‘had submitted fake documents and was appointed against one of the good posts.’

reply to the application under RTI Act, the authorities have tried to downplay
the issue in answer to a query. “University had received adverse report in case

job.” The information also manifests that ‘ineligible candidates were appointed
against various posts while some employees were promoted in violation of
rules.’

says that 13 employees in Class IV cadre were upgraded in their grade pay just
after completing three years’ regularized service. They include 9 attendants,

employees, Helper (Plumbing) and Helper (Electrician) were promoted to
Assistant Plumber and Assistant Electrician when there were no University
Service Rules in operation which got vetted in 5th University executive council
meeting held on 7 August 2014,” said RTI applicant, Sheikh Asif.
As per RTI
reply, out of 157 employees regularized on basis of contractual and adhoc
service, only five employees were given monetary and service benefits
