Chandigarh, Apr 16: A Naib Tehsildar, namely, Karamjeet Singh in the Department of Revenue, Rehabilitation and Disaster Management has been demoted/reverted to the substantive post of Kanungo.
The said order was issued by Additional Chief Secretary-cum-Financial Commissioner (Revenue) Anurag Verma in connection with an FIR registered against the revenue officer in 2019 under the Prevention of Corruption Act because charges have been framed against him in the court.
The official was accused of accepting Rs 8,000 bribe.
Previously, a show-cause notice was served on the official, asking him to explain “why he should not be reverted to the post of Kanungo as his work and conduct has not been satisfactory during his probation period”.
He also failed to avail the opportunity of personal hearing during the proceedings, so why it is hereby ordered that Karamjeet Singh be reverted to his substantive post of Kanungo, with immediate effect.
