And
In Re : Asis Kumar Tewari
... Petitioner
Mr. Sandipan Ganguly
Mrs. Priyanka Sarkar
Mr. Jisan Iqbal Hossain ... for the Petitioner
Mrs. Amita Gaur
Mr. Prakash Mishra ... for the State
The petitioner is in custody for more than a year and
prays for bail.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the
petitioner is the headmaster of the school and though
allegation against him is that he has given appointment to
the persons concerned on the basis of fake
recommendations, such recommendations were sent to the
District Inspector of Schools and the Managing Committee
who also approved the same. The appointments were made
in 2011 and 2013. In 2022 the petitioner filed a complaint
before the District Inspector of Schools stating that the
recommendation submitted by Abdul Rakib was not in fact
issued in his favour by the Board. A recommendation issued
2
in favour of some other person was used by the job aspirant
to procure the job. The headmaster has no role to play in
confirmation of the appointment of the employees.
Opposing the prayer, learned counsel for the State
submits that the investigation of the cases of similar nature
as the present one was made over to the CID, State of West
Bengal by a coordinate Bench of this Court pursuant to
which the present case is also being investigated by the CID.
Supplementary charge sheet is yet to be submitted upon
completion of further investigation. Sufficient incriminating
material has transpired against the petitioner from the
statement of witnesses recorded in course of further
investigation.
I have considered the material on record which prima
facie implicates the petitioner in the alleged offence.
Investigation is in progress.
In view of the above, prayer for bail is rejected at this
stage.
The application is disposed of.
Case Diary is returned.
Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied
for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all
requisite formalities.
