Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had written to union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar on February 16, seeking the services of Indian Forest Service Officer Sanjiv Chaturvedi as officer on special duty in his office.
The proposal was pending with the ministry of environment and forests, the cadre-controlling ministry of the officer, till May. On June 2, a no-objection certificate from the health ministry was sought.
Nothing could be decided on the issue even after letters were exchanged between the health ministry, Ministry of Environment and Forests or MoEF, department of personnel and training and All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi.
On October 7, the officer approached CAT which ordered the MoEF on October 16 to complete the processing of all NOCs by November 6.
Mr Chaturvedi, a 2002 batch IFS officer, was removed as chief vigilance officer of AIIMS in August 2014, two years before the completion of his tenure.
He continues to be the Deputy Secretary at AIIMS, and recently wrote to Cabinet Secretary PK Sinha about allocation of official work.
