However, he finally succeeded in his designs only on October 29 under a well planned strategy.

Nexus between officials, contractors may come to fore
Moga, November 7 The suspended employee of the department, Daljit Kaur, while speaking to The Tribune, revealed that the contractors of the wholesale and retail vends, mostly deposit the money in advance, which is adjusted as per their request for permits from time to time. The loophole in depositing the money in advance is that the deposited amount sometimes is much less than the actual excise duty of all the wholesale and retail shops. The contractors, by manipulating with the officials, get permits for lifting liquor but do not adjust their amount against the heads of those permits, giving an impression that they are paying huge amounts in advance. In fact, this amount does not get adjusted against each head of the issued permit for days due to which many liquor vends and wholesalers become defaulters for that period. But an impression is given that they pay advance money. Adding that an amount of Rs 1.45 crore of the local contractors was pending with the excise department at Moga till October 29, 2011, she said that no permits had been issued against this amount justifying 'smartness' of advance payments. Daljit claimed that she cleared the file of issuing the controversial five permits against a receipt of Rs 5.29 lakh adjusted against advancement. Therefore, it is wrong to say that the excise duty was not deposited in the treasury. She further revealed that the education cess has so far not been deposited in the head of the education department in the treasury against the payments received from the contractors for the past couple of months, which, otherwise, requires to be deposited from before issuing permits. Here, the contractors manipulate with authorities to delay the payments of education cess. This practice is going on throughout the state for years, which needs to be probed minutely, she demanded. Adding that her senior officials themselves verified all the documents and signed the permits after making online entries, she said that they are equally responsible for the issuing of permits. Vinod Sharma, president and Sanjiv Kaura, secretary of the ministerial staff union, had condemned the suspension of the woman employee demanding her reinstatement and a fair probe.
