Patna,(BiharTimes): So far cases against 44 government employees, who have acquired assets beyond their known source of income, have been registered in the state.
|
This information was given by home department in-charge minister, Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, while replying to a question of Neeraj Kumar of Janata Dal (United) in the Bihar Legislative Council on Friday.
He informed the House that the Bihar Special Courts Act, 2009, allows the government to confiscate property of an accused in a corruption case during trial.
The minister said that the government had already confiscated the property in two cases. Former Bihar cadre IAS officer S S Verma was the first to have his property seized, having lost an appeal against it in the Patna High Court last year.
