Leading Newspaper claims to have copy of recent promotion order to cadre of Assistant Commissioner in CBEC
THE Times of India yesterday reported that a whistle blower within the Department has leaked the recent order of the CBEC promoting 110 Superintendents/appraisers as Assistant Commissioners and also that a complaint was filed with the Election Commission that it violates the code of conduct.- http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bangalore/Central-Excise-department-mass-promotion-under-EC-scanner/articleshow/33380875.cms
Times of India claims that it has a copy of the promotion order, apparently leaked by the so-calledwhistle-blower.
The fact is that the order was available on TIOL and also CBEC website on 31st March 2014 and there was no need for anyone to leak it to Times of India - they could have just downloaded it from our site or CBEC's - more than a week ago.
And it is understood that CBEC had kept the Election Commission informed about the promotion.
