Crime Branch files objections on ex-GMC Principal’s application

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Jan 23: In the much publicized spurious drugs scam, Crime Branch has filed objections in response to the application filed by Dr Anice Choudhary, the then Principal GMC Jammu, before Special Judge Anticorruption Jammu.
In the objections,  Crime Branch submitted that applicant Dr Anice Choudhary  accused in the this case was an important member of the Purchase Committee-II, who had not only taken part in all the meetings but had also presided over some of the important meetings convened by the Purchase Committee-II regarding supply of drugs.
The culpability of the accused/applicant Dr Aniece Choudhary and other members of Purchase Committee-II, GMC Jammu has been fixed for their role in clearing the deficient, fake and fictitious tender documents of the firm M/s Lifeline Pharmaco Surgicals, which did neither conform to the specifications nor were in consonance with the conditions of the tender notice.
The Crime Branch further submitted that Dr Anice Choudhary has not only leveled false allegations against the investigation agency through the medium of the instant application but has got the contents of his frivolous application published in the newspapers in order to bring a bad name to the premiere investigating agency for which the accused was required to be reprimanded and directed to refrain from indulging in such activities in future.
The Crime Branch prayed before the court that the application filed by the ex-GMC Principal Dr Anice Choudhary may be dismissed with heavy costs in the interest of justice and fair play and the regular proceedings of the trial of the case may be initiated after formal framing of charges against the accused persons.
After going through the objections filed by the Crime Branch and hearing CPO Kulbushan Sharma with Senior PO MA Almansoor appearing for the Crime Branch and battery of advocates for the accused persons, Special Judge Anticorruption fixed February 11, 2014 for further proceedings in the case.
