Court withdraws non-bailable warrant against Farooq Abdullah in JKCA ‘scam’ case Srinagar:On Thursday, a Srinagar court delivered a significant verdict in the alleged scam involving the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA), withdrawing the non-bailable warrant issued against National Conference President and former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah. The court made this decision after hearing arguments from his lawyers and considering the status of the case.Indeed, the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) court in Srinagar had previously issued a non-bailable warrant against Farooq Abdullah after charges were framed in the case related to alleged financial irregularities at the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA). The court stated that the accused should appear before the court.However, during the hearing on Thursday, lawyers representing Farooq Abdullah informed the court that their client was willing to cooperate in the case and had no intention of evading the judicial process. The court then ordered the recall of the warrant and set a new date for further hearing.The case relates to alleged irregularities in funds worth crores of rupees at the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association. Allegations of irregularities in the use of the association’s funds were initially investigated by the Crime Branch of the Jammu and Kashmir Police. During the investigation, several officials and office-bearers were questioned.An attempt was made to hold Farooq Abdullah, as the former president, responsible in this case, although he has previously dismissed these allegations as a political conspiracy.For now, Farooq Abdullah has received a major relief after the court withdrew the warrant, but the case related to the JKCA scam is still under judicial process and will be heard further in the future.
