JAMMU, Dec 16: Special Judge Anticorruption Kashmir R N Wattal has rejected the bail application of Abdul Rashid Malla, Naib Tehsildar Rawalpora Srinagar in Disproportionate Assets case.
After hearing both the sides, the court observed, “in recent times we are witnessing the plague of corruption effecting every department with certain exceptions. The influx of corruption and its intensity is much in Revenue Department where the officers/officials indulge in acts of corruption so as to mint money to become rich in very short period of time”.
“The petitioner being Naib Tehsildar has accumulated disproportionate assets to his known source of income and this case has assumed public importance and any concession of bail in favour of petitioner will be denounced by the society and faith of a common man on this esteemed institution may be eroded”, the court further.
With these observations, court rejected the bail application.
