DB directs newly impleaded hotel owners to respond to PDA's affidavit PIL seeking demolition of illegal constructions at Patnitop 11/21/2018 11:00:35 PM Early Times Report JAMMU, Nov 21: A Division Bench of the State High Court comprising Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice Rajesh Bindal in a PIL filed by Harcharan Singh owner of Crystal Hotel and Restaurant at Patnitop seeking demolition of the illegal/unauthorized buildings raised in Green Buffer Areas of Patnitop has directed the newly impleaded owners of Hotels Forest View and Green Top to file their response to the affidavit filed by Patnitop Development Authority before the next date of hearing. The advocates for the petitioner invited the attention of the Division Bench to the two fresh miscellaneous applications filed by owners of Hotels Green Top and Forest View situated at Village Karlah, Patnitop seeking their impleadment as party respondents, which was acceded to by the DB. Advocate Rahul Pant appearing for the petitioner submitted in the open court that the affidavit/status report filed by PDA is just a tip of the iceberg as there are huge violations of Master Plan and Building Laws by several Hoteliers in Patnitop. The advocate appearing for newly impleaded Hotel Forest View submitted that the present PIL is not filed by a bonafide person and the said petition is an abuse of process of law as the petitioner has himself violated the master plan and raised the construction of Hotel "Crystal" at Patnitop without obtaining building permission from Patnitop Development Authority. After considering the rival submissions the Division Bench headed by Chief Justice Gita Mittal issued directions that the PDA and other authorities shall proceed in the matter in accordance with law. The Division Bench further directed that PDA shall be given assistance by the Police Department, Revenue Department, Town Planning and Forest Department.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
