| Court rejects plea for release of passport of former Chairman J&K Bank | | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Mar 16: Special Judge Anti-Corruption Srinagar C L Bavoria has rejected the plea of Parvez Ahmad Nengroo former Chairman Jammu & Kashmir Bank releasing his passport which was surrendered by him before ACB as condition of bail.
The applicant said that the release of passport has been sought on the grounds projected in the application that the case is pending disposal before this court. The applicant's passport has been retained by this court while admitting him to bail. The applicant has strictly adhered to the terms and conditions of the bail order in letter and spirit and shall continue to do so. The children of the applicant are at the crucial stages of their educational career.
Justice Bavoria after hearing both the sides observed that applicant is one of the main accused in case FIR No. 10/2019 for offence u/s 5(2) of P. C. Act, case pending disposal before this court, fixed on 9-4-2022 for arguments on charge/discharge of the accused. The passport of the applicant has been retained while admitted the accused/applicant to bail as per the condition laid down there in the bail order that he will surrender the passport before this court, is not in dispute.
The judge said the charge sheet reflects that applicant/accused along-with other officials in hierarchy in the concerned bank allegedly have misused their official position with the nefarious design to cause wrongful gain to themselves and loss to the concerned bank, have made recruitments of blue eyed persons, kith and kin of politicians, bureaucrats and other influential persons as banking associates and assistant banking attendants in J&K Bank, by back door appointment in complete disregard to recruitment process and rules governing such recruitment.
The court observed that the applicant has sought the release of the passport on the sole ground that the children of the applicant are at the crucial stage of their education career and they require the passport details of his father during pursuing their educational or professional career. The ground pleaded is evasive and not specific. Such a ground is not convincing in absence of any specific pleading to disclose as to when and where the passport of the applicant is required by the children of the applicant.
Merely saying so, the release of the passport in favor of the applicant/accused is not proper, particularly when the retained passport is of the accused and not of his children. Nothing has been on record to suggest that the children of the applicant are studying and by whom the passport of the applicant is demanded by which authority or office. The court found no merit in the application and dismissed it. |
