During the verification it revealed that then Naib Tehsildar Bharat Bhushan posted at Niabat Sohal in connivance with other revenue officials have changed the kind of land from GAir-Mumkin-Khad/Roar to to waryal Doam in khasra No. 99 (58 kanal 16 Marla) situated at Badgal Khurd Tehsil Akhnoor and in khasra No. 344 situated at Dhok Jagir Tehsil Akhnoor illegally which he was not competent to do so and due to their illegal acts, the beneficiaries sold the land to other persons and thereby it changed the ownership/possession of the said land in question.
According to the FIR that during the verification, it has come into forth that the Government of J&K had issued the circular No. 502/Circular/23/1347-80 dated 22.07.2006 with the directions that “No change in the kind of soil can be done by any officer below the rank of collector”.
Subsequently, the Government had made the policy regarding change of land use vide order No. 138-Reg (s) of 2016 dated 07.10.2016 for both and Urban & Rural areas. As per said policy, the district level committee under the chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner shall process the case and forwarded to Divisional Commissioner who in turn shall forward the same to the Administrative Department along with his recommendations. Moreover the Hon’ble High Court of J&K vide order dated Barial Bhushan the 10.07.2014 had passed the directions that “ construction in the areas of water body or abutting the water body shall remain stayed and further directed that the sale of land concerning the bed of river and the land recorded in the revenue record as khad also remained stayed”.
Despite having the knowledge of above said order passed by the Government of J&K as well as Hon’ble High Court J&K, the then Naib Tehsidlar Bharat Bhushan and Girdawar Balwant Raj then posted at Niabat Sohal Tehsil Akhnoor have violated the above said orders and by sheer abuse of their official position had transferred the land to the following persons by changing of possession and kind of soil from Gair-Mumkin-Khad/Roar to Waryal Doam in khasra No. 99 situated at Badgal Khurd Tehsil Aknoor and in khasra No. 344 situated at Dhok Jagir Tehsil Akhnoor.
