Early Times Report

Sunderbani, Sept 9: A defaulter license holder of a ration depot at Barnara Panchayat who ran pillar to post to get his license renewed after 12 years of evasion finally got his ration depot license renewed by corrupt means.
Early Times in the issue of April 15, 2015 had already reported under the headline caption "Expecting govt reward, a defaulter trying ill means for license renewal" had carried a news item where the minister for CAPD Zulfkar's quote was also taken saying that the defaulters would not be appeased in any case.
However in a recent development, the court has given stay against Devraj denying him of all rights to sell the ration to the villagers.
Dev Raj resident of Panchayat Nala Makol who procured a CAPD license in the year 2003 did not open the ration shop and kept the license in his possession for 12 long years while the other ration depot holder namely Pushvinder Mahajan catered to the ration needs of the people of the area.
However as per the new government stipulations of 2014, it was moved that all the ration depot holders would be roped in as government employees - an exciting offer that aroused the sense of manipulation in the mind of Dev Raj who moved places to get his ration license validated.
The provisos in the renewal of such licenses say that every ration license had to be renewed before the fall off year and all holders are required to get them renewed on time.
Dev Raj, though being a person in possession of other good business never wanted to get the licence renewed. It was the government stipulation of roping in all as government employees that drew Dev Raj to use his influence in the government, particularly of the BJP MLAs and MP allegedly to get his work done.
However when he approached the CAPD department with a plea to get his license renewed, the CAPD authorities sent a team of officials to his area in Barnara to cross check the position of the ration supply.
It was found that all the people of the area voted in favour of the old practitioner Pushvinder Mahajan for his supply being timely and without any impediments.
The officials gave their report in the CAPD office which again denied Devraj any chance of getting his license renewed through any fraudulent means.
The minister for CAPD Zulfkar Ali when contacted at that time had given a stern reply saying that any attempt by any official department appeasing the defaulter would be taken to task.
"Since there is a clear indication of renewal of the license in the time bound manner, any attempt to forge on any account would be dealt with severity. No license expired beyond one year of its issuance would be renewed," he had said.
But however Dev raj using his influence got the ration depot license validated.
This prompted the 180 ration cards holders of the village who got together and moved the court stating that they do not want to procure the ration from Dev Raj and instead are happy to get it from Pushvinder Mahajan.
The court acting fast has got the stay implemented against Devraj while the villagers have heaved a sigh of relief and expressed their gratitude to the court for bringing stay against Dev Raj.
