JAMMU, July 10: In the much publicized Assembly Secretariat illegal appointments case, High Court today took the status report of State Vigilance Organization on record and issued directions to the Registry for listing of the petition for consideration in the week commencing August 3.
After considering the submissions of Advocate S S Ahmed, Justice Bansi Lal Bhat observed, “since there is paucity of time and matter needs considerable time because the entire status report is to be read and looking into the seriousness of the matter, the status report is taken on record and the matter will be further heard in the week commencing August 3”.
Earlier, Advocate Sheikh Shakeel Ahmed with Advocates Rahul Raina and Irfaan Mohd Khan appearing for the petitioner drew the attention of the court to the order dated April, 16, 2015 whereby Justice Janak Raj Kotwal had rejected the closure report of the SVO and issued directions for conducting a preliminary enquiry into the matter after framing four important points in order to unearth the recruitment scam in the Assembly Secretariat.
Advocate Ahmed further invited the attention of the court to the detailed status report filed by the SVO and prayed for issuance of formal directions to the SVO for lodging an FIR against the erring ex-Speakers and the Secretary J&K Legislative Assembly for running an employment racket.
