The maintenance of the pass book by the oEcei departmenf’as well as by the petitioner is faulty and erroneous. Accordingly, a letter dated 8.12.2009 (Annexure R/ 1) was sent to the Block Education Omcer, Korba along with details of all the drawals and their voucher numbers, seeking clarincation asto how such Withdrawals were sanctioned and paid to the petiu‘oner against the Rules and without verihcatlon of the exiting balance in the account of the petitioner.
