Recently JAKFED officials alleged about misappropriation of whooping amount worth Rs 72.80 lakh in JAKFED when atleast 129 cheques got bounced and concerned Minister still claims his innocence.
According to sources in JAKFED the recent misappropriations/ financial irregularities peeped out from the official records during an departmental inquiry. The shocking revelations were made by Financial Advisor cum Chief Accounts Officer (FA/CAO) during his preliminary inquiry.
If the said inquiry report of FA/CAO is believed, sources said, “ about one hundred twenty nine (129) cheques worth lakhs issued from the JAKFED were bounced.
Alleging some mischief, the sources said the revelation made apparent that a complete series of cheques from S No 1 to S.No 35 were found as ‘bounced’ through a reference to the day book maintained by the accounts section of the said ailing department.
The cheques issued from 1.7.1990 to 12.3.1991 were turned down reasons better known to the issuing authority, sources said, adding, “even no any cash was received against these bounced cheques.”
The cheques were exercised jointly with Mrs Nirmal Haq, Jr Accountant JAKFED” reported FA/CAO in his inquiry.
Sources further added that following the reports of FA/CAO particularly indicated something mischievous, a complaint was lodged with Vigilance Organization Jammu (VOJ) which has started investigation.
“Pertinent to mention here that a similar complaint has earlier, been lodged with Cooperative Minister(Independent Charge) Dr Manohar Lal Sharma by JAKFED employees,” sources within JAKFED said, adding, “but as expected their attempt was responded with a complete silence from the Minister concerned, the reason best known to him.’
Meanwhile, sources with Vigilance Organization confirmed that as per communication with Ref No PS/MO/2011/533-35 by JAKFED authorities it is alleged that Rs 72.80 lakh was misappropriated in the year 1990 and 1991 in the shape of ‘cheques bouncing’.
VOJ sources said as per remarks from FA/CAO which stated: the matter needs to be investigated by an Independent Agencies like Vigilance, observation of FA/CAO are clear indicative of misappropriation, demanding FIR against the guilty.
Further they added Vigilance Organization has received another complaint from JAKFED authorities having ref No PS/MD/2011/700-04 in which it is alleged that JAKFED’s Class IVth employee Zubair Ahmed Tak was illegally regularized as the same was shown absent in record from 2007 to 2008 which caused loss to State ex chequer and in another complaint it is alleged that attached GM, Mr Abrol was appointed on fake documents which needs to be probed.
