 PART – B
Read carefully the following case and answer all questions {total 25 marks}

Mr. Federik is an Executive Engineer (EE) in the state Public Works Department (PWD). He is
responsible for the maintenance and repair of all public roads and bridges coming under his
assigned geographical area. Because of the heavy monsoon, a few parts of the road have been
severely damaged, and it becomes unsafe, tiresome and causing delays to travel through it. Mr.
Federik is aware of the same, but he hasn’t taken any initiative in addressing the problem. The
public had sent many petitions to the authorities and to the concerned minister regarding the
poor condition of the road. They also made a public protest to seek the attention of the
authorities.

After getting an instruction from the concerned minister Mr.Federik asked his Assistant Engineer
(AE), Mr. Jeko to inspect the affected area and prepare an estimate for the repair. Mr. Jeko
further delegated the task to one of the Sub -Engineer Ms. Demia. She went and inspected the
damaged areas of the road and prepared a realistic estimate with the support of her
subordinates. During the time of estimate preparation, a prominent contractor tries to influence
her to increase the estimate value, but she denied it. She submitted the estimate to the AE.
Then, the contractor approached the AE and EE to raise the estimated amount by offering them
some valuable gifts. They inflated(exaggerated) the primary estimate and approved it for
tendering. The work has been allocated to the lowest bidder (obviously above-mentioned
contractor) who had started the repair work. None of the officers was present at the site during
the repair work and the contractor had done low-quality repair work. PWD officers made passive
negligence to favour the contractor.

The public who were witnessing the work raised a complaint about the incorrect way of doing
the repairs and stopped the contract labourer’s from continuing the job. The repair work has
been stalled and the government asked the vigilance department to make an investigation into
it. The primary investigation report revealed the intentional negligence of the concerned officers
and the unhealthy understanding between the contractor and them. The government has
ordered a detailed investigation to assess the losses and transferred all staff to far locations.
