Plea by 2 IAS officers in gun licence scam rejected by J&K High Court
Two senior IAS officers, Panduran Kondbaroa Pole and Shahid Iqbal Choudhary, have had their plea to intervene in a PIL regarding the gun licence scam rejected by the Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court. The officers are among nine IAS officers under investigation by the CBI for allegedly issuing thousands of gun licences to people in violation of rules.
The court dismissed their application, stating that it found no merit in their apprehension that authorities would not apply "a proper application of mind" unless directed by the court. The CBI probe covers 274,000 to 278,000 arms licences issued between 2012 and 2016, allegedly in collusion with middlemen and gun dealers.
