Court rejects bail of Addl Secy Culture Academy 2/27/2020 9:13:18 PM EARLY TIMES REPORT JAMMU, Feb 27: Special Judge Anti-corruption Jammu YP Boruney today rejected the bail application of one Syed Shakeel-ul-Rehman Additional Secretary J&K Academy of Art, Culture and Languages in appointment case. Special Judge Anti-corruption Jammu YP Bourney while rejecting bail observed that the accusations against the applicant having conspired with the other accused and in furtherance thereof subverted/faked the entire selection process for their common object i.e. to select and appoint the applicant notwithstanding their competence to make selection for such a post especially in absence of clear orders to proceed further with the selection process and even ineligibility of applicant for the post for want of requisite service or even experience on the date of application. He resigned a day before the selection list was made public and order for his appointment was issued, which clearly reflects that he knew about his selection even before the declaration of the result. Therefore, the allegations against the accused/applicant and others are well founded and series of offences alleged to the committed by him and others in the process are heinous in nature, which carry imprisonment for life or imprisonment of either description for ten years besides fine. As regards, the possibility of accused applicant to subvert the legal process and influence the witnesses or tamper with the evidence this court has no hesitation in recording the observations that a person like applicant, who managed and high jacked the entire selection process single handedly for securing his appointment to the post for which he was not even eligible to apply by dodging and surpassing the candidates having far superior merit and experience in the field having worked with media organizations like BBC, NDTV, Indian Express etc of national/international fame, ten years back, can now easily be expected to hell with the witnesses, if given a chance. Rather it is disturbing that he has been allowed to roam freely for too long time even after the indictment and came to be arrested when investigation was nearing completion. Therefore, it would not be in the interest of fair trial to release the applicant on bail at this stage. For the foregoing reasons, instant application is dismissal and let the file be consigned to records after its due completion any observations made herein above are meant for the disposal of instant application only and shall have not come in the way of applicant at later stage of the proceedings.
