When the PIL Came-up for hearing, Division Bench observed that the Pahalgam Peoples Welfare Organization has preferred this Public Interest Litigation basically for quashing of the Master Plan 2005-2025 prepared by the Pahalgam Development Authority and for its revision. The petitioner has also claimed for the completion of the investigation pursuant to FIR No. 27/2008 in accordance with the J&K Prevention of Corruption Act 2006 against the respondent Nos. 6, 7 and 8.
The order dated 31st March 2021 reveals that pursuant to the aforesaid FIR, investigations were completed and charge sheet was submitted against respondent Nos. 6 to 8, but the charge sheet so submitted has been quashed by the High Court and the matter is now sub-judice before the Supreme Court. DB observed that in view of the above, the said order mentions that the relief with regard to the completion of the investigation pursuant to the aforesaid FIR does not survive any longer and as such need not be considered and monitored. DB further observed that in regard to the quashing of the Master Plan 2005-2025, it is stated in the order that a new and revised Master Plan 2015-2032 has been enforced, the prayer in that regard has also come to an end inasmuch as the Master Plan 2005-2025 has ceased to exist. DB observed that Chasoo, AAG appearing for the Pahalgam Development Authority submits that the appropriate action in accordance with law has been taken for the cancellation of the effect of the said gift deeds and that the mutation entries in that regard has been reversed and grants two weeks' time to bring on record the relevant orders passed by the authorities concerned for changing the revenue entries.
