SRINAGAR, Aug 28: High Court has sought explanation from Chairman Board of School Education (BOSE) Hardesh Kumar for his slackness in dealing with the report of enquiry conducted into irregularities in ETT colleges, asking the Chairman as to what is the procedure required to be followed for processing such enquiries.
A Division Bench of the HC comprising Chief Justice M M Kumar and Justice Mohammad Yaqoob Mir observed “whether the report can be permitted to gather dust on the shelf of the department or it is completely shelved.”
After getting rapped by the court, the BOSE Chairman through its counsel Additional Advocate General Javaid Ahmad Kawoosa sought two weeks to file appropriate affidavit.
The petitioner advocate Arshid Andrabi read out from the report of a Government committee that 400 ETT colleges are operating in the state which admit students without conducting any classes and charge whooping amount of Rs 45,000 to Rs 80,000 from each student.
The committee report has also termed ETT colleges a “huge scandal” in the history of the State where thousands of crores of rupees are changing hands as bribe and almost all concerned persons are involved in this loot, besides pointing out other malpractices by this “mafia” in connivance with top BOSE officials.
