Sanjay Dixit likely to face action for voilating conduct rules
Jaipur: Aug 26, 2011
Rajasthan Principal Secretary (Command Area Development) Sanjay Dixit may soon face action for alleged violation of service conduct rules by holding a post in Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) without required permission.
The Department of Personnel had prepared a charge sheet against Dixit following certain complaints that he was involved with sports associations without prior permission from the central government.
“It was forwarded to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot for approval and he gave his assent to the charge sheet yesterday.
Now the DoP would take further action as per rules,” a source in the CMO said.
The state government informed the state assembly that Dixit had not taken permission from the Centre to hold any position in the RCA.
Dixit was first elected as president of RCA on March 1, 2009 and later became its secretary.
When contacted, Dixit said, “I have not received any notice or letter from the state government in this regard so far. I will certainly reply if I receive any such letter or notice.”
On the other hand, legal tangles between factions of Dixit and C P Joshi, the RCA president, continued with the Rajasthan High Court staying a lower court order which put on hold the decisions of the RCA’s extra-ordinary meeting held at Udaipur last month.
