SRINAGAR: The Vigilance Organization Kashmir, Srinagar has lodged an FIR into the illegal appointments made by the then Custodian Evacuee Property Abdul Majid Wani in connivance with Custodian General, Evacuee Property, J&K.
According to FIR bearing No. 22/2014 under section 5(1) d, r/w 5(2) P. C. Act. Svt 2006 and section 120-B RPC, it has been alleged that the duo had appointed two relatives of the then Custodian Khurshid Ahmad Khanday of Pushwan Tral (Brother in law of Custodian) and Javid Ahmad Bhat of Hariparigam Tehsil Awantipora ( Cousin of the then Custodian) in the department initially on consolidated basis on 12-11-2003 and 15-07-2005 on monthly wages. Within a short span of time both were regularized as Orderlies in a graded pay scale on 16-08-2004 and 26-10-2005 respectively. These beneficiaries were later promoted in violation of all codal formalities as Junior Assistants during the year 2004-05 on pick and choose basis.
It is further alleged that these engagements and their subsequent regularization and promotions were thus based on back door entry, nepotism and favouritism whereas the genuine and deserving candidates were not given the chance to compete in the process of engagement or proper recruitment in utter violation of rules and regulations. The investigation has been taken up.
