Bhubaneswar, July 3:

The fight between Indulata and her IAS husband Taradatt has hit an illogical ending with the Odisha State Commission for Women (SCW) closing the case related to “moral turpitude”.

The SCW has written to Indulata Das that the case has been closed as the matter could not be resolved despite every possible effort and there is no justification to continue with it.

“The complaint was probed in all the reasonable ways and sincere efforts were made to reconciliation. However, in spite of its best efforts, the Commission has found out that no amicable resolution of the issue could be reached between you and your husband. The Commission hereby closes your case by observing that there is no appropriateness in furthering the case,” the letter to Indulata Das read.

It may be noted the Indulata has moved the women’s commission in December 2014 and brought allegations of "moral turpitude" against his husband Taradatt.

“Why did the SCW give me the letter after Taradatt’s retirement? They could have communicated this prior to his retirement. The Commission is protecting him. This has become a maila (dirty) commission. I will approach the Human Rights Commission as the SCW has failed to deliver justice,” Indulata Das said in her reaction to the recent development.

Notably, the senior Odisha cadre IAS Taradatt attained superannuation on June 30.

Earlier in May this year, Indulata had petitioned Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik for delay in delivery of justice alleging the Commission of being favourable to senior bureaucrats.

She had alleged that the Commission was delaying the case so that her husband retires from service without facing any problem.

Indulata had dragged Taradatt to SCW over his alleged affair with a bureaucrat during his Central deputation between November 2009 and January 2012 which has been strictly denied by the latter.

SCW Chairperson Lopamudra Baxipatra had said that she had done everything that could be done in the particular case within the purview of law.
