HC directs personal appearance of Com/Secy RDD Dis-engagement to post of Director Social Audit MGNREGA 6/18/2015 11:59:06 PM Early Times Report Jammu, June 18: In a petition filed by Syed Khurshid Ahmed Shah Director Social Audit MGNREGA seeking quashment of order dated October 18, 2014 whereby his services were disengaged by Secretary Rural Development Department, Justice Bansi Lal Bhat of J&K High Court Jammu Wing after hearing the petition took a serious view of the matter and after going through records, prima-facie observed that it appears that affidavit filed by Secretary RDD is contrary to the records as there is sufficient evidence on record which belies stand taken by Secretary RDD as the correspondence on the file shows that the petitioner was very much in service up to January 2015 and how his services were disengaged in October, 2014. After considering the submissions advanced by Council, Justice Bansi Lal Bhat, directed the personal appearance of Commissioner/ Secretary Rural Development Department on the next date of hearing to explain his position. The Counsel drew the attention to the court to the affidavit filed by Secretary Rural Development Department wherein it was submitted that service record of the petitioner appears to have been lost/ non-traceable due to floods in the valley. Upon this the Counsel submitted that this affidavit is also false as the petitioner was engaged on October 18, 2014 and floods came in valley in first week of September and this affidavit was filed just to defeat the earlier interim directions passed by the State High Court whereby directions were issued to pay emoluments/Darbar Move allowance and also to continue the petitioner to serve as Director Social Audit. The Counsel submitted that it is quite strange that the petitioner was engaged on October 18, 2014 vide order No.286-RD&PR of 2014 and he continued to serve till date and was disengaged by antedated order No.286-A RD&PR of 2014 dated October 18, 2014 just to defeat the earlier interim directions. —(JNF)   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
