Govt to Mahattas: Why Shouldn’t  Your Lease Be Cancelled and Property Taken Back

SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir government has served a notice to Mahatta for cancellation of the leasehold rights to the property on the Bund.

Kashmir’s first photo studio started in a houseboat.

The notice, a copy of which is in the possession of Kashmir Life, states that not only has the lease expired, Mahattas’ have not been paying the lease rents on the Nazool land. Further, the notice says that they have illegally sub-let the property without permission from the government.

As such being illegal occupants, the government has showcased them as to why the Nazool land should not be handed back to the Nazool organisation of the government by cancelling the expired lease. The notice was issued by the Assistant Commissioner, Nazool, Srinagar on July 12, 2021.

In spite of the contentious state of the lease, the Mahatta family have gone ahead and distributed the expired lease property among themselves – the heirs of the late Jagdish Mahatta, his widow and two sons. The original lessor, mentioned as warisdar in the notice, is the late Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah. The Abdullah family, it is believed, gets an annual rental of a few thousand rupees from the Mahattas who now it turns out are unauthorised occupants of this prime property.
