“It was alleged that the Board purchased 392 kanals of land at scattered places. The management of JKCHC in connivance with officers/officials of Revenue department illegally occupied about 584 kanals of land which includes state land as well. The JKCHC then allotted the same to different persons by making plots,” the statement reads.

During the course of preliminary enquiry, ACB said that it was found that JKCHC acquired land at village Bain Bajalta for establishment of a housing colony.

“During the process of taking possession of land, the corporation illegally occupied state land measuring 111 Kanal and 17 Marlas. Apart from this, the corporation also occupied 100 kanals and 15 marla land falling under Khasra Nos. 16 min, 17 min, 219 min, 573/34 min from the owners vested with proprietary rights of the land under J&K Agrarian Reforms Act 1976 and Govt. Order No. S-432,” the statement added.

During the course of enquiry, it was surfaced that the officers/officials of JKCHC and Revenue department in furtherance of a well-knit conspiracy hatched among themselves and the beneficiaries, by abuse of their official position, paved way for transfer of rights of the land for establishing a housing colony by the JKCHC in violation to the government provisions. Dishonestly and fraudulently misrepresenting facts, they conferred undue benefits upon themselves, the corporation and the beneficiaries, it reads.

“These omissions and commissions on the part of officers/officials of the JKCHC and the Revenue department including Bharat Bhushan Sharma, the then Managing Director J&K Cooperative Housing Corporation; Shesh Paul Salgotra, the then Tehsildar Jammu; Sanjay Badyal, the then Tehsildar Jammu; Mahesh Chander the then Naib Tehsildar Sidhra; Farooq Hussain, the then Patwari Halqa Bain Bajalta Jammu; Nek Mohammad, then Patwari Halqa Bain Bajalta Jammu; the beneficiaries and others constitute offences punishable under Section 5(1)(d) read with section 5(2) of J&K Prevention of Corruption Act Svt. 2006 and U/s 420, 465, 467,468, 471 and 120-B/RPC. Accordingly a case FIR No. 02/2025 has been registered in Police Station ACB Central,” the statement reads, adding that further investigation in the case is going on.
