Hyderabad, Dec 2 : The Hyderabad Bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal on Thursday granted 10 days time to state government to put forward its views on the appointment of Mr. K. Aravinda Rao as the director-general of police. Mr J. Sudheer, counsel for Mr P. Gautam Kumar, principal secretary to the home department, who challenged the appointment of Mr Aravinda Rao, alleged that the government is indulging in perjury by misleading the judiciary in furnishing facts pertaining to the appointment of Mr Rao.
The bench comprising members Ms Bharati Ray and Mr. R Santhanam was hearing the arguments on the petition filed by Mr. Gautam Kumar. The counsel said even after the Centre’s cadre review that raised the number of DG rank officers in the state to six from the earlier four, the state went ahead and promoted seven persons to the DG rank unlawfully. He told the tribunal that the cadre review was done in June 2010 and two posts fell vacant in September, but the state promoted seven persons to the DG cadre in May 2010 itself when there were no posts at all.
