The Jammu and Kashmir High Court on Monday pulled up former state minister Choudhary Lal Singh as it dismissed with costs his fresh petition against an eviction notice for vacating government accommodation here.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice (Acting) Justice Tashi Rabstan and Justice Rajesh Sekhri held that the application has been filed with the sole intention to prolong his unauthorised occupation and is an “abuse of the process of law”.
On November 15, a single bench of the high court dismissed Singh’s petition against the eviction notice and directed him to vacate the government bungalow at the posh Gandhi Nagar area of Jammu within six weeks.
