CBSE Guwahati Joint Secretary Suspended Amid Legal Controversy

Lakhan Lal Meena, Joint Secretary (Adhoc) and Regional Officer at CBSE Guwahati, faces suspension with immediate effect pending disciplinary proceedings. The order, issued by CBSE Chairperson Nidhi Chibber, cites Rule 9.1 of CBSE Service Rules, 1985. While the specific reasons are undisclosed, Meena is embroiled in legal disputes concerning dowry harassment and assault allegations dating back to 2013. Despite interim relief, a non-bailable warrant issued due to administrative oversight has escalated matters to the Supreme Court. Meena’s suspension underscores the gravity of the allegations and ongoing judicial scrutiny.
