JAMMU, Apr 13: State Accountability Commission (SAC) has asked the Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir Projects Construction Corporation to find out whether the Works Minister in his capacity as ex-officio Chairman of the Corporation could pass an order posting General Manager to the higher position of Managing Director.
A full bench of the SAC comprising its Chairperson Justice (retd) B A Khan and Members Justice (retd) J P Singh and Justice (retd) Bashir A Kirmani entertained two complaints received in this regard from Association of Unemployed Engineers alleging that the Works Minister had no competence to pass such an order and that he was paving the way to confirm Waqar Mustafa Shontu as Managing Director indirectly allegedly from the backdoor.
Taking cognizance of the matter, the SAC has issued notice to the Secretary JKPCC to ascertain whether the Works Minister in his capacity as ex-officio Chairman of the Corporation could pass an order posting General Manager to the higher position of Managing Director.
