Police in Chhattisgarh are probing who forged the seal and signature of the District and Session Judge Balodabazar and issued appointment letters against vacant positions in the court, it was announced on Sunday.
Fake appointment letters were issued for the posts of Assistant Grade-2, Assistant Grade-3, Data Entry Operator and Peon in the civil courts in Kasdol, Bilaigarh and Simga.
The District and Session Court Balodabazar issued an official statement on Sunday denying that any recruitment or appointment had taken place.
The court also denied issuing any advertisement to this effect and urged people to be on the guard against fake advertisements and the activities of anti-social elements.
Some days ago, unidentified men forged the seal and signature of the District and Session Judge Balodabazar, and issued appointment letters on the vacant positions.
Fake advertisements also circulated on the Internet.
Rajnish Shrivastava, the District and Session Judge, Balodabazar, and Chairman of the recruitment committee has condemned the dubious recruitment.
He said that the District and Session Court uploads every such order on the official website https://districts.ecourts.gov.in/balodbazar/. Such orders can be cross-checked from the official website of the court.
Police are investigating the case, one official said.
