Shame SHAME JUDGES & POLICE of
Double Standards – charge sanjay dutt under TADA
- An appeal to honourable
supreme court of india
Hereby, HRW appeals to
the honourable supreme court of India to review the sentence given to
cine actor mr.sanjay dutt. He is charged under illegal possession of arms , the
stand of prosecution is biased . the culprit cine actor kept the arms knowing
fully well for what purpose it is being kept , he had had regular contacts with
anti-national underworld elements. Still he is not charged under either TADA or
MOCA WHY ? WHERE AS ORDINARY people who are WHO are
alleged to HAVE DONE LESSER QUANTUM OF CRIME THAN HIM ARE CHARGED WITH
TADA & PUNISHED SEVERALLY. WHY THIS DOUBLE STANDARDS BY THE JUDICIARY ?
HEREBY , hrw also appeals to honourable supreme court of india to make public
the transcript of underworld don abu salem's polygraph test , did sanjay dutt
had any links with abu salem or other anti national elements ? how many film
stars , sportspersons & politicians have regular contacts with underworld
elements more specifically dawood ibrahim & chota rajan and how many of
them have attended parties hosted by them in gulf countries ?
The corrupt
police & Judge go all the way out to
help rich criminals , they invent illogical ,
weird interpretations of laws and change
the sections they ought to be charged under , totally
altering the case in the very beginning itself.
These police foolishly charge a doctor in Orissa
under threat to national soveriegnity , they charge
little children under TADA under the charges of
giving lunch boxes to naxalites , charge a tailor under
TADA for stitching uniforms to naxalites. Where as the
one who is actively involved with master
minds of Bombay bLasts , stores
deadly arms & ammunition for their
terrorist activities is just charged
under section illegal possession of arms.
The Judge of TADA court who dropped
charges under TADA against Sanjay Dutt ,
the film personalities and other
hi-fi people who are supporting sanjay dutt
are aiding and abetting terrorism. They
must be charged for these crimes , must be
thrown out of india , let them settle down in
Pakistan / gulf the breeding ground of
terrorism. These people are too kind
towards Sanjay Dutt , have they
forgotten the sufferings of hundreds of
mumbaikars , death of innocents. These
hi-fi people are not civilized nor humane. Refer following
websites & read in detail how
indian legal system is manipulated in favor of Rich
& Mighty.
Match Fixing
Judges & Police
No Jail

& Police
Vostro
Account Scam &
Crimes of RBI
In cases involving
rich & mighty , celebrities , some of the judges & police
take favourable positions , file B – Reports to close the prosecution cases
is it for any personal gains to themselves ? The answer lies
in luxurious life styles , promotions , post retirement
postings of these judges , police and sudden
riches coming to their family members. Inspite of all these nexus it is
due to few honest judges & police these cases are coming to light
& becoming public. Sadly , these honest people are overpowered by
corrupt within the system and Indians are made to suffer
injustices. SHAME SHAME to such Judges &
Police of Double Standards.

Why pardon just Sanjay
Dutt: Daughter of another convict
Mumbai: As film stars
and politicians join the chorus for actor Sanjay Dutt's pardon, daughter of
Zaibunisa Kazi, who is facing similar charges as the actor, questions why her
mother should not also get the same support?
Daughter of 1993
Mumbai blasts convict, Zaibunisa said, "I wish I was a celebrity or my
mother was a celebrity or a sister of an MP. Even my mother would have got the
kind of support Sanjay Dutt is getting. If it is on humanitarian grounds then
why only Sanjay Dutt, why not Zaibunisa. Isn't she a human? Isn't she a citizen
of this country?
The daughter of
70-year-old reacting to the clamour over pardon for Dutt after the debate was
ignited by a comment by retired Justice Markandey Katju and which was followed
by the political class seconding his opinion.
Zaibunisa's 40
year-old daughter, who didn't marry so that she can fight her mother's battle,
is hopeful that a review potion will reduce the sentence.
Both Dutt and
Zaibunisa Kazi were charged for possessing illegal arms and ammunition and also
under the stringent TADA Act. While Zaibunisa got convicted under TADA, Sanjay
Dutt not only got an acquital under TADA but despite substantial evidence the
CBI did not challenge his acquittal in the Supreme Court.
Zaibunisa's lawyer
Sushil Kumar said, "She was not found in possession of any weapons, no
recovery was made from her, she did not give any confession. It was only on the
basis of a confession of a co-accused that she was convicted, it is
unfortunate."
Zaibunisa daughter
added, "It is not easy living with five daughters, being a single woman
and going through this. It is not easy and 20 years is a very long time."
While for the judicial system, 1993 Mumbai Blasts case is a closed chapter, for
many the ordeal isn't over yet.
Not
Sanjay Dutt, real issue is to probe Bollywood-dons links
While
the TRP-hungry media and elitist audience are busy shedding tears for Sanjay Dutt
after the Supreme Court sent him to jail for illegally possessing deadly
weapons, but is anybody feeling concerned about how the links with the
underworld has seriously affected our favourite Bollywood? Instead of focusing
on the humanitarian-non-humanitarian debate, isn't it more prudent if we raise
a voice to back the Indian legal system in cleaning up the tinsel town from the
grey shadow of the evil underworld which threatens the national security today?
Bollywood
is not only a dream which attracts young talents but also an opportunity for
the mafia to make make money by alluring unsuspecting filmmakers into a
whirlpool from where there is no easy escape. Those who dare to defy the mafia
pays for it dearly. The link between the two world rocked the popular
imagination after the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts when the names of Dutt and film
producers lika Samir Hingora and Hanif Kadawala came to the fore, it was in the
1970s and 1980s when the nexus had surfaced although not as alarmingly. The
kidnapping of the producer of a hit Amitabh Bachchan-starrer of the early 1980s
was a big blow to the film industry in those times. Bollywood-underworld
connection was symbiotic in the initial years... In the initial years, the link
between the two world was more symbiotic. The underworld dons were easy sources
of finance while the film industry lent the glamour factor to add spark to
occasions organised by the dons and their aides. The latter also dictated film
plots and promoted the actors of their choice but the change in financial
fortunes as a result of the slump in the market started bringing the dons
closer to the film industry with desperate interests. Investing in good films
became a priority for the cash-strapped underworld men and once they made an
entry into the industry, non-monetary interests also gained prominence. As a
result, successful filmmakers and actors started to fall prey to the
underworld's evil designs. The intimacy of Mandakini or Heena Kausar with
underworld dons or presence of filmstars and dons in cricket stadium were once
matters of gossip and attraction for the common Indian but soon the consequence
of the nexus spilled over into the real life when 267 people were killed in
devastating serial blasts in Mumbai in 1993. ...but it turned violent gradually
The nexus turned more and more blood-stained with the gruesome killing of
popular filmmaker Gulshan Kumar in broad daylight in August 1997 for defying
Abu Salem's monetary demands. Producer Mukesh Duggal was also killed that year.
Attacks were also attempted on producer Rajiv Rai and senior filmmaker Subhash
Ghai over overseas rights of films, a few days before Kumar's murder. Three
years later, actor-turned-director Rakesh Roshan had a close shave after he was
shot at in Mumbai after he turned down demands to share profits accrued from
the overseas sale of Hindi blockbuster Kaho Na... Pyaar Hain. These, among many
other similar incidents, rewrote a new chapter in the underworld-Bollywood link
story and this fresh chapter said that the Bollywood wasn't relieved anymore.
The individual enmity between dons and filmmakers is a concern but the much
bigger concern is when the underworld is being used to threaten the country's
national security. Today, people like Dawood Ibrahim are not just dons looking
to make money but also instruments in the hand of Pakistan to carry out massive
destruction in our country. Are there more links between Bollywood and
underworld? We need to find out By adding elements of drama to Sanjay Dutt's
punishment, we are actually trivialising the bigger threat that the underworld
can pose to India's integrity through the soft target called Bollywood. Just
ensuring protection to one or two actor or debating whether Dutt should be
exonerated are not the needs of the hour. The actual task is to look for more
links between the glamour world and the underworld which have the potential to
harm our cause. The film and TV business have undergone a sea change in the
last 20 years and the underworld hasn't surely not sat back all these days. The
professionals attached to the film and TV industries are more vulnerable to be
manipulated today because of factors like globalisation and liberalisation and
it makes it equally challenging for the Indian state to tighten the national
security. Are we upto the mark to stop the emergence of more Sanjay Dutts? Film
professionals need to be more alert Delinking the Bollywood and the underworld
might not be completely possible for this matter involves human relations. But
while the protectors of the nation need to continuously monitor these
relations, it is also a big responsibility for the film professionals to ensure
that they do not let themselves and the country down by falling into the trap
laid by the underworld. Sanjay Dutt might have been an immature youth who made
a mistake by taking possession of an arm but the youngsters of this age should
learn from Dutt's mistake by heart. Filmstars are the nation's role models and
they can not afford to indulge in any kind of activity, even unsuspectingly,
that might lead to a major harm to their followers. It is thus not a time to
cry for Sanjay Dutt's punishment. If he has perished because of his own error,
let him but by displaying a soft corner for his stardom and seek his pardon, we
will send across dangerous signals. An entire nation can not be put in peril
just for one individual.
Bollywood actor Salman Khan will appear before a Sessions Court
on March 25, Monday, in the 2002 hit-and-run case.
The case came up before the Sessions Court after a magistrate
transferred the matter to that court by charging the actor with a more serious
charge of 'culpable homicide not amounting to murder'.
One person was killed and four injured when a Land Cruiser,
allegedly driven by Salman, ran over people sleeping on pavement in Bandra in
the wee hours of September 28, 2002.
Meanwhile, a Jodhpur court read out fresh charges against
Salman, Saif Ali Khan, Tabu, Neelam and Sonali Bendre for hunting blackbucks, a
protected species, in Rajasthan 14 years ago. Salman was charged under the
Wildlife Protection Act. Charges against him under the Arms Act have been
dropped. If convicted, the actors face up to six years in jail.
Black
Buck Murder & Hit Run Case of Salman Khan
Bollywood
films are known to promote the theory of good prevailing over evil. Now, it is
the turn of "real" to imitate the "reel". After actor
Sanjay Dutt, it the turn of Salman Khan to prepare himself to face the law for
"crimes" committed by him. The Supreme Court on Thursday, March 21
upheld actor Dutt's conviction under the Arms Act, but reduced his sentence
from six to five years in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case.
On
Saturday, March 23 a Jodhpur court framed fresh charges against four of the
accused and Salman's film industry colleagues in the 14-year-old-long Blackbuck
poaching case. The court of chief judicial magistrate, Jodhpur, Saturday read
out charges against four Bollywood stars -- Tabu, Sonali Bendre, Neelam and Saif
Ali Khan. However, the court stopped itself from reading the charges against
Salman, the main accused of the case, as he was not present in the court.
Earlier, Salman got exemption from appearing in the court on the ground that he
had to be out of the country for medical treatment. "Salman Khan was not
present in the court today (Saturday) as he in not in the country and has gone
overseas for treatment," Hastimal Saraswat, Salman Khan's counsel, said.
The next court hearing on charges against Salman will be held on April 27. The
charges against the accused have been framed under the Wildlife Protection Act
1972 relating to hunting and inciting to poach blackbucks, an endangered
species. The actors are likely to face imprisonment of up to six years if they are
sentenced guilty by the court. Moreoevr, Salman will appear in person before a
Sessions Court in Mumbai in the 2002 hit-and-run case on March 25. The
47-year-old actor will return from the USA on Saturday (March 23) night to
appear before the Court on Monday (March 25). On the fateful night of September
28, 2002, the actor allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol had run
over his Toyota Land Cruiser on homeless people who were sleeping on the
pavement. In the accident one person was killed and four were injured.
Hit
& Run
Falgun Shroff, the
owner of a Mercedes car involved in a hit-and-run case in Versova, surrendered
before the police on Tuesday.
The police arrested
him and produced him before the Bandra holiday magistrate court, which later released
him on bail.
The speeding car had
mowed down five pedestrians and two of them were critically injured early on
Monday.
The Versova police had
registered case of rash and negligent driving against an unidentified person.
When the police traced Shroff's residence on Monday, they found that he was not
there and his phone was switched off. After a few hours, Shroff's driver
surrendered before the police along with the car and claimed responsiblity for
the accident. But the police were not convinced with his version and did not
arrest him. They verified CCTV footage in the area and inquired with witnesses,
after which Shroff admitted to his crime.
Shroff told the police
that he was returning after meeting friends when he lost control of his
vehicle. The police stated that they doubted Shroff's driver's claims as there
were many loopholes in his narration of the sequence of events.
The driver claimed
that he tried to avoid a member of a group of five who suddenly came in his
way, but ended up losing control of the vehicle and hitting all. The five, who
included students and script- writers, share a flat in Versova and had gone for
a walk after dinner around 1.30 am.
Shroff fled from the
spot after the accident and passersby and the police took the injured to
hospital. The injured, however, provided the car licence plate number to the
police.
The police approached
a showroom inquiring about the car and were led to Shroff, who lives at Lokhandwala,
and has a furniture business in Juhu.
Crimes
of Sanjiv Nanda
Sanjeev
Nanda (born 1978) is a businessman and the son of Suresh Nanda, an Indian arms dealer, head of
the firm Crown Corporation and an ex-naval officer, implicated in a Tehelka expose. He is also the grandson
of an ex-Chief
of Naval Staff-turned businessman, S. M. Nanda from New Delhi. Sanjeev has been convicted for
running over and killing six people, including three policemen.[1] The case attracted enormous
media attention, and was viewed by many as "a test of the judicial
system's ability to take on the powerful".[1] Nanda is also one of the
principals in the weapon trading firm Crown Corporation started by his father,
Lt. Commander Suresh Nanda (ex-Indian Navy). He also owns several hotels.
Sanjeev
Nanda, a management graduate from INSEAD and Wharton, was allegedly in a drunken state when
he drove his BMW car at high speed through a police
checkpoint at 4:50 AM early morning of January 10, 1999. After running through
the policemen, he allegedly stopped the car to check the damage, saw people
under the car, and according to the prosecution, at this point co-passenger
Manik Kapoor said: ‘‘Let’s go,’’ and they quickly drove away.[2] The car was later cleaned up by
servants at a friend's house.
In
the initial court case, Sanjeev and five others were acquitted after many years
because the court did not find any of the witnesses reliable and the defense
was able to make the case that it was perhaps a truck and not the BMW that had
caused the deaths. All the accused were released, resulting in a sharp drop in
public confidence in the legal system, since it was widely believed that the
witnesses had been bought off.[3] Following the media hue and
cry, another court in September 2008 sentenced him to five years in jail.
Also,
in March 2008, Sanjeev Nanda and his father were also arrested in Mumbai in
connection with the Barak Missile Scandal,
in which Crown Corporation allegedly paid large bribes to politicians and
defence officials. He is also a British national.
The
BMW incident appears to have unfolded as follows:
The
incident occurred at 4:50 AM early morning of January 10, 1999. Sanjeev Nanda
was returning from a late night party in Gurgaon with friends Manik Kapoor
& Siddharth Gupta. Both were in their early twenties and came from
influential business families - Manik's father Sudhir Kapoor runs a thriving
export business was one of the closest to the Nanda Family. Sanjeev had
apparently been instructed by his parents not to drive that night, but was at
the wheel anyway. There was a police checkpoint on Lodhi Road and it appears
that the constable may have challenged the car, though it is also possible that
the car was going so fast that it was out of control. In any event, it is
alleged that Sanjeev's BMW crashed through all the people at the police
checkpoint, immediately killing two constables - Rajan Kumar (25) (of 86th
Battalion of the CRPF), Ram Raj (38) of Delhi Home
Guard, and two others - Abdul Nasir (30) and Gulab (32), who were apparently
being interrogated. Another policeman, Peru Lal (40) of the Delhi Home Guard,
along with Mehendi Hassan, died later in hospital. The seventh victim, Manoj
(32), survived, but is untraceable today.[4]
After
running through the policemen, he allegedly stopped the car to check the
damage, saw people under the car, and according to the prosecution, at this
point co-passenger Manik Kapoor said: ‘‘Let’s go,’’ and they quickly drove
away.[2] The car was then driven to
Siddharth Gupta's house in Golf Links,
where Siddharth's father Rajiv Gupta, who heads the finance firm Motor General
Finance, instructed watchman Bhola Nath and driver Shyam Singh Rana to clean
the bumpers and bonnet of the car of the blood and vestiges of the victims.
Subsequently the police charged these three with destroying evidence. A few
days later, a witness Sunil Kulkarni, came forward to describe the scene. At
the time of the crash, he was on his way to the railway station. He deposed as
follows on Jan 16, 1999:
"They
were driving very fast. The car went to the side, crushing two people. A few
others were thrown away. The driver got out and looked at the damage done to
the car. Then the other person in the car came out and looked behind the car.
Then they quickly drove off. I came to the police on the 15th because of my
guilty conscience."[3]
[edit]NDTV
sting operation
The prominent criminal lawyers involved in the case were R.K.
Anand and I.U. Khan. NDTV carried out a sting operation in which they were
caught on camera offering money to Sunil Kulkarni. Later the Delhi High Court
barred the advocates from practising for four months.[5]
[edit]Investigation
The vehicle's broken registration plate was found on the scene the
next morning. A 100-yard stretch near the police checkpoint was strewn with
body parts and severed limbs amid pools of blood. Preliminary investigations revealed
that the car would have been going at 140 km/h when it hit the victims.[6]
Within a few hours of the incident, Inspector Jagdish Pandey of
the Police Control Room of Delhi Police was able to trace the BMW by trailing
the oil leak from the accident-spot to Rajiv Gupta's garage.[7] They found the one-month old car,
purchased in his sister Sonali Nanda's name, with foreign number plates, which
had not been registered in India. Attempts to clean it were still in progress.
Sanjeev and his friends were arrested, but his clothes, and those of the others
who helped clean the car, were never found. When Sanjeev and his friends were
first charged withCulpable homicide in court, a gaggle of Delhi's
elite descended on Patiala House courts, including ex-Admiral Nanda himself.[4]
[edit]Witnesses
· Manoj Malik
· Harishankar[8]
· Sunil
Kulkarni : initially volunteered to have witnessed the accident, later
vacillated.
[edit]Trial
During the initial trial, the only survivor, Manoj, said that it
might have been a truck that hit them. Since the other six witnesses were dead,
Manoj was the only voice. It is widely believed that he had been paid off, and
has mysteriously disappeared thereafter. Another witness, Sunil Kulkarni had
volunteered to have seen the incident, but the elite defence team was able to
discredit him and he was portrayed as having been "put up" by the
Delhi Police.
In Sanjeev Nanda's testimony (in 92 questions over 14 pages), he
told Judge S.L. Bayana that he was not driving the car and was not the car's
owner. He said it was his sister's car and he had nothing to do with the
accident.
Sanjeev Nanda spent a few months in jail but was released on bail
in May 1999. He was set a surety of a Rs 45 crore (USD 9 million), subsequently
reduced to Rs. 15 crore (USD 3 million).
[edit]Re-trial
The case went up for re-trial. Under intense media pressure, the
case was tried on a fast-track basis, and on 2 September 2008, Sanjeev Nanda
was convicted by a Delhi court for mowing down six persons in the nine-year-old
BMW hit-and-run case and can face a ten-year prison term. Nanda, convicted in
the BMW hit-and-run case, on 3 August 2012 got a reprieve as the Supreme Court
refused to enhance the quantum of punishment of two years already undergone by
him and directed him to do community service for two years. [9]

[edit]Barak
Missile scam
Sanjeev Nanda is also involved in the Barak missile scam,
a case in which his company, the weapon trading firm Crown Corporation, was
implicated for massive bribes to Indian politicians and defence officials.
A Tehelka investigation in 2001 revealed
possible influence Lt-Cmdr Suresh Nanda and Admiral SM Nanda may have had with the
Indian Ministry of
Defence in swinging deals. In these tapes, the reporter is
posing as a representative of the fictional large arms supplier West
End. At one point, the Samata Party national treasurer RK Jain
is trying to convince Tehelka about his prowess in swinging deals. He mentions
how in the first defence deal that he was involved in as the party treasurer,
Suresh Nanda of Crown Corporation had paid Samata Party Rs 1 crore to swing the
Rs 250-crore (USD 60 million) order for Armoured Recovery Vehicles (ARV) in
favour of a Slovakian company.
· Samata Party
treasurer R.K. Jain: "Nanda approached me. Czechoslovakia's price was
the lowest, second Slovakian, third was the Poland."
· Tehelka:
"Haan, Haan."
· R.K. Jain:
"He said, 'I will give you one crore rupees in advance'."
· Tehelka:
"Okay."
· R.K. Jain:
"You get disapproved the last one. Czechoslovakia because they are so
lower that we cannot match their price."
· Tehelka:
"Okay."
· R.K. Jain:
"If you can push him out. Delegation is going on to the... delegation has
been ordered to go to Czechoslovakia. Stop this delegation, and technically
reject this company. Here are the documents."
· Tehelka:
"Hmm."
· R.K.Jain:
"By which it's proved that this company is closed for the last two years.
They will start only after getting this order."
· Tehelka:
"Yeah, yeah."
· R.K. Jain:
"I will give one crore rupees. And I will give you... if they are
technically disapproved, then you are my agent."
· Tehelka:
"Yeah."
· R.K. Jain:
"For this particular... perks... and I will give you so much of
commission."
· Tehelka:
"Okay."
· R.K. Jain:
"I said, 'Fine.' He gave me the correspondence. I took the correspondence
to George."
(the
then Defence minister George Fernandes was from Samata Party)
· Tehelka:
"Hmm."
· R.K.
Jain: "And he said, 'All right, I'll reject it.' He is a very intelligent
man."...
· Tehelka:
Okay, it is manipulated.
· R.K.
Jain: He wrote straight away on the file himself. He never goes and orders
to a Joint Secretary. He wrote it himself, and sent the file back. Nanda gave
me one crore rupees. He called me, "Yes, Mr. Jain, the file has come down.
Like you know George…"
· Tehelka:
Yeah, yeah.[17]
Jain also said that he had received another Rs 1 crore for the
Samata Party from Suresh Nanda to help swing the contract for an air-to-air and
surface-to-surface missile system for the Indian Navy. Nanda was an agent for
the Israeli Barak 1 system.[18]
These tapes were the result of a clandestine sting operation and are not admissible as
evidence in court. However, the intense media pressure led to a separate
investigation by the Central
Bureau of Investigation and five years later, R.K. Jain was
arrested in February 2006.[19] In October 2006, the Central
Bureau of Investigation filed charges against George Fernandes,
former Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Sushil Kumar, and others in the Barak missile
case, claiming that there was reasonable basis to suspect corruption and
criminal conspiracy.[20]
Finally, seven years after the expose, in March 2008, the Nandas
were arrested.[21]

Privileged
Prisoners of India
When the rich and the
powerful get on the wrong side of the law, it's the law that suffers the most.
VIP offenders and convicts are often treated by law enforcers as VIPs and not
as offenders or convicts. Security officials rolled out the red carpet for
Jagir Kaur, former Minister in the Shiromani Akali Dal government in Punjab,
following her conviction last week on charges of abduction and wrongful
confinement of her daughter in 2000. Video footage from the Kapurthala jail
captured the astonishing sight of officials rushing to touch the convict's feet
when she arrived at the prison complex ostensibly to serve out her term.
Although Ms Kaur “resigned” as Minister immediately after her conviction, she
appears to have lost none of the privileges that come with office. Twice
president of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, the powerful body
responsible for the administration of gurudwaras, Ms Kaur wields considerable
clout within the current government headed by Parkash Singh Badal. Opposition
members have already demanded that she be shifted to a jail outside Punjab so
she gets a taste of prison life as it is lived by countless other convicts.
Of course, Ms Kaur is
not the first person to receive comforts and favours inside a prison cell.
Industrialists and politicians convicted for fraud and violent crime have
always found ways to carry over their material advantages in the vast, outside
world into the confines of a prison. In many cases, they abuse the legal
provisions governing incarceration to evade the full rigour of the law. It has,
for example, become the done thing for celebrity undertrials and convicts to
feign chest pain and seek refuge in high-end hospitals which curiously seem
able to delay diagnosing the illness for as long as the patient wants. Stories
of well-heeled undertrials being lavished attention in prisons — the 2G accused
being a case in point — are a legion. The other trick in the book is parole;
the reason for the excursion can be anything, a parent's illness, the death of
a relative, or simply the need to reconnect with the city's social circuit.
Manu Sharma, convicted in the Jessica Lal murder case, famously spent the
parole period granted him (originally 30 days but extended by a month)
partying, helped in no small measure by his benefactors in the Delhi
government. India's criminal justice system is lax, and many literally get away
with murder. For a select few convicted by a court of law, the journey from
home to prison brings no ordeal that they cannot bear. When the prison cell
door clanks shut behind them, the VIP inmates manage to force open a window to
freedom. That's the sad truth.

Misuse
of Parole
Facing fire over his
wayward ways while out on parole, Manu Sharma - convicted for model Jessica
Lall's murder - on Tuesday returned to Tihar Jail.
Manu's parole was to expire on November 22. Manu left a letter for his mother before voluntarily going to the jail and turning himself in.
Manu's decision came after there was a huge uproar when he was actually found pub hopping. His parole was apparently granted to enable him to tend to his sick mother who was actually found addressing a press conference in Chandigarh last week.
The last straw came when Manu and a friend Sahil Dhingra got into an altercation at Delhi's F Bar.
The Delhi government faced some embarrassing questions after Headlines Today and sister publication Mail Todayhighlighted the virtual misuse of the parole.
Fingers were pointed at Manu's father Vinod Sharma who is an influential Congress MLA in Haryana. Manu even accompanied his father to a campaign trail in Ambala.
Sheila Dikshit government, after initially defending the parole, had to order a probe by the Delhi and Chandigarh police.

Vikas
Yadav Son of D P YADAV
Vikas
Yadav (Hindi विकास यादव) is the son of the noted criminal-politician
from Uttar
Pradesh, D.P.
Yadav, and his politician wife Umlesh Yadav, both
of whom are currently member of the state legislative assembly in Uttar Pradesh. Vikas
Yadav has been convicted of criminal offenses for obstruction of justice in the
murder of [[]], and found guilty in the murder of Nitish Katara.
Vikas
was found guilty of the murder of Nitish Katara,
who had fallen in love[1] with
Bharti Yadav, Vikas' sister, a relationship that the family did not approve of.
After a trial that lasted almost seven years, he was sentenced to life
imprisonment on 30 May 2008.[2]
The
court found Vikas, son of UP politician D.P Yadav, guilty of murder, criminal
conspiracy and destruction of evidence. The court also rejected the plea of
Vikas that the pronouncement of verdict be stayed as the Delhi High Court is
likely to hear his application seeking a stay on trial court proceedings today.
The judge posed a query to defence counsel G.K. Bharti as to whether the High
Court had stayed the proceedings in this court. Finding the reply in negative,
the court pronounced its verdict: “I hold Vikas Yadav and Vishal Yadav guilty
under sections 302, 364, 201 and 34 of the IPC.” The prosecution on its part
has made it clear that they will press for capital punishment.
Reacting
to the defence lawyers claim that the verdict came because of intense media
pressure, the public prosecutor said, “I don’t think that’s true. We had a
watertight case as we had presented more than 20 circumstantial evidences. By
ruling in our favour, the court has proved that we were right.” Earlier, the
court had dismissed Vikas Yadav’s plea seeking re-examination of key witness
Ajay Katara and others.
An
emotional Neelam Katara, mother of Nitish, said it was a milestone judgement.
“It’s a big relief. It’s a milestone judgement. I thank Vishnu,” said Neelam.
Nitish,
son of an IAS officer, was allegedly killed by the accused Vikas and his cousin
Vishal Yadav on the intervening night of February 16-17, 2002. According to an
initial confession by Vikas[3] audiotaped
by police, he abducted Nitish from a marriage function in Ghaziabad, and killed
him by hitting his head with a hammer in Vikas's car.
Vikas,
after being convicted in the murder of Nitish, was in and out of Tihar Jail 66
times between May 30, 2008 and February 8, 2010, averaging five trips a month.[4]
Nitish Katara
Murder Case
Nitish
Katara was a 24-year-old
Indian business executive in Delhi,
who was murdered in the early hours of 17 February 2002, by Vikas Yadav the
son of influential criminal-politician D. P. Yadav. Nitish
had recently graduated from the Institute of Management Technology,Ghaziabad, where, he
had fallen in love with his classmate, Bharti Yadav, sister
of Vikas.[1] The
trial court held that Nitish's murder was anhonour killing because
the family did not approve their relationship.[2] Vikas
and Vishal Yadav were later found guilty by the trial Court and awarded life
sentence on 30 May 2008.[3]
The
Yadav family never approved of the relationship between the two, and Katara
received threats several times.[4] However,
he was an idealist, and believed in "standing up to injustice".[5] On
the night of 17 February 2002, the couple attended a common friend's wedding,
where Yadavs's brother, Vikas, and a cousin were present as well. From there,
Katara was taken for a drive by Yadav's brother Vikas Yadav and Vishal Yadav,
and never returned. Three days later, Katar's body was found beside the highway;
he had been battered to death with a hammer, diesel poured on him, and set
aflame.

[edit]Relationship
By
2002, Katara and Bharti Yadav were an established couple; they had been seeing
each other for over four years. In her court testimony in 2006, Bharti Yadav
denied any relationship beyond friendship[6]
Why
the Yadav family did not approve of the alliance is not clear. In his
confession to the police, Vikas Yadav stated
that "the affair was damaging our family's reputation".[7]Nitish was
threatened several times,[4] and
Bharti was tense about how her family might react.[8][dead
link]
[edit]The friend's wedding
On
2002-02-16, Yadav and Katara attended a friends wedding in Ghaziabad. Bharti's
mother, her brother Vikas and sister Bhavna were all there.
After
the wedding, four people remembered seeing Vikas Yadav and his cousin Vishal
Yadav take Katara into their Tata Safari SUV.[citation needed] His friends thought
he would be returning soon, but when they had not returned till well past
midnight, Bharat Divakar, who had accompanied Nitish to the wedding in a taxi,
went to their house. It was 3 am when Neelam Katara opened the door, and she
immediately called Bharti. It turned out that Bharti herself was trying to find
out Nitish's whereabouts. She asked Neelam "to go to the police, adding
that maybe her brothers – Vikas and Vishal – had taken Nitish to Punjab".[8][dead
link] Bharti is thought to have called her sister
Bhavna Yadav, whose registered mobile phone number was used all night to call
many friends of the couple, as well as Neelam Katara.[9]
Yadav
also gave Neelam Katara her father's number, and after a fruitless visit to the
police, at 8 in the morning, Neelam called D. P. Yadav, who did not know where
Vikas or Nitish might be.[6]
Next
morning, the police found a battered and burned body at Khurja, 80 km from the wedding venue. The
body had been so badly beaten that "the digestive system had fallen
out".[6]
At
11 in the morning, Neelam Katara filed a First Information Report. Based on initial statements
by her and Bharti Yadav, warrants were issued for Vikas and Vishal.
[edit]Arrest and confessions
Inspector
Ashok Bidhoria arrested Vikas and Vishal Yadav in Dabra, and in his original statement to the
court, he said that the Yadavs had confessed having kidnapped Katara from Kavi
Nagar, Ghaziabad.[11] However,
under cross-examination the inspector changed his stand saying the accused
persons made no confessional statements in his presence.[citation needed]
Another
police constable, Brij Mohan Mishra, who was at the Dabra police station where
the Yadavs were brought after being arrested, said in court, "The accused
persons themselves said that they had murdered Nitish Katara after kidnapping
him. He added that he had told inspector Bidhoria about the disclosure, but
Bidhoria 'did not produce me before any magistrate to get my statement
recorded'." It was reported that Bidhoria is a business associate of D P
Yadav, but he denied that this fact may have had any bearing on his actions.[11]
After
being handed over to the U.P. police, they gave a more detailed confession on
having kidnapped and killed Nitish Katara, which the Police recorded on
audiotape. In May 2006, the NDTV news
channel managed to obtain the tape and broadcast it. In this confession, Yadav
admitted to taking Katara from the party, murdering him, and burning the body.[7] Although
this confession, which was made a week or so after the murder, was not
formalised before a magistrate, and was therefore not admissible as evidence in
court, the fact that the hammer and watch were found based on this deposition
may have weighed with the trial court when it reached its verdict.[12]
Bharti
Yadav, whose testimony was being sought in the trial, moved to London for an
extended period shortly after the murder. From there, she apparently sent some
e-mails to Katara's brother, which blame her father D. P. Yadav for sanctioning
the murder.[10] In
her subsequent court testimony however, she has claimed that the account was
not hers.[citation needed]
[edit]Bharti Yadav Testimony
Considerable
drama and media attention focused on the protracted struggle (over four and a
half years) to obtain the testimony of Bharti Yadav. Her reluctance to testify
only highlighted media speculation that the family was worried her testimony
might go against her own brother.[13] Lawyers
on her behalf made 39 appeals that she be relieved.[14]In March 2005,
the Uttar Pradesh state prosecution counsel also moved that she not be called.
Initially,
Bharti told a policewoman of her love for Nitish.[15] But
in March 2002, within two weeks of this initial verbal statement, a team of the
Ghaziabad police headed by Dr Dharam Veer Singh and Anil Samanya met Bharati
Yadav and D. P. Yadav, at his Rajya Sabha residence.
She told them that "her relationship with Nitish was like that of a
classmate and there was nothing special about them."[16]
Immediately
after this, Bharti Yadav went to London to study and "was believed to have
been working as a staff nurse".[17] The
family strongly resisted her being called as a witness. She could not be
contacted, and repeated warrants and non-bailable warrants were not heeded to.
By
March 2004, all other witnesses in the case had been examined, except for
Bharti Yadav.[18] Pressure
mounted on getting Bharti Yadav to testify. After a year without success, the
UP prosecuting team dropped her as a prosecution witness, which was challenged
by Neelam Katara,[19] saying
that she was a material witness, and in dropping her, the prosecution may have
been influenced by D. P. Yadav. Delhi prosecutor Mukta Gupta in September 2005
said that "it showed the malafide intention of the Uttar Pradesh
Prosecutor to request for dropping of Bharti as witness".[20] In
October 2005, the court ruled that she was a material witness and would be required
to testify.[21]
In
August 2006, the Supreme Court, responding to an appeal from Nitish Katara's
mother, shifted the trial from Ghaziabad to Delhi because of D. P. Yadav's
considerable influence in the area, including its administration and judiciary.[22]
Meanwhile,
despite several court warrants, Bharti still could not be traced. In May 2006,
Bharti Yadav's passport was revoked by the Ministry of External Affairs,[23] so
that her stay in UK was technically illegal. Furthermore, her visa was expiring
on 30 November, making it difficult for her to continue living in the UK.[24] In
May 2006, D. P.
Yadav stated in court that he did not know his daughter's
whereabouts.[17]
On
22 July 2006, an application was moved by Bharti's maternal uncle Bharat Singh
(a member of the UP Legislative
Council), requesting that she be permitted to testify viaVideo
conferencing.[25] However,
the court turned down this request noting that "since she has chosen to
stay away from the court, thereby delaying the proceedings substantially, the
court was satisfied that she had absconded by avoiding appearance before the
court despite having sufficient knowledge of the proceedings pending in the
court where her presence as a witness was required".[18]
In
danger of being declared proclaimed offender, under which
circumstance she could have been arrested and deported from London, Bharti
finally returned to depose before the court. Based on her convenience, 25
November 2006 was set for her testimony, and she was assured that she would not
be detained upon arrival. The trial court permitted her to testify in camera, ruling
out the media, but permitting the defendant's parents, as well as Neelam
Katara, to attend.
In
her actual testimony, Yadav denied any romantic attachment to Katara, and said
that they had simply been close friends. She also denied having sent certain
emails. However, she acknowledged having sent the cards and gifts.[26] The
prosecution stated that this evidence was key in obtaining the eventual
conviction, as it established motive.
[edit]Witnesses turn hostile
Of
the four people at the wedding who had initially said they saw Nitish go into
the car with Vikas, three had already withdrawn their testimony. Only Rohit
Gaur, brother of Shivani Gaur, whose wedding it was, was left as having seen
Vikas and Vishal taking Nitish in his car. However, on 26 September 2006, he
made the following statement in court:
It
is incorrect to suggest that I informed the police that on the day of the
marriage, around midnight, Vishal came near Nitish Katara and had a
conversation with him and took him outside where Vikas Yadav was present and
that both Vikas and Vishal took Nitish in their vehicle.[4]
He
also denied having stated that Bharti and Nitish were lovers.
Another
constable, Inderjeet, who had initially testified to seeing Vikas, Vishal, and
Sukhdev Pehalwan with Nitish in the Tata Safari on the night of 16 February,
now denied this in language remarkably similar to other retractions: "it
was wrong to suggest that he had seen the three accused with the victim in a
Tata Safari".[27]
[edit]Ajay
Kumar
In
a decision refusing bail to Sukhdev Pehalwan in April 2007, Justice B.D. Ahmed
pointed to the relevance of the testimony of passerby Ajay Kumar, who had seen
them on the fateful night:
Ajay
Kumar who, in his Section 161 Cr. P.C. Statement, is reported to have stated
that on the intervening night 16–17 February 2002, he was traveling on his two
wheeler (Scooter) from 47th Battalion, PAC Quarters towards Delhi when, around
12:30 a.m. at the Hapur Toll Tax Crossing his scooter broke down. Shortly
thereafter, a Tata Safari driven by the accused Vikas Yadav came from behind
from the direction of Police Station Kavi Nagar, Ghaziabad and the said Vikas
Yadav asked him to remove his scooter immediately. It is stated that the said
Ajay Kumar saw one person who had a round face and a fair complexion and was
wearing a red Kurta and who had covered his shoulder with a white shawl sitting
next to Vikas Yadav in the Tata Safari. The said witness (Ajay Kumar) has also
reported to have seen Vishal Yadav and the petitioner on the back seat.[28]
In
June 2007, Ajay Kumar (also referred to as Ajay Katara, but not a relative[29]) had
filed a complaint to the police that "he was under pressure to withdraw
from the case" and that "his life was in danger".[30] He
was then assigned four personal security officers (PSOs) on the orders of the
trial court.[29] On
12 July 2007, two brothers, Manoj and Anuj Sharma, called him to the Mohan
Nagar temple saying he could meet his separated wife there to sort out his
domestic problems. Three more people were apparently waiting nearby in a car.
But his wife never showed up and the Sharmas bought him some chaat.[29] Right
after eating it, Ajay suddenly took very ill, vomiting and complaining of
stomach cramps.[30] He
immediately went to hospital, where he was treated for food poisoning. A case
has been registered against D. P. Yadav and four others on suspicion of having
poisoned Ajay Kumar.[31]
[edit]Kumar
Diwan
In
July 2007, one Pawan Kumar Diwan suddenly showed up for the defence, saying
that Vikas Yadav had come to his house in Karnal, at 3 am on the night of 16–17
February 2002, for attending a ceremony the following day. He also submitted
photographs showing Vikas Yadav at the ceremony.[32]
Vikas
and Vishal were found guilty by the trial court on 28 May 2008. Both were
awarded life imprisonment on 30 May 2008. The convicts have stated that they
would appeal against the decision in the higher courts. [33]
[edit]Decision
On
30 May 2008 New Delhi fast track court sentenced Vikas and Vishal Yadav to life
sentences for the kidnap and murder of Nitish Katara. Both were also fined
Rs.160,000 each.[34][35]
In
November 2009, Vikas Yadav was granted bail to attend the arranged marriage of
Bharti to a local businessman.[36][37] Vikas
Yadav was granted bail 66 times in the first two years of his incarceration,
often with no clear reason documented.[38] Nitish
Katara's mother accused the jail authorities of colluding with Yadav's
influential family and requested a formal investigation.[38] The
Delhi High Court accused Vikas Yadav of repeatedly becoming involved in
criminal activities whilst out on bail, including involvement in the Jessica Lal case,[39] as
well as absconding on two occasions.[39]

for kidnapping and murdering Nitish Katara, a close friend of his sister
Bharti. The duo killed Nitish Katara, son of an Indian Administrative Service
officer, on February 17, 2002, after abducting him from a marriage party in
Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad as they were opposed to his relationship with Bharti.
Vikas, the son of former MP, DP Yadav, along with his cousin Vishal and hired killer Sukhdev Pehalwan, are serving life terms in Delhi's Tihar Jail.

Bangalore
Rural DC Aiyappa, three revenue officials held
BANGALORE:
Lokayukta police have arrested Bangalore Rural district deputy commissioner MK
Aiyappa, a special tahsildar, a revenue inspector and a sub-registrar for
allegedly changing records pertaining to 32 acres of land in Survey No. 62 of
Madappanahalli, near Yelahanka.
Lokayukta additional director general of police HNS Rao said they registered a case against 15 persons, including IAS officer Aiyappa (then Bangalore Urban deputy commissioner), special tahsildar (Bangalore North) K Gopalaswamy, revenue inspector N Balakrishnamurthy of Arakere circle, Hesaraghatta, and sub-registrar (Hesaraghatta) KV Ravi Kumar.
The arrested officials were produced in the Lokayukta court, which remanded them to a day in police custody. The Lokayukta court had on November 5 last year ordered that a case be filed under Sections 13 (1)( c), (d), (e) and 13(2) read with Section 12 of the Prevention of Corruption Act as well as criminal Sections 406, 409, 420, 426, 463, 468, 471, 474 read with Section 120-B (criminal conspiracy).
The Lokayukta court order followed a private complaint by P Anil Kumar, a resident of Hesaraghatta.
Preliminary investigation revealed the land was gomala land (common property resource used for livestock grazing), but a person named Narasimhaiah claimed ownership of all the 32 acres. Records were created and the land restored to him, but the then revenue inspector restored the title to the government. Even as the legal dispute was pending, the land was purchased by private individuals. The Hesaraghatta sub-registrar registered the land in their names in 2009.
"The present rate for the land is about Rs 60 crore. Bigwigs named in the complaint will be questioned, including the purchasers. Everything is on record, and nobody can deny their responsibility in taking away government land and restoring it to private individuals," a Lokayukta police official privy to the investigation told TOI.
There will be some more arrests, he added, as there's ample documentary evidence and other witness accounts available.

& ponds , the building mafia encroaches on it & usurps
that public property in turn selling it for crores of rupees.
In this way , Hootagalli lake was killed & encroached by Kaynes
Hotel ( now silent shores hotel) , Hebbal Lake is being
killed & encroached from all sides by industries and the
lake infront of BEML Quarters is being killed & land
demarcation for selling those land has already begun.
The public
servants were totally indifferent towards public outcry
against this . The IAS & KAS babus who are also
magistrates with judicial authority have failed in preserving
these lakes & ponds inspite of appeals to them. These death of
lakes resulting in their encroachments could have been prevented earlier
by DC , Tahsildar , MUDA Commissioner & KIADB Officers. Even I have
appealed to them through my web news paper , they didn’t take action at
all. I have made RTI request to those authorities to give me
information regarding status of those lakes years ago , fearing
truth will come out they didn’t anwer my questions in full , they only
gave half truths. When I persisited with my RTI request the
Mysore District Magistrate at that time Mr. P.Manivannan repeatedly
called me over phone , abused me & threatened me . Even threats were
made by some policemen in mufti . Finally that lake land was
allotted to an industrially supposed to be close to Industries minister
at that time. The courts are dispassionate & inhuman , while
passing eviction orders against poor people , the police are full of
guts & show their full bravery , valour against these poor land
encroachers. Fine , let us appreciate their duty consciousness . However
rich & well connected criminals have illegally encroached upon public
lands , the same courts and police are not taking appropriate
action inspite of repeated appeals , why ? Even the Supreme
Court of India & Police are Weak & Meak before Land Mafia. Don’t the same
Judges & Police have Guts , Bravery , Duty Conciousness & Integrity to
take action against such rich land grabbers ? The answer lies in
the following articles. Once again we offer our conditional services to
Supreme Court of India , to legally apprehend criminals while the
respective public servants have failed to do the same.
Hereby , we
request the honourable Supreme Court of India ,
1.
To initiate criminal prosecution against Mysore
district magistrate , Mysore taluk magistrate , MUDA Commissioner
, Jurisdictional Police Officers & KIADB Officer , for making
contempt of Supreme Court of India Order applying throught
india to preserve lakes & ponds.
2.
To evict all encroachers forth with .
3.
To immediately stop all flow of industrial effluents & sewage
to these lakes & ponds.
4.
To initiate criminal prosecution against encroachers of these lakes
& pollters , killers of these lakes.
5.
To preserve the said lakes & ponds , by recovering
cost from encroachers , polluting industries and the
co-conspirators Mysore DC , Mysore Tahsildar , MUDA Commissioner , KIADB
Officer & Jurisdictional Police Officers.
6.
To protect me , my family members & dependents from land mafia
& co-conspirators of the crime.
7.
To order , to issue Writ of Mandamus to Mysore District
Magistrate , MUDA Commissioner & KIADB Officer to disclose all the
information sought by me in my RTI request publicly. The copy of my RTI
request is reproduced below.

Illogical land laws fostering mafia, says High
Court judge
Acting Chief Justice of High Court of
Karnataka, Justice K Sreedhar Rao on Saturday said lack of logic in several
laws, including land reforms and acquisition laws, is encouraging land mafia,
especially in urban centres.
“The existing Land Acquisition Act is the greatest enemy of the common man. We have only encouraged land mafia through legislation,” he said, while addressing the National Consultation on “Urban Poor and the Law,” organised by National Law School of India University (NLSIU) here.
Justice Rao said laws related to land need an overhaul, to ensure owners of the land get a share of development. “The growth of real estate mafias and skyrocketing property prices hindered average income earners from purchasing property. By creating mega cities, we have done a great damage to the country,” he added.
Justice Rao said various governments have failed to develop district and taluk head quarters as a result of which we are not able to prevent migration to cities. “Bangalore has developed as a cancerous slum. The urban areas are not having the infrastructure or facilities to deal with this massive population inflow,” he said. The judge also pointed out that the zoning laws often allow arbitrary classifications without taking into account the real situations on ground.
P K Mohanty, Additional Secretary, Union Ministry of Housing and Poverty Alleviation, said the proposed law for property rights for urban poor, to ensure spaces for street vendors, was under consideration and it would be soon placed before the Parliament.
A major issue that needs to be addressed is residency rights of urban poor in the context of vulnerabilities that they face. Though several governmental programmes, specially JNNURM were designed for this purpose, there was a lack of sufficient response from the States to avail the funds and use them in time, he said.

Siddaiah was brought back to BBMP despite
request for his suspension for his role in DLF case
Senior IAS officer H. Siddaiah, who returned
as Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Commissioner for a second stint,
has come under the scanner of the Bangalore Metropolitan Task Force (BMTF) as a
‘suspect officer’ for his alleged role in the DLF case.
The BMTF, probing the DLF scam that involved
illegal widening of a road to facilitate an increase in the floor area ratio
(FAR) of an apartment complex, had named Mr. Siddaiah, his predecessor Bharat
Lal Meena, besides the former Bangalore Development Authority (BDA)
Commissioner Pradeep Singh Kharola among the three IAS officers whose role had
surfaced during its investigation “based on oral and documentary evidence”.
BMTF letter
In a letter to Chief Secretary S.V. Ranganath,
dated November 29, 2012, the BMTF had sought to place under suspension these
three officials, besides 23 others of the BDA and BBMP, to facilitate fair
probe.
However, the government chose to ignore the
BMTF’s recommendation and brought Mr. Siddaiah back to the BBMP from the Higher
Education Department where he was serving as Principal Secretary, thus
replacing Commissioner Rajneesh Goel.
The report also names several senior officials
of the BBMP and the BDA as “suspect officials” for having allegedly colluded to
allow the DLF to up the FAR for its projects, violating BBMP bylaws and BDA’s
master plan.
Charge against Shettar
Meanwhile, RTI activist Dinesh Kallahalli
accused Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar of trying to hush up the matter by
bringing back the same “suspect” officials. He plans to seekGovernor H.R.
Bhardwaj’s intervention in the matter as the Chief Minister was involved.
Speaking at a press conference here on
Saturday, Mr. Kallahalli said Tirakana Goudar, Town Planning Member (TPM) in
the BDA, who was reinstated to his post while he was out on bail, was also
being favoured by the Chief Minister.
DLF violations
The BMTF has arrested Mr. Goudar, who was
charged with helping DLF Southern Homes legalise construction beyond what was
permitted on a civic amenity (CA) site. He was accused of approving the
widening of the Hulimavu-Begur Road to legalise DLF Southern Homes illegal construction.
“DLF constructed 1,962 flats instead of the
440 for which they had taken permission. We are not even able to get documents
under the Right to Information Act. We want the Governor to intervene,” Mr.
Kallahalli said.
LAND
SCAM IN TAMILNADU One for my
officer, one for my boy…
Land and property are coveted
assets. So why are chief ministers allowed to give these away as
favours? JEEMON JACOB tracks how Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M
Karunanidhi has been using his quotas
|
IN NOVEMBER, Chief Minister
of Karnataka BS Yeddyurappa almost lost his job, due to the uproar over
preferential allotment of land and property to his sons and close associates. He
has since cancelled the allotments, asked his children to move out of his
official residence, and retained his seat through some deft political
manoeuvring and muscle-flexing. At the height of the campaign against him, as
political opponents paraded on apparent moral high ground, TEHELKA published
details of plots similarly allotted by previous Karnataka chief ministers, both
of the Congress and the JD(S), to relatives, servants, drivers, maids and
partymen (LAND SCAM 2.0, 4 December). The purpose was not to make Yeddyurappa’s
wrongdoings look less shocking, but to show that the problem was endemic and
needed rooting out. The right given to chief ministers to hand out public land
to a favoured few — relatives, bureaucrats, judges, police officers and others
— smacks of nepotism and arbitrary feudal power structures that should have no
place in a modern democracy. (Though there is no immediate proof of this, some
of these allotments could also be benamitransactions, in which the
ultimate ownership remains with the distributor of the largesse, camouflaged by
a stack of fake documents.)
This power — euphemistically
called “discretionary quota” — has even been used to favour allegedly corrupt
army officers like General Deepak Kapoor (AT EASE WITH GREASE, TEHELKA, 20
November), who was given a large 500 sq yd plot in Haryana by the Hooda
government, which then faced the embarrassment of refusing him permission to
sell it off before five years had elapsed, as per rules. The plot was given to
him by the government as preferential allotment in recognition for his
‘outstanding achievement’.
This week, continuing its campaign
against out-of-turn allotments of land and property, TEHELKA has an exposé on
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi. The Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB)
which commands a large land bank, has a government discretionary quota (GDQ)
under which 15 percent of all allotments can be recommended by the CM.
Eligibility for allotment under GDQ is as follows: single/deserted women;
widows; social workers; physically handicapped persons; defence personnel;
ex-servicemen; eminent persons in the field of science, arts, literature,
economics, public administration and sports; freedom fighters; government
servants with unblemished service records; employees of PSUs, central
government undertakings and nationalised banks; PF institutions; journalists;
university staff; and employees of local bodies and municipalities.
While some of these categories
sound kosher, most of them raise a fundamental question: why should the
government have the power to give coveted land to select employees and
journalists over others? The only rationale could be proximity — which is an
untenable reason for being the beneficiary of political favours, often worth
several crores.
Setting this aside, even within
the legal ambit of the GDQ, TEHELKA’s investigation shows that many of the
allotments in Karunanidhi’s tenure have violated the rule book. Many
bureaucrats and their relatives have been given plots or flats under the
category of “social worker”. Some of these last did social work when they were
in college; many of them claim to be volunteers in such routine activity as
helping in blood donation or eye camps. Many have issued certificates to
themselves; some have acquired letters from the Lions and Rotary Clubs with
vague endorsements. In other violations, the rules say that no one who has any
other land or property in Tamil Nadu or any other capital city, in either their
own or spouse or minor children’s name, can apply for GDQ allotments. TEHELKA
found this is routinely violated.
|
The other brazen violation lies in
the claim of “unblemished” service records as a qualification for allotment.
When RTI activist V Gopalakrishnan sought a list of such bureaucrats,
Additional Secretary S Solomon Raj said, “As no unblemished government servant
certificates are issued, the question of furnishing a list of names does not
arise.” The additional secretary also clarified that the home department didn’t
have such a list. This is the phantom category under which many public servants
like Jaffar Sait, 1986 batch IPS officer, now Inspector General of
Police–Intelligence, got large allotments of land in prime locations. Why them
more than hundreds of others? That’s a democratic question the chief minister
will have to answer.

‘GDQ is a way of making you part
of the syndicate’
BY JEEMON JACOB
|
A1990 batch IAS
officer, C Umashanker shot to fame during the AIADMK regime when he
exposed a scam in the construction of sheds in a cremation ground under the
Jawahar Rozgar Yojana when he was additional collector in Madurai. His brush with
AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaa’s partymen resulted in his transfer out of the
district.
Later, when the DMK came to power,
he was appointed managing director of the state-run Electronic Corporation of
Tamil Nadu and put in charge of procuring colour television sets for free
distribution to the poor in the state, in keeping with an election promise of
the DMK. He was transferred with immediate effect after he exposed corporate
fraud committed by the joint venture promoter ELNET Technologies Ltd.
Later, he was posted as managing
director of the state-run Arasu Cable TV Corporation. In this capacity, he
opposed the monopoly of Sumangali Corporation run by Kalanidhi Maran. He also
took steps to nationalise Sumangali Cable Vision. By that time, Maran had a
patch-up with the Karunanidhi family and Umashanker was transferred with
immediate effect.
Later, the anti-corruption and
vigilance department registered a case against him for disproportionate assets.
The government suspended him for claiming fake caste certificate as a Dalit
when he is a practising Christian.
|
He lodged a complaint with the
National Backward Commission against his suspension and got a favourable order from
the High Court. At present, he is managing director of Tamil Nadu Small
Industries Corporation.
Umashanker was allotted a plot
(under government order 2D 325) on 3 April 2008 at Thiruvanmiyur Extension when
he was in charge of the free colour television for the poor programme. For
this, he would have had to pay 55.12 lakh. He wrote to the chief minister that
he could not afford to pay such a huge amount. Later, his allotment was
cancelled without stating any reason.
Umashanker revealed he had an MIG
flat in his name when the plot was allotted and he was not aware about the rule
of Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) that he can’t claim a plot when he has
another flat in his name.
It certainly seems commendable that
Umashanker turned down a chance to own a plot in Thiruvanmiyur Extension, one
of the poshest areas of the city. The plot is just 300 metres from the beach.
Though the entire colony has been
parcelled out to those close to the ruling establishment, it is the nouveau
riche and the industrialists who dream of owning a house in Thiruvanmiyur,
where they can rub shoulders with former judges, bureaucrats and political
power brokers. If and when the allottees decide to sell their plots, they can
demand extremely high prices.
In a frank chat, Umashanker talks
about how the government discretionary quota has been misused. Excerpts:
Why are bureaucrats, judges,
former judges and politicians given housing plots in posh localities under
government discretionary quota?
Who can refuse a good piece of land in Chennai city? It’s a way of rewarding people for good work done. No inquiry has been conducted in this matter so far. Discretionary quota is the prerogative of the government. After RTI came into existence, several activists are taking up the matter in court. Basically, there is no control mechanism or checks and balances. There is little transparency while awarding the GDQ — the plots are allotted without formal applications.

You were also allotted a plot in
2008 under the ‘unblemished government servant’ category. What happened to the
allotment?
Yes, I was allotted a plot in Thiruvanmiyur Extension. Initial payment for the plot was Rs. 25 lakh. I never had that much money. So I requested the government to reduce the price. But there was no response. I did not want a house to compromise my integrity. So I never took possession. Later, in 2009, the government ordered a vigilance inquiry against me and cancelled the allotment. Frankly, I was not aware about the TNHB rules that bars a person having a plot, a flat or a house from claiming another plot.

Do you think the GDQ quota is a
way of silencing people, buying them out?
Yes, it is a way of making you a part of the syndicate. Plots or flats are given to those civil servants, judges or relatives of the bureaucrats or politicians for complying with certain requirements. There is no procedure for IAS or IPS officers to get a land or plot or flat in a transparent manner. So everybody uses short cuts.

Minister’s DQ proves
judges are more corrupt than civil servant
NEW DELHI/BHUBANESWAR: An
investigation by Cobra post and IBN Network has revealed how former and sitting
judges of Orissa, police officers and bureaucrats have received flats from
the DiscretionaryQuota (DQ) of ministers. As a matter of fact,
successive Urban Development Ministers in the Naveen Patnaik government have
misused the discretionary housing quota.
According to the revelation, the
judges have got the ‘minister quota’ flats out of turn and at cheaper rates.
The IBN Network accessed letters
of judges written to the government asking for prime property in Cuttack and
Bhubaneswar.
Prime properties were acquired in
Cuttack at concession rates, bypassing the Cuttack Development Authority. In
fact, Sectors 10, 11 and 13 of Cuttack’s Abhinav Bidanasi project has
practically become a judges’ residential colony.
Former Chief Justice G B. Patnaik
is a resident of flat 1B/22 in Sector 11 while former Orissa High
CourtJudge Radhakrishna Patra has flat 1B/23 in the same sector, given out
on lease.
Supreme Court judge Deba
Priya Mohapatra, Orissa High Court judges Sanju Panda, Madan Mohan Das,
Nityanand Prastuti also own flats in Sector 10 and 11.Papers for the flats were
prepared quickly and some judges even got preferred plots.
Most of the allotments took place
between 2000 and 2007, under the BJP cadre Urban and Housing Development
Minister Sameer De who was State Development Minister from 2000-2004 and
then Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo who called the shots from 2004 to 2007.
All that the judges had to do was
written to the Minister. The CNN-IBN has a letter written by Justice Madan
Mohan Das to the CDA Chairman and to Minister Kanak Vardhan Singhdeo, asking
for a B-Category Flat in Sector 10, saying he would ensure a third party transfer
of a C-Category Flat already owned by his wife.Justice Das was allotted the
flat in just six days.
When asked why
the discretionary quota was used to make the allotments, Sameer Dey,
former Orissa urban development minister, said, “The Orissa act does not have
any such rule. There is 5 per cent and 10 per cent allocation
in discretionary quota. Apart from that we don’t have any rule.”
Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo, former
Orissa urban development minister, said, “The rule is that only those who apply
for the project can be allotted land via Discretionary Quota. So if
any such person does not apply what can we do?”
CNN-IBN has also found that many
of the judges who were allotted land through the discretionary quota
already own ancestral property in Cuttack. Yet the ministers were allotted the
land they asked for.
BANGALORE: A major land scam worth nearly Rs 6,000 crore, involving about 2,000 acres at the foothills of Chamundi Hills in Mysore, has been unearthed.
Mysore deputy commissioner P S Vastrad is in the spotlight for illegally delisting in June nearly 2,000 acres of prime government land in favour of the Mysore royal family. The land in question is 1,541 acres in Kurubaralli, 259 acres in Chowdahalli and 173 acres in Alanahalli. The market value of an acre in these areas is between Rs 1 crore and Rs 3 crore.
Some top state BJP leaders and influential religious leaders are said be behind the illegal conversion of the land from 'B' kharab to 'A' kharab. According to the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964, 'B' kharab land is property reserved for a public purpose. Any conversion of this to 'A' kharab - making it private property - needs government authorization. But Vastrad passed the order without bringing it to the notice of the government.
"This happened when DV Sadananda Gowda as chief minister held more than 20 portfolios, including revenue. Lack of monitoring in the revenue department enabled the deputy commissioner to change the format," government sources said. Following complaints against the change in land use, deputy chief minister in charge of revenue K S Eshwarappa ordered a probe by chief secretary S V Ranganath, who has given a report indicting Vastrad of being "guilty of misconduct".
The land was mentioned as kharab in survey records dating back to 1861. Later, during a resurvey between 1920 and 1930, the same land was shown as 'B' kharab.
"It appears the DC executed the order in undue haste. Any decision with respect to such land can only be taken by the government under Section of 86 of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act. The delisting of land from 'B' kharab to 'A' kharab without considering the original survey records of 1861 is illegal," the chief secretary said in his report.
Sources in the government said the Mysore royal family had been claiming right over the land after the death of the Mysore Maharaja in 1974, but several orders of the department of personal and administrative reforms clearly state the land belongs to the government. "The heir of the last Maharaja had been raising disputes. Due to this and multiple litigation, unscrupulous elements are trying to falsify records to gain control over this precious land," they added.
Interestingly, the DC withdrew his June order on August 18 on being indicted. Meanwhile, the Karnataka High Court ordered the status quo.
Chief minister Jagadish Shettar, who wanted to suspend Vastrad, is said to have dropped the idea following pressure from top BJP leaders. The government feels that shunting him out at a time when Dasara preparations are under way would mar the festivities.
"I will urge the CM to convene a meeting and take action against the DC," Eshwarappa told TOI.
DC Vastrad yielded to real estate lobby: MLC
Mysore: BJP MLC G Madhusudan on Friday accused Mysore DC P S Vastrad of succumbing to the real estate lobby in a case related to some 2,000-acre land at the foothills of Chamundi Hills.
He has complained to CM Jagadish Shettar in this regard. The BJP leader has also asked for a stay on the proceedings following the order by Vastrad.
In his complaint to Shettar, the MLC said: "The land at the foothills is quite precious and costs several thousand crores as per the present market... You are requested to go through the documents and take up investigation into the matter." In the strongly-worded letter, he has told the CM that "people are alleging that the DC has succumbed to the real estate lobby."
Releasing the copies of his petition, and that of related documents to the media on Friday, Madhusudan asked the CM to intervene. According to him, the court of the deputy commissioner has declared it as B-kharab land and has directed the authorities concerned to issue khathas in the name of Srikantadatta Narasimharaaja Wadiyar, the scion of Mysore royal family and other respondents. In 1935 -- when Maharaja was ruling the state -- the said land was declared as B-kharab, which remained the same all these years. In fact, Maharajas Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar and Jayachamaraja Wadiyar wanted that to be maintained as a green belt to guard the sanctity of the sacred site. "To ensure this, maharaja Jayachamaraja Wadiyar did not make any attempt to register the property in his name till his death," he contended, adding that he didn't even go in for partition of the land in Kurburhalli.
Claiming that it is a public property, the MLC accused the DC of taking arbitrary decisions. "First of all, he can't review any decisions made in the district magistrate court. Secondly, he has to call public objections or have to seek opinion of public prosecutor before conversion of land from B-kharab (unusable land) to A-kharab, which he has not done."
"There real estate lobby is behind it to usurp the property which needs to be probed," the BJP leader said. He, however, was evasive when asked to name those involved. When asked whether district minister S A Ramdas is aware of it, he accused him of being negligent on the issue.
Meanwhile, deputy CM K S Eshwarappa, who also holds the revenue portfolio, said that he has convened a high-level meeting, and directed both the DC and the MLC to attend the same.
KIADB de-notification scandal , BMIC – NICE SCANDAL , MINING SCANDALS and Threats to RTI Applicant
- PIL Appeal To Honorable Supreme court of India For Writ of Mandamus
Just months back , we have witnessed the collapse of a multi storied building in bellary ,Karnataka & we have witnessed a fire tragedy in a multi-storey building in Bangalore, months ago there was collapse of a huge building under construction in Bangalore , all resulting in loss of human lives. Recently we have seen de-notification scam involving VVIPs . All these are the result of violations of Urban Town Planning Laws , Building bye-laws which are observed more in breach by the criminals & conniving public servants . The authorities are behaving like real estate agents of criminals , by-passing norms , framing laws to the tune of criminals . Authorities are not honoring RTI requests & even high ranking IAS officer repeatedly threatens a commoner seeking information under RTI ACT .
Before embarking on land acquisition for any projects government authorities must plan & assess what are the actual requirement of land for that particular project. After finding out the actual requirement of land , they must assess the loss of forest area , cost of compensation pay-out , cost of rehabilitation of people , environmental damages & resultant health damages to people in surrounding areas ,it’s resultant losses when the project gets running , if at all the benefits , profits from that project far outweighs the losses ,then only project should be put before the public for their consent. Ministers & IAS officers must not take these decisions all by themselves in a hush – hush manner.
Even when a project is downsized , from the previously approved size , the land left over , surplus land must be given back to the original owner on first priority . The project managers must not sell those surplus lands to third parties for a premium .
Even when KIADB ,BDA ,MUDA & other authorities acquire lands from farmers ,for constructing industrial parks or residential layouts , etc , has framed comprehensive development plans (CDP) for their respective cities , clearly demarcating land usage pattern . However after acquisition of land , the KIADB , BDA , MUDA , etc are selling those very lands to private third parties for different land usage purposes ,completely violating CDP. Are these KIADB , BDA , BBMP , MUDA ,MCC real estate agents of Rich people ?
Now , consider NICE – BMIC SCANDAL or MINING Scandals , public servants in responsible positions are accusing each other , there by proving that almost all of them are criminals. In democracy , ministers & IAS officers are public servants , MLAs , MPs are not leaders just public servants - representative of people. They must represent people’s wishes & must order the IAS & other officers to fulfil the wishes of people as per legal provisions.
Information input forms part of process of one's expression. One's expression in any forms – written , oral , etc becomes information input to the opposite person , in turn he expresses his reply. Information & Expression are inseparable parts & form lifeline of a democracy. That is the reason , Right to Expression is the basic fundamental right as well as human right of every Indian citizen. When a person's right to expression is violated , his other rights to equality , justice , etc also are violated. Suppression of Information amounts to curbing of Expression.
In a democracy , people have a right to know how the public servants are functioning. However till date public servants are hiding behind the veil of Officials Secrets Act (which is of british vintage created by british to suppress native indians). By this cover-up public servants are hiding their own corruption , crimes , mismanagement , failures , etc. even RTI Act is not being followed intoto by public servants. However the recent delhi high court ruling affirming that CJI is under RTI purview & bound to answer RTI request , is noteworthy.
Our previous RTI request to CJI , union home secretary of GOI, President of India , DG & IGP of GOK and others were not honored. The information I sought were answers to the following questions mentioned in the below mentioned websites . the questions concerned the past , present continuing injustices meted out to millions of Indian citizens , due to wrong / illegal work practices of Indian judges , police & public servants . The information we sought would expose the traitors , anti-nationals , criminals in public service. The information we are seeking are no defense secrets , no national secrets. The truthful information exposes the anti-nationals , traitors in the public service & strengthens our national security , national unity & integrity.
Hereby , I do request the honorable supreme court of India to consider this as a PIL for : "writ of Mandamus" and to issue instructions to the concerned public servants in the following cases to perform their duties & to answer the questions.
BMIC by NICE & land scams in Karnataka – an appeal to honourable supreme court of India & H.E.Honourable Governor Of Karnataka
When a crime is noticed , it is the duty of the government to investigate who did it ? and to legally prosecute them in court & provide justice . if thousands of criminals , lakhs of criminals got together & did the same type of crimes , all of them must be legally prosecuted. Just for the overwhelming numbers of criminals law of the land cann't be changed. However in the Karnataka state , many political bigwigs , rich crooks have done the same crime , LAND GRABBING – illegal possession of government land & illegal constructions over it. Important land records of those government lands , lands belonging to poor are lost in record rooms of civic bodies ( cunningly destroyed by corrupt officials ) Now, their political masters are legalizing the crimes . what a shame to the government of Karnataka ?
The shri.A.T. RAMA SWAMY , (M.L.A) standing committee in the Previous legislative assembly probed the land grabbings in Karnataka & gave it's report to the government . However the government in a hurry , is auctioning – off those government lands without proper publicity to the auction process , sufficient time for bidder's expression of interest. In some cases , a pittance is levied as penalty for the illegal occupation to get it legalized. The government is not bothered about legally prosecuting the illegal occupier of those lands. In many civic bodies , important property documents belonging to the government & poor are missing from the record rooms. All these point towards the government intention , to legalise the crimes of illegal land occupiers who are nothing but their own political cronies.
The recent ordinance by government of Karnataka to regularize land deals is envisaging to legalize the crimes of rich. The illegal land conversions , land encroachments , encroachment of civic amenities made by the rich are being legalized with levying a pittance as penalty in the name of public welfare . Whereas the land worth at today's market prices are 10's of thousands of crore it is only wefare of the rich & mighty . IT IS GOING TO BE MOTHER OF ALL SCAMS. The authorities evict poor tribal people from their ancestral forest area in the name of conservation , evict tribal people from villages in the name of development without proper rehabilitation measures. The government is not giving land rights to slum dwellers , poor , dalits over the land they are dwelling , the government is deaf to appeals of dalits for land rights. However the same government is sympathetic to rich who have encroached land & built huge commercial complexes worth crores violating all norms with total disregard to civic amenity or safety.

THE CLOUT OF LAND MAFIA IN INDIA -the governments daring to by-pass judiciary
An appeal ( PIL ) to the honourable supreme court of India
The recent attempts by government of India & other state governments to legalise land grabbings by enacting new land laws in the name of public welfare is farce . while crores of people are without shelter & are living on streets , people in slums , tribal lands are struggling for land rights since decades the governments were mum & deaf. Now , as the rulers themselves & their cronies have built illegal constructions running into crores they are shedding crocodile tears in the name of public welfare. In india, various state governments have enacted " town municipal / city corporation laws & building laws" , to ensure orderly growth of cities & towns , to ensure the safety of buildings & it's occupants , to ensure the safety of pedestrians & road users.
Numerous educated people , ruling elite – ministers , police , government officials , M.Ps , M.L.As , etc knowing fully well about the laws have illegally built bungalows , commercial complexes , throwing to wind all laws. In their greed they have shown utter contempt towards law. They have encroached dried –up lakes , rivulets , rain flow paths , drainages , foot paths , civic amenity sites. In their building there are violations of- lack of fire safety exits , lack of parking space , encroachment of foot paths , conservancy line , drainages , etc.
There is wide spread corruption in the corporation / municipal authorities. For a price officials have converted CA sites to commercial purposes , authorised deviations / encroachments of public
lands like foot paths , drainages , parking space , set-off , etc. The corporation officials themselves are violating city master plans. Even before authorising the conversions & encroachments of lands , the
corporation officials are not making alternate arrangements. By all these corrupt deeds many of the corporation officilas have become millionaires . however more & more road accidents are taking place , building collapses & fire tragedies are occurring , during heavy rainfalls water is getting clogged – ALL THESE RESULTING IN LOSS OF HUMAN LIVE & PROPERTIES. In recent days numerous murders have taken place over the real estate issues . THE CRIMINAL LAND GRABBERS MADE DEATH THREATS & FORCED THE PIL APPLICANT IN THE KARNATAKA HIGH COURT ABOUT LAND GRABBINGS IN KORAMANGALA LAYOUT BANGALORE. The government of karnataka instead of protecting the PIL applicant & upholding the law has taken sides with the land grabbers.
The state governments of karnataka & delhi has got M.L.As & officials who have themselves violated building laws & grabbed govt lands. Now , the two govts are contemplating to bring in laws regularising these land grabbing crimes for a pittance as penalty. All to by-pass judiciary. The governments are least bothered about the lives of poor & only too caring towards the land grabbing criminals. The same governments have not yet given land rights to poor slum dwellers / dalits , land rights to tribals living in forest since centuries , land rights to poor agricultural labourers, where as it is full of concern towards rich & mighty land grabbers – criminals. Bottom line – whatever be the magnitude of crime if you are rich & mighty law will be bended to suit you , by bad luck if you are a poor folk you are bound to suffer being on the right side of law also. Hereby , e-voice urges requests the honourable supreme court of india , to register this as a PIL , to provide protection to the PIL applicant in bangalore & to take appropriate actions against the GOK & GOD nipping at bud their illegal motives to regularise land grabbings.
ILLEGALITIES IN AUCTION OF M/S IDEAL JAWA LTD MYSORE
During the auction of above sick industry the land usage was for industrial purpose only. so, people with other commercial objectives were not allowed to participate in the auction. Thereby, the final auctioned amount was very much less than the market value. This has a direct bearing on employees of that industry , lending banks , govt dept , etc who have all put forward their claims for dues from that industry. noW, all of them are getting very much less than what is due from the closed company. A loss of crores of rupees to banks , government , employees has been made by the cunningness of civic bodies.
Now in a backdoor move the M.U.D.A , K.I.A.D.B , M.C.C are moving to give land usage conversion to the new occupier, who is building posh villas & resorts here. Is it right & justified ? should not they conduct auction once again or charge market value to the new owner.
LAND MAFIA IN KARNATAKA
The land mafia which has links with political leadership & top govt servants in the state, is running business widely in & around bangalore,mysore & other major towns. The authorities like city corporation , B.D.A, M.U.D.A , K.I.A.D.B , etc are denotifying the lands meant for public welfare in favour of land mafia. The authorities have earmarked these lands for public welfare ie parks , schools , hospitals at the planning stage itself for current & future needs of the people. In most cases the land mafia has illegally occupied the lands , built commercial complexes & sold it for crores of rupees.
1. the authorities are not demolishing these illegal structures & prosecuting the occupiers.
2. In some cases the authorities are denotifying , regularizing those illegal occupations by levying a pittance as penalty which is very much less than the market value.
3. In some cases for example a notified site for school is alloted to an educational trust. They build 2 rooms in 25% of the site & state that this is free school meant for weaker sections. After a year or two , they state before the authority that to run this school they need funds. So they are planning to build commercial complexes around the school site & by the rent collected from shops they will run the school. In this manner sites meant for schools , hospitals , temples & other social organisations apply for conversion of land usage & use major portion of the land for commercial purposes.
Hereby , e-voice urges the govt of karnataka & other authorities ,
1. to clearly demarcate the govt lands & announce it boldly to the public.
2. To clearly demarcate lands meant for public amenities both for current & future usage.
3. To clearly demarcate lands required for town planning say 20 years down the line.
4. To clearly mention in such plans the purpose it is reserved for ie parks , hospitals , schools , etc.
5. To impartially act against illegal occupiers – rich or poor.
6. Say while denotifying a land meant for school an alternate land for school must be incorporated in the original plan.
7. Before denotification public objections must be called for & considered responsibly.
8. After denotification the land must be sold at the market rate not the govt rate.
9. In case of land usage conversion also the objections from the public must be called for & considered responsibly.
10. After land usage conversion an alternate land must be incorporated in the plan for the original use.
11. In case of land usage conversion also the occupier must be charged at the market value.
12. To declare annually the property details of all officials with denotifying / land usage conversion authorities together with details of their family member's properties with provision for public scrutiny, cross checking.
13. To ruthlessly prosecute the corrupt officials & ministers.
14. To make public the report of past district magistrate mysore mr. T.M. VIJAYA BHASKAR about illegal land dealings in & around mysore. Also the action taken report.
ILLEGALITIES IN BANGALORE-MYSORE EXPRESSWAY PROJECT BMIC by NICE
Different political parties are trading charges against each other about illegalities in the mysore-bangalore expressway project. Grave mistakes have been committed by the previous state governments. The saving grace is judiciary has taken note of it. The fundamental principle behind land acquisitions by the governments is to use that acquired lands for public welfare. As the govt acquires the land with this noble intentions even the land looser contents himself with compensation at govt rate. Always the govt rate is much below market value. If at all the govt wants to give out that acquired land to a private party for private use or for the use of a selected few, the govt must give prevailing market rate to the land looser. In such cases the govt does not have authority to force the land owner to sell his property.
In this mysore-bangalore 4 lane expressway project, following inconsistencies are there,
1. this road is not for free public use, but only for those who pays the toll fees.
2. The luxurious resorts , townships , etc which are to be built alongside this road are not open for free public usage but only for the rich who can afford it.
3. The govt has concluded this deal in a hush-hush manner.
4. Any disputes raised by this project should be addressed to international arbiter at london which a poor land owner or general public can ill-afford.
5. The govt has not paid the prevailing market value to the land loosers.
6. The govt has not given the option to land owners not to sell their property.
7. This whole project is for rich , built by the rich for the rich & not meant for public welfare.
The govt must give back the lands to the owners who wants it back & must pay the market value to those willing to sell. As this project is built by wealthy people for wealthy people why cann't they cough- up market value?
CRIMES BY BANGALORE DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ( B.D.A)
AGAINST A POOR WOWAN
The B.D.A flouts it's own rules & spreads red carpet for big land developers & land grabbers. B.D.A posting is a huge money spinner for corrupt officials. The corrupt B.D.A officials work hand in glove with criminal elements & rowdies. They illegally evict genuine allottees who are poor & without any connections from allotted prime lands & sell-off those prime land to the highest bidder of bribe. The poor fellow is re-alloted lands in backward areas & in some cases left in the lurch.
Now , take the following case. Mr. S.D. chandrashekaraiah a poor old man aged around 80 years was allotted with house no.185, kumaraswamy lay-out, first block, bangalore in 1978 vide letter no.
310/267/BDA/ADM/KMRSL(H)/78-79 dt 11/08/1978.
The chairman of B.D.A has allotted the built house on lease cum sale basis. The poor old man mr. S.D.chandrashekaraiah complied with all the rules & in accordance with it even deposited 25% of the house cost in B.D.A'S account. However when he went over to his allotted house for residing in it, he found out some rowdy elements were already residing there. He complained about this matter to the legal owner of the house ie B.D.A . the B.D.A officials didn't take steps to evict the illegal encroachers nor did they make any complaint to the police. His appeals to B.D.A, chief minister of karnataka , etc fell on deaf ears. Hurt by this gross injustice & mounting financial burdens the poor old man died.
Subsequently, the poor man's daughter smt. Nagalakshmi who was also very poor , appealed to the B.D.A authorities once again , to evict illegal encroachers from her father's allotted house. This time the corrupt B.D.A officials played a different game. They showed her a vacant house, gave her oral instructions to live in that vacant house & told her that they will regularise it in due course. The hapless poor woman took huge loans & repaired the house fit for occupation. Just before she was to occupy that house , corrupt B.D.A officials once again planted rowdy elements in that house. Once again the poor woman was cheated. She lost her house, on top of it her loan burden mounted.
Till date, that poor woman is suffering from these gross injustices of B.D.A . SHAMELESS B.D.A OFFICIALS who take thousands of rupees salary & perks every month, all at the expense of tax-payer has not even cared to rectify the injustice. Thereby, they are violating the poor woman's fundamental & human rights.
Hereby, e-voice urges the honourable chief minister of karnataka, honourable lokayuktha for karnataka , honourable chairman national human rights commission , honourable chairman national commission for women & honourable chairman state commission for women karnataka, to take the appropriate action & to speedily provide justice to this poor woman.
