PANJIM: The High Court of Bombay at Goa has ordered the Tiswadi Mamlatdar to recover misappropriated funds to the tune of Rs 59.22 lakh from erstwhile managing committee members of the Morombi-O-Grande Tenants Association, Merces within a year.
There was misappropriation of funds by the earlier committee members as found mentioned by the auditor’s report to the tune of Rs 59,22,500, the Court order pointed out.
Since FIR had already been lodged in the matter, the Court also asked the Tiswadi Mamlatdar to initiate proceedings against the erstwhile managing committee members or its office-bearers towards recovery of the misappropriated amount as mentioned in the auditor’s report dated August 23, 2022, in a time-bound manner and to deposit such amount in the bank account of the petitioner’s Association.
The court also reprimanded the Mamlatdar for not exercising the powers to take necessary action in the matter.
