SRINAGAR: State Vigilance Organisation (SVO) on Wednesday registered a case against the then General Manager DIC Pulwama, Proprietor Mir Steel Rolling Mills and others for misleading the government for illegal sanction of power load.
Vigilance Organisation Kashmir (VOK) has registered a case under Prevention of Corruption Act on outcome of a verification conducted by the agency into the allegations that M/s Mir Steel Rolling Mills IGC Lassipora has blatantly mislead the government for illegal sanction of power load, obtaining sanction for new induction furnace and other equipments on the pretext of obtaining machinery for expansion and modernization of rolling mill, etc.
During verification, it was revealed that the General Manager District Industries Centre Pulwama instead of rejecting the project report with a criminal intent in violation of rules forwarded the case of beneficiary unit holder to the Director Industries and Commerce with a recommendation for favour for further process. Verification has further revealed that General Manager DIC Pulwama namely Jalal-ud-din Ganaie and the field staff in the year 2015 under the garb of processing the project report of the beneficiary unit holder allowed him to install induction furnace in utter violation which has also resulted in the usage/overload of power required for running of the said Induction Furnace. In this way the beneficiary unit holder in active connivance with the officers / officials of DIC Pulwama and Electric Sub Division Pulwama has been running the Induction Furnace by consuming extra and illegal load.
By acting in this manner, the officers/officials of DIC Pulwama and Electric Sub Division have abused their official position and have illegally conferred undue pecuniary advantage upon the beneficiary unit holder thereby causing corresponding loss to the state exchequer.
Accordingly, FIR 15/2016 under Section 5(1)(d) read with 5(2) J&K P.C. Act, Svt. 2006 and 120-B RPC was registered in Police Station Vigilance Organisation Kashmir against Jalal ud din Ganie, the then General Manager DIC Pulwama, Mohammad Yousuf beneficiary and Haji Ghulam Mohi ud din Mir Proprietor Mir Steel Rolling Mills and others.
