Ibrahimi, the condemned vs one commended.

This is about a bygone divisional commissioner but a budding entrepreneur in the kind of politics that likes of Kejriwal weave.
Besides sharing the post, let me share a trivial experience about Ibrahimi as divisional commissioner of bhagalpur.
Ibrahimi as a divisional commissioner had a brief encounter with a lawyer who argued a house control revision in his court.
The present GP Gopal Bhushan Prasad stood in opposition, as the opposite party was a government department , tenant under the revision petitioner.
After brief hearing, ibrahimi passed a cryptic order, "heard, dismissed".
The lawyer took the matter to High Court and argued that the divisional commissioner had violated fundamental judicial norms, by his rejection without assigning reason.
The argument so much impressed the bench presided by Justice Gerg that he not only set aside Ibrahimi's order, but also wrote in strong terms the fundamental shortcoming on the part of the divisional commissioner, imparting some basic lessons about writing judicial orders, as if a novice was there at the receiving end. Justice Gerg expressed his pain that struck him on seeing such an order passed by no less an officer than a divisional commissioner. The high court gave direction to circulate the order to all divisional commissioners for enlightenment.
Mukutdhariji being so close to Ibrahimi, may compliment him for such a testimonial which any high official could rarely dream of.
And that quality of his, makes him all the more eligible for even a better place in Arvind Kejriwal's party.
For kind information, the lawyer under reference is a friend of yours, that is me.
