HC fines NMC officials in recruitment scam
The Nagpur bench of the Bombay high court on Monday, while hearing a petition of alleged recruitment scam in the Nagpur Municipal Corporat
ion (NMC), has directed the civic body to appoint four petitioners and pay Rs 10,000 to each.
A division bench comprising justices Kishor Rohee and Bhushan Dharmadhikari also directed the civic body to recover this amount from "guilty" officials and if it's not done within a stipulated time it would amount to "contempt of court" , the bench said in its verdict.
In the process, the court has granted relief to four petitioners - Vijay Humne, Ashok Patil, Dipak Pittalwar and Pundlik Dhore. While the petitions of five others - Prashant Dandekar, Mangala Kukde, Rahul Kharabe, Vijay Ghiye and Rahul Rathod - were rejected. However, a petition of Kiran Meshram was given "in-principal " approval for getting his job back.
All the 11 petitioners had challenged the recruitment procedure of posts of ward officer, additional commissioner , junior engineer, assistant structural engineer, technical assistant, plumber, and wireman among others of NMC. A battery of lawyers including M G Bhangde, Bhanudas Kulkarni, and Sudhir Puranik among others represented the petitioners.
According to the petitioners , the civic body had decided to fill up above posts through the examination comprising 70 marks theory and 25 marks oral test. The selection panel had five corporators and four NMC officials.
