CBI probe ordered in Rs 25,000 Crore Roshni Land Scam by J&K High Court.

All Roshni Allottments held Void Ab Initio. Roshni Act also declared Unconstitutional. 

Case: PIL 41/2014 titled Ankur Sharma V  State and Ors  

CMP 48/2014 filed by  Ankur Sharma, Advocate. 

09.10.2020: Jammu

In a petition CMP No. 48/2014 filed in PIL No  19/2011 by Ankur Sharma (Advocate & Chairman IkkJutt Jammu) seeking entrustment of Rs 25,000 Crores Roshni Land Scam, the biggest ever in the history of J&K, Division Bench of the J&K High Court comprising of Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice Rajesh Bindal allowing the petition handed over the investigation to CBI. Now CBI has to file Status report every 8 weeks before the Court. Chief Secretary is also made accountable for uniterrupted investigation. Investigations are also against officers in whose time period encroachments happened. Now DCs  and Div Coms will be held guilty of Contempt in case they do not cooperate in investigation.  

Earlier the Anti Corruption Bureau Jammu  (Vigilance) was investigating the matter and had registered 17 FIRs so far. Given the manner in which ACB J&K was handling the case, the court deemed it appropriate to divest it off the investigation simultaneously  handing it over to CBI. 

The culprits include Ministers/MLAs/Politicians, Bureaucrats (IAS/KAS)  and Land Mafia. Many big heads are likely to roll.

The Constitutional Validity of Roshni Act had earleir been challenged  in  PIL No.  41/2014 titled Ankur Sharma V. State of J&K and Ors. That consequentially led to the abrogation and repeal of Roshni Act  in 2018. Now, the High Court ordering a CBI probe in the implementation of this malicious Roshni Act is a big jolt against the corrupt and anti national elements.

Politicians, Bureaucrats Mafia are also categorised separately.
