Sources said the notices were served a couple of days ago.

Former Chief Minister’s were allotted official residences as per the J&K Legislature Members’ Pension Act, 1984 which was scrapped when the J&K Reorganisation Act of 2019 took hold on October 31, 2019. Omar and Mehbooba have possession of a bungalow each- Gupkar No.1 and Fairview House.
