The Koraput Senior Division Civil Judge has issued a warrant to confiscate the car used by the Additional Collector and other articles at the Collectorate over non-payment of medicine bills.
On the basis of the warrant, the Court officials reached the Koraput Collectorate and held discussions with the senior administrative officials yesterday. Apart from the car, several other assets including 10 tables, 10 chairs, 10 air-conditioners, 20 fans and 10 almirahs will also be attached as per the Court’s warrant.
The Court notice has been issued in connection with an incident of non-payment of bill for medicines which were supplied to Nandapur CDPO office in 2010.
Despite the Court’s order, the CDPO office had allegedly not cleared the pending payment to The Mother Medical Store. The store had supplied medicines worth Rs 2,63, 839 in 2010.
The concerned store owner Harekrushna Mohanty had moved the Court seeking directions for payment against the medicine supplied. Subsequently, the Court had directed Koraput Collector to pay a total of Rs 4, 33,774.96 including the case expenses in this regard.
