"The chargesheet against Chaturvedi has been quashed. There is the other issue of inquiry into the misuse of funds by the Haryana government. I am still examining the issue and we will soon arrive at a final decision," Jairam said on the sidelines of a function when asked about Haryana government's demand.
The Union cabinet secretary had formed a two-member panel after President Pratibha Patil received a complaint from Chaturvedi alleging that he was being harassed by the state`s Congress government for taking action against violators of Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 and those who misused funds meant for forest-related activities.
Chaturvedi's suspension was revoked by the President in January following submission of the report by the committee headed by inspector general of forests AK Shrivastava and AIG Shally Ranjan. The report had termed the charges against Chaturvedi as "fabricated". Read the full report here.
