| VC's favourite drags JU to court, gets rewarded as Spl Secy to VC | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 25: The infirmity of the present administration under the nose of Prof Ramji Dass Sharma can be measured from the fact that Neeraj Sharma who disregarded University Council and also dragged university of Jammu into court finally managed his entry into power corridors of JU.
While questioning the wisdom of Pro-Chancellor of the Jammu University, Mehbooba Mufti, The Jammu Youth Forum (JYF) has urged his Pro-Chancellor to wake up from deep slumber and immediately set the things right in Jammu University.
This was stated by Deepak Kumar, President, Jammu Youth Forum today while addressing a press conference. He stated that Neeraj Sharma, promoted as special secretary to vice-chancellor was demoted, following recommendation of empowered committee, constituted by the then Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to probe administrative impropriety, favoritism and financial irregularities in Jammu University (JU).
He informed that the probe committee gave it's observation that Neeraj Sharma was recruited as Assistant Registrar on March, 10, 2003 and appointed as Deputy Registrar on July, 10, 2006. "Notwithstanding the decision of the University Council (67 Meeting) to place the appointment of the Special Secretary at the discretion of VC, the appointment of Sharma without considering the similarly situated Deputy Registrars or by inviting applications, was prima facie questionable," he added.
Deepak Kumar said that the committee further recommended the appointment of Neeraj Sharma be reviewed by the University Council. "In fact University Council may also review the earlier decision to allow VC to make an appointment as per his discretion, as such provision lacks merit, transparency and equity, he said added. He further informed that Neeraj Sharma had challenged council's decision, got stay on council's order, and remained OSD Finance, OSD DDE, and OSD Director CDC besides Prof RD Sharma awarded him with Post of Special Secretary to VC. |
