CHANDIGARH, TUESDAY- Punjab
and Haryana High Court on Tuesday directed the Director, State Vigilance Bureau
to complete the probe into corruption in the construction of Sahabad of
District – Kurukshetra. It may be recalled that earlier on Thursday Justice
Rakesh Jain of High Court had instructed the counsel for the Vigilance Bureau
to apprise the court as to how much time it will take to complete the probe,
especially when the Chief Minister had approved the vigilance investigation.
When the counsel appearing for the vigilance informed the court that the
Vigilance had collected the sample material from the already constructed road
and sent the same to the Madhuban lab, on this, Mr. Pardeep Rapria the Counsel for Petitioner Rakesh
Bains submitted that the vigilance investigation appears to be investigating
only the use of inferior quality material in the construction of roads, whereas
it has maintained complete silence on the CD containing voices of the officers
demanding bribe from the contractors and there is also complete silence on the
disappearance of road shown to be constructed on paper. Then the counsel for
vigilance further informed the court that the Vigilance Bureau is in the
process of collecting voice samples of the officials and very soon, it will be
sent to the lab. Vigilance requested six months time to complete the probe, but
High Court granted only two months to complete the probe and submit report
before the High Court. The matter will come up for further hearing on 17th
July 2016.
