Jammu, March 11:Now, Govt issued one SO No. 439 dtd. 24.12.2021, followed by on line portal, the scheme for levy of charges for use of land as permitted in the Master Plan Areas..
Under the scheme permission for land use shall be granted strictly in accordance with permitted land use under such Master Plan or Zonal Plan but Govt did not acted on the Town Planning Officers & Revenue Officers, who wrongly recorded the land uses in the Master Plan or in the Revenue records.
Pertinent to mention here that J&K Development Act of 1970 clearly reads for framing of Zonal Plans immediatly after issuance of Master Plan to define Land Use in an actual ways but as MP-2032 was issued in March, 2017 but incometant CTPs did not bother to frame Zonal Plans by proving their deriliction of duties & non complaince of Govt orders & clear cut orders of then Governor over the issue otherwise by which people have been relieved of such huge charges, which now they have to pay for change of Land use in all area under MP.
In the otherside, if DC level bosses would have accorded test checks on Girdawaris, which are being done twice in a year followed by ACR/SDM/Tehsildars, which was ordered by the Govt, nor Gair Mumkin Khad Land issue was resolved by DCs byopen non compliance SRO 456 of 2017, otherwise the issue would have been resolved since years & constructions would have taken place & people would have not to pay such huge charges for change of Land Use, which are ordered now.
Above all it is to mention here that the Sec 11-A in development Act, which H&UDD had quoted in the order but MHA in the SO-3808 had only mentioned that no Revevenue Law/Act shall be applicable on the lands falling in MasterPlan areas then how H&UDD can ask innocents to pay such a huge ammount for change of Land Use othewise it was the fault of the department by not changing the Land Use after framing Zonal Plans, no doubts a matter of high level enquiry.
