Bombay High Court has appointed a three-member committee to curb the malpractices in Maharashtra Education Department.
Last week, the Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court constituted a three-member committee to ensure that there are no malpractices in the Education Department of the Maharashtra government.
The committee will be headed by former Bombay High Court judge Justice PV Hardas and include Aditi Ekbote, a scientist at NIC-Pune and advocate A B Girase as other members, as reported by Bar and Bench.
A Bench of Justices Ramesh Dhanuka and Sanjay Mehare was hearing Public interest litigation (PIL) filed by Brijmohan Mishra who sought order and direction against the 'State of Maharashtra' for initiating administrative action, including recovering the salary paid to those appointed as against inadmissible posts vis-a-vis criminal action, as reported by India Today.
Committee to ask for suggestions from stakeholders
The court has directed the committee to call for suggestions from all stakeholders and submit a report by the end of July this year recommending remedial measures.
"The Committee is requested to call for the suggestions from the stakeholders including the managements running various schools, parents and teachers, social workers, some of the officers of the Education Department and representatives of the NGOs and submit a report recommending the remedial measures to be taken in the future to curb such alleged malpractices in the Education Department, so as to stop any further diversion of public money by such alleged fraudulent activities," said the court.
