Srinagar, Aug 31: While hearing a Public Interest Litigation demanding the removal of illegal encroachments on ‘Shah Kul’, a historic stream that served as the primary water source for the famous Mughal-era Nishat Garden, a division bench comprising Chief Justice Arun Palli and Justice Rajnesh Oswal instructed the authorities to submit within two days full details of other encroachers listed in their supplementary compliance report.
The court directed that the encroachers be served notice through the Srinagar Deputy Commissioner.
The PIL filed in 2023 seeks directions for the restoration of adjoining roads encroached upon by some private individuals.
The PIL also seeks directions for constituting a high-level committee comprising an officer of the anti-corruption bureau and other investigation wings to investigate the gross mismanagement of the official respondents (authorities). It seeks an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation to inquire into the conduct of the officials in the matter
