SRINAGAR, Dec 7: Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) produced a charge-sheet against Abdul Rashid Shah, the then in-charge Executive Officer, Mushtaq Ahmad Sofi, the then President, Municipal Committee, Bandipora and 54 other beneficiaries for illegal appointments
The ACB produced the charge-sheet against 56 accused persons including two public servants before the Special Judge ACB in a case related to alleged misuse of official position and illegal appointments in Municipal Committee of Bandipora. The case was registered on 28-6-2013 against 56 accused persons including officers/officials of the MC Bandipora in pursuance to the verification conducted into the allegations of illegal appointments made by the officers/officials of the Municipal Committee Bandipora during the period 2009-2010 in which some of the close relatives of the officials were also appointed illegally in brazen violation of rules and regulations.
It was also alleged that the illegal appointments were made during 2009-10 by then President Mushtaq Ahamd Sofi and in-charge Executive Officer Municipal Committee Bandipora in league with beneficiaries by abuse of their official position and in gross violation/ utter disregard of the standing government order/rules without their having any competence to do so etc.
The investigation conducted has revealed that these appointees were lacking eligibility criteria as laid down in the recruitment rules/orders governing these appointments issued by government from time to time. By acting in such a manner, the officers/officials of Municipal Committee Bandipora by abuse of their official position conferred undue pecuniary advantage upon the above mentioned beneficiaries with corresponding loss to the state exchequer by gross abuse of their official position by illegally appointing them.
On the basis of cogent and clinching evidence brought on record by the ACB, the investigation established the commission of offences U/S 5(1) (d) r/w 5 (2) J&K P.C Act Svt; 2006 and 120-B, 201 RPC against the above named two accused public servants including 54 beneficiaries.
