Manufacture ?
According to the declaration made to the DGFT, the manufacture was carried out by Ardent Mechatronics. However it was found that Ardent Mechatronics had no machinery, personnel or expertise to carry out the work, and Shri Gopinath had merely lent the name of a concern existing on paper, for a consideration of Rs. 2000/- per ventilator. However in the papers filed with the DGFT it was shown as if he was being paid Rs. 80,000/- per ventilator for the manufacturing processes said to be carried out by him. Search operations on 30-1-2001 at the business and residential premises of Shri Gopinath yielded two sets of agreement with Lucky Exports containing identical matter except for the amount of remuneration. The plain paper copy showed Rs. 80,000/-, while the stamp paper copy showed Rs. 2000/-. Shri Gopinath stated on 30-1-2001 that he had no role but to lend the name of his firm; that he had no technical/financial role; that the agreement on stamp paper was signed early December 2000 but backdated to October; that the agreement on plain paper was got signed by him in the third week of December 2000 by Shri Mukesh Kumar (Export Manager) of Lucky Exports who said that it was required for submission to the DGFT.
