SRINAGAR, July 6: Anti-Corruption Bureau presented chargesheet against officials of Education Department in engagement and regularization of an ineligible Rehbar-e-Taleem (ReT) teacher.
The chargesheet in case FIR No. 16/2017 P/S VOK (now ACB), under section 5(1)(c)(d) r/w 5(2) PC Act and 120-B, 201, 420, 467, 471/RPC, was produced against beneficiary Abdul Latief Khan of Khanpora Budgam and accused officials, namely GH Hassan Hakeem of Danger Pora Wadwan, Budgam, Abdul Aziz Malla of Dooru Sebdan Budgam, Gh Nabi Shah of Palpora Budgam, Ravindar Kumar Raina of Kathwar Budgam, Noor Mohammad of Bathakh Pora, Nowshara Srinagar and Gh Qadir Misger of Haji Bagh Buchpora, Soura Srinagar.
The case was registered by ACB on the allegations that the engagement and regularization of ineligible Rehbar-e-Taleem (ReT) teacher was made on the basis of fake and forged 10+2 marks certificates in Education Zone Hardapunzu, Budgam. The investigation found that the beneficiary Abdul Latif Khan was engaged as Rehbar-e-Taleem (ReT) in the year 2000 at Primary School Batapora in pursuance to conspiracy by then ZEO with other concerned officers/officials and accused beneficiary.
After a gap of three years of accused beneficiary’s engagement as ReT, his 10+2 Marks certificate was confirmed fake by J&K BOSE and hence he was not eligible for his initial engagement as ReT. In furtherance to the conspiracy, the then ZEO Hardapanzoo and CEO Budgam processed and recommended regularization of services of the accused beneficiary as General Line Teacher to DSEK where from the regularization order was issued, based on the recommendations of the then CEO.
All the accused, except two deceased persons, were presented before the Court of Special Judge Anti-Corruption Srinagar, for further legal action. Further trial of the case will proceed in due course.
