According to the Crime Branch Jammu that lodged by Renu Bala wife of Brij Mohan resident of Azad Colony Lower Roop Nagar, Jammu, duly endorsed by Munsiff, Jammu was received in Crime Branch wherein the complainant had alleged that one Ashok Kumar son of Sant Ram resident of Udhaywala, near Matador Stand, at present Shiv Nagar, Jammu being a resident of Pakistan was not entitled to be the Permanent Resident of the state but he in connivance with the revenue officials procured a reserved category certificate in-terms of SRO-294 by forging the records and the documents, vide File No. 946/SC/BCE dated 04-09-2010. It was also alleged that his name was shown in the voter list of 1984 as Ashok Kumar son of Sant Ram whereas, in the caste certificate it was shown as Ashok Kumar son of Anant Ram. It was further alleged that Ram Lal son of Anant Ram, Kamal Kishore son of Ram Lal and Brij Mohan son of Ram Lal also applied for the issuance of SC category certificate by projecting and referring said Ashok Kumar to be the real brother of Ram Lal and uncle of Brij Mohan and Kamal Kishore whereas, said Ashok Kumar was neither the real brother nor the uncle of the accused persons. However, all the accused persons obtained the category certificates in their favour on the basis of fake and forged documents in connivance with the revenue officials etc. SSP Crime Branch Mubassir Latifi said that during the course of verification it was found that Ashok Kumar, Ram Lal, Kamal Kishore and Brij Mohan got the PRC certificates issued in their favour by using the revenue documents of one Pishori Lal son of Anant Ram whereas the said Pishori Lal was not even remotely connected with them. The accused in furtherance of a criminal conspiracy obtained the PRC and other related documents viz. Ration Card, Voter list etc. pertaining to Pishori Lal and used the same fraudulently and procured the PRC in their favour in connivance with the revenue officials. It was further revealed that Ashok Kumar was son of Sant Ram who migrated from Pakistan and started living in Batala, Punjab and thereafter, in the year 1979-80 he came to Jammu and married one Sudesh Kumari and started living with his in-laws and that all the documents viz voter card, ration card etc. used for procuring the PRC belonged to the real fore-fathers of Sudesh Kumari. Similarly, SC category certificates were also procured by the accused persons on the basis of fake documents as the accused fraudulently prepared fake and manipulated records in convenience with the revenue officials in order to secure undue benefits for themselves and their family members. The omissions and commissions, therefore, on the part of Ashok Kumar son of Sant Ram resident of Udhaywala, Near Matador Stand, At Present Shiv Nagar, Jammu and Brij Mohan son of Ram Lal, Kamal Kishore son of Ram Lal, Ram Lal son of Anant Ram all residents of H. No. 360, Main Chowk, Shakti Nagar, Jammu, prima facie, constitute offences punishable u/s 420,465,467,468,471,120-B RPC. Accordingly, a formal case is registered in P/S Crime Branch, Jammu.
