The authority which has been given to the Railway Administration under the said Act can be attributed to the Government also in view of the aforesaid definition and no further.

However, from the memo dated. 24.03.2005 issued by the Assistant Secretary, Railway Department it transpired that 2.57 acres land has been allotted in favour of the writ petitioner Samity. Since no decision had been taken in the 26th Board Meeting of the Railway Authority, the Memo dated 24.03.2005 allegedly communicated the decision of the Railway authority to sell the property in favour of the writ petitioner Samity, is nothing but a fraudulent and created document and on the basis of such document no right has been created in favour of the writ petitioner Samity and this fraud has vitiated everything. ––The Railway Authority received Tk. 18,24,00,141.56/-from the writ petitioners’ Samity and no point of time they asked the writ petitioner to take back the said money.
