The respondent No.4 also asked the petitioner to release the record seized in FIR No.18/2015 which he declined. Resultantly the Rajesh Shavan Director Land Record became inimical to the petitioner and threatened to teach him a lesson.
That the petitioner and his wife have purchased two kanals of land from one Pushpinder Singh and thereafter availed housing loan of Rs.33.50 lacs from the bank for raising the construction over the said plot. The respondent No.4 who is the Director Land Record unnecessarily started harassing the petitioner and poured in three anonymous complaints in the name of fictitious persons alleging therein that the petitioner has encroached over the Shamlat deh land. The matter was enquired into by the office of His Excellency the Governor of Jammu and Kashmir through the Deputy Commissioner Jammu who have reported that the allegations levelled in the complaint are misplaced and baseless. The said report has been accepted by the Government. Even the matter was enquired into two other independent agencies i.e. SSP Jammu, SSP (CID) SB Jammu and State Vigilance Commission. Even the respondent No.5 has also enquired into the matter through its field agency and vide No.SDM/JN/R/2016-17/486 dated 11-06-2016 submitted the report to the S.P. Rural Jammu.
