Officials said, the officials of the revenue department of Jammu district deliberately ignored the provisions of the Illumination Act and benefited the illegal occupiers. CBI spokesperson RK Gaur said that in one such case, the revenue department officials wrongly handed over the ownership rights of the state land to some ineligible persons, causing huge losses to the state exchequer. The second case relates to a businessman from Gandhinagar and unknown officials of the revenue department of the Jammu Development Authority.
