Jammu Mar 10: Crime Branch has booked the then Revenue officials & private persons for allegedly changing the ownership rights of complainants over the huge spread of land measuring 153 kanals and 8 marlas at Nandini.
According to official spokesperson Crime Branch, Jammu has registered a criminal Case u/s 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B RPC r/w 5(2)P.C Act Svt. 2006 against Daya Singh, the then Tehsildar Settlement and Darshan Lal Patwari, Devi Dayal S/o Dhani Ram, Tara Chand, Sardari Lal, Sant Ram Sons of Kesar, Rattan Singh, Raghuvir Singh Haqiqat Singh, Joginder Singh, Surjeet Singh sons of Shanker Singh, Vikram Singh and Waryam Singh Sons of Ghasitoo all residents of Nandni Tehsil Jammu for changing the ownership rights of complainants over the major chunk of land measuring 153 kanals and 8 marlas.
Brief facts of the case are that a written complaint forwarded by Learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jammu was received in Crime Branch, Jammu wherein the complainants namely Sukhdev Singh and another had alleged that Smt. Dhan Devi D/o Amar Singh was the owner of land comprising khasra Nos. 32, 32min, 38, 39, 59, 107, 108, 109, 109min and 153 measuring 241 kanal 8 marlas situated at village Nandni Tehsil & District Jammu and after her death, her estate devolved upon her son Sukhdev Singh and one Lakhan Singh.
The said Lakhan Singh also expired and his estate devolved upon complainant No. 2 Prem Singh and his four brothers, mother and sisters in equal share. Prem Singh, his mother and sisters had appointed Bharat Singh as their attorney to look after and protect their interests. One Daya Singh, the then Tehsildar Settlement and Patwari Darshan Lal entered into a criminal conspiracy with the accused and by sheer abuse of their official position attested Mutation No. 61 dated 20.03.1995 changing the ownership rights of complainant over 153 kanal and 8 marlas of land and conferred the ownership rights upon the accused persons mentioned in the complaint. They even tampered with the records for monetary gain and further attested Mutation No. 111 dated 26.08.1998 with respect to land measuring 32 kanals in khasra No. 32. The said Mutation was attested by invoking Section 121 of the Land Revenue Act even when there was no settlement going on in village Nandni. Similarly, 44 kanal 8 marlas of land in khasra No. 107, 108, 109, 153 and 9 kanals of land in khasra No. 109 was illegally mutated by invoking Section 121 of Land Revenue Act despite the fact that no settlement was going on in the village Nandni at that time.
On receipt of this complaint, an enquiry was initiated in Crime Branch, Jammu and during the course of enquiry, the then Revenue Officials changed the nature of land from Ghair-Mumkin Choi to Warhal Awal in the revenue record by sheer misuse of their official position with the intention to give undue benefit to the accused persons and accordingly a formal case stands registered and investigation of the case is on.
