JAMMU, Aug 30: Crime Branch Jammu has registered another criminal case in illegal grabbing of a huge chunk of 108 Kanals State land worth more than hundred crores of rupees in Jammu city.
The case has been registered against five beneficiaries and the Revenue officers concerned. The beneficiaries are Hassan Din, Fam Ali alias Fami, Fazal Hassain, Rashad Ahmed (all sons of late Saraj Din), residents of Barmini, Tehsil and Distt Jammu and Abdul Majid son of late Imam Din of Jalalabad Sunjwan, Tehsil and District Jammu, the Attorney holder of the said land for hatching a criminal conspiracy to fraudulently create right of tenant and ownership rights over Govt land, measuring 108 Kanal in Khasra No. 1524 at village Sunjwan in their favour.
In furtherance of the criminal conspiracy, the alleged accused dishonestly and fraudulently got fabricated fake and forged Revenue documents i.e., Mutation No. 750/J dated 12.06.2007 and 751/J dated 12.06.2007 in respect of State land in connivance with officers/ officials of Revenue Deptt concerned.
The case owes its origin to a communication of Additional Commissioner Jammu with Deputy Commissioner Jammu and Crime Branch, which mentioned that an enquiry was conducted by Sub- Divisional Magistrate South, Jammu into the status of Mutation No. 750/J and 751/J of village Sunjwan, Tehsil Bahu under LB-6/C of 1958. The enquiry officer has conclusively established that these Mutations are fake and inserted in the register in place of original ones to confer illegal rights over state land.
Crime Branch, Jammu, headed by SSP Shailender Singh conducted Preliminary Enquiry into the matter and verified revenue documents. Also offered opportunity to each suspect to submit their defence. The allegations levelled against the accused beneficiaries and the Revenue officers/ officials were prima-facie substantiated and for the omissions and commission of offences of cheating by fabricating false & fake documents & destroying some of the evidence and for using corrupt means, a formal case has been registered in Police Station Crime Branch, Jammu against the accused persons and the investigation of the case has started.
It is worth mentioning that earlier this year, Crime Branch Jammu had concluded investigation of FIR number 24/2010 involving 96 Kanal of state land worth crores of rupees in Nagrota against the accused Revenue Officers. For prosecution of the accused Revenue officers, the Crime Branch has sought sanction from the concerned Department.
