Over Rs 36 lakh swindled in CAPD deptt SVC reviews status of VO probes, inquires 4/25/2016 11:07:36 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Apr 25:Stressing for devising an action plan to complete investigations, inquires and verifications in a time bound manner, the state vigilance commission (SVC) has asked the officers of vigilance organisation (VO) to monitor the progress of these cases regularly so that the accused were punished. The direction was issued in a meeting held under the chairmanship of Chief Vigilance Commissioner Kuldeep Khoda here today. The meeting was convened to review the progress of various FIRs, verifications and preliminary inquires being investigated by VO's Udhampur-Doda branch. Various cases, including embezzlement of funds in rural development department, manipulation of revenue records, bunglings in CAPD department and misappropriation of funds in R&B department came up for discussion in the meeting. The director vigilance informed SVC that some cases had been submitted to central office of the organisation by the branch SSP while in other cases he sought more time for concluding investigations. Underlining need for inter-departmental coordination, SVC directed VO officers to expedite investigation of all the cases so that perpetrators were booked and punished under law. Regarding status of embezzlement case in CAPD department, SVC was informed that VO had registered FIR against Bankey Ram and others, who allegedly in league with other officials, had drawn and misappropriated excess amount of Rs 36,89,191.07 on account of loading and unloading carriage charges of excess quota of ration shown issued to the dealers thereby causing wrongful gain to themselves and loss to the state. The case was registered against Bankey Ram, Parshotam Lal, then CAPD storekeepers, and Kuldeep Mohan, then TSO, Udhampur, and investigation was taken up. However, the investigation was stayed by the high court in a case titled Bankey Ram v/s state and others. Emphasising the need for early completion of investigation, SVC said that IOs should utilize the powers vested upon them under Code of Criminal Procedure for taking the matter to its logical conclusion. The commission said that IOs could have the legal proceedings initiated against those officers, who were not cooperating in completion of investigations.
