| SVO registers case against Rekhi, revenue officers for fake state subject | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, June 17: State Vigilance Organization (SVO) today filed FIR against Suresh Kumar Rekhi, DGM JKPCC (beneficiary), Sher Singh, the then AC (R) Jammu, Sanjay Gupta, the then Assistant Settlement Officer Jammu, Mahesh Sharma, the then Naib-Tehsildar (T) Jammu for issuing PRC to a non State subject.
During the course of investigation of case FIR No. 12/2013 registered against Suresh Kumar Rekhi, DGM JKPCC in August 2013, it surfaced that Suresh Kumar Rekhi despite not being a permanent resident of J&K state managed his entry in Govt. service in 1991. Accused public servant was found to have joined JKPCC on consolidated basis and it became evident that except his date of birth recorded in his service book nothing has been written as verified.
As per the communication of company secretary JKPCC vide Letter No.PS/MD/6767-69 dated 19.11.2013, the accused public servant has procured state subject certificate in November, 2013 and his age shown in the Certificate is 48 years which clearly proves that the said public servant did not produce State Subject at the time of his initial appointment in JKPCC in March, 1991.
During investigation, it got established on the basis of the relevant records, that Suresh Kumar Rekhi was not permanent resident of J&K and hence was not entitled to be conferred Permanent Resident Status as per the provisions governing the subject in hand. Accused revenue officers/officials namely Sher Singh, the then AC (R) Jammu, Sanjay Gupta, the then Assistant Settlement Officer Jammu, Mahesh Sharma, the then NaibTehsildar (T) Jammu have by abuse and misuse of their official position with dishonest intention conferred illegal benefit/pecuniary advantage upon Suresh Kumar Rekhi while issuing PRC in his favour. Aforementioned commissions and omissions on the part of said accused public servants & the beneficiary and others constitute the offences u/s 5(1) (d) punishable u/s 5(2) P.C. Act Svt. 2006 r/w section 120-B RPC. Accordingly, case FIR No 19/2014 is registered in P/S VOJ and investigation has been entrusted to Inspector Bhatu Choudhary. However, sources in DC office Jammu revealed that the said state subject was issued to Suresh Kumar Rekhi on the basis of state subject of his father as well as on the basis of other supported documents like Voter card, Ration Card, land documents of Rekhi which were prepared long back. Apart from it, statement of two witnesses namely Bikrant Gupta and Sunil Choudhary were recorded by the Naib-Tahsildar (Territorial) Jammu who supported the claim of state subject of the beneficiary and mislead the Revenue officials. |
