Delhi HC Notice to AIIMS over Former official's perjury allegations
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has sought the response of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) regarding a plea filed by its former chief vigilance officer (CVO), who has accused the institution of perjury in an ongoing legal dispute.
A bench of Justices C Hari Shankar and Ajay Digpaul issued a notice to AIIMS on Sanjiv Chaturvedi’s petition filed under Section 340 Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), news agency PTI reported.
“Issue notice.. Reply, if any, be filed within four weeks with advance copy to learned counsel for the petitioner who may file rejoinder thereto within four weeks thereof,” said the bench in the order passed on February 24.
The petitioner said AIIMS made “false statements” in its counter affidavit filed on August 17, 2016, in response to his petition related to the “channel” for writing his annual performance appraisal report for the financial year 2014-15.
