Srinagar, July 8: The Jammu and Kashmir administration has issued an show cause notice to former Srinagar Mayor Junaid Azeem Mattu for allegedly continuing to occupy a government bungalow in Church-Lane beyond his entitlement period.
The notice mentioned that despite different notices/communications/verbal requests to vacate the property, Mattu failed to comply. It further noted that his legal challenge against the eviction process before the J&K High Court (WP(C) No. 2114/2024) was disposed of on May 9, 2025.
As on date you are not entitled to retain the scheduled premises in the absence of any statutory provision in this regard, directing Mattu to either vacate the bungalow or produce documentary evidence justifying his occupation by July 15, 2025.
Failure to comply may result in formal eviction proceedings under the J&K Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1988.(KDC)
