“I am working as Assistant Director in the department of social welfare. I tender my affidavit Ex. DW-I/ I in support of the defence taken by the deft..........It is correct that the copy of the meetings dated 13/9/91 is Ex. P5. (Since the first page of the minutes of the meeting dated 23/9/91 is not on the judicial record therefore, the witness is directed to file copy of the first page of the Minutes of the meetings. The record has been seen and returned. The first page shall be read as Ex. P-5A. Copy of the Minutes of the meeting, dated 7.10.91 is Ex. P-6. I have no idea as to whether any specific complaint in writing against the Plaintiff had been received during the period from 15/9/91 to 7/10/91 (the witness has been asked to go through their record to clarify the position). After going through the records he has stated that no specific complaint had been received. Vol. however, the complaints which had been received by the department had been discussed during the meetings and were incorporated in the Minutes of the meeting. This is evident from Ex. P3, P5 and P6. It is correct that a show cause notice dated 17.9.91 (Ex. P4) had been sent to the Plaintiff, and its reply dt. 19/9/91 was received. The reply is Ex. D2. I do not know as to whether even after the reply of 19/9/91( Ex. D2) the department had placed orders, for supply of the goods, Vol. the supply order is placed by CDPO.
