For corruption in regularising services of temporary staff
The Department of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) has filed a case against a former Joint Commissioner of the Department of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment (HR&CE) for allegedly indulging in corruption in regularising services of temporary staff in five temples.
DVAC officials said M. Pugazhendran had served as a Joint Commissioner of HR&CE, Coimbatore region, between November 3, 2011 and January 31, 2013.
Temples
The five temples — Avinasilingeswarar temple in Avinashi, Anumantharaya Swamy temple at Idugampalayam, Arudra Kapaleeswarar temple at Erode, Mariamman Angalamman temple and Ayappa Swamy temple in Pollachi were under his control.
Without obtaining a sanction order from the commissioner of HR&CE, Mr. Pugazhendran issued orders for pay fixation for 46 temporary temple staff who were recruited on the daily wages basis, DVAC officials said.
This was in violation of the rules and regulations of HR&CE. By abusing his official position, he passed orders for the claim of pay arrears and other benefits apart from the regular pay for the above said 46 employees and thereby caused undue pecuniary advantage to them and monetary loss to the tune of Rs. 19.21 lakh to the exchequer, the DVAC charged.
