JAMMU: A Division Bench of J and K High Court comprising Justice Dhiraj Singh Thakur and Justice Bansi Lal Bhat directed to file fresh status report regarding the steps taken for identifying the land and construction of the composite homes.
The direction came in response to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Viklang Chattra Trust through its Organiser Satya Pal Saraf regarding better care of Old Age Home.
AAG Ravinder Gupta appearing on behalf of Social Welfare Department said that land measuring 16 Kanals situated at Village Bhalwal has been identified for construction of composite home and in regard some steps have already been taken by the revenue field agencies.
Division Bench after going through the status report observed that nothing has been stated with regard to land for construction of a similar composite home at Srinagar and observed that this report appears to be contradictory to the one filed earlier by the Divisional Commissioner, Jammu wherein it was stated that 16 Kanals of land has been identified in Tehsil Nagrota Village Sri Khurd and Panjgrain and a similar chunk of land at Samboora Tehsil Pampore.
On account of confusion created between the two reports, senior AAG Seema Shekhar gave an undertaking to clarify the stand by next date of hearing. JNF
