Bunglow No. 7 located in Ghulami Bagh area of Jammu city.

Seema Shekher who represented the State Government before the single bench of Justice Bansi Lal Bhat. Adv. Ashish Sharma pleaded that Dr. Romesh Chander Sharma has been Minister of State for several years and has no house in Jammu city.

He further pleaded that the native place of the petitioner is right on the Indo-Pak border and is often subjected to firing from across the line of control. He further said that without keeping the security aspect of the ex-Minister in mind, Estates Department served him an eviction order vide Govt. order No. DDE/J/468 dated 16-07-2015 in respect of the bunglow allotted to him. Sharma said that the petitioner has been living with his family. He further said that the petitioner did file an appeal before the district judge who dismissed the same without appreciating the grounds taken by the petitioner. He said that in case, he is evicted from the house, he faces imminent threat to life. Adv. Seema Shekher who represented the State referred to the Government orders but the court issued notice to the State and listed the case for hearing on October 16.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
