BENGALURU: The high court on Monday said before posting an officer to an institution which is established to prevent corruption, the chief secretary (CS) has to consider that the said officer has credibility and the capacity to helm the institution and take it to great heights.
Justice HP Sandesh gave this direction while hearing a bail petition filed by an accused in the Bengaluru Urban DC office bribery case. “While posting the officer to helm the institution to fight and prevent corruption i.e., ACB, the secretary to DPAR should also provide all materials (service records) to the chief secretary vis-a-vis integrity of the officer,” the judge said in his order.
