In a Govt. department, a self cheque for seven lakhs rupees was issued by the Drawing and Disbursing Officer (DDO) for encashing so as to make payments to some four different suppliers. Cheque could have been issued to the concerned suppliers individually against their payment but for shortage of cheque leaves, the consolidated amount was drawn by a last and single left out cheque leaf (fresh Cheque Book requisitioned long back was not immediately forthcoming as it had to come a long way from its Regional Office). The said cheque was encashed from the bank by the Cashier and Dauftry as per legitimate daily duty.
Unfortunately, the money encashed from the bank was stolen from the vehicle of the cashier by some miscreants in the bank premises. It so happened, when both the cashier and dauftry came out from the bank carrying the bag containing the money, the miscreants allegedly sprayed certain spraying substance in the body of Dauftry that caused a strong itching sensation in the head and neck of dauftry.The Dauftry was carrying the bag as usual. They anyhow reached to their vehicle and seated driven by the cashier himself. But seeing the unbearable condition of the Dauftry, the cashier alighted from the vehicle saying he would buy some medicine from a chemist shop nearby for temporary relief before they could see a doctor. The soonest the Cashier left for chemist shop, the miscreant came and knock the glass of the vehicle signalling some amount fallen in the ground. The Dauftry alighted from the vehicle believing that money might have fallen from the pocket of the cashier. He picked up the fallen money - some eighty ruppes of 10-10 denomination, and sat back in the vehicle. But loo! the bag containing rupees seven lakhs had already been stolen by the miscreant. On return of the cashier, both lodged an FIR in the local police station. After investigation, four person have been arrested by the police on suspect (the arrestees have yet to confess their guilty). There is a Govt. guidelines in force requiring police escort during drawal of heavy cash from the bank, which was not followed in the instant case. Eight months have elapsed after the incident. Now, the controlling authority has put both the cashier and dauftry under suspension from service on grounds of negligence, and recommended to the Govt. for disciplinary action against the DDO (as he is not the disciplinary authority for the DDO).
Now, my question is whether the Govt. can squarely held the DDO responsible for the incident? Can he be put under suspension for the lapses/negligence committed by his subordinate staff? What would be his defense in such an eventuality? I request the learned experts to kindly offer their expert comments on the issue.
