It reads : “ Competent authority have directed to assign additional charge of director IIM @-@ L to Prof Srivastava for a period of six months with effect from 09 @-@ 09 @-@ 2014 or till appointment of regular director or until further order , whichever is earliest . ” The institute did not execute the order and incumbent director Devi Singh who completed his six months of extension period , on September 8 did not leave office even after receiving the letter . As a result , there was complete confusion at IIM @-@ L campus for almost a week . The allegations against Devi Singh , who served two term as director of IIM @-@ L , ranges from nepotism to mismanagement of accounts . The Central Vigilance Commission also asked the HRD ministry to `re investigate ' allegations of corruption against Devi Singh . In a letter to the higher education secretary , CVC secretary KS Ramasubban has asked the ministry as to why the case against Singh is being closed when specific allegations have not been answered . The CVC has taken exception to the fact that the case is being closed on the basis of an " emotional reply " by Singh . CVC sources said the ministry had taken Singh 's reply as final . " Without investigation how can general comments be taken as the final word ? " a CVC official asked . CVC sources also said that the institute 's Board of Governors had rejected allegations against Singh . " This is not how an investigation is conducted , " the CVC official said , adding that the HRD ministry was to be blamed for not following the procedure .
