After hearing hectic arguments from the parties for the last four days, the High Court today heard and reserved its order on anticipatory bail plea of Mukhtar-ul-Aziz the Joint Director Handloom, who
has been accused of fraudulently causing a loss of Rs one crore to the state exchequer by showing non-entitled beneficiaries for compensation.
Justice Mohammad Yaqoob Mir who heard the matter has reserved the order. However, according to Nisar Hussain Shah, the deputy advocate general, court did not issue any interim order or stay on Aziz’s arrest.
“We submitted relevant records which include the documents seized by the vigilance department from many offices in connection with an allegation of fraudulent and dishonest payment made in the year 2010 to non-entitled
beneficiaries,”Shah told Kashmir Times.
According to vigilance department the investigations have revealed that Mukhtar-ul-Aziz, Collector Land Acquisition (Additional Deputy Commissioner, Srinagar) and T.K. Sadhoo, Executive Engineer Construction
Division, Ganderbal fraudulently and dishonestly caused a loss of Rs.1.00 Crore to the state exchequer by showing non-entitled beneficiaries for compensation.
On December 28, senior lawyer Reyaz Jan who represents Aziz in court had prayed that his client has been unnecessarily dragged into a controversy. On December 24, a special anti corruption court had rejected an application
seeking anticipatory bail for Aziz in connection with vigilance FIR number 25 of 2011 registered against him and executive engineer T K Sadhoo.
However, the additional special anti-corruption judge Jawad Ahmad rejected
the bail plea made by Aziz’s counsel Reyaz Ahmad Jan.
