IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.40773 of 2008 MD.RAJJAK Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 23.10.2008 Heard Sri Ram Sumiran Rai, Advocate for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. Some railway properties were being carried by a Thela. That was intercepted. The Thelawala stated that it was this petitioner who was pushing it up, hired the Thela for carrying the properties. The prosecution report was accordingly filed. The attention of the court has been drawn to Annexure-3 which is a report of inspection of the seized properties and if one could peruse the report one could say as to how corrupt an officer can be. In the same report he has stated divergent facts; that-the properties did not come within the jurisdiction of the Inspector of Works; that the same related to other departments or sections of the railways; and that those were quite old and worthless and lastly and most importantly, those were not the railway properties. It is a report of Sri Vinod Kumar Singh, who is the Section - 2 - Engineer, Works, Garhara Railway Yard. If this could be the conduct of a public servant like the Section Engineer, then the railways could be reaping only losses on sale of scrap as the officer could go to any extent in formulating a baseless, collusive and dishonest report which could be damaging to the interest of the railways. As regards the merits of the case, I do not find any merit in the case. The same is dismissed. Let a copy of this order be forwarded to the Divisional Railway Manager, Samastipur for holding an enquiry into the conduct of Sri Vinod Kumar Singh for formulating the report (Annexure-3). Let a copy of this order be also handed over to Sri Dasrath Mehta, learned A.P.P. for information and taking up the matter with the Divisional Railway Manager, Samastipur. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
