After the enquiry officer submitted his report the said official namely Ghulam Nabi Qadri was suspended. Inspite of his suspension, the official kept interfering with the Zone office work and the ZEO Beerwah was forced to write a letter to the CEO Budgam , Director School Education Kashmir and Minister for Education vide his Letter NO: No.: ZEOB/1988-89 Dated 21-02-2015. The ZEO's letter reads as :"Because suspension of the accused official Mr. Ghulam Nabi Qadri

The accused official has challenged his suspension before the Hon'ble Court therefore to avoid legal complicacy undersigned withdrew the suspension part of the official and all the other conditions laid down in the above Order No. ZEOB/15/1988-89 Dated: 21-02-2015 where kept unchanged. The official was relieved of the charge on 21-02-2015 but he has unauthorisedly/forcefully held the charge . The official is a habitual cheater, fraudulent, corrupt and arrogant. He is used to uncivic and unparliamentarily language. He was placed under suspension till pending enquiry against proved documentary evidences of cheating and embezzlement of SSA accounts with the fair intentions to stop him from embezzlement of public money. But due to legal complicacy for want of approval of the suspension from Director School Education, undersigned withdrew the suspension of the official.
The letter further reads:
"He has held the charge without authority. I have no trust in him, therefore, I fear further embezzlements through the proceedings during his being incharge of SSA accounts. I am holding additional charge at Zone Beerwah since 11-12-2014. I have to look into the affairs of Zone Soibugh (My Original Place of Posting) also. On the basis of mistrust and fearing embezzlements/misappropriations through the official proceedings carried by Mr. Ghulam Nabi Qadri I/c Head Assistant I am helpless to operate upon the SSA Accounts at Zone Beerwah. It is, therefore, submitted for information and further necessary action at your end" After ZEO's letter the matter came into notice of Education Minister as well as Director School Education Kashmir. The official was attached with Director office in Srinagar around a month back but till date the Director school Education Kashmir is yet to initiate action against the said corrupt official whose case has been recommended by the Enquiry Officer for suspension. |
