Hand in glove”Such scams can not be played just by the hands of the designer or by the hands of the skilled officers; it can be played just when the hands of the proficient officers remain in the glove of the designers,” the court observed. The circular, to be provided within 8 weeks, need to make it clear that if it is discovered that OCs are provided contrary to law, the officers worried would be responsible to deal with department query or criminal procedures relying on the nature of dereliction of responsibilities, the court stated.
