The trio has been booked  for misuse of their official positions for extraneous considerations to give undue benefit to Priti Rani, daughter of  Bachan Dass of  Malla, Tehsil Karah Balli, District Jammu for appointing her as ReT Teacher in Government  High School Malla.
The case was registered on  the basis of an enquiry conducted by Vigilance Organization to probe into the allegations into the complaint against these officers  regarding misuse of their official positions.
During the course of verification, it was  found that these  officers of Education Department facilitated and appointed beneficiary Priti Rani as ReT Teacher in Government  High School Malla, which was meant for ALC candidate. However, the accused beneficiary Priti Rani, at the time of advertisement of post as well as the time of joining, was not possessing requisite ALC certificate.
