Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 24: In a significant move in JKCA scam, court has directed SSP Srinagar to seize the accounts of the Association at per his will.
The direction from court came after a complaint and a preliminary report was filed before court apprehending that the funds in the accounts are being misappropriated.
"Considering the complaint and preliminary report filed by SSP Srinagar, at the onset, it is observed that though the SSP has initiated preliminary inquiry into the allegations, but in case there is apprehension of cognizable offense on the basis of allegations leveled in the complaint, the SSP ought to first lodge FIR and then investigate the matter without any delay with the further direction to freeze the accounts of Association Air Cargo J&K Bank branch SOD 17 at Srinagar and CD 97,J&K Bank branch BC Road, in case any misappropriation is found", court observed.
Earlier, Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kashmir had directed SSP Srinagar to lodge FIR against Moti Lal Nehru, General Secretary JKCA, Arvinder Singh Mickey, Chairman JKCA and Bashir Ahmed, Branch Manager J&K Bank, Air Cargo branch Srinagar for misappropriation of the funds worth lakhs.
Court also directed SSP to get the matter investigated under his supervision with the further direction to file the action taken report in the court before 13 February.
The court's directions came after a complaint in this connection was lodged by one Vivek Sharma, Working Committee member JKCA who leveled various allegations against the trio. In the complaint it was alleged that M L Nehru had misappropriated the funds of the association without recording decision of the body of the office bearers and withdrew huge amount from SOD 17 in criminal connivance with Bashir Ahmed branch manager. SOD 17 was maintained by Air Cargo Branch vide order dated 02-08-2014 as the same was freezed earlier.
The complainant submitted that "the constitution of committees was only a ploy of Nehru and Mickey to defeat the order of this court passed on. 11 -06-2014.", it is further stated that, "The vice-chairman also filed a civil suit before the court of Excise Magistrate Jammu seeking direction for declaring the constitution of these sub committees as null and void and also obtained an interim order whereby the functioning of these committees were stayed on 27-09-2014. The stay is continuing and Nehru and Mickey in violation of this court order as well as violation of order dated 02-08-2014 and order dated 27-09-2014 passed by the Court of Excise Magistrate Jammu."
The duo in order to manipulate money of the association flouted the orders of this Court as well as other courts clandestinely and opened another account in Jammu Wing whereby Rs. 7.00 lakhs were transferred from SOD 17 Air Cargo Branch J&K Bank Srinagar on 14-10-2014 and swindled the funds of the association as there was no necessity of opening of another account as the association was already involved infamous scam for which FIR No. 27/2012 has been registered.
The opening of illegal account at Jammu by the duo was to divert the amount from SOD 17 to newly opened account at Jammu. From the statement of account it is reflected that huge amount has been transferred from the official account which is under scanner. Mickey had been instrumental in siphoning of the funds of the association in one way or other by shifting the camps from Jammu Wing grounds to a private ground i.e. Mayank Goswami Academy and also shifting the camps of Jammu under various age groups to Srinagar on the pretext that the atmosphere in Jammu was not conducive for holding cricket camps. The boys were picked according to their choice without proper selection in order to confer illegal financial benefits by withdrawing the huge amount from the official account of JKCA".
Based on the complaint, court in exercise of power u/s 156(3) directed SSP Srinagar to lodge FIR in this connection and get the investigation done under his supervision. |
