Why the Council is Silent? (http://azad-azadindia.blogspot.com/2017/07/honest-government-of-india-is-silent.html) Why it has not taken any action against Dr. B. Pattnaik (Project Director ICR-PDFMD, Mukteshwar who has done forgery, who has embezzled the government funds, who has misappropriated the Institute funds, who has minted money through payment of fake bills, who has forged the reports, agreements and official documents? Question is who is the breeder of Corruption at the Council maintaining the nucleus seeds?

What Dr. B. Pattnaik did?

A.  In 2008, as Director ICAR-PD Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) Mukteshwar, Dr. B. Pattnaik made payment of Rs. 60, 0000/= against faked bills?

The action of the Council: Reward for corruption.

1. Issued a general letter to all the ICAR bodies not make payment without receiving the ordered good.
2.  Dr. Pattnaik was given a second tenure as Director, to keep on breeding the corruption.
3.  Dr. Pattnaik was given an opportunity to establish an International referral laboratory for FMD at Bhubaneswar for Rs. 500 crores, in his native state.  
4. Dr. Pattnaik’s  aides were given promotion.

B.  In 2014 as an expert of FMD he was the member of GOI committee under the chairmanship of Dr. Gaya Prasad (then ADG AH) to retest the vaccines declared substandard at CCS NIAH, Baghpat (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/267705649_Testing_of_FMD_Vaccine_intended_to_be_used_under_FMD-CP_of_Govt_of_India_at_CCS_NIAH_Baghpat_UP_India?_iepl%5BviewId%5D=gbEYAweVRw3rEQFyOqBKuCX9&_iepl%5BprofilePublicationItemVariant%5D=default&_iepl%5Bcontexts%5D%5B0%5D=prfpi&_iepl%5BtargetEntityId%5D=PB%3A267705649&_iepl%5BinteractionType%5D=publicationTitle), and The committee made its forged report as:

a.       Samples tested at CCS NIAH were not re-tested by the committee.

b.      Reserve copy of the samples tested at CCS NIAH available at IVRI, Bengaluru was also not tested by the committee.

c.       Defying all the rules, samples were collected a fresh directly provided by the producers of substandard vaccine rather than collection from state depots where vaccines were available, or from State veterinary Hospital where the vaccine was being used or from the market.

d.      Samples, if collected, were collected by unauthorized persons from inappropriate sites (directly from producers).

e.       Samples were never received at IVRI, Izatnagar as under RTI, IVRI failed to provide any proof of sample receipts in writing and also failed to show the samples physically.

f.       The samples were tested at IVRI, Izatnagar (an unauthorized place the to test the quality of FMD vaccine) instead of IVRI, Bengaluru.
g. The testing, if any was done at IVRI, Izatnagar was completed on 6th February 2015, and the report was submitted on 7th February 2015. However, the ccommittee submitted its report based on the said testing 25 days ahead othe f completion of the vaccine testing. What a clever forgery?
h. Report is still with ICAR vigilence but it was submitted on 6th February 2015 to High Court (at Lucknow) claiming that it has been accepted by the Council. The confident traitors bluffed the Court too.

i.      Moreover, as an expert, he approved the addition of enrofloxacin (a fluoroquinolone) as a preservative in FMD vaccine intended to be used in dairy animals. The parent company producing enrofloxacin prohibits its use in growing and dairy animals (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/303685698_Use_of_Enrofloxacin_as_Preservative_in_FMD_vaccine?ev=pubitem-pub_supplemented&_iepl%5BviewId%5D=LdonVvGtL3L40IMiq0A92vd508Paq1jwaFx4&_iepl%5Bcontexts%5D%5B0%5D=pdppi&_iepl%5Bdata%5D%5Bmilestone%5D=experimentMilestoneClickedToPublicationFromRelatedWithFulltext&_iepl%5BinteractionType%5D=publicationView). This is prohibited because in age below 14 years in human it causes permanent damage to joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves and a child exposed to this drug may start to have epilepsy and he or she can never be an athlete. Probably it may be one of the reasons that India with 130 crores of people has no International athlete.

It is to remember that Dr. B. Pattnaik was the FMD Expert member in Committee of GOI constituted by Dr. KML Pathak (then DDG, AS) to enquire in the report of substandard FMD Vaccine from CCS NIAH, Baghpat. In the report, the committee used its forgery techniques and declared that the vaccine was of good quality. Certainly, the act would have been done with some ill intention. However, the Council is sitting on all the documents proving that the GOI committee not only forged the documents in the report but also bluffed the High Court and Farmers of India, all the documents were submitted more than 5 times to the council but of no avail, even Cabinet Minister for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare is too busy in saving the corrupt officials that he failed to take any notice even after 4 reminders over last one year. 

The Action of the Council: Again reward for corruption.

1.  Dr. Gaya Prasad (the chairman of the committee) is now VC of SVBP University of Agriculture and Technology Meerut.
2. Dr. B. Pattnaik has been given another term as director, he has been given immunity in council despite a criminal case against him, and he was tried to be made member of Agricultural Scientist Recruitment Board ASRB (the board selecting the scientists, directors and other staff for the Council, the probable breeder of corruption), which could not be materialized..

C.  Now the new case, proved his corruption abilities par excellence: In the following two cases Dr. B. Pattnaik paid Rs. 1763215/ (in case 1) and Rs. 28686/ (in case 2) from the Institute money without any permission. Both the cases are personal and the council is not the party to any extent. 

  1.      FIR No. 304/15 PS Inderpuri under Section 409, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120B of IPC against Dr. Bramhadev Pattnaik (Project Director, ICAR-PDFMD) and 4 other accused individuals (not the council or any office head). The Charge sheet filed in the Court confirms the charges of a. cheating punishable u/s 415/420 IPC, b. Criminal breach of trust punishable u/s 409 IPC, c. Forgery punishable u/s 465 IPC, d. Forgery of valuable security (creation of forged/ fabricated document) punishable u/s 30 IPC, e. Forgery for the purpose of cheating punishable u/s 468B IPC, f. Using as genuine, a forged document punishable u/s 471IPC, g. Accused persons had a common intention (u/s 34 IPC), wilfully and intentionally aided each other to commit the crime punishable u/s 107 & 109 IPC, h. Committed cognizable offences punishable u/s 409/420/467/468/471 R/w Section 34 and 120B IPC.

  2.  W.P.(C)624/2017, Delhi High Court in BB Dash (CPIO, ICAR-PDFMD) versus Central Information Commission & ANR (Fined Rs. 25000/ for intentionally hiding/ not providing the information).

What the Schedule III [Page 106, vii) Legal charges for law suits to which Council is a party including a) Fees to barristers, pleaders, arbitrators and umpires, b) other legal charges for law suits or prosecution case as well as arbitration cases] says about powers delegated to the directors pertaining to payment? The director of the Institute has been given full powers to make the payments subject to previous consent of the Council.

However, in none of the above said case 1 & 2, neither the Council is party nor any consent from the Council has been obtained but bills of the barrister has been paid from funds of ICAR-PDFMD by Dr. Pattnaik using his Godly Powers. The RTI given below is self explanatory.

The Action of the Council: Again no action, Dr. B. Pattnaik is still the director of PD-FMD (http://www.pdfmd.ernet.in/index_files/Content/Personnel_Page/Personnel_details_Pattnaik_Sir.pdf).

Now question is: why the Council is not taking any action against him? Is it because he belongs to Orissa? Or, is his loyalty to the gang of corrupts in the Council still sitting at high posts? Or, is he has some good connections with those sitting in power positions? Or, is he has some secrets of those sitting in controlling positions? Or, has he some Godfather in PMO or the Council? Or something else hidden agenda is there.
