J&K ACB Books Tehsildar, Girdawar & Patwari In A Fraud Case

Reasi, June 27: The Anti-Corruption Bureau has registered a case under section 5(1)(d) r/w 5(2) of the J&K Prevention of Corruption Act Svt. 2006 and 120-B RPC against the then Tehsildar of Reasi, along with the former Girdawar, the former Patwari, and several beneficiaries.

The ACB conducted a thorough verification process in response to allegations of wrongful compensation release during land acquisition proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act 1990.

The investigation revealed that the then Revenue Officers and officials involved in awarding land compensation for a specific land parcel in village Gran, Reasi, had unlawfully favored certain beneficiaries by disregarding relevant laws and instructions.

The verification uncovered that the individuals who received compensation were not legitimate claimants of the land.

In fact, the land under acquisition, which was recorded as shamilat-deh Hasab Rasad Khewat Maqbooza Malakan, had not been cultivated by the beneficiaries themselves in 1971. Despite this, a total amount of Rs. 78,48,750 was disbursed to them as compensation.

The then officers and officials involved in this case misused their official positions and conspired with the beneficiaries to unlawfully disburse the compensation, benefiting themselves and the beneficiaries financially.

Proceeding are underway to hold all those responsible accountable for their actions.
