JAMMU, July 17: A Special Anti-Corruption Court has declined a plea seeking registration of an FIR against a hotel owner, former revenue officials and retired J&K Bank officers over an alleged land encroachment at Jhajjar Kotli, but ordered the Crime Branch's Economic Offences Wing to conduct a preliminary enquiry into serious discrepancies concerning the identity and demarcation of the disputed land.
Special Judge Sonia Gupta passed the direction while disposing of an application filed by Inderjeet Singh, who had sought registration of an FIR against Barkada County Hotel owner Ajay Sharma, former Tehsildar Dansal Danish Rasool, former Patwari Parkash Chand and former J&K Bank Branch Managers Phool Singh and Arjun Singh Rathore.
