The Roshni Act and Land Scam - Jammu and Kashmir

The Roshni Act

The genesis of the scam lies in the Jammu and Kashmir State Land (Vesting of Ownership to the Occupants) Act, 2001 known popularly as 'Roshni Act'.

The Roshni land scam was thrust into the spotlight after a judgment was delivered by the Jammu & Kashmir High Court on October 9, 2020, ordering a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
