Chandigarh, April 25 -- The state government on Friday also dismissed under-suspension finance controller of Haryana School Shiksha Pariyojana Parishad (HSSPP), Randhir Singh, from service for his alleged role in misappropriation of government funds in criminal conspiracy with bank officials and other private persons.

"This is a fit case where it is not reasonably practicable to hold a regular departmental enquiry, and the provisions of Article 311(2)(b) of the Constitution deserve to be invoked in the interest of justice, public administration, and safeguarding public funds,'' said the dismissal order. The order said that during the course of ACB investigation, it was found that HSSPP was maintaining a bank account with IDFC First Bank, Sector-32, Chandigarh, in which Randhir Singh was one of the authorised signatories, and his personal mobile number was linked operationally associated with the said account.

These fraudulent transactions have allegedly been made based on call confirmations done by the then IDFC First bank branch manager Ribhav Rishi to Randhir Singh on his mobile number registered for account opening,'' the order said.htc...
