SRINAGAR: A criminal proceeding is to be initiated against a teacher in Kashmir by the Directorate of School Education Kashmir (DSE-K) for submitting a fake posting order.
The Chief Education Officer Srinagar vide letter No. CEO/Sgr/106/12866-67 dated 22-11-2022 has reported that, "the service book of Hilal Ahmad Sheikh of Trappy Beerwah district Budgam working as teacher in Boys High School Barthana District Srinagar reveal an entry to the effect that he has been appointed as teacher vide Directorate order No. 491-DSEK of 2009 dated 12-06-2009 under RBA category, after being selected by the J&K Service Selection Board Srinagar.
In order to ascertain the genuineness of his appointment order, the original appointment order issued by this Directorate vide No. 491-DSEK of 2009 dated 12-06-2009 and selection list issued by the J&K Service Selection Board were verified and it has been found that his name does not figure anywhere in the original appointment order nor in the original select list of JKSSB.
Whereas, the dispatch No. CEO/Estt/Appt/2009/9853-55 dated 06-07-2009 mentioned in his posting order actually pertains to the posting order issued in favour of Lalit Kumari and Madhu Bala respectively.
The matter was inquired and last month it was found that the appointment order showing to have been issued in favour of concerned vide No. 491- SEK of 2009 dated 12-06-2009 is “fake/forged” and he has managed his entry in the department by producing fake appointment order, therefore deceiving the authorities, while drawing illegal wages from government exchequer.
The delinquent teacher has been served upon show cause notice vide this Directorate No. DSEK/Estt-1/B-Trs/Fake-apptt/022/5795 dated 03-01-2023.
The delinquent teacher has responded to the show cause notice and submitted the reply dated: 10-01-2023 through speed post, which was thoroughly examined and found devoid of merit for reconsideration.
“Now therefore, keeping in view the above facts, the appointment order No. 491- DSER of 2009 dated 12-06-2009 under endorsement No. Estt-III/24/2009/Sgr/6009-13 dated 12-06-2009 purportedly issued in favour of Hilal Ahmad Sheikh R/o Trappy Beerwah district Budgam being not issued by this Directorate, is treated to be null and void and non-est in the eyes of law. Consequently, any benefit derived out of the said fake Order shall be immediately recovered and criminal proceedings be initiated against the said person”, reads the order issued by Directorate of School Education Kashmir.
