Yogesh Sharma & Lotika Khajuria. He also accused them of committing a grave offence by destroying evidence by erasing the signatures of a member from the minutes of the meeting & suppressed the true facts in the Supplementary challan leading to exoneration of these two members of the Purchase Committee II.
Special Judge Anticorruption Jammu Puneet Gupta after gone through the application directed CPO Crime Branch Jammu to file objections on January 22, 2014.
In the application it was submitted that after perusal of Supplementary Challan it came to fore that one member of the Purchase Committee-II namely Yogesh Sharma, Accounts Officer who had replaced Shri. Joginder Sharma, the then Accounts Officer, GMC, Jammu after the technical and financial bids were cleared by the later has been exonerated by the Crime branch in the Supplementary challan also, notwithstanding the fact that he is also a signatory to the minutes of the meeting dated 15/16th June 2012 regarding approval and issuance of the rate contract in respect of the accused firm, & to mislead, his (Yogesh Sharma) signatures have been erased by the crime branch from the minutes of the meeting dated 15/16th June 2012 to save him from criminal liability for malafide reasons & the said mutilated minutes of the meeting being duly attested by the SSP, Crime branch, have been annexed & marked to the Supplementary Challan filed by the Crime branch to hoodwink the rule of law.
A copy of the said minutes of the meeting bearing the signatures of Yogesh Sharma is annexed as Annexure 'a' for ready reference & the applicant prays for production of the original copy of the minutes dated 15/16 June 2012 by the crime branch for comparison. Whereas, on the other hand, the crime branch has falsely implicated the applicant despite his refusal to sign the minutes of meeting of the Purchase Committee-II, which is well borne by record. It was further brought to the notice of this court that another member of the Purchase Committee-II, namely Lotika Khajuria, Dy. Controller Drug & Food Control Organization, Jammu whose name figured at serial no 07, at page no 8 of the charge sheet no:-08/2013 dated 20-06-2013, in the list of the members of the Purchase Committee II, who as per crime branch accepted the tender documents of the firm and approved the rate contract, has now been dropped in the Supplementary Challan by the crime branch on the plea that she was neither a party to the checking /evaluation of the technical bid papers or the firms nor had conducted any scrutiny of the documents, as such, no credible evidence regarding her involvement has been found & she has been given the benefit u/s 169 Cr.PC, notwithstanding the fact that she was very well present in the crucial meeting of the Purchase Committee-II on 15-05-2012 & being a necessary concerned member had also signed the minutes of the meeting of the Purchase Committee-II wherein the decision taken by the committee on 07-05-2012 was also reflected. |
