Observing that tainted officers cannot be posted to institutions such as the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), the High Court of Karnataka on Monday directed the Chief Secretary to post only those officers having credibility and who can take the ACB to a greater height in preventing corruption in administration and to protect the public interest.
The court also directed the Secretary, Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms (DPAR), to ensure that details regarding service records as well as the integrity of the officers concerned be placed before the Chief Secretary while considering the persons to be posted to the ACB.
Justice H.P. Sandesh issued the direction while noticing negative remarks made in the service records of IPS officer Seemant Kumar Singh, Additional Director General of Police (ACB).
