SHILLONG: The CBI report on the anomalies in 10 centres where recruitment of teachers was carried out in 2008-09, will be examined by the Education and the Political departments.
Sources said on Tuesday that the report was submitted to the chief secretary on November 14 by the CBI as per the order of the High Court on November 2 and the chief secretary referred the matter to the departments concerned for action.
The CBI, during the course of investigation, found that several score sheets of the 10 centres were missing.
Earlier, the first CBI inquiry report on the education scam had examined five centres – Shillong Sadar, Jowai, Amlarem, Tura and Dadenggre – and segregated both tainted and untainted candidates.
On November 2 last year, the court had said the CBI would carry out probe and segregate the tainted and untainted candidates and submit its report to the chief secretary.
The court also wanted the chief secretary to take action after the report was examined by a committee headed by him.
According to the court order, the committee headed by the chief secretary will examine the CBI report and carry out further inquiry as deemed fit and make final recommendation to the state government within three months of receiving the CBI report.
The court also observed that if large scale manipulation or interference of public representative or any other person is found, the committee may recommend scrapping of the whole selection process of that centre too and the state government will act accordingly.
The court further said if there were no illegalities and manipulations in any centre or if the extent of irregularities in any particular centre are not of higher magnitude and no case of interference by any public representative or any other person is found, the selection process of such centre may be approved by the committee subject to appropriate orders relating to the tainted candidate, if any, and the state government will act accordingly.
