Allahabad high court on granted bail to senior Samajwadi Party leader and Rampur MP Azam Khan’s wife Dr Tanzeen Fatima and their son Mohd Abdullah Azam Khan in a case where they had allegedly got allotment of a state property by cheating.

Quality Bar property controversy was a hotel, allotted in March 2014 in the name of Abdullah and Tanzeen Fatima after their bid of Rs 1,200 per month was found to be highest.
Allowing the bail application of Abdullah and her mother Tanzeen Fatima, Justice Siddharth directed the trial court to expeditiously decide the case, preferably within one year.

FIR was lodged against Tanzeen Fatima and her son Abdullah on November 21, 2019, under section 420 (cheating) and other sections of IPC at police station Civil Lines, Rampur district, alleging that a property, which was under the administration of district magistrate, was illegally let on rent to the applicants.

The petitioners’ counsel had taken the plea that Tanzeen Fatima took the property on rent in the bonafide belief that property belonged to Zila Sahkari Vikas Sangh, Rampur and was not aware of the fact that it belonged to district administration. Further, the applicants were falsely implicated in this case due to political rivalry.

“Even if it is accepted that the property belonging to the state had been let out by the Zila Sahkari Vikas Sangh, Rampur to the applicant illegally, then the termination of the tenancy was the only remedy,” argued the petitioner’s counsel.
