The accused public servants being non-technical prepared estimates and conducted test check of works and also deliberately did not choose to refer the matter to Executing Agency, despite the fact that the public servants had no financial authority to get these works executed.
During verification, spot inspection and perusal of documents revealed that the public servants in order to bestow undue pecuniary advantage upon the contractor have released excess payment in respect of above referred works of Rs. 1,32,265/- on account of inflated X-Section i.e. width and heights and an amount of Rs. 1,48,187/- on account of inflated measurement against actual and existing measurement on spot.
