Shahjahanpur, July 2: District Magistrate after finding issuing backdated orders on all files by then Tehsildar, deemed it an act of corruption and ordered the filing of an FIR. He also recommended Arun's suspension and departmental action in a letter to the Revenue Board Commissioner.
However, Arun Sonkar tehsildar has been now suspended, and departmental action is recommended.
An initial investigation suggested that after his transfer, Arun colluded to issue transfer orders on plain paper, which were not recorded on the RCCMS (online) portal.
Recently, when some advocates brought transfer files to new Tehsildar Raghavesh Mani Tripathi in Powayan to have them registered on the portal. According to the rules, transfer orders should be barcoded and computerized. However, these files had transfer orders written on plain paper with Arun Sonkar's signature but had no dates.
This was reported to DM, who summoned Arun and showed him the files, in turn he admitted the signatures were his but claimed he forgot to date them. He re-signed and added the dates from his tenure in Powayan.
Finding the matter suspicious, the DM ordered an investigation by ADM Judicial & ADM's report stated that notices sent to the buyer and seller were missing.
Thereafter, DM ordered action.
