The Madras high court has directed the Tamil Nadu Director General of Police (DGP) to give public announcements on a regular basis informing the public that paying money to secure jobs in government and public sector companies or to secure seats in medical colleges, bypassing official recruitment through middlemen or brokers, would amount to criminal offence, and that such people would be held liable for committing the offence of abetment.
“This court, on a daily basis, is encountering cases of similar nature where it is alleged that money is being collected from innocent people on the false promise of getting a government job or a job in a public sector undertaking or on a false promise of getting a medical seat. It is unfortunate that the persons who are paying money do not understand that jobs or medical seats cannot be purchased, and it has to be secured on merit and based on eligibility and that no one can get such jobs by paying money,” Justice N Anand Venkatesh said.
There is a selection process for every post, and every aspirant has to go through the process to get a job. Similarly, medical seats cannot be procured by paying money. Candidates must write entrance exams like the NEET, and only based on the marks secured in such examination, the seat can be secured by a candidate, the judge added.
Asserting that persons who make such payments are also to be equally blamed, Justice Venkatesh said. “The intention of such persons becomes questionable. It is not as if, in every case, the person who makes the payment is innocent and they know that they are trying to knock off a job or a seat by indirect means. This attitude needs to be curtailed.”
This can be curbed only by bringing awareness to the public that no one can secure jobs or seats in colleges by mere payment of money. This message has to reach the nook and corner of every place in this state. Till this happens, complaints of this nature are going to continue, the court said.
Justice Venkatesh made the observations while granting bail to Atrinbosco, a resident of Namakkal who was arrested for allegedly duping many persons to the tune of ₹20 lakh promising to provide jobs.
