The Supreme Court has constituted an SIT to probe the alleged misuse of NRHM fund.

KOHIMA: The Supreme Court has directed a panel of three senior IPS officers to probe the alleged misuse of National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) funds by Nagaland and submit a report to the competent court within six months.

A bench of Justices Suryakanth and JK Maheshwari, in its order dated December 6, while hearing a petition filed by social activist Rosemary Dzovichu, said, “The most appropriate course would be to have another S. An IT should be constituted, preferably by direct recruitment, to investigate the allegations and if any substance is found in such allegations, to present a supplementary charge sheet.

The petitioner had alleged that the engineering division of NRHM committed huge amounts of cash against various fictitious works and kickbacks were allegedly paid to senior officials of NRHM.

Senior counsel Colin Gonsalves said, “Instead of helping pregnant or lactating mothers and young children in public health centres, the funds provided by the Government of India were allegedly spent on the purchase of high-end luxury vehicles.” gone”. Stand up for the worker.The apex court maintained that it would be inappropriate for it to comment on the matter as the matter is pending before a competent court where the charge sheet has already been filed.

“This court is not the proper forum to inquire into or reach any logical conclusion regarding the truth of the allegations leveled by the appellant,” the bench said. Similarly, the impartiality, objectivity and fairness of the investigation conducted by the SIT will be considered by the court of competent jurisdiction from time to time.
