A random check of 23 works out of a total of 68 repair works revealed that Ghulam Mohammad Bhat, then Executive Engineer in league with other officials of PHE Division Doda, under a conspired plan, drew an amount of Rs.4,57,190 as labour charges and dishonestly misappropriated it. It was found that the accused public servants by abusing their official positions and resorting to falsification of records viz muster sheets, had falsely shown the engagement of labour for execution of works. It was revealed during the course of joint surprise check that the restoration works were carried out by the locals on voluntary basis without receiving any wages. The accused public servants had, therefore, fraudulently and dishonestly, by resorting to manipulation of records, had drawn an amount of Rs.4,57,190 as labour charges when no labour were actually employed by the accused officer for restoration of water works in Hydraulic Circle Doda. |
