SHILLONG: The High Court of Meghalaya has directed CBI to table the report on the alleged anomalies in police recruitment on or before October 6, 2016, even as the forensic report of the hard disc seized from the MPSC computer is yet to come from Central Forensic Science Laboratory in New Delhi.
The High Court said on Wednesday, “It is noticed that as per the order passed by the learned Single Judge, which is questioned in this appeal, the inquiry was to be completed by CBI within three months from June 16, 2016. In the order dated September 8, it was expected that the report shall be submitted to this Court in this appeal in a sealed cover at the earliest and the matter was posted for hearing today (Wednesday).”
Senior counsel V.K Jindal submitted that he has with him only the status report of proceedings and not the report required by the court.
The High Court had ordered a CBI probe into the alleged manipulation in the recruitment to fill up 34 posts of the Meghalaya Police Service Officer under the Home (Police) Department.
The order came from Justice S.R Sen in response to a petition filed by Millon Ch. Momin, who after clearing the physical efficiency test, the preliminary written examination and the subsequent mains written examination conducted from September 8-16, 2014, did not find a place on the list of successful candidates.
