JAMMU, Feb 11: State Vigilance Organization (SVO) has booked former Vice-Chancellor, Registrar, Assistant Registrar and Deputy Registrar of Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (SKUAST-J) in fake appointment case.
An official spokesman of SVO said that during the verification into the allegations of illegal appointment, it has come to the fore that one Sanjay Sharma was initially engaged as Computer Programmer SKUAST Jammu on ad hoc basis and in the year 2001 he was placed as PRO to the then Vice Chancellor on probation basis which was confirmed in the year 2003.
While processing the case of Sanjay Sharma for putting him in the Selection Grade, the experience of Model Institute of Education and Research (a private establishment) with effect from 1997 to 2000 was arbitrarily counted and considered to be the active service of Sanjay Sharma. During verification, it has also come to the fore that a fake and forged approval shown issued by the then Vice Chancellor Nagendra Sharma has been made basis for putting the beneficiary Sanjay Sharma in Selection Grade.
In order to bestow illegal benefit upon Sanjay Sharma, the officers/officials wilfully twisted, distorted the rules and without competence and power created a non-existent post of Deputy Registrar (Secrecy), the spokesman said, adding the verification has also revealed that the officers/officials of SKUAST Jammu while in active connivance with each other knowingly and dishonestly forged the documents/record and used the same as genuine and placed beneficiary in Selection Grade for which beneficiary was not eligible thereby conferred undue pecuniary advantage upon the beneficiary.
It has also been found that in order to screen this illegal act from the eyes of law, the relevant record has been destroyed. By acting in this manner, Dr B Mishra, the then Vice Chancellor SKUAST Jammu, B B Gupta, the then Registrar, Tarsem Raj, the then Assistant Registrar in league with each other and with beneficiary accused Sanjay Sharma and others abused their official position and dishonestly and knowingly conferred undue benefit upon the accused.
As such case FIR No. 2/2016 has been registered in Vigilance Organization, Jammu under Section 5 (1)(d) read with 5(2) of Jammu and Kashmir Prevention of Corruption Act and Sections 120-B, 468, 471 and 201 RPC on the prima facie establishment of offences on the part of Dr B Mishra, the then Vice Chancellor SKUAST Jammu, B B Gupta, the then Registrar, Tarsem Raj, the then Assistant Registrar and Sanjay Sharma.
