Sunil Mahajan s/o SK Gupta r/o 25/9 Trikuta Nagar Jammu has challenged the order No JDA/BP/2430 of August 30, 2007 whereby Sajjad Ahmed Bhat was allotted Hall/Shop No 209 (A-2) South Block, Bahu Plaza, Railhead complex Jammu, illegally/ arbitrarily by throwing established norms of allotment to the wind.
It has been further submitted in the petition that application of Sajjad Ahmed Bhat was entertained by the VC JDA solely for the reasons that he happens to be the younger brother of Chief Minister of the state Ghulam Nabi Azad and for this reason only the rules were thrown to winds to confer undue benefit upon the younger brother of the Chief Minister, petitioner alleged .JNF
