Excelsior Correspondent

SRINAGAR, Mar 15: High Court has refused to grant bail to Border Security Force (BSF) commandant for his alleged involvement in irregularities in written examination conducted by the JKSSB last year and directed the CBI to complete the investigation in the case and file a supplementary charge sheet before it.
The accused Karnail Singh working as doctor and holding the post of CMO/Commandant Medical in the BSF had approached the court seeking bail in FIR registered by the CBI for gross irregularities committed along with other accused persons in written examination of SI posts in J&K Police conducted by the board in March 2022.
“I do not find any merit in the instant bail application. The same is dismissed. However, the respondent Investigating Agency is directed to complete the further investigation in the case and file supplementary charge sheet, if any, expeditiously, preferably within a period of three months from today”, Justice Sanjay Dhar directed.
Justice Dhar while directing further investigation in the case and rejecting the bail application of accused-Singh said that even at the time when earlier bail application of the petitioner-Sing filed before this Court was considered and thereafter decided, the investigation of the case was complete.
Court while refusing to grant bail to the accused persons said a person, who indulges in facilitating leakage and sale of question papers relating to competitive examinations, plays with the career and future of thousands of young aspirants.
