to the beneficiaries.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;The activists have accused the village sarpanch, who had filed the case, of framing them after they sought to expose his corruption.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Well-known rights activist Nikhil Dey and four others were convicted of trespass and simple hurt under sections 323 and 451 of the IPC by a Kishangarh court in Ajmer on Tuesday, June 13. The case, filed 19 years ago on May 16, 1998, pertains to a dispute with Pyarelal, the then sarpanch of Harmada, who had been accused by the activists of widespread corruption.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The judgment was immediately stayed to allow Dey and the others to file an appeal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reacting to the development, the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS) and noted activist Aruna Roy said they were &amp;ldquo;shocked and dismayed&amp;rdquo; at the judgment and termed the case as &amp;ldquo;yet another reminder of the backlash and attack that RTI activists consistently face when challenging entrenched centers of power.&amp;rdquo; They also claimed that it was the village head who had actually assaulted the activists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Sarpanch accused of faking contractual payments&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A statement issued by Roy and MKSS said that the decision of the court pertained to an incident which occurred when the RTI activists made a demand for information from Pyarelal in response to a large number of complaints of corruption in development works in Harmara panchayat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group said the allegations against the sarpanch, who was also a liquor contractor, pertained to payments related to toilets, Indira Awas Yojana houses and for labour for development works, that had not been made to the beneficiaries.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;The activists have accused the village sarpanch, who had filed the case, of framing them after they sought to expose his corruption.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Well-known rights activist Nikhil Dey and four others were convicted of trespass and simple hurt under sections 323 and 451 of the IPC by a Kishangarh court in Ajmer on Tuesday, June 13. The case, filed 19 years ago on May 16, 1998, pertains to a dispute with Pyarelal, the then sarpanch of Harmada, who had been accused by the activists of widespread corruption.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The judgment was immediately stayed to allow Dey and the others to file an appeal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reacting to the development, the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS) and noted activist Aruna Roy said they were &amp;ldquo;shocked and dismayed&amp;rdquo; at the judgment and termed the case as &amp;ldquo;yet another reminder of the backlash and attack that RTI activists consistently face when challenging entrenched centers of power.&amp;rdquo; They also claimed that it was the village head who had actually assaulted the activists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Sarpanch accused of faking contractual payments&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A statement issued by Roy and MKSS said that the decision of the court pertained to an incident which occurred when the RTI activists made a demand for information from Pyarelal in response to a large number of complaints of corruption in development works in Harmara panchayat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group said the allegations against the sarpanch, who was also a liquor contractor, pertained to payments related to toilets, Indira Awas Yojana houses and for labour for development works, that had not been made to the beneficiaries.&lt;br /&gt;

RTI at a Cost: Activist Nikhil Dey, Four Others Convicted of 'Assault' in 1998 Case -Gaurav Vivek Bhatnagar

-TheWire.in The activists have accused the village sarpanch, who had filed the case, of framing them after they sought to expose his corruption. New Delhi: Well-known rights activist Nikhil Dey and four others were convicted of trespass and simple hurt under sections 323 and 451 of the IPC by a Kishangarh court in Ajmer on Tuesday, June 13. The case, filed 19 years ago on May 16, 1998, pertains to a dispute with Pyarelal, the then sarpanch of Harmada, who had been accused by the activists of widespread corruption. The judgment was immediately stayed to allow Dey and the others to file an appeal. Reacting to the development, the Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan (MKSS) and noted activist Aruna Roy said they were “shocked and dismayed” at the judgment and termed the case as “yet another reminder of the backlash and attack that RTI activists consistently face when challenging entrenched centers of power.” They also claimed that it was the village head who had actually assaulted the activists. Sarpanch accused of faking contractual payments A statement issued by Roy and MKSS said that the decision of the court pertained to an incident which occurred when the RTI activists made a demand for information from Pyarelal in response to a large number of complaints of corruption in development works in Harmara panchayat. The group said the allegations against the sarpanch, who was also a liquor contractor, pertained to payments related to toilets, Indira Awas Yojana houses and for labour for development works, that had not been made to the beneficiaries.
