It was found that Planning Sub-zone A-13 (Renzpal village of Halqa Laripora) having sizable population already residing, and being contiguous with already de-notified area was wilfully ignored to be de-notified instead of which, for personal gains, sub-zone A-14, inaccessible and situated on the other side of Sheeshnag, Nallah of river Lidder was recommended with criminal intent for de-notification. The habitation of Bradhanji was also kept green by the accused despite having sizable population. The other accused were also found to have purchased land in de-notified area.
