CBEC Ombudsman Hrishikesh Sharan gets reprieve in Delhi High Court - Writ Withdrawn
IT seems that Senior Advocate PrashantBhushan and ELT Editor RK Jain had written to the Prime Minister and other Authorities levelling charges of corruption and other malpractices against HrishikeshSharan, Chief Commissioner in CBEC who was tipped for appointment as Ombudsman at Mumbai.
However the Government went ahead with the appointment and Sharan joined as Ombudsman in Mumbai on 31.10.2012.
Thereafter R K Jain filed a writ in the Delhi High Court for Issue of a writ of quo-warranto or any other similar writ or direction against Sharan to remove him from the post of the Indirect Tax Ombudsman, Mumbai.
The Delhi High Court last month dismissed the petition as withdrawn.
