The Jammu and Kashmir High Court has said its order to the government to make Tehsil Kreeri functional does not provide for location and as such there is no need for clarification as was sought by the residents of Wagoora.
In his order, Justice A M Magrey has said: “…The words used in the order, of which vacation is sought, are ‘posting of Tehsildar in Tehsil Kreeri”. The order does not provide for location of Tehsildar’s office, therefore, needs no clarification.”
According to the Court, the petitioners (residents of Kreeri) in the writ petition in which it had issued orders for making Tehsil Kreeri functional by posting a Tehsildar, had sought directions against respondents to take all the administrative measures/steps, so as to make the newly created administrative unit (Tehsil Kreeri) functional and fill up the vacancies as available in the Teshil office Kreeri including that of Tehsildar Kreeri so as to ensure that the residents of Tehsildar Kreeri are not denied of the benefits/privileges and amenities to the administrative unit (Tehsil Kreeri).
“Location of Tehsildar’s office is not the subject matter of writ petition, but subject matter has reference to the prayer as mentioned above. Same needs no clarification,” Justice Magrey has said in its order. However, the court has issued notice in an application filed by the residents of Wagoora who seek impleadment as a party in the matter.
The court has asked Advocate Jehangir Iqbal Ganaie, the counsel for the residents of Kreeri to file reply within four weeks. The matter has been listed for hearing after ensuing vacations.
