K.G. Butail Served Legal Notice for Alleged Insult and Rights Violation Against Woman

Palampur: IRT BUREAU

In a scathing development K.G. Butail, Chairman of the Palampur Rotary Eye Foundation, Maranda (Palampur) has been served a legal notice following directives from the National Commission for Women (NCW).

The notice accuses Mr. Butail of misusing his authority and issuing an official letter under the foundation’s seal that allegedly insulted and humiliated a woman, violating her human rights.

The allegations include the use of dictatorial and shameful gender biased behaviour and behavior unbecoming of a leader of a public-serving charitable institution.

The notice claims Mr. Butail’s actions caused mental harassment and were motivated by personal bias, raising serious concerns about the misuse of power and disregard for professional ethics.

The victim has directed Mr. Butail to respond within the time frame allowed by law, offering an opportunity to issue an unconditional apology and take remedial action.

Failure to comply will result in a civil suit being filed in the Civil Court of Palampur.

This development has sparked widespread outrage, with women’s rights advocates condemning the alleged conduct and calling for stronger measures to ensure accountability. Public institutions, they argue, must uphold values of respect and equality, especially toward women, in all their dealings.

The legal notice serves as a reminder that discriminatory and oppressive behavior by those in power will not go unchallenged, as the matter moves toward potential legal proceedings.

This development puts the spotlight on the need for greater accountability among leaders of public-serving institutions, especially when allegations of gender discrimination and misuse of authority arise.

As public outrage grows, all eyes are on Mr. Butail’s response to the notice, which many see as a critical test of institutional integrity and justice.

The incident has ignited widespread criticism, with women’s rights advocates condemning the behavior as a direct attack on gender equality and dignity. Activists argue that Mr. Butail’s actions tarnish the reputation of the foundation, which is meant to uphold the principles of service and respect for all members of society.
