The FIR was filed under sections 420 (cheating), 468 (forgery for cheating) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code on the recommendations of Justice (retd) Sachindra Dwivedi committee, which found these appointments as illegal and recommended dismissal of these 17 persons, a senior official said.
The BJP government led by the current home minister Babulal Gaur had set up the committee in 2004-05 to probe the appointments made during the Congress regime from 1993-2003 when Singh was the Chief Minister and Tiwari the Speaker. Its report was submitted in 2006.
The state government then recommended a Central Bureau of Investigation probe but the Central agency declined to take over saying that state agencies were competent enough for the job.
