Jammu , Aug 20
In a glaring case of tampering with date of birth to overstay in government service, Court of Special Judge Anti-Corruption Kashmir, convicted Bashir Ahmad Bhat, then Executive Engineer Estates Division Srinagar and sentenced the accused to 15 years rigorous imprisonment for commission of offences punishable U/S 5(2) PC Act, 420, 471 RPC. The accused Bashir Ahmad Bhat then Executive Engineer, in connivance with Ghulam Mohammad Shah, the then Assistant Registrar, Kashmir University (now deceased) and Chaman Lal Razdan then Senior Assistant Examination Section Kashmir University had obtained a forged Date of Birth Certificate from Kashmir University in early sixties by showing his date of birth as 16.09.1943 instead of 16.09.1937 and using it as genuine in his service records. Thereafter, the accused while being posted as Executive Engineer, R&B Division Handwara in 1993-94 had again shown his date of birth as 16.09.1945 in the yearly establishment list submitted to the authorities. By acting in this manner the accused abused his official position and illegally overstayed in the department and conferred undue pecuniary advantage to himself by withdrawing undue salary. The Court however acquitted the co-accused Chaman Lal by giving him benefit of doubt.
