The first case has been registered against unknown officials of Revenue Department, Jammu on the allegations that the Revenue Department officials conferred undue benefits upon the illegal occupants of the state land by intentionally ignoring the laid down provisions of Roshni Act and rules, thereby conferring ownership rights of the state land wrongfully to selective undeserving persons and hence inflicted huge monetary loss to the State exchequer.
The second case relates to similar misuse of authority in Samba district.
