Srinagar, June 10: Following J&K High Court directions for restoring Collectors powers to Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Chadoora for undertaking land acquisition on Semi Ring Road in Chadoora sub division , officer has been transferred from the post within a week's time and has been posted as SDM Gulmarg.
As reported already acting Chief Justice of High Court Alok Aradhe had earlier directed that all the record of land acquisition in Chadoora sub division in Budgam be immediately transferred to Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Chadoora so that he can take up the process of land acquisition in his sub division which until now had been undertaken by Assistant Commissioner (Revenue) Budgam. Before the said record could be transferred to SDM Shabir Ul Hassan , he was transferred.
After being ignored to perform his duties collector land acquisition in Chadoora sub division , SDM Chadoora Shabir Ul Hassan had written a letter (copy available with Early Times) to DC Budgam wherein SDM / Collector requested Deputy Commissioner Budgam to transfer land acquisition record from ACR Budgam's office to Chadoora , but inspite of a lapse of more than 7 months the record is yet to be transferred to SDM's office and people continue to suffer. As some locals of Kuzwera Chadoora had filed a petition for payment of unfair compensation by Government , this matter was also agitated in the writ petition which was listed at serial no 10 (supplementary cause list). Counsel for the petitioners Advocate Altaf Haqqani agitated that farmers are paid unfair compensation during land acquisition. To this lawyer representing National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) reiterated that NHAI is ready to pay 4 times more compensation to affected farmers provided J&K Government adopts central Land Acquisition Act. Justice Aradhe directed the Government to transfer record to SDM Chadoora plus payment of fair compensation. |
