SRINAGAR, Dec 17: Another fresh case has been registered by the State Vigilance organisation against the officials of Lakes And Waterways Development Authority (LAWDA), Srinagar for allowing illegal constructions.
The verification conducted by Vigilance Organization Kashmir (VOK) into the allegations that officers/officials of Lakes and Waterways Development Authority (LAWDA) Srinagar, having allowed illegal construction at Pahloo Brain by Ghulam Nabi Hafiz against consideration has revealed that a single storey concrete house has been constructed by Ghulam Nabi Hafiz, son of Ghulam Mohammad Hafiz at Pahloo Brain in the year 2014-15 without obtaining any building permission. It further revealed that no building permission has been issued by the LAWDA for the said illegal construction.
The verification has also revealed that the concerned watchers of the area namely Mohammad Younus Lala and Abdul Rehman Dar had informed the then Enforcement Officer, Shah Sikandar Khan about the said illegal construction on time besides, the Secretary LAWDA also directed the said Enforcement Officer to take action in the above mentioned illegal construction, however, the said officer neither stopped the raising of the illegal construction, nor took any step to demolish or to stop the illegal construction.
By acting in the aforesaid manner the then Enforcement Officer Shah Sikander Khan and others in league with the beneficiary Ghulam Nabi Hafiz have abused their official positions and allowed the raising of the said illegal construction against consideration thereby conferred undue pecuniary advantage upon themselves and upon the said beneficiary.
According a Case FIR No. 52/2015 P/S VOK has been registered against the then Enforcement officer DySP Shah Sikander Khan and beneficiary Ghulam Nabi Hafiz and others under Section 5(1)(d) r/w Section 5(2) J&K P.C Act, Svt. 2006 and section 120-B RPC.
