IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.24919 of 2008 SUKKA ORAON Versus STATE OF BIHAR THRU. VIG. ----------- 2. 7.7.2008 Heard. A bridge was constructed at an estimated cost of Rs.24,43,400/-. The top of the bridge was yet to be laid down ,but the floods came and the entire construction was washed out. The petitioner was the Executive Engineer who was ordained to execute by supervising the construction work and thus to ensure the quality control in the construction of the bridge. The contention is that the petitioner has remained in custody for about four months and that the enquiry report which was submitted after holding an enquiry instituted by the department has found that the total cost had not been spent on it. It is a case under Sections 420, etc IPC and Section 13(2) and 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act. In such matters it is not that what was the cost estimated and what was the cost which was ultimately spent on the construction. The element in such a case could also be that if one is ordained as like the petitioner and one fails in discharging his duty then he could not escape his responsibility. The case appears of that class and considering that the prayer is dismissed. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
