JAMMU, Oct 3: In the much publicized Public Interest Litigation (PIL) highlighting alleged hushing up of Chatta Sunjwan land scam, Division Bench of State comprising First Puisne Judge Justice Ramalingam Sudhakar and Justice B S Walia today directed Senior AAG Seema Shekhar to take-up the matter with Deputy Commissioner Jammu with regard to non-furnishing of the original record as demanded by Crime Branch in the ongoing probe into the scam.
Division Bench further directed that the Senior AAG will ensure that the entire record will be made available to the Crime Branch by or before October 17, 2016 and in this regard Tehsildar Bahu and the concerned field revenue agency will provide necessary assistance.
Earlier, when the PIL came-up for hearing, Advocate Sheikh Shakeel Ahmed appearing for the petitioner drew the attention of the court towards the latest status report filed by Crime Branch wherein it has expressed its inability to complete the probe in view of the non-cooperative attitude of Revenue Department by not providing the records required for completion of the inquiry despite repeated reminders.
“The status report says that Tehsildar Bahu vide his letter No.124/08/TB dated 02-09-2016 has provided some of the records— photocopy of the Jamabandi/Misal-e-Haqiet and Girdawari that too un-attested which is of no use”, Advocate Ahmed said, adding “in this connection, once again the concerned revenue authorities have been requested to provide the original Misal-e-Haqiet for the year 1979-80 Bikrami constituted of Khewat No.13 and 35 and Jamabandi for the year 1998-99 Bikrami constituted for Khewat No.19 and 85 together with the Nakal Khasra Girdawari since the year 1952 Rabi to Kharief 2007 for the land falling under Khasra No.1442 situated at village Sunjwan Chatta so as to reach to a logical conclusion”.
