Jammu and Kashmir High Court questions state’s inability to evict ex-ministers/MLAs from official bungalows

It was hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) petition regarding unauthorized occupation of government bungalows by former ministers and former legislators in J&K.

The government recently told the Court that a total of 33 persons were found in the estate’s accommodation and all but two of them were asked to vacate the bungalows/houses immediately after the conclusion of the election process in J&K.

The counsel representing the petitioner has submitted that no steps have been taken to evict these unauthorized residents.

In response, the government lawyer said four of the residents have vacated their accommodation at the request of the Estates Department and others have also been asked to do the needful.
