During investigation it got established on the basis of records that Rekhi was not permanent resident of J&K State and hence was not entitled to be conferred Permanent Resident Status as per the provisions governing the subject in hand.
The accused revenue officers/officials namely Sher Singh, the then AC (R) Jammu, Sanjay Gupta, the then Assistant Settlement Officer Jammu, Mahesh Sharma, the then Naib Tehsildar (T) Jammu have by abuse and misuse of their official position with dishonest intention conferred illegal benefit/pecuniary advantage upon Suresh Kumar Rekhi while issuing PRC in his favour, the spokesman said.
