Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Nov 7: National Conference-Congress coalition Government has over the years facilitated plum posting of fraudulent bureaucrats who are accused of criminal conspiracy. The people at helm recently transferred a tainted official to a significant position despite fact that he assisted in wrongful payment of undue compensation causing loss worth crores of rupees to the state exchequer.
According to an enquiry report, a copy of which lies with Early Times, the Vigilance Organization Kashmir (VOK) on 16th December 2011 has found that Mukhtar-ul-Aziz under a criminal conspiracy had facilitated wrongful payments of undue compensation to the tune of Rupees one crore in favour of nine beneficiaries, while making payment for non-existing shops in Srinagar city's Khanyar area during land acquisition process when he was Additional Deputy Commissioner Srinagar.
The enquiry report reads that a case of FIR No: 25/2011 u/s 5(2) P.C Act Svt. 2006 and sections 120-B, 420, 467 RPC was registered in P/S VOK on the outcome of the enquiry. The report had strongly advocated against any anticipatory bail to the accused.
Despite having ample evidence against the official, Aziz was placed on vital posts in various state departments all these years. He was recently appointed as Director Information by the Cabinet and just in a week was again transferred and posted as Director Panchayati Raj. This swift transfer created much controversy. Aziz approached the court and managed a stay order on the transfer due to which there are two directors of information department these days.
Sources said that Aziz is a close associate of a senior NC Minister, who has been saving him all these years and has facilitated his posting at a coveted post just ahead of elections.
The Vigilance had submitted its enquiry report before Additional Special Judge, Anti-Corruption Court Kashmir, which says that Mukhtar-ul-Aziz, former Additional Deputy Commissioner Srinagar and T K Sadhu, then Executive Engineer Construction Division had prepared a false and incorrect Task Force Verification report regarding structure No 99/2A and submitted to High Level Committee.
"The two officers have deliberately and fraudulently concealed the correct facts from the High Level Committee and facilitated wrongful payments of undue compensation to the tune of Rs one crore in favour of beneficiaries," it reads.
The report says that the acts of omission and commissions committed by the accused person by indulging in corrupt practices with the official accused has caused loss to the state exchequer which cannot be compensated by way of costs.
The report says that the accused who was absconding since date of lodging of FIR is evading his arrest to thwart the investigation.
"The accused officer is having access to the official records despite the fact that he has been since transferred from that office," reads the report. The report further reads that if the accused is granted immunity from arrest he will definitely influence and win over the important witnesses and destroy the vital evidence of the case.
Despite having such a strong case against the accused official, he was given bail and managed to save himself as he enjoyed the support by senior ruling party Ministers over the years. |
