It is a celebration time for IFS cadre when at fag end of their career, they could get, what others have got many \u00a0many years ago in other State cadres.<\/p>\n<p>A big so called thanks to your own officers. A small thing, which could have been done long long ago, was first sabotaged by an IFS officer, Rajendra Mangarulkar, who was Joint Secretary for five years with the help of another office bearer of IFS association. This was because their batches or they themselves were not being promoted due to the then proposed cadre restructuring.<\/p>\n<p>NOW L<strong>ook here !!!! what a celebration by members of the service<\/strong>. <a href=\"http:\/\/cimforest.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Jairam-Ramesh.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Union Minister of Forests writing<\/a> to Chief Minister, Maharashtra for this mess. Minister for Forests, Maharashtra admonishing top officials including HOFF of state cadre for not sending proposal. Who can be at fault ? Can anybody dare to name them in public. <strong>Hawaa kharaab ho jayegee sabkee. Itnee departmental enquiries lagegee kee face karte karte nani yaad aa jayegee , and dear friends promotion to bhool jao.<\/strong> But someone has to bell the CAT. We will do that for all of you in time to come.<\/p>\n<p>But lets see here, \u00a0how objectively our HOFF office works:<\/p>\n<p><strong>These are not stories but hard facts<\/strong> : You can just see how two officers of the same cadre are discriminated so vastly at Government level:<\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A minor penalty charge sheet to Navin Singh was given after 14 years for taking car advance and not repaying it in time, though deduction for repayment was other\u2019s job and not his:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/cimforest.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/car-charge-sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">charge sheet was given to Navin Singh after 14 years<\/a> of incident because he had complained to the Lokayukta against JP Dange IAS \u00a0and one ex JS, who had demanded Rs 10 lacs from him for putting Navin&#8217;s points of view, expressed by him in his representation, in the note sheet of the relevant file. It is really shameful \u00a0that he had been charge sheeted on the recommendation of the PCCF on following ground<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>He had withdrawn Rs 40,000\/- computer advance , which      was sanctioned by the government, and fund for the same was placed by PCCF      at the disposal of CF Aurangabad. It seems CF Aurangabad has not sent him      a forwarding letter of sanctioned computer advance. \u00a0Thus, according to PCCF, Navin Singh had misappropriated      government money temporarily for personal monetary gains ( This is not      story , but you can check up this in attached charge sheet).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>That he had not repaid loan with an intention to misappropriate      government money. This charge sheet was issued \u00a0knowing fully well that he was placed      under suspension in 2003 and before that he was absent from duty on      medical grounds from 1999 to 2003. \u00a0Hence      he was never\u00a0 an authority, who was      drawing or disbursing officer and hence recovery was never in his hand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>It was Government, who did not pay him subsistence      allowance for many years til he complained to Lokayukta about it. At the      first disbursement of subsistence allowance by CCF Pune, this advanced was      deducted.\u00a0 It is note worthy that his      successor in Aurangabad division, Sameer Sahay should have marked these      deductions in his LPC, which he did not do, leading into this situation.      Thus for no fault of him, after 14 years he was issued a charge sheet on      the recommendation of PCCF.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Though it might \u00a0not be taken cordially, but while interviewing \u00a0Navin Singh he has given us several documents regarding \u00a0income tax documents      of his wife, Dr Renu Singh, who is Chairperson of the Woodstock group of      companies, who is to pay an arrear <strong>of      <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Rs <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/cimforest.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/4-crores-demand-IT-Renu.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">FOUR CRORES<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/cimforest.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/4-crores-demand-IT-Renu.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> as arrears of Income tax<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"> for the block period of      1988-98 .

And there was no irregularity in drawing that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>When Navin Singh approached CAT against this charge      sheet, CAT has severely criticised Government for this enquiry and asked      the Government to reconsider this enquiry on the ground of delays and      latches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">NOW LOOK TOWARDS A CASE OF DR\u00a0 NAND\u00a0 KISHORE, the then Joint Secretary R&amp;FD<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Principal Chief Conservator of Forests vide his letter dated 1<sup>st<\/sup> June 2002 has sent a report of misuse of Government money against Dr Nand Kishore . <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/cimforest.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Nand-kishore-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PCCF had recommended suspension of Dr Nand Kishore<\/a><\/strong> and to post\u00a0 Sarvesh Kumar as Joint Secretary in his place. Along with report , a draft charge sheet was also sent to the Government against Dr Nand Kishore.<\/p>\n<p>But look here, instead of issuing suspension order \u00a0in \u201csave Jt Secretary\u201d move, \u00a0AN Tripathi the then another JS, after getting instruction from Navin Kumar, IAS Principal Secretary initiated a note mentioning therein that since draft charge sheet was accompanied by not-certified documents and based on only Xeroxed copies hence , one can not proceed for suspension.<\/p>\n<p>When we approached Navin Singh to explain his views , he informed us that in 3 departmental enquiries, which were conducted for\u00a0 awarding major penalties, and which were subsequently quashed by CAT, were not only done on the strength of Xeroxed copies of documents, but\u00a0 during \u00a0enquiries government informed the enquiry officer that such documents were not available.<\/p>\n<p>Then again <a href=\"http:\/\/cimforest.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Nandkishore-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Navin Kumar, Principal Secretary had written to Chief Secretary <\/a>that since he knew Dr Nand Kishore, who according to him, was sincere, upright and hard working person, and also having unblemished record, that is why he can not do misconduct. Meanwhile Navin Kumar got transferred and he could get a clearance from Chief Secretary to deal this case even after his transfer. [IFS officers this is IAS culture to support service mate]. \u00a0Mr Navin Kumar, every one starts at sometime and at that time his record remains clean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manipulation by back dated note of Principal Secretary, Navin Kumar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Armed with Chief Secretary\u2019s power, <a href=\"http:\/\/cimforest.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Nand-kishore-3.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Navin Kumar had written a note on 26-9-2002<\/a> to clear Dr Nand Kishore by recommending closer of the case. Chief Secretary had given approval on 20-9-2002. Very important point is that Navin Kumar had written a back dated note since he signed on 26<sup>th<\/sup> September and then Chief Secretary signed on 20<sup>th<\/sup> September i.e.\u00a0 six days before.<\/p>\n<p>Later on Minister Forest signed approval on 11-10-2002. It is not clear why file was not sent to Chief Minister since it he, who is incharge minister for All India Services Officers as per Rule of Business of Government of Maharashtra. On 19-10-2002, AN Tripathi Deputy Secretary had authorized to file the case.<\/p>\n<p>Following <a href=\"http:\/\/cimforest.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Nandkishore-4.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">note of the government will show how serious were the charges<\/a> on Dr Nand Kishore. We have also found out <a href=\"http:\/\/cimforest.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Nandkishore-5.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">another draft charge sheet against Dr Nand Kishore<\/a>. On one page one can see signature of Rajendra Mangarulkar , JS.
