| Misuse of Rs. 4 lakh token tax | | Challan produced against cashier ARTO Pulwama | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 18- In a misappropriation case amounting to about four lakhs, the State Vigilance Organization today produced challan against Bilal Ahmad Sofi, the then Cashier ARTO Pulwama, in the court of Special Judge Anti-Corruption Kashmir.
Following verification into the allegations that large scale misappropriation of token tax has taken place in the office of ARTO Pulwama during 2007-08 it was established that Bilal Ahmed Sofi the then cashier had misappropriated Rs.3, 81, 770. The accused casher had received token tax of Rs.3, 86,000 from owners of 76 vehicles and Motor Cycles and deposited a meager amount of Rs.4230 in the Government Treasury while one time token tax is charged @ of Rs.6000 for non-commercial vehicles and Rs.4000 for Motor Cycles. He used to give the first folio GR mentioning full amount to vehicle owners and write only Rs.60, Rs.50 and Rs.40 in the counterfoil GRs, thus making it difficult to trace the actual amount received by him.
After receiving sanction for prosecution from the competent authority, challan of the case was produced in the court of law along with the accused, presently on bail under the court orders. December 30th has been fixed for hearing of the case.
