Jammu, Feb 11: A Division Bench of J&K High Court comprising Justice Ali Mohammad Magrey and Justice Dhiraj Singh Thakur directed UT Government to evict forthwith all unauthorised occupants from Ministerial Bungalows/ Special Houses (A-type, B-type and C-type quarters) both at Jammu and Srinagar.
The court also directed respondents to ensure that outstanding rent from both authorised and unauthorised occupants of the aforesaid residential quarters is recovered, by even applying the provisions of Land Revenue Act.
The DB also directed Principal Secretary to Government, Estates Department to submit the details of unauthorised occupants evicted from Ministerial Bungalows/ Special Houses (A-type, B-type and C-type quarters) till date.
The Principal Secretary to Government, Estate Department, shall also provide the details of former ministers/legislators/retired officers/politicians who are occupying the Ministerial Bungalows/ Special Houses (A-type, B-type and C-type quarters) both in Srinagar and Jammu, within a period of two weeks.
Pertinent to mention here that Govt had itself formulated a Eviction Act but not bothered on ground by officers by adopting pick & choose as lot of Ex Minister/MLA/Others occupied/occupying Govt accomodations in open violations.
It should also be enquired that on whose orders, People are occupying Govt accomodations & the responsibility should be fixed.
