ARSAl-AN, JOINT FINANCE OFFICER (PRESENTLY UNDER SUSPENSION), Al..IGARH MUSl..IM UNIVERSITY IN THE UGHT OF l-ETTER DATED 23.10.2018 FROM MR. AKHIl- KAUSHIK, CBI, SPE, ACB, DEHRADUN.

TheRegistrar read out the letter No.D/DE/3847 dated 29.01.2019sent by the University in compliance with the decision of the Executive Council dated 19.01.2019which was accompaniedwith the commentsand observations received from the membersof the Executive CounciI as per the decisionof the Executive Council, for obtaining the legal opinion from Justice V.K. Gupta, Chief Justice (Retd.) Hon'bleHigh Court of Jharkhand, HimachalPradeshand Uttarakhand. The Registrar apprised the house about the following issues transpired from the commentsand observationsof the membersof the Executive Councilwhich were alsosent for legalopinion.

(a) Whether Section 13 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, where nature of offence of criminal misconduct stipulated, is applicable in the instant matter.

(b) Section 19 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 can protect the bold and beneficial decisions taken by public servants. Whether the matter in question could be covered under above Section 19 of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.

(c) Please refer to the views given by the EC members in which they have given reference to Association of Indian Universities letter No. EV/II(56-A/83 dated 20.03.1984and letter No. Acad-D-146-NG dated 12.05.1988. In the above background can we conclude that degree of CA be treated as equivalent to Post Graduate Degree for the purpose of employment or only for admission in Ph.D. course.

(d) Whether all employees in this instant matter are protected under Section 40 of AMU Act, 1920.

(e) Whether it will be appropriate on the part of University to grant prosecution sanction to CBI at this stage in the light of the orders passed by the Hon'ble Uttarakhand High Court in Writ Petition (Criminal) No. 61 of 2018 (Shri Shakeb Arsalan Vs. State of Uttarakhand) &WPCRLNo.105of 2018with CRLMANo.960of 2018.

The Registrar read out the legal opinionobtained from Justice

V.K.

Gupta former Chief Justice (Retd.) Hon'ble High

Court

of Jharkhand, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand which is as fo"ows:-

~ I have very carefully gone through the aforesaid communication of the CBI dated 23/10/2018 as also all the documents appended therewith.

I've alsogone through the relevant provisions of law and notifications on the subject.

Sanction for prosecution has been sought under section 19of the aforesaid 1988 Act for offences under Sec 420 of IPC read with section 120 Band the above quoted provisions of the Prevention of CorruptionAct against the aforesaid four persons, namely Mr. Arsalan, Mrs Beg, Mr. Nazim Ali and Mr.

Naseem Ahmad.

Tosay the least, I'm surprised as to why in this case any FIR was registered in the first place and why has the CSI requested for grant of sanction for prosecution of the aforesaid 4persons. Yes, it is a fact that Mr. Arsalan could be treated as not having possessed requisite qualification with the requisite number of marks and the requisite experience. One can take such a view. It could of course be a debatable issue whether his qualification of being a chartered accountant could be equated as being a postgraduate qualification (for the purposes of obtaining employment) but undoubtedly Mr. Arsalan did not possess the requisite marks of 55%or equivalent and he also dId not have the prescribed, desired experience and despite all this, Mrs. Beg recommended his name for being included in the list of eligible candidates for being called for interview and for consideration for appointment. The note prepared by Mrs. Beg was approved by the then FinanceOfficer, the then Registrar and the then Vice-Chancellor.

The question, primary and most importantly, which arises for consideration in this matter is whether any motive has been artributed to Mrs. Beg or other persons. CBI's note and the accompanyingdocuments do not at all suggest that there is any allegation against anyone of the aforesaid 4 persons that they obtained any valuable thing or pecuniary advantage by corrupt or illegal means in recommending the name of Mr. Arsalan for consideration. Since sanction is being sought under clause (d) of sub-section (1) of section13of the Prevention of CorruptionAct, criminalintent or what we call means rea in criminal jurisprudence is a sine qua non to the commission of any offence under the aforesaid provision of law. It is a cardinalprinciple of criminaljurisprudence relating to the law of corruption that the person accused has to be alleged by the prosecution that he, either by corrupt or illegalmeans or by abusing his position as a public servant or while holdingoffice as a public servant obtains for himself or for any other person any valuablething or pecuniary advantage without any public interest.

The entire saga of events in this case clearly suggests that neither Mrs. Beg nor the then vice-Chancellornor the then Registrar are being accused by the CBI of having obtained any valuablething or any pecuniary advantage either for themselves or for any other person. The worst that can be said about Mrs. Beg is that she accorded undue favour to Mr. Arsalan in the matter of his eligibtlity consideration. Interestingly, very interestingly CBI itself in

the aforesaid communicationdated 23/10/2018 in para15at page 18has Contd. on next page

accused the aforesaid 4persons of showing "unduefavour" to Mr. Arsalan.

An allegationof showing any undue favour in the matter of appointment to a pabltc service cannot attract any element of criminality by itself and even if it is held and proved beyond an iota of doubt that the accused showed undue favour, but without any further charge or evidence of means rea, corrupt or illegalmeans and obtaining any valuable thing or any pecuniary advantage, it cannot be pleaded that such a person has committed any offence of.

corruption. If Mrs. Beg is perceived to have shown undue favour to Mr.

Arsalan, (of which there is no direct evidence, since in the entire investigation it has not been brought out that Mrs. Beg and Mr. Arsalan were in any manner related to each other or even knew each other or had any contact with each other) and if the University ever thought that she should be proceeded against administratively, the only course of action available wouldbe to proceed against her administratively but no criminalaction can be taken against anyone based on the aforesaid

I have very carefully gone through section 420 of IPCas a/so Sec. 415IPC which defines cheating and find myself totally unable to even comprehend as to how this section is attracted to the facts of the present case. There is simply no case made out of the offence of cheating in the facts of this case.

It is simply bizarre even to think about it. Since the main offences either under the Prevention of Corruption Act or under IPC are not made out against the accused persons, any charge under section 120 B IPC is out of question.

Based upon my aforesaid reasoning I'm of the opinion that since the aforesaid charges are not made out against the aforesaid 4 persons, the University should decline the request of CBI for grant of sanction for prosecuting these persons under the aforesaid provisions of law.

In view of the aforesaid exposition of law and comprehensive nature of this opinion,I do not feel any necessity of answering individuallyand separately the question posed to me at points (a) to (e) of para 5of the ''Note for Opinion"

This opinionis being rendered ex-parte at New Delhi on this the 4th day of February, 2019.

Sd/-

(ChiefJusticeV.K.Gupta) (Retd) The following resolution was read, approved and confirmed by the Executive Councilunanimously:-

The Executive Councilin its special meeting held on 25.02.2019under Item No.1 considered the legal opinion dated 04.02.2019 obtained by the University and decided the Item No.1 of special meeting of the Executive Council held on 19.01.2019which relates to the matter regarding sanctionfor prosecutionagainst Prof. Nazim Ali, the then Registrar, Mrs. Yasmeen.TalalBeg,.TointFinanceOfficer the then DeputyFinanceOfficer and Mr. ShakaibArsalan,.TointFinanceOfficer in the light of letter No. 371O/RC0072018A0001CBIACB/Dehradundated 23.10.2018 from Mr. Akhil Kaushik,'CBISPE,Dehradun( letter without enclosures-Appendix-I).

In continuation, the previous special meeting of Executive Council held on

19.01.2019,alsodecidedto obtain legalopinionin the matter. Accordingly,the legal opinion has been obtained in the matter from Justice V. K. Gupta Chief Justice (Retd.) Hon'ble High Court of Jharkhand, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand (Appendix-II).

The ExecutiveCouncilon the abovematter resolvedas under:-

1. Sanction for prosecution has been sought under section 19 of the aforesaid 1988Act for offences under Section420 of IPC read with Section 120B and above quoted provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act against the aforesaid persons namely Mr. ShakaibArsalan,Mrs. YasmeenJalal BegandProf. NazimAli.

2. By studying the CBI note and other accompanyingdocumentswhich do not suggest any allegations of obtaining any valuable thing or pecuniaryadvantageby corrupt and illegal meansin recommending the nameof Mr. ShakaibArsalan for the post of Assistant Finance Officer. These charges have not been proved by the CBI itself in any manner against Prof. Nazim Ali, Mrs. YasmeenJalal Beg and Mr. ShakaibArsalan.

3. To prove a criminal act, it is important to link it with the motivei.e, as mentionedin the Preventionof Corruption Act Section 13(1)(d),a public servant obtains for himself or any other personany valuable thing or pecuniaryadvantagewithout any public interest. This has not been proved by the documents presented by CBI to the appointingauthority i.e,ExecutiveCouncil,A.M.U.

4. Even if it is considered beyond doubt that appointment of Mr. ShakaibArsalan is done by showingunduefavour, as suggested by CBI, but without any further charge or evidence of corrupt motive or illegal meansfor obtainingany valuablething or pecuniary advantage.In such situations without any established motive, it cannot be said that a person has committed any offence of corruption.

5. By studying the documentspresented by CBI it is difficult to come to the conclusionas how a valuablesecurity has been altered or destroyed. Thus it cannotbe concludedthat Section 420 and 120(b) of IPCcouldbe appliedto the said matter.

In view of the above paras and in view of the legal references, the Executive Councilhas cometo the conclusionthat the University should decline the request of CBI for grant of sanctionfor prosecutingProf. Nazim Ali, Mrs. YasmeenJalal BegandMr. ShakaibArsalanunder the aforesaid provisionsof Law.

In Re: legal opinion sought by the Registrar, Aligarh Muslim University with respect to according of

sanction for prosecution.

Registrar, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU

1

vide his letter no D/DE/3847 dated 29/01/2019 has sought my legal opinion with respect to an issue relating to and arising out of the request of CBIto accord sanction for prosecution against 4 officials ( two out of whom have since gone out of service) of the

University under Section 120B r/w Sec420 IPCand Section 13 (2) read with Section 13 (1) (d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The sanction has been sought in terms of Sec 19 of the aforesaid 1988 Act.

Vide the aforesaid communication dated 29/01/2019, the Registrar has sent to me a copy of letter no.

3710/RC0072018A0001CBIACB/Dehradundated 23/10/2018 from head of branch, CBI/SPE/Dehradun in which the.CBI after detailing the facts of the case has requested for the grant of sanction for prosecution

under the aforesaid provisions of law.

The whole controversy arose consequent upon the appointment of Mr Shakaib Arsalan as Assistant Finance Officer in the University. Apparently, an advertisement was issued for filling up the posts of assistant finance officers and deputy finance officers in AMU and various candidates had applied pursuant to the said advertisement. In the said advertisement the essential qualification prescribed for being eligible for aforesaid appointment to the posts of assistant finance officer was a postgraduate degree with at least 55% marks or its equivalent grade and 5 years administrative experience as section officer or in an equivalent post in any academic institution/government office/public undertaking.

Advertisement No. 1/2004 dated 01/01/2004 was thus issued by the University vide which vacancies for 128 categories of teaching, non-teaching, technical, medicine etc, including assistant finance officers were notified for being filled up from amongst eligible candidates who would apply pursuant to the aforesaid advertisement notice. As indicated hereinabove, for the post of assistant finance officer, the aforesaid qualifications and experience were prescribed with which alone I am concerned while rendering this opinion. A total number of 22 candidates had applied for the posts of assistant finance officer which included Mr ShakaibArsalan. An eligibility list of 9 candidates out of the aforesaid 22 applicants was prepared which met with the eligibility criteria. The name of Mr Arsalan was not included in this eligibility list since as per the eligibility criteria in the assessmentof the selection committee Mr Arsalan did not fulfil the eligibility criteria. Apparently aggrieved by his exclusion from the list of eligible candidates Mr Arsalan made a representation to the University. His grievance was that his qualification of chartered accountant was equivalent to M.Com ( a postgraduate qualification) and therefore he considered himself as an eligible candidate for selection for the aforesaid post of assistant finance officer. It is also an admitted fact that Mr Arsalan even while holding the qualification of a chartered accountant, in the examination of chartered accountant had not obtained 55% marks or its equivalent grade and had obtained only 52.1% marks.

It is at this stage that the role of Mrs YasminJalal Beg comes into play. Mrs Beg at the relevant time was working as deputy finance officer in the University and as per the CBI she, not caring and not bothering about the notes written earlier by various staff members of the University Selection Committee prepared an unsolicited note on February 02, 2005 recommending the name of Mr Arsalan for being called for interview. This note has been quoted verbatim by the CBIin the aforesaid communication dated 23/10/2018 ( please see para 10.21 at page 9 ). Mrs Beg obtained the approval of Mr S A H Kazmi, then deputy finance officer who was also holding the additional charge of the post of

-\\-

finance officer. Sheafter obtaining the approval of Mr Nazim Ali, the then Registrar forwarded the file to

Mr Naseem Ahmad lAS,the then Vice Chancellor of the University who approved the note! proposal of Mrs Beg.

Finally, Mr Arsalan was actually called for interview and the selection committee selected him along with 2 other persons and recommended his'name for appointment as assistant finance officer, being No.

3 in order of'merit. Mr NaseemAhmad in his capacity asthe Vice Chancellor approved the selection of Mr Arsalan and Mr Arsalanjoined the University as assistant finance officer on 04/02/2005 and

presently he continues to work in the University on the post of joint finance officer.

/ I have very carefully gone through the aforesaid communication of the CBIdated 23/10/2018 as also all the documents appended therewith. I've also gone through the relevant provisions of law and

notifications on the subject.

Sanction for prosecution has been sought under section 19 of the aforesaid 1988 Act for offences under Sec420of IPCread with section120B and the above quoted provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act against the aforesaid four persons, namely Mr Arsala,., Mrs Beg, Mr Nazim Ali and Mr Naseem Ahmad.

To say the least, I'm surprised as to why in this caseany FIRwas registered in the first place and why has the CBIrequested for grant of sanction for prosecution of the aforesaid 4 persons. Yes,it is a fact that Mr Arsalan could be treated as not having possessedrequisite qualification with the requisite number of marks and the requisite experience. One can take such a view. It could of course be a debatable issue whether his qualification of being a chartered accountant could be equated as being a postgraduate qualification (for the purposes of obtaining employment) but undoubtedly Mr Arsalan did not possess the requisite marks of 55% or equivalent and he also did not have the prescribed, desired experience and despite all this, Mrs Beg recommended his name for being included in the list of eligible candidates for being called for interview and for consideration for appointment. The note prepared by Mrs Beg was approved by the then Financeofficer, the then Registrar and the then Vice Chancellor.

The question, primary and most importantly, which arises for consideration in this matter is whether any motive has been attributed to Mrs Beg or other persons. CBl's note and the accompanying documents do not at all suggest that there is any allegation against anyone of the aforesaid 4 persons that they obtalned any valuable thing or pecuniary advantage by corrupt or illegal means in recommending the name of Mr Arsalan for consideration. Sincesanction is being sought under clause (d) of sub-section (1) of section 13 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, criminal intent or what we call mens rea in criminal jurisprudence is a sine qua non to the commission of any offence under the aforesaid provision of law. It is a cardinal principle of criminal jurisprudence relating to the law of corruption that the person accused hasto be alleged by the prosecution that he, either by corrupt or illegal means or by abusing his position as a public servant or while holding office as a public servant obtains for himself or for any other person any valuable thing or pecuniary advantage without any public interest. The entire sagaof events in this case clearly suggeststhat neither Mrs Beg nor the then Vice Chancellor nor the then Registrar are being accused by the CBIof having obtained any valuable thing or any pecuniary advantage either for themselves or for any other person. The worst that can be said about Mrs Beg is that she accorded undue favour to Mr Arsalan in the matter of his eligibility consideration. Interestingly, very interestingly CBIitself in the aforesaid communication dated

23/10/2018 in para 15 at page 18 has accused the aforesaid 4 persons of showing ^IIundue favour lito Mr

.~\~-

Arsalan. An allegation of showing any undue favour in the matter of appointment to a public service cannot attract any element of criminality by itself and even if it is held and proved beyond an iota of doubt that the accusedshowed unduefavour, but without any further charge or evidence of mens rea, corrupt or illegal means and obtaining any valuable thing or any pecuniary advantage, it cannot be

pleaded that such a person has committed any offence of corruption. If Mrs Beg is perceived to have shown undue favour to Mr Arsalan, ( of which there is no direct evidence, since in the entire

investigation it has not been brought out that Mrs Begand Mr Arsalan were in any manner related to each other or even knew each other or had any contact with each other) and if the University ever thought that she should be proceeded against administratively, the only course of action available would be to proceed against her adminstratively but no criminal action can be taken against anyone basedon the aforesaid.

It is simply bizarre even to think about it. Sincethe main offences either under the

Prevention of Corruption Act or under IPCare not made out against the accused persons, any charge under section 120 B IPCis out of question.

Basedupon my aforesaid reasoning I'm of the opinion that since the aforesaid charges are not made out against the aforesaid 4 persons, the University should decline the request of CBIfor grant of sanction for prosecuting these persons under the aforesaid provisions of law.

This opinion is being rendered ex-parte at New Delhi on this the ^4thday of February, 201 .
