Early Times Report

JAMMU, Oct 25: The J&K High Court Bar Association Jammu (JKHCBAJ) has decided to suspend work till October 30 over the State Administrative Council's (SAC's) decision to confer the powers of registration of documents like sale deeds, gift deeds and other miscellaneous documents upon the Executive Magistrate i.e. Sub Divisional Magistrate, Assistant Commissioners & Tehsildars.
The J&K High Court Bar Association, Jammu, in an emergent meeting of its office bearers and many other members, held here today thoroughly discussed the decision of SAC to confer the powers of registration of documents like sale deeds, gift deeds and other miscellaneous documents have been conferred upon the Executive Magistrate i.e. Sub Divisional Magistrate, Assistant Commissioners & Tehsildars. It was unanimously decided in the meeting to call upon the authorities concerned, so that it is ensured that the registration of documents takes place within the premises of Court Complex. The aforesaid decision has been taken in the larger interest of the public in general and Advocates fraternity in particular, in as much as allowing the Executive Magistrates to register the documents outside the Court Complex would amount to giving them vide liverage and discretion to misuse their powers, as there are general complaints by public against the Revenue officials, that they indulge in malpractice while issuing Fard Intkhab, attesting mutations and even, the allegations are leveled against them that huge transactions of money takes place thereby putting the public in general to lot of inconvenience, including encouraging corrupt practice.
The members of the Bar Association decided to take up the matter with the Chief Justice, High Court of J&K and all other concerned authorities so that there is no scope of corrupt practice while allowing the Executive Magistrates to register the above said documents.
The members of the Bar Association unanimously opposed the decision of the Government and called upon the authorities to make arrangements for registration of the documents within the premises of Court Complex by providing sufficient infrastructure in the form of official accommodations and other secretarial assistance, failing which the Bar Association shall take all necessary steps required in this behalf to ensure that the demand of the lawyers fraternity which is in larger public interest is met. Finally, it was decided to convene a meeting of the members of the Executive Committee on October 30 in Justice Dr Adarsh Sen Anand Library, High Court of J&K Jammu, at 12:30 PM to discuss further course of action and it is also decided to abstain from the work on October 30 from all the courts including High Court Subordinate Courts Tribunals & Commissions etc. (JNF)
