The authorities have terminated the services of a judge who was appointed as judicial officer in 2000 on a fake Reserved Backward Certificate (RBA).
On the recommendations of the Full Court of High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, the Lieutenant Governor ordered the termination of services of Mohammad Yousuf Allai, civil judge (Jr. Division)/Munsiff (under suspension) with immediate effect.
Allai a resident of village Mirgund Tehsil claimed to have shifted to backward village Shilvat of Tehsil Sonawari and the certificate was also issued by Tehsildar Sonawari on 3-12-1996 in terms of SRO-126 of 1994. Under the SRO, any person residing in backward area for 15 years could claim the benefit of being a resident of backward area.
Registrar Vigilance (Judicial) in his report to the High Court in 2005 had held that neither in 1977 nor anytime had Allai migrated to Rakh Shilavat village from Mirgund.
As per the inquiry report, Muhammad Sadeeq Ganie, Chowkidar of Rakshilvat, stated that Muhammad Yosouf Allai didn’t reside in the village.
“Gh. Hassan, the lumberdar of the village, Rakhshilvat, too has clearly stated that neither he had ever seen the person, Mohammad Yosouf Allai nor any such person resides in village Rakhshilvat. Patwari Abdul Gani Baba has also stated that Muhammad Yosouf Allai did not reside in village Rakhshilvat when he was posted as Patwari of that village,” read the inquiry report.
