Rampur: Former cabinet minister Azam Khan’s troubles seem to be increasing once again in Rampur, UP. Actually, information has come to light that the Income Tax Department has issued a show cause notice to Azam Khan’s Mohammad Ali Johar Trust. It is being told that during the investigation, large scale financial irregularities have been found in the trust.
Seeks clarification regarding financial transactions and accounts
According to sources, the Income Tax Department has sought clarification from the Trust related to various financial transactions and accounts. If a satisfactory response is not received, action can be taken to cancel the registration of the trust. The Income Tax Department is also deeply investigating the documents related to the donation amount allegedly received by Mohammed Ali Johar Trust, its utilization and financial records.
Trust and university have been in controversies earlier also
It is noteworthy that Mohammad Ali Jauhar University is run in Rampur under this trust. The university and the trust have been involved in disputes in the past over land allocation, administrative and legal matters. Many cases related to the trust have been under hearing in Allahabad High Court and Supreme Court also.
The administrative and financial functions of the trust may be affected.
If the Income Tax Department’s action goes ahead, it may impact the administrative and financial functions of the Trust. However, no official response has come from the Trust in this matter yet. Now all eyes are on the next action of the Income Tax Department and the response given by the Trust.
Trust can also consider legal option

It is believed that if the allegations of financial irregularities are confirmed in the investigation, then its impact will not be limited to the trust only, but can also affect the functioning of the institutions related to it. At the same time, people associated with Mohammad Ali Jauhar Trust can also consider legal options in the entire case.
