Hello,
Kindly provide me with the following information requested under the purview of the Right to Information Act, 2005.
- Source of recruitment in respect of Dr.Amarjeet Singh Bains, retired as Director, DEAL in 2004, whether it was from the open advertisement or UPSC/RAC
- Date of appointment and Post
- What was the qualitative requirement for the post?
- Dr. Amarjeet Singh Bains’s qualifications and copy of certificates/testimonial on the basis of which he was appointed in DRDO.
Note: above required information is directly related to corruption and not come under schedule -II
8. Brief facts of the case:
i) His appointment in DRDO was in very mysterious circumstances.
ii) As per available records he was an employee of Marconi Defence Systems in Stanmore, Middlesex, UK up to 1982 and he was joined DRDO in 1984.
iii) There were mysterious deaths of 25 employees of Marconi Defence Systems, Stanmore during the working period of Dr.AS Bains in Marconi Defence Systems, Stanmore. The all victims were involved in the strategic defence deals.
iv) To protect the anti-national officials of DRDO, CPIO, DRDO Hqrs. denied the informations.
v) The information requested to expose the corruption in DRDO and it is not come under purview of exemption. Please treat RTI application under sanction 6(1) read with first provision to Sanction 24(1) [Corruption Case]
Under the chairmanship of DRDO’s Appellate Authority, so called expert of DRDO Hqrs, DRDL, Hyderabad and DEAL, Dehradun met on 16th July 2010 at First Appellate Authority’s Office and decided not to give single information to RTI requester but only to reply to obstruct the giving of correct information to RTI requester they wasted lot of public money on TA/DA for said government officials who attended the said meeting from Hyderabad and Dehradun.
Camouflage of exemption under schedule –II of RTI Act 2005 has been deliberately taken to circumvent to deny the required information.
Dr. A. S. Bains (then Director DEAL, Dehradun) aim was to damage the organization’s financial deals and help his friends, who were parting the hefty commission/omission. Example – a purchase of Digital display Synthesizer (DDFS) which was required for Composite Net Radio (CNR a prestigious project of DEAL), he directed project in-charge to put his friend’s company’s name (M/S Wave Components & Systems, 1409 W, Woodcrest, Fullerton CA 92833, USA) in the quotation enquiry. The best part of that the firm’s rep supplied in person the item (in the shape of scrape which is still lying with CNR project) at DEAL’s gate well before the quotation’s opening date and with item there were no papers enclosed that the items were imported from US. The plea was given by firm’s rep that his luggage was stolen at airport. It can be verified with DEAL’s gate records. The matter was exposed by me, the file was closed but he had to give money to his friend, so again a new file was raised as per direction in proprietary base case with new nomenclature as DDES instead of DDFS, order were place to US, LC opened, money was drawn but the item were not send from US. As expected that he had already delivered back at DEAL’s gate. After two years RBI asked for FE settlement, and then DEAL asked the firm to send anything against the said supply. But because of the Pokhran Blast, US sanction was imposed and company was not able to supply, but again they adopt DRDO’s Scientist gimmicked and arranged locally, a bogus airway bill no and with blank box they deposited via their Delhi based firm by courier. They forget that they established a relation between a firm and later on in other quotation they used this firm as their competitive.

Fullertone, CA- 92833
Residence of Mr.ManiKant Takur as per US municipal records
i) Mr. Manikant Takur has accepted that he is good friend of Dr.A.S.Bains to Tahalka Correspondent Mr. Shashi
ii) The above firms received crores of rupees order from DEAL. The origin and existence of this firm is is also mysterious.
iii) The firms deals with only DEAL, Dehradun
iv) The firms have no dealership of any manufactures
v) The firm has a not single leaflet/brochure’s/any professional existing document which proves that they are very well in the business later on due course of CBI inquiry they generated few but they found bogus.
vi) The firm supplied MMIC components/Li batteries, quartze crystal etc it’s shows big variation in business field
vii) The firm always asked for splitting the order for because to avoid FERA and other agencies who normally not bother for small transactions.
viii) The asked for change the nomenclature of the items so it can help to fool, financial member, custom authorities and US commerce department.
ix) Not a single fruitful output was generated by DEAL by using items supplied by said firm. If one can go for physical verification will find the only scarp, in case of 35 GHz Down Converter the CBI, Dehradun was found that out of 150 nos half were not working, some odd 20+ was pasted without use or any output and some they said was given to Project Trishul (i.e 18 GHz project not 35 GHz) and rest to CERI, Pilani. It is complete eyewash.
x) What was the DEAL’s gain the all scientists who helps in procurement got outstanding reports and got promotions the main example Dr.KD Nayak presently holding post of CC R&D and Mr. Sushil Kumar Verma presently Sc ‘F’ and recently posted to DRDO Hqrs with Dr KD Nayak, so they can against create a new gimmick.

Just to compete the coram for quotation formalities they included two more firms name which do not exist in US.( I have collected sufficient evidences in respect which can be produce to government investigation agencies)

Dr. AS Bains also violated the govt. rules by asking quotation from US based firms during US sanctions for just route the money of poor tax payers of India. Anyone can imagine the quotations are coming from US and TPC reflecting in the minutes these companies are well known firms in their field based on the DEAL’s procurement records.
Sir, have any finance rep ever asked about the credential of any firms or verify with any other lab or source, I can understand the pressure on other TPC members because they are from DRDO and always worried for their carriers.
Under the forging details there is no room to allow the culprits to go escort free. Any one asks details from various investigation agencies who have worked in this respect and are perplexed. Please contact Major Chetri, then in-charge, MI, Dehradun, Mr. Bist, then SP, CBI, Dehradun, IB, Dehradun, Director, CAG, Dehradun.
This is a tip of iceberg if you people allow me to work with financial agencies for uprooting the corruption in DRDO, I can produce tons of information and info related to their modus of operandi.
