Booth allotment scam: Administration develops cold feet,sits on report

Sources disclosed that even the UT’s Legal Remembrancer,in his opinion,given to the UT Administration,has recommended a registration of a criminal case,against 10 UT Estate Office officials,but still no action has been taken. However,the LR’s opinion,almost exonerated the top politicians and police officers,named in the report,in absence of any substantial evidence to prove their involvement in the entire scam.

The top officials of the UT Administration,who have kept mum on the entire issue,are not ready to divulge any details on the present status of the inquiry report,submitted by Shergill.

While the administration is sitting on the inquiry report,pertaining to the entire scam,which is assumed to run in the crores,the alleged ‘illegal beneficiaries’ of the scam,have already sold off the booths and vanished.

Shergill’s inquiry report had categorically mentioned that the people,who had initially benefited because of the ‘erroneous’ allotments of booths in the Krishna Market,Sector 41 of Chandigarh,had already sold off the booths to other people,making the entire issue more complicated.

The inquiry report,according to the top officials of the UT Administration is yet to reach the UT Administrator Shivraj V Patil,after which the final action shall be decided.
