SRINAGAR, Nov 8: The Economic Offences Wing of the Crime Branch Kashmir today filed a charge sheet in a fraudulent appointment and salary drawal case.
In a statement issued here, the CBK said that the charge sheet was produced in case FIR No. 95/2022 under Sections 419, 420, 409, 468, and 471 read with 120-B of the Ranbir Penal Code (RPC) before the Court of Sub Judge, Chadoora.
The accused have been identified as Ghelam Mohi-ud-Din Gazi (Retired Headmaster), S/o Ghulam Mohammad Gazi, R/o Zaindar Mohalla, Habba Kadal, Srinagar; Mubeena Kawsar; and Ifra Nissar.
Detailing the case, the CBK said it originated from a communication received from the Directorate of School Education, Kashmir, highlighting irregularities in appointments and manipulation of service records under SRO-43.
Following this, a formal case was registered at the Police Station Economic Offences Wing (Crime Branch Kashmir).
Investigation, the CBK said, revealed that the original appointee, Ifra Nissar, had resigned from Government service.
“However, the then Drawing and Disbursing Officer (DDO) deliberately concealed her resignation and fraudulently substituted another individual in her place, continuing to draw salary against the said post.”
During the investigation, both documentary and oral evidence substantiated the allegations, establishing a criminal conspiracy and misappropriation of Government funds.
Accordingly, CBK said offences under the relevant provisions of the Ranbir Penal Code were proven, and a charge sheet has been filed before the court for judicial determination.
CBK stated that it is committed to ensuring transparency, accountability, and integrity within public institutions.
