To : Prof. S. K. Barua, Director, IIMA 03-Aug-2010

CC : Prof. B. H. Jajoo, CVO, IIMA

From : Ketan Bhatt, Computer Center, IIMA

Sub : My earlier request for administrative review of CVO

appointment

Attachment : My letter dated 09-Jul-2010 to CVO Prof. Jajoo

Respected Sir,

This is in continuing reference to,

� Your letter dated 22-Oct-2008 addressed to the Deputy

Secretary CVC, particularly your assertion that “...there is

nothing against Professor Jajoo which would make him

ineligible for the position of part-time CVO...”,

� “Missing documents” [expressing collective grievances of CC

staff against Prof. Jajoo (as CSC Chair)] which were

destroyed from official records after Prof. Jajoo’s

appointment as Dean AND after my RTI dated 25-Aug-2008, and

were reconstructed ONLY after I produced my copies,

� My email dated 03-Jun-2009 22:37 to yourself requesting

administrative review of your decision to appoint Prof.

Jajoo as CVO, IIMA in view of hitherto “missing documents”,

� Your letter dated 10-Jun-2009 wherein you took offense to a

mere request for administrative review of your decision.

Particularly your assertion that “...there is nothing in

these (missing documents) communications which would make

Prof. Jajoo ineligible for the position of part-time CVO...”

� My reply letter dated 15-Jun-2009,

� Your letter dated 19-Jun-2009. Particularly your assertion

that missing documents “...are entirely irrelevant for

appointment of Prof Jajoo as CVO...” and that “...CVO is not

a position for staff grievance redressal...”,

Director had instructed his staff NOT to acknowledge my letter.An "employee" was forced to use SpeedPost to communicatewith his own Director!! :-( Proof at the end of this document.

Today, through this letter I revisit the issue of appointment

of Prof. Jajoo as Dean+CVO. I beg to draw your kind attention

to some more documents to impress my original apprehensions

regarding Prof. Jajoo assuming powerful position of Dean+CVO,

and how appointment of such a prejudiced person compromised my

fundamental right to employment. I also wish to write to our

BoG on larger issues of concern to lay citizenry.

1. First ever vigilance complaint (in the history of IIMA)

dated 28-May-2009 AND,

a. CVO letters dated 24-Jun-2009, 14-Aug-2009, 23-Apr-2010

assert that it is the “case of a complaint of grave

nature implying CORRUPTION1 AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL of IIM.

But he has failed to order inquiry in to the complaint.

On the contrary CVO letters expected me (an employee) to

gather evidences, failing which he also threatened

coercive actions against me,

b. My response letter dated 03-Jul-2009 to CVO,

c. Email dated 28-May-2010 08:12 addressed to CVO and the

fact that even after more than 12 months, there was

ABSOLUTE lack of CVO response to the first ever

vigilance complaint (in the history of IIMA),

d. Email dated 06-Jun-2010 21:15 “Urgent Vigilance Matter :

Request your intervention on priority basis” received by

YOU (Director). The email elaborated on how CVO has been

dodging inquiry in to the vigilance complaint. And your

absolute lack of response to the same,

e. Kindly peruse attached copy of my letter dated 09-Jul-

2010 to our CVO Prof. Jajoo.

2. Humble request for kind attention :

a. My email to YOU dated 04-Mar-2009 19:55 which betray

grave violation of trust that your workforce places in

senior officials (including CVO) of faculty cadre. I

also wrote you that these violations pose potent threat

to “my right of fair and equitable employment”,

b. This email was my desperate effort to seek some relief

from prejudiced and vindictive administration. I even

offered to submit myself for forensic tests along with

other parties involved. But you did NOT relent from

vindictive positions taken by Dean+CVO, CSC Chair & CAO,

c. I even followed-up this email by several reminders due

to lack of response from your side. Strange,

3. Ambiguity in my evaluation hierarchy :

a. Please refer to para#4 (“My probation period”) in my

attached letter of 09-Jul-2010 to CVO.

b. Your reference to this issue of my probation period, in

your letter of 13-Aug-2009 wherein you removed Prof.

Jajoo as my top evaluating authority and designated CSC

Chair as my top evaluating authority,

c. However, CSC Chair declined such an arrangement by

immediately writing you a letter. This left, to my

disadvantage, a wide limbo in my evaluating hierarchy,

d. My emails to you dated 07-Jan-2010 19:22, 02-Mar-2010

18:27 and 22-Jun-2010 17:31 requested clarifications on

ambiguity regarding my “evaluating hierarchy”. And

absolute lack of response from your side. Strange,

Sir, attached letter (09-Jul-2010) to CVO along with above

discussion reveals ‘conflict of interest’ when Prof. Jajoo (ex

CSC/CISG Chair) is NOW holding powerful position of CVO+Dean.

It also thoroughly establishes strong linkage between,

�

�

�


� Prejudices at vigilance administration (CVO)

� Prejudices at academic administration (CSC/ RSDEC),

� Prejudices at general administration (CAO)

*****AND*****

� RTI revelations exposing vigilance, academic and general

administration,

� Blatant abuse of office and moral turpitude by our TOP

MANAGEMENT,

� Tragic evaluation of my probation period by present CVO+Dean

Prof. Jajoo, and its nullification by competent authority,

� Flip-flops in eligibility criteria in recruitment,

� Documents which went missing after my first RTI,

� Power-grid and allegations of corruption,

Thus, incumbent CVO does have strong bearing on entire

administrative (academic as well as general) machinery. And

that prejudices carried by incumbent CVO do percolate down

deep & wide across WHOLE institute to hound ‘whistleblower’.

I feel your action to appoint Prof. Jajoo to powerful position

of CVO+Dean has compromised me to an authority which remains

deeply prejudiced and poses potent threat to my employment.

Prayer :

Through your esteemed office I beg to seek release of my

“right to fair and equitable employment opportunity”, which I

feel institute has denied me. Kindly do the needful.

Thanks.

Sincerely,
