But DC has pressing hard to enquire the matter from ADC instead of Chief Secretary Inquiry Panel.
More undue pressure which is also highlighted:

As and when Om Enterprises was directed to submit Bank Guarantee by the Mills, DC intervenes and halts the proceedings within few minutes.
Selective inquiries of compliant has been initiated which are not of OM Enterprises.
DC, Kurukshetra (the then DC, Palwal) has awarded the tender of Palwal Sugar Mills also to M/s OM Enterprise in the month of July, 2024 which was in violation of State Govt. approved terms and conditions. Even the same was deferred by the Sugarfed but still awarded the same at a very higher rates (almost double) than the same capacity Mills of Sonipat.
