JAMMU, Sept 22: In the much publicized Public Interest Litigation (PIL) regarding illegal constructions in Khads, Division Bench of State High Court comprising Justice Virender Singh and Justice Dhiraj Singh Thakur today granted week’s time to Jammu Development Authority for filing objections.
In the PIL, it has been mentioned that despite clear cut directions by the court regarding ban on sale and construction on Khads, the Jammu Development Authority has invited applications for allotments of plots in three colonies namely Gole Gujral Housing Colony, Roop Nagar Housing colony, Kot Bhalwal Housing Colony and the Bir-Pur Housing Colony.
“The perusal of the advertisement dated July 15, 2014 clearly shows that the proposed sites are adjoining to the nallahs and bank of River Tawi. Moreover, the revenue record of Bhalwal and Birpur clearly shows that the nature of the land is marked as Gair Mumkin Khad in the revenue extracts”, the petitioner said.
