HC expresses displeasure over CBI director's failure to submit probe report on teacher selection

On the failure of the CBI director to furnish the progress report pursuant to its earlier order asking him to hold a probe in connection with the selection procedure pertaining to 68,500 assistant basic teachers in Uttar Pradesh, the Allahabad High court has expressed displeasure over the dilly-dallying attitude of the central agency.

The Lucknow bench of the court, in its order, Monday said, "The CBI director holds a very responsible post. He should understand the seriousness of the order passed by this court and act promptly to serve the nation in these serious matters."
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) counsel Bireshwar Nath told the court, "The CBI director is not able to decide as to which branch of the agency will investigate the issue involved in the recruitment process of assistant teachers in 2018."
