*** Loss of Public Money in the ‘Delhi Store** Sub-Division Embezzlement Case’
- Mr. Ahmed E. H. Jaffer: (a) Will the Honourable the Labour Member please give the approximate amount of loss of public money in the ‘ Delhi Store Sub-Division Embezzlement Case ?
(b) Who were the culprits, and what action has so far been taken to bring them to book ?
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : (a) There is no such case as “Delhi Store Sub-Division Embezzlement Case”. If the Honourable Member has in mind the case of alleged over payment in cartage of cement in Stores Sub-Division under Construction Division No. I, I can inform him that the matter is under investigation.
(b) Does not arise.
Mr. Ahmed E. H. Jaffer : Is it a fact that the S. D. O. in question who embezzled two lakhs is still in service ?
Mr. President: Order, order. The Honourable Member has already stated that there was no embezzlement
Mr. Ahmed E. H. Jaffer: I entirely agree with the Honourable Member’s reply. The point which he refers to is the same that a sum of two lakhs was overpaid.
Mr. President: My point is that the Honourable Member has replied that there is no case of embezzlement but only a case of overpayment. In his next question the Honourable Member need not again presume embezzlement—he can put a question on the over payment.
