Sir, I hope you brief your superiors once again.
04. I hope one can mirror the functioning of your department in following manner:-
“THIS IS A STORY ABOUT FOUR PEOPLE NAMED EVERYBODY SOMEBODY, ANYBODY AND NOBODY. THERE WAS AN IMPORTANT JOB TO BE DONE AND EVERYBODY WAS SURE THAT SOMEBODY WOULD DO IT . ANYBODY COULD HAVE DONE IT .BUT NOBODY DID IT.SOMEBODY GOT ANGRY ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT WAS EVERYBODY’S JOB. EVERYBODY THOUGHT ANYBODY COULD DO IT. BUT NOBODY REALISED THAT EVERBODY WOUDNT DO IT. IT ENDED UP THAT EVERYBODY BLAMED SOMEBODY WHEN NOBODY DID WHAT ANY BODY COULD HAVE DONE.”
05. Keeping in mind wisdom: “ A stitch in time saves nine” and “ one does not allow weeds to grow” the contents of my present letter, results of your findings and its economic significance to the country, your conscience would urge you to take the matter right up to CBDT both in the interest of large fiscal deficit and compassion to fellow beings of the country. In case you and your department lacks the COMPETENCY and WILL TO ACT AND COORDINATE prompt simultaneous action, you and/or CBDT should employ outside agency such as CBI and wind up the INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT.
YOUR INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT WOULD NOT LIKE TO TARNISH THE REPUTATION OF MR. C.M.BETGIRI WHO ASSURED ME AS HEAD OF INVESTIGATION DEPT VIDE HIS LETTER DATED SEPT 19,2000 WHO IS NOW PROMOTER AS MEMBER CBDT.
06. I would also like to draw your attention that the A.O. lacks will,competence,experience, coordination to take simultaneous action to attach and acquire the referred property(One needs a team of experience people even to catch stray dogs). Therefore , it is necessary that the Investigation department initiates total action from start to finish and take along a.o. for executing the attachment / acquisition of property simultaneously by exploring the possibility of S281 or any other relevant section of the I.T. Act. The way the matter is being currently handled by the A.O. , it violates the principles of Evidence Act and may be able to provide reason large tax-evader to scot free.
07. On ground of natural justice, transparency and evidence act and when I am the informant , it sis necessary that you immediately provide detailed findings/evidence/facts in view of my assertions and contentions given in form of my reply and annexures on May 10th 2000 so that the assessing officer do not harass me and my family members in this particular matter.
08. I hope that my feeling and understanding of the situation is taken in right and positive spirit and prompt action is taken immediately and the findings are reported to me immediately. The detailed evidence is necessary to me now at this stage for my PERSONAL SECURITY.
Thanking you.
