The Panchayat Secretary, Gram Panchayat, Lakhna, Block – Punpun, District – Patna. ----------- 02. 7.7.2011 This is a case where the Hon`ble Minister has inspected the centre in question along with a team of officials. Such an exercise has been carried out because of reports of large scale irregularities brought to the notice of the Hon`ble Supreme Court, which has been monitoring the issue very closely. Bihar is also one of the States on which the Hon`ble Supreme Court has commented and, therefore, this exercise was carried out as a trickle down effect after the State was pulled up in the implementation of such projects. If anomalies had been found, action or quick response was the need of the day. Such matter does not require a detailed enquiry or investigation of the kind which the petitioner is looking for. 2 The explanation offered that petitioner had to offer bribes to the people up the line and therefore, she was not in a position to distribute the ration to the extent which the target group is entitled to receive may not be an answer for the discrepancy found on the centre. Writ is dismissed since there is acceptance of the allegations and the explanation does not take away the culpability. Exceptional situations require an exceptional remedy at times. A quick decision or remedial action by itself need not be an arbitrary act. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
