BOPEE notice to 4 more MBBS students SRINAGAR, July 7: The Board of Professional Entrance Examination (BOPEE) has issued a notice to four MBBS students of Kashmir valley who allegedly got admission through malpractices during the Common Entrance Test (CET) conducted in 2012. Under Secretary J&K BOPEE Zahoor Ahmad Butt in the notice issued to Beenih Bhat, Mansha, Mehak Hameed and Mehvish Bashir directed them to reply within seven days from today. He said if the candidates failed to reply within seven days from today it shall be presumed that they have nothing to say in their defence and action under rules shall be initiated against them. He said CET was conducted on June 23 and 24, 2012 by BOPEE, for selection of candidates for admission to MBBS, BDS, BE-Engineering, BVSc, BSc Agriculture, BAMS, BUMS Courses in Government and Private Professional Colleges and Institutions. The result was declared on June 29, 2012 and selection on the basis of inter-se-merit of candidates rank-wise was notified on June 29, 2012 itself. “You were selected for admission to MBBS Course in Government Medical College (GMC), Srinagar and pursuant to this selection and admission you are pursuing the course at present,” the notice said. However, the Jammu and Kashmir High Court at Srinagar took suomoto action in respect of alleged malpractice in the conduct of examination which led to registration of Public Interest Litigation (PIL) titled Court on its motion versus State and others and directions to the Crime Branch (CB), Kashmir to investigate alleged malpractice in CET 2012 conducted by BOPEE. The CB registered FIR under Sections 420, 120- B, RPC 5 (2) PC Act, against the then Chairman of BOPEE Mushtaq Ahmad Peer for his nefarious activities in conduct of examination. The Court vide its order dated February 3, 2014 directed the CB to communicate to the concerned authorities, including BOPEE, about the development of the investigation of the case to enable them to take appropriate action as permissible under applicable rules. The CB reported that “you have managed your selection for undertaking MBBS course and figured in the selection lists of 2012 on basis of illegal and fraudulent means by obtaining access to question papers in advance on payment of illegal gratification.” The CB recommended to the BOPEE to take appropriate action against you as permissible under applicable rules. Now before taking any action, which may even include cancellation of your admission for undertaking the course, you are provided an opportunity to explain your position in writing and signed in this regard within seven days from today, failing which it shall be presumed that you have nothing to say in this matter, the notice said.
