Lieutenant governor asks panel to probe DTU job scam, vice-chancellor on leave

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 26 Februari 2014 | 22.10

NEW DELHI: The vice-chancellor of Delhi Technological University (DTU), P B Sharma, has been sent on leave pending inquiry into charges of corruption against him. Lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung has also ordered constitution of a three-member committee to conduct the inquiry and submit their findings within three months.

The case relates to a 2012 recruitment round. Vacancies were advertised in December 2011 and the selection took place in 2012. "There were many irregularities and people who didn't fulfil even the minimum eligibility criteria were screened, allowed to appear for interview and even selected," says a senior faculty member. Two teachers' associations - Delhi College of Engineering Teachers' Association and the University Forum for Democracy and Innovation - had opposed these appointments.

The faculty member adds that as "punishment", some of these teachers were removed from their positions and replaced by the new recruits. An inquiry was repeatedly demanded by teachers and even recommended by the education department in March 2013. It was put on hold and is being re-instituted now.

The matter was reopened by the new government. In a January 2014 report, chief secretary S K Srivastava recommended an inquiry. It was backed by former education minister Manish Sisodia and also Jung. On February 19, Jung wrote: "This is an old complaint and we are getting it form many quarters. Obviously we need to inquire into it. VC may be asked to proceed on leave immediately." He's also jotted instructions for the committee which should include former chief secretary R Narayanaswamy and principal secretary of education and anyone else the chief secretary nominates as third member. The order was signed and stamped by February 20.

There's no letter informing Sharma of the order but on February 24, he wrote to the DTU chancellor, Jung, seeking "permission to avail leave for medical reasons". "I have been, for quite some time, feeling the heaviness and perturbations in my heart," says the letter, "I would like to undergo medical treatment and as such would like to avail leave w.e.f. February 24, 2014. I would, however, be available for any consultation and shall extend all cooperation to the university and the government in any matter which may require my cooperation." In his absence, the pro-VC will discharge his duties.

P B Sharma said on Tuesday that "the university has not received any such order".
