Jammu, July 8: In the much publicized Public Interest Litigation (PIL) highlighting hushing up of Chatta Sunjwan land scam, the Division Bench of the State High Court comprising Justice Dhiraj Singh Thakur and Justice Janak Raj Kotwal extended four weeks further time to the General Administration Department (GAD) to file the ATR pursuant to the directions already issued by the Court on May 12. After hearing both sides the Division Bench extended four weeks further time to the General Administration Department to file Action Taken Report in terms of the directions already passed by the Division Bench on May 12, 2015 on the basis of the enquiry report submitted by the Divisional Commissioner, Jammu as the Government of J&K had issued Govt. Order No.1083-GAD dated 20-10-2014 appointing Sh. Shantmanu (IAS) the then Divisional Commissioner, Jammu as an enquiry officer to conduct the enquiry in the matter as the previous enquiry officer Sudhanshu Pandey (IAS) had not finalized the enquiry proceedings.
Counselor appearing for petitioner submitted that after considering the an enquiry report the Division Bench on May 12, 2015 had directed the General Administration Department to file Action Taken Report in the matter but till date the ATR has not been filed.
Meanwhile Senior AAG Seema Khajooria Shekhar appearing for GAD sought some more time to comply the directions issued by the Division Bench on May, 12, 2015 and assured the Court that the ATR will be filed before the next date of hearing. Upon this the Division Bench comprising Justice Dhiraj Singh Thakur and Justice Janak Raj Kotwal extended four weeks further time to the GAD to file the ATR pursuant to the directions already issued by the Court on May 12, 2015. The Division Bench further directed the Registry to list this PIL for further consideration in 3rd week of August, 2015.
Pertinent to mention in alleged Chatta Sunjwan Land Scam, the Government of J&K had earlier appointed Sudhanshu Pandey (IAS) the then Divisional Commissioner, Jammu (now on central deputation) to identify the officials responsible for transfer of any land in favour of SRK Associates in contravention of rules and to identify the officials responsible for mutation of 20 Kanals and 12 Marlas of State Land under Khasra No.1442 of Village Chatta Sunjwan, Jammu in favour of Ram Kumar one of the partners of SRK Associates in contravention of rules and to identify the officials responsible for including State Land under the lay out plan of residential colony of SRK Associates.
