After hearing Advocate Ashok Parihar appearing for the complainant, Special Judge Anti-Corruption observed, “from the perusal of the contents of the complaint, it appears that the complainant has leveled serious allegations regarding forgery and destruction of record against the respondents. Therefore, deserve to be verified and investigated”.
Accordingly, court directed that SSP, Vigilance Organization, Jammu shall after verification of the allegations made in the complaint, proceed in accordance with law.
In the complaint, it has been alleged that during complainant’s tenure as VC SKUAST-J, Sanjay Sharma, who at that time was working as PRO in the VC Office, approached him with the request for his promotion to the selection grade of pay scale and after going through the file the complainant found murky things about his first appointment made on manipulated academic records.
Accordingly, complainant told the then PRO Sanjay Sharma in clear terms, “If you will press for this promotion, you may loose your job as your appointment as PRO is itself made through wrong documents. Take back the file and send the Comptroller alongwith the file”.
The complainant further alleged that at the time of his departure Sanjay Sharma again came to him with the same file and request to approve the proposal for his promotion to the selection grade of pay scale. On the insistence of Sanjay Sharma, the complainant on September 4, 2008 wrote: “Approved provided it is covered within the rules”.
