JAMMU, Nov 19: Working of Revenue Officers of JDA headed by DLM can be seen from that once upon a time a simple application under RTI was filed by Lady for seeking information regarding process of her own case on 2nd of July 2025, , whereas unsatisfactory reply was field as refused some personal information of applicants own file by quoting Sec 8(1)(b), which nowhere speaks for denial of such information?.
However, applicant filed Ist Appeal, & which was fixed on 4th August for hearing & by hearing, which was attended by representative of applicant, PIO, Tehsildar, Legal Assistant, Patwari concerned but none of the officers themselves could justify their observation of imposing Sec 8(1)(b) for not providing information but however, Legal Assistant clarified to Ist Appellant Authority that said Section could not have been imposed as does not pertains to information desired.
Ist Appellant Authority, Jammu Dev Authority the DLM on the same day & time directed PIO, Secretary JDA to provide correct reply but the reply of boss PIO again raised a pointer towards working of Secretary, JDA, the PIO , Legal Assistant.
DLM, head of Revenue Wing can see in reply to Ist Appeal in S.No.1 it has been informed that "Act does not permit creation of information, The information sought by the applicant is not available in the shape" but if it be matched wrt reply in Ist reply, where Sec 8(1)(b) was quoted, contradicts & raised clear cut questions on Legal Assistant concerned as this is legal language reply, otherwise it was simply asked for the noting made by concerned junior officers, who dared to over rule then VCs clear cut orders passed vide No. PS/430 dtd 11,08,2018 till day .
In reply to S. No. 2 after Ist Appeal it has been replied that "Act does not permit creation of information, The information sought by the applicant is not available in the shape" but shocking to mention here that it was simply asked to provide notings made after communication of Dv Com Jammu from 19.09.2023 but in previous reply Sec 8(1)(b) was quoted & information was sought by applicant on her file & not a 3rd party .
However, observing foul, Div Com again fired a tough letter over a long pending issue vide dtd 17.05.2025 to VC JDA with copy to applicant & again called detailed report by 3 PM on same day vide No. 902/Divcom/P&S/296/1320-22 dtd. 16.05.2025 but it has to be looked & enquired into, whether, VC bothered to provide the report by 3 PM.
However the said final report of DC Samba was forwarded by Div com to VC JDA vide letter dated 23.06.2025 & ATR was also sought for actions followed by other communications to resolve the long pending issue but till day Revenue Wing of JDA headed by DLM is throwing case here & there despite clear cut report of Tehsildar Bari Brahmna forwarded by DC Samba raised some questions of malafidies, lack of knowledge, causing intentional delay in public works on Revenue Officers of JDA headed by DLM and also challenging report forwarded by Div Com/DC Samba?
In reply to S.no.3, now it has been replied that "Demarcation line of PWD Line is not found in the records as land transferred to JDA 2004", then why they are asking for same in applicants case over a decided issue adjoining to JDAs land?
In reply to para 4, now it has been replied that 13 NOCs are pending since more than 30 days but previously it was replied that no NOC is pending creates proved doubts on working of such like officers, needed to be enquired by VC over these 13 pending NOCs?
Now in reply to S.no 5 it is again strange to mention here that simple information was sought on JDA Lands, which are not fenced with quantity but a shocking reply has been proved that Revenue Officers are not aware of the quantity & details of JDA lands, which are open & which has to be fenced, which are causing encroachment by land grabbers in later stage, which is proved from the reply that concerned officers are not aware of their lands, which are needed to be fenced, a serious issue to be looked into by the VC JDA?
Above all it is to mention here that after a request by the applicant, Div Com Jammu again communicated to VC JDA for action taken report at the earlies vide No. 502/Misc/ Jmu/ 25/799 Dated. 08.10,2025, which is again awaited.
However, snapshots of contradictory reply, below with CTN speak working of Revenue Wing headed by DLM.
