(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Srinagar ~ The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Crime Branch Kashmir has filed a charge sheet against three individuals, including a retired headmaster, in connection with a fraudulent appointment and salary drawal case involving manipulation of government service records.

Officials said the charge sheet was submitted before the Court of Sub Judge, Chadoora, in FIR No. 95/2022, following a detailed investigation into irregularities flagged by the Directorate of School Education, Kashmir. The case pertains to alleged fraud committed under SRO-43, which governs compassionate appointments in government departments.

The accused have been identified as Ghulam Mohi-ud-Din Gazi, a retired headmaster and resident of Zaindar Mohalla, Habba Kadal, Srinagar; Mubeena Kawsar; and Ifra Nissar.

According to the EOW, the probe began after officials discovered that the original appointee, Ifra Nissar, had resigned from her government post. However, the then Drawing and Disbursing Officer (DDO) allegedly concealed this resignation and fraudulently substituted another individual in her place, continuing to draw salary against the same post.

Investigators said that both documentary and oral evidence established a criminal conspiracy involving forgery, impersonation, and misappropriation of government funds. The offences were found to fall under Sections 419, 420, 409, 468, and 471 read with 120-B of the Ranbir Penal Code (RPC).
