Crime Branch files chargesheet in state land encroachment case in J-K's Rajouri

Jammu, Aug 8: The Crime Branch Jammu on Saturday filed a chargesheet against an accused for allegedly encroaching upon more than two-and-a-half kanals of state land in Rajouri district four years ago, an official said. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) filed the chargesheet against Yash Paul, a resident of Bhajwal village, in the Sunderbani Court of Judicial Magistrate First Class in the 2022 state land encroachment case, a spokesperson of the Crime Branch, Jammu, said. He said the case was registered at the Crime Branch (EOW) police station on a written complaint lodged by Acharya Rajesh Kumar Prashar, alleging that Paul, in connivance with some revenue and forest officials, encroached on the state land. During investigation, mutation no 4193 dated September 5, 2018 was found to have been attested in violation of government orders and was subsequently declared null and void ab initio (from the very start) by the Sunderbani additional deputy commissioner in December 2022, following quasi-judicial proceedings, the spokesperson said, adding that the mutation was cancelled from revenue records. In this context, mutation refers to the official recording of a change in property ownership or title within government land revenue records. The spokesperson further said the demarcation of the land in question was conducted by a team of revenue officials in presence of forest officials. The demarcation report was submitted by the revenue officials and it was found that Paul encroached on state land measuring 2 kanal 11 marla (approximately 1,290 square metres) in Bhajwal village, according to the official. On the basis of the evidence collected, he said the allegations were substantiated and the investigation was concluded with the filing of the chargesheet, along with the list of witnesses and seized documents for judicial determination.

Crime Branch Jammu registers FIR in overseas visa, job fraud case

Jammu, Aug 08: The Special Crime Wing (SCW) of Jammu's Crime Branch registered an FIR on Saturday in connection with an alleged overseas visa and employment fraud involving multiple accused persons, an official said. The case stems from a joint written complaint filed by several residents of Doda district. They alleged that Bilal Ahmad, a resident of Kishtwar's Dachhan area currently based in Dubai, induced them with promises of arranging visas and employment in Dubai, a SCW spokesperson said. Acting on these assurances, he said the complainants transferred substantial sums of money into the bank accounts of different individuals as instructed by the accused. During the preliminary enquiry, it surfaced that the funds were routed through the bank accounts of Yasir Arfat, Ashiq Hussain, and Moin Khan, who allegedly acted in coordination with the main accused, the spokesperson said. He said the evidence prima facie indicated a well-planned criminal conspiracy involving multiple people to cheat innocent job aspirants under the guise of providing overseas employment. Accordingly, the spokesperson said a formal case was registered on Friday against the accused persons under the relevant provisions of law, adding that the investigation will focus on tracing the money trail, identifying the role of each accused, and securing justice for the victims. The SCW advised the public to exercise utmost caution while dealing with individuals or agencies offering overseas jobs or visa services. It urged people to verify the credentials of such entities through authorised government channels before making any payments and to promptly report any suspicious activity to the nearest police station or helpline.

Justice an attribute of Allah

Two Holy Verses noted below while identical in emphasis lay stress on different aspects of imparting justice, as is apparent on finer reading of divine commands: O ye who believe! Stand firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your heart) lest you swerve, and if you distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well acquainted with all ye do (Al Nisa: 135) O ye who believe! Stand our firmly for Allah, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of others to you make swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to Piety: and fear Allah. For Allah is acquainted with acquainted with all ye do (Al Maidah: 08) Both the Holy Verses lay stress on justice being an attribute of Allah and doing justice without fear or favour in its essence means being witness to Allah, in other words stand firmly for Allah, as witnesses to fair dealing. The Holy Verses also emphasise that there is absolutely no space for swerving in justice, it has be fair play, even if it gets to be against yourselves, your parents, your kin, or against rich or poor. There is no room for the plea of protecting interestspersonal, or of kith and kin, or of rich or poor, as Allah is the ultimate protector. Justice has to hold, even if the subject of justice is known to harbour hatred against the one who stands to judge. Allah is acquainted with acquainted with all ye do emphasises that He is acquainted with what goes in the inner recesses of the one supposed to judge and play fair, as being just is next to piety.
