A division bench comprising Chief Justice Kurian Joseph and Justice Dharam Chand also directed the Additional Director General of Police, State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau to handover the entire material collected by them in FIR registered in the case to the Superintendent of Police of CBI, Shimla, within two weeks.
The orders were passed while disposing the petition of V P Ahluwalia, a retired Principal, which alleged Rajesh Thakur, Director, Thakur College of Education, Dhaliara, had used fake documents to get recognition for educational courses from the National Council of Teacher Education (NCTE) and demanded a CBI inquiry into the matter as the HP University and the NCTE were not taking any action on his complaints.
Ahluwalia had also alleged the siblings of Rajesh Thakur had used fake degrees to get government jobs.
CBI had registered a case on complaint of V P Ahluwalia in which he had alleged that Ajit Singh Rana, the then Regional Director of the NCTE, Jaipur, had abused his official position to grant recognition to Thakur College of Education for additional intake of 100 seats for B.Ed and 25 seats for M.Ed during year 2007-08 in gross and criminal violation of laid down norms and guidelines of NCTE.
The High Court further directed the SP, CBI, to take appropriate action in accordance with law in three months, as far as this case was concerned. PTI PCL PAL
