Government Has Filed Reconsideration Petition For Roshni Act

Government has filed a reconsideration petition to save influential people, not a common man: Roshni Land Scam.

The petition filed by the Jammu and Kashmir government seeking to reconsider the J&K High Court’s decision to dismiss the Roshni Act and take back the land granted under it has been termed as a conspiracy to give protection to a particular community.

Sharma has said that the government wants to save the big fish that occupy government lands worth crores of rupees under the guise of the Roshni Act, not the common man.

Advocate Ankur Sharma, who fought a long legal battle to get the Roshni Act rejected and a CBI inquiry into the allotment of land under it.

He has said that the common citizen of Jammu and Kashmir who occupies government land does not need the Roshni Act, Is already protected under the Egretian Act.

The government has filed this petition only to save former ministers, legislators, leaders, and bureaucrats who have occupied hundreds of Kanal government land.

Talking to media on the reconsideration petition filed by the government regarding the Roshni Act.

Ankur Sharma said that sections 3,4,515 and 26 of the Jammu and Kashmir Agrarian Act say that if a farmer is cultivating government land then the government cannot vacate it and under this law.

The farmer has the right to own the land. Sub-section two of section 26 says that if someone has government land for up to two canals and has built a house on it, then he can be given the ownership rights under the Aggregator Act.

If someone has possession of Nazul land in Jammu, then he can be made the owner under the Aggregator Act.

All the people whom the government is referring to in its petition are already protected under the law and the government can give them the ownership rights under the existing law.

The government has not done this for the last seventy years and is now demanding the High Court to start such a scheme in its name, to protect the common people.

Ankur Sharma says that the government really wants to protect those people who have occupied hundreds of kanals of land and plots are being built there to settle a particular community.

Pointing to some top officials sitting in the administration, Ankur Sharma said that these people have gone to the High Court to protect themselves.

Accusing them of changing the geographical conditions of Jammu under the guise of the Roshni Act.

Ankur Sharma said that Jammu was a Hindu majority region. Therefore, such black laws were brought under separatist thinking to settle the Muslim community here.

In order to change the geographical conditions of Jammu, a thoughtfully sponsored state-sponsored scheme was launched so that India could be ruined by Islamizing the whole of Jammu and Kashmir in the coming times.

Ankur Sharma said that he will not allow such intentions to be fulfilled and will dismiss the government’s review petition in the High Court.
