SC asks discharged IAS officer Puja Khedkar to respond to quota misuse charges

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked discharged IAS probationary officer Puja Khedkar to respond by April 15 to the Delhi police’s charges against her of fraudulently availing quota benefits to appear multiple times in the civil services examination. The Supreme Court bench told the Delhi police to take up the investigation “steadfastedly” and questioned them for not calling Khedkar for interrogation despite her willingness to join the probe. Is there a pattern in relation to the certificates she has procured.” Giving an indication to the police that the probe cannot be allowed to linger in, the bench said, “You must take up the investigation steadfastedly.” On Monday, the Delhi police filed an affidavit in the top court giving reasons for opposing the anticipatory bail plea of Khedkar. As the court questioned Khedkar if she had a disability certificate in her school days, her lawyer Bina Madhavan said, “This disability happened over a period of time.” She refuted the charges of the police by adding that merely having a disability certificate is not enough as she had to appear before a medical board comprising reputed doctors from AIIMS to qualify under the disability quota.
