On a petition alleging irregularities in the appointment of Secretary in Ghuna PACS, Bolangir, by one Bishnulal Mahananda of Ranimal village in Tusra block, the Orissa High Court has issued notices to several persons seeking their responses.
The petitioner in his application has stated that in 2016 there was an advertisement for appointment to post of Secretary, PACS, Ghuna. For that post many candidates had applied but Rasmi Ranjan Behera was given appointment. When the certificates of Rasmi Ranjan Behera which he submitted for his appointment were obtained under RTI, the MBA certificates of Acharya Nagarjun University, Andhra Pradesh were found to be suspicious.
After the complaint, the Deputy Registrar of Cooperative Societies, Balangir, had ordered an inquiry on March 6 2017 but the inquiry proceedings were never shared with the complainant and no action was being taken against the illegal appointment. The petitioner prayed to court to direct the authorities for production of inquiry proceeding document and if necessary may cause a high-level inquiry.
The Cooperative department, Registrar of Cooperative Societies, District Collector, Bolangir, SP, Bolangir, deputy Registrar and Assistant Registrar of Cooperative Societies, President PACS, Ghuna, Registrar Acharya Nagarjun University and Rasmi Ranjan Behera have been issued notice on May 11.
