The Times of India: Chandigarh: Wednesday, June 27, 2012.
Perturbed over the directions of Central Information Commission (CIC) to provide the findings of investigation into the teacher recruitment scam to social activist Hemant Goswami, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has moved the Punjab and Haryana high court.
Goswami had sought information on the findings of the scam through an RTI application. When the CBI refused to provide it, the appellant had moved CIC, which on April 2 directed the agency to furnish it.
The CBI has alleged that it would mar their probe. A HC bench has issued notices to CIC and the petitioner, asking them to submit their reply in a month.
The scam had come to light in 2009. The name of Haryana Civil Services officer Samwartak Singh, who was then UT director public instructions (DPI), schools, had also cropped up during investigation. In February, the high court had slammed UT police and Chandigarh branch of CBI for a slow probe and handed over the inquiry to Delhi branch of CBI.
