Jammu and Kashmir ex-MLAs’ eviction from government houses: Two bungalows vacated, AG tells court

Hindustan Times  

In the much-publicised public interest litigation seeking eviction of overstaying former ministers and ex-legislators from government bungalows, advocate general DC Raina on Thursday told the court that consequent upon action by the government of Jammu and Kashmir, two premises have already been vacated and six other occupants were in the process of vacating the government accommodation. He informed a division bench comprising the chief justice N. Kotiswar Singh and justice Moksha Khajuria Kazmi that Wazira Begum and Sonaullah Lone, two political leaders, vacated their accommodation. Advocate Ahmed vociferously argued that there cannot be two laws for a similar situation and recalled how the Jammu and Kashmir government evicted more than 200 politicians including two former chief ministers — Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti besides several former ministers from the government bungalows. The bench further directed the counsel for estates department to report instructions moved by former finance minister Abdul Raheem Rather who is seeking clarification that he has already vacated the government accommodation and his name should be removed from the list of occupants.
