Jammu & Kashmir High Court Seeks Compliance On Eviction Of Unauthorized Occupants From Govt Accommodations

Live Law  

The Jammu & Kashmir High Court addressed a Public Interest Litigation concerning the continued occupation of government-provided accommodations by former ministers and political persons who no longer held positions entitling them to such residences. Chowdhary, criticised the inaction of the Estates Department, noting that requests had merely been made to the unauthorised occupants without issuing eviction orders or imposing commercial rental charges. The court expressed its dismay at the Estates Department's approach, noting that merely making requests to unauthorized occupants, rather than issuing eviction orders, demonstrated a lack of commitment to enforcing the law. The High Court directed the respondents to submit a comprehensive status report detailing the measures taken to evict the unauthorized occupants and to explain why commercial rental charges had not been imposed during the unauthorized occupation.
