Waqf Board Orders Valuation Of Commercial Properties Across J&K

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Waqf Board here has launched a comprehensive exercise for valuation of its hundreds of commercial properties across the Union Territory.
“Continuing with its reformative agenda initiated under the leadership of Chairperson, Dr Darakhshan Andrabi, J&K Waqf Board has started an exhaustive Valuation exercise of its hundreds of commercial assets spread across the UT of Jammu & Kashmir,” news agency KNO quoted a statement as having said.
Interestingly, despite being the second largest asset-rich organisation in the UT after the Govt itself, no significant efforts have been made till date for assessment of Commercial Properties by the previous authorities at the helm of affairs in Waqf over the last several decades, revealed the sources in Waqf, it said.
In an order issued by Executive Magistrate, Tehsildar J&K Waqf Board, it has been revealed that, in absence of proper valuation, “random assessment values have been used to insure commercial properties in the past and that has also created difficulties in settlement of claims with insurers”.
The move is also expected to “result in creation of a permanent data base for smooth rent assessment of structures in future”.
The Administrators and other Waqf Supervisory staff have been directed to facilitate and provide all necessary support & manpower for smooth conduct of the exercise, the order said.

Kashmir Records Dismal Performance In JKAS Results

[ad_1]
by Maleeha Sofi
SRINAGAR: In the JKAS results declared by Jammu & Kashmir Public Service Commission, Kashmir has poorly performed. Though the administrative service has historically not attracted Kashmir youth, it is said to be one of the lowest performances of the Kashmir division in recent years.
Jammu Kashmir Public Service Commission in Srinagar
The results select 187 positions that the GAD had referred to Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC). As many as 648 candidates appeared in the interviews after qualifying Mains exams.
Of the 187 candidates, 90 candidates were selected in Open Merit. The rest of the successful candidates – making more than half of the total, fall under different reserved categories. Some candidates from reserved categories have secured their selection in open merit as well.
The reserved category is a major basket of the list. Of them, 22 candidates belong to Scheduled Caste (SC) – six of them have secured their seats in Open Merit as well – 19 candidates belong to Scheduled Tribe (ST), 26 candidates belong to Residents of Backward Area (RBA) – eight of them also fall in Open Merit, 18 candidates belonged to Economically Weaker Section (EWS), three candidates belong to Physically Handicapped Category (PHC), nine candidates belong to Pahari Speaking People (PSP) – two of them secured their seats among Open Merit also, eleven candidates belong to Actual Line of Control/ International Border (ALC/IB) and four of them secured their seat among Open Merit, eight candidates belong to Social Caste (SLC) and one of them secured the seat among Open Merit.
The list shows that as many as 31 candidates, who had appeared from Srinagar Centre, made it to the finals. Insiders said there could be a few more from Kashmir, who, for logistical reasons, could have written their examinations from the Jammu centre.
The JKAS comprises three allied services – junior scale JKAS, JKPS and Accounts service. Of the 187 candidates 56 will be absorbed into junior scale JKAS, 71 into Jammu and Kashmir Police Service and 60 will go to the Jammu and Kashmir Accounts Service.
The preliminary examinations for the JKAS were conducted on October 24, 2021, in which 20790 candidates appeared. Of them, 4462 candidates qualified for mains, conducted between April 8, 2022, and April 18, 2022. Only 3916 candidates appeared in all the papers. Finally, 648 candidates qualified for the Personality Test (Interview). The interviews were conducted between December 5, 2022, and January 19, 2023, and the final was out within twelve hours of the culmination of the interview process.

This selection was one of the few lists for coveted positions that JKPSC did in record time in comparison to earlier lists.

SC Asks J&K To Not Demolish Houses In Roshni Land; Refuses To Stay Govt Order For Removal Of Encroachments

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: On Friday, the Supreme Court of India refused to stay a circular issued by Jammu & Kashmir government directing deputy commissioners to remove encroachments on State Land including Roshni Land and Kachharie land by January 31, 2023, reported LiveLaw.in.
A bench of Justices MR Shah and CT Ravikumar, though expressed its disclination in not passing an order today, it orally asked the Union Territory to not demolish any houses.
“We are not passing any order today. You instruct them orally not to demolish any houses. But we will not grant a general stay…. others should not get benefit,” the bench orally told the counsel of J&K, according to report published in Livelaw.in.
During the hearing, the advocate for the petitioner argued that many tribals are residing on the land and took the Court through the reliefs prayed for.
“If stay is granted then it will benefit land grabbers also?”, Justice Shah asked.
The counsel appearing for the Union Territory clarified that the circular is mainly focused on the Roshni land. He also questioned the locus of the applicants.
“The Application was served on me yesterday. It does not even mention that the applicants live there”, he pointed out while adding that the said land only had shops and such establishments.
The Court then adjourned the matter. The matter was mentioned before the Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, earlier this week.

The Jammu and Kashmir government, on January 9, directed the removal of all encroachments on State Land, including Roshni Land and Kachharie land, by January 31, 2023. The order was passed while several review petitions challenging Roshni Act Judgment remain pending before the High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
In 2020, the Jammu and Kashmir High Court held that the Jammu and Kashmir State Land (Vesting of Ownership to the Occupants) Act 2001, [popularly known as Roshni Act] is completely unconstitutional.
