In a fresh affidavit to the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), former AIIMS chief vigilance officer (CVO) Sanjiv Chaturvedi has accused the Appointments Committee of Cabinet (ACC), headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, of dealing with his case of inter-cadre deputation to the Delhi government in a partisan and biased manner.
“The main reason for pendency of the proposal of inter-cadre deputation of the applicant for more than one year, despite fulfilling all the eligibility conditions by the applicant and concurrence of both the state governments being on record, and despite favourable conditions from this tribunal is that, right from the beginning the case was dealt in a partisan and biased manner, by the Appointments Committee of Cabinet headed by the Prime Minister and the concerned Union ministers,” the officer said in the affidavit.
The Indian Forest Service officer also annexed a document dated August 23, 2014, addressed by Luv Verma, the then Union health secretary to Niprendra Mishra, principal secretary to the Prime Minister, which reads: “The Prime Minister of India had a telephonic discussion with the Union minister of health and family welfare regarding relieving of additional charge of CVO AIIMS, New Delhi from Shri Sanjiv Chaturvedi, DS, AIIMS, New Delhi. A detailed note in this regard is submitted for perusal of the Prime Minister.”
These documents are part of affidavit filed by the officer in CAT regarding his case of inter-cadre deputation to the Delhi government which is hanging fire for the past one year.
The Delhi government led by chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had written to the Centre to depute Mr Chaturvedi as an officer on special duty (OSD) in the Delhi chief minister’s office.
