To,
Honourable Chief Justice of India ,
c/o Registrar,
Supreme Court of India,
New Delhi.
Honourable sir ,
Subject : - PIL Appeal To Honorable Supreme court of India For Writ of Mandamus
LITMUS TEST for HONESTY of SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
AKRAMA SAKRAMA / REGULARISATION OF ILLEGAL LAND ENCROACHMENTS
ILLEGAL LAND CONSTRUCTIONS BUILDING BYE-LAW VIOLATIONS
KIADB de-notification scandal , BMIC – NICE SCANDAL , MINING SCANDALS and
Threats to RTI Applicant
Rich builders , crooks in their greed for more money ( knowing fully well the illegalities )
have constructed buildings on public land , constructed buildings violating the building

bye-laws. Now , those crooks are earning lakhs of rupees rental income . The
government law enforcement agencies were mum , didn’t demolish such buildings in
time , allowing time for crooks to benefit from anticipated regularisation. However the
same government agencies have not shown kind consideration to poor people who
have constructed temporary hutments on public land . Those hutments were immediately
demolished & people evicted.
These building bye-law violators , Land grabbers are not poor people living below poverty
line earning only rupees 32 per day as per planning commission of india. These rich
crooks don’t deserve sympathy , kind consideration as they have committed the crime
knowing fully well the illegalities and they can bear the loss due to the demolition of their
illegal buildings. The government must also recover rent & other monetary gains made out
of those illegal buildings by the builder.
The recent move of Government of Karnataka to regularize building bye-law violations &
Public Land Grabbers amounts to :
1. Rewards for illegalities , crimes if one is rich.
2. Punishes , demotivates honest law abiding citizens.
3. Double standards in law – one set for rich & one set for the poor.
4. Total disregard to safety of people in those illegal buildings .
5. Total disregard to safety of people in the neighbourhood and people using roads
passing by those illegal buildings.
Judicial Layout Site Allotment – BRIBE TO JUDGES ?
Is the allotment of residential plots to Judges @ yelahanka Judicial Layout , a mode
of paying bribe to judges by the biggest litigant government itself & the corrupt
public servants in the government. So that the government can pass illegal laws like
“Regularization of Illegal Buildings” , “ Illegal Appointments to Medical colleges in
Hassan , Mysore” ,etc & ministers , IAS officers can indulge in illegal
unconstitutional acts , but the courts will not take any appropriate action suo motto
or based on any petition. IT IS MUTUAL HELP , NEXUS OF TWO CRIMINALS –

JUDICIARY & GOVERNMENT. Ofcourse , there are honest few exceptions in judiciary
& government. We Respect those honest few.
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 following Cross -
Examination / RTI questions.

Editorial : PIL Appeal To Honorable Supreme court of India For Writ of Mandamus - No JAIL for
Criminal Judges & Criminal Police ?
We salute our freedom fighters , military personnel & martyrs for all the sacrifices made by them.
Let us build a strong , Secular , Democratic India by getting rid off few corrupt elements , anti
nationals , traitors among public servants , among judiciary & among police who are greater
threat to India’s unity & integrity than Pakistani terrorists or chinese military.

Hereby , i do request the honourable supreme court of india , for a Supreme Court monitored
CBI Enquiry into this whole issue as karnataka police are helpless , they don't have legal
powers to prosecute high & mighty , constitutional functionaries. They have not even
enquired the guilty VVIPs even once however Under pressure from higher-ups they repeatedly
called me the complainant to police station took statements from me all for closing the
files.
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.
As the trial court Judges cross verify the antecedents , history of the parties in a case to
ascertain party’s honesty , integrity , as the investigating police officers cross check the
antecedents , history of a complainant / accussed / witnesses to ascertain their honesty ,
integrity of the accussed / complainant , in the same way the parties in a case , as complainant /
accussed / witnesses have a right to ascertain the integrity , honesty of the trial court judge &
investigating police officers to ensure they are not biased and provide a fair , level ground. JAI

PAY UP Justice Sathasiva - DAMAGES PAYMENT / FINAL SHOW-CAUSE NOTICE
TO CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA
I don’t know whether secretariat staff of CJI office & DARPG / DPG officials are
forwarding my appeals for justice , e-mails to you or not. They will be held
accountable for their lapses if any. This notice is against the repeated failure of
constitutional duties & indirect collusion with criminals by previous CHIEF
JUSTICEs OF INDIA. Notice is served against them , to the office of CJI , NOT
personally against you. At the individual level I do whole heartedly respect
honourable justice Sathasiva.
Please refer my appeal for justice through DARPG ;
DLGLA/E/2013/00292
DEPOJ/E/2013/00679
In india democracy is a farce , freedom a mirage. the most basic freedom RIGHT TO
INFORMATION & EXPRESSION , is not honoured by the government,as the
information opens up the crimes of V.V.I.Ps & leads to their ill-gotten wealth. The
public servants are least bothered about the lives of people or justice to them. these
type of fat cats , parasites are a drain on the public exchequer . these people want
,wish me to see dead , wish to see HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH closed . so that, a voice
against injustices is silenced forever , the crimes of V.V.I.Ps closed , buried forever.
To my numerous appeals , HRW’s appeals to you ,you have not yet replied. It clearly
shows that you are least bothered about the lives of people or justice to them .it
proves that you are hell bent to protect the criminals at any cost. you are just
pressurising the police to enquire me ,to take my statement, to repeatedly call me
to police station all with a view to silence me.all of you enjoy “legal immunity

privileges” ,why don’t you have given powers to the police / investigating officer to
summon all of you for enquiry ?or else why don’t all of you are not appearing before
the police voluntarily for enquiry ?at the least why don’t all of you are not sending
your statement about the case to the police either through legal counsel or through
post? you are aiding criminals ,by denying me job oppurtunities in R.B.I CURRENCY
NOTE PRESS mysore , city civil court ,bangalore , distict court , mysore ,etc & by
illegally closing my newspaper.
there is a gross, total mismatch between your actions and your oath of office. this
amounts to public cheating & moral turpitude on your part.
1.you are making contempt of the very august office you hold.
2.you are making contempt of the constitution of india.
3.you are making contempt of citizens of india.
4.you are sponsoring & aiding terorrism & organized crime.
5.you are violating the fundamental & human rights of the citizens of india and of
neighbouring countries.
6.you are violating & making contempt of the U.N HUMAN RIGHTS CHARTER to
which india is a signatory.
7.you are obstructing me from performing my fundamental duties as a citizen
of india.
8. As a result of your gross negligence of constitutional duties you have caused me
damages / losses to the tune of RUPEES TWO CRORE ONLY.
you are hereby called upon to Pay damages to me and SHOW-CAUSE within 30
days , why you cann’t be legally prosecuted for the above mentioned crimes .
If i am repeatedly called to police station or else where for the sake of
investigations , the losses i do incurr as a result like loss of wages , transportation ,
job , etc must be borne by the government. prevoiusly the police / IB personnel
repeatedly called me the complainant (sufferer of injustices) to police station for
questioning , but never called the guilty culprits even once to police station for
questioning , as the culprits are high & mighty . this type of one sided questioning
must not be done by police or investigating agencies . if anything untoward happens
to me or to my family members like loss of job , meeting with hit & run accidents ,
loss of lives , etc , the jurisdictional police together with above mentioned accussed
public servants will be responsible for it. Even if criminal nexus levels fake
charges , police file fake cases against me or my dependents to silence me , this
complaint is & will be effective.
if anything untoward happens to me or my dependents , the government of india is
liable to pay Rs. TWO crore as compensation to survivors of my family. if my whole
family is eliminated by the criminal nexus ,then that compensation money must be

donated to Indian Army Welfare Fund. afterwards , the money must be recovered by
GOI as land arrears from the salary , pension , property , etc of guilty judges , police
officials , public servants & Constitutional fuctionaries. Thanking you. Jai Hind ,
Vande Mataram.

Judicial Layout Site Allotment – BRIBE TO JUDGES ?
Is the allotment of residential plots to Judges @ yelahanka Judicial Layout , a mode
of paying bribe to judges by the biggest litigant government itself & the corrupt
public servants in the government. So that the government can pass illegal laws like
“Regularization of Illegal Buildings” , “ Illegal Appointments to Medical colleges in
Hassan , Mysore” ,etc & ministers , IAS officers can indulge in illegal
unconstitutional acts , but the courts will not take any appropriate action suo motto
or based on any petition. IT IS MUTUAL HELP , NEXUS OF TWO CRIMINALS –
JUDICIARY & GOVERNMENT. Ofcourse , there are honest few exceptions in judiciary
& government. We Respect those honest few.
Bylaw deviations to be regularised
The Governor’s green signal to the Akrama Sakrama Bill may bring cheer to thousands of
property owners in the city. The property owners may now be able to regularise their
building byelaw deviations, specifically deviations in setback and floor area ratio.
As per the Karnataka Town and Country Planning (KTCP) And Certain Other Laws
(Amendment) Act, 2009, and the amended Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, 1976,
residential property owners will be able to regularise deviations up to a maximum of 50 per
cent and for the commercial buildings, the maximum deviations allowed is up to 25 per cent.

This will apply to buildings constructed before December 3, 2009.
Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) M. Lakshminarayan told The Hindu that
around 80 per cent of the 16 lakh properties in the city have one or the other form of
deviation. He said that the building byelaw violations are common and most citizens deviate
from the sanctioned plan. This could be for a variety of reasons, including vaastu. The
BBMP only allows five per cent violations.
He said that the largest beneficiaries of this scheme will be large apartment complexes and
big commercial buildings, who have accrued the violations. “Individual, small property
owners may not be in large numbers, neither will the deviations be huge.”
Mr. Laskhminarayan said the BBMP had not yet assessed the revenue that it will get from
this one-time payment to regularise their deviations. “However, the BBMP will not
compromise on safety aspects. Regularisation of deviations will be done only if there is a
full compliance of safety norms.”
Regularisation of unauthorised buildings in government land on cards
BANGALORE: Karnataka government has planned to introduce an amendment to
the Karnataka Land Revenue Act 1964, to regularise unauthorised constructions of dwelling
houses in government lands in urban areas, official sources said.
The amendment Bill would seek to insert a new section 94 CC in the Act, providing for grant
of land in the case of unauthorised construction of dwelling houses in government land in
urban areas.
Governor H R Bhardwaj had returned the Karnataka Land Revenue (Second Amendment)
Bill, 2012, passed in both the Houses of the Legislature during the previous BJP
government on the ground that "the amendment does not serve any public good or social
cause. On the other hand, it may lead to illegal grabbing of government land."
A team of advocates is studying the points raised by the Governor. Keeping in mind public
interest, the government would draft the Bill again and introduce it in the Assembly.
Regularisation of constructions on government/revenue lands would benefit lakhs of
households in Bangalore. The proposed legislation is aimed at regularising unauthorised
occupation of revenue land belonging to government in urban areas with dwelling houses
constructed, by granting the land to unauthorised occupants, the sources said.
Akrama-Sakrama sees a comeback
It has been almost a decade since different political parties promised regularisation of
unauthorised development and constructions in urban areas, including Bangalore city which

has the maximum number of such structures, through a scheme popularly known as
Akrama-Sakrama.
And in 2007, the then Janata Dal(S)-Bharatiya Janata Party government made a little
progress on this promise by enacting the Karnataka Town and Country Planning (KTCP)
and certain others (Amendment) Act, 2004 in giving 90 days for regularisation of four types
of irregularities.
Following this, the Akrama-Sakrama scheme was launched in September 2007 after rules,
fixing fees for regularisation, depending upon type of violation, were framed.
Then, the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), with much fanfare, issued a
booklet with application forms for regularising four types of irregularities — plot in
unauthorised layout/sub-divided land; building with land use violation; set back violation (up
to 50 per cent for residential and 25 per cent for commercial); and floor area violation —
between September 15 and December 14, 2007.
However, the scheme was put on hold after the owners of unauthorised structures/sites
rose in protest, terming the regularisation fee as exorbitant, and the government agreed to
revise the fee. At the same time, the Karnataka High Court was moved by some citizens
questioning the legality of the scheme, while a few property owners questioned the high fee.
Meanwhile, the BBMP refunded about Rs. 28 crore collected from about 4,000 applicants.
Later, the BJP government during 2008-10, approved an Ordinance initially and later
passed an amended Bill to facilitate re-launching of Akrama-Sakrama scheme while
reducing the regularisation fee by about 50 per cent.
But, both the attempts were shot down by Governor H.R. Bhardwaj who said that the
challenge to the 2007 amendment was pending before the High Court.
It is election time again and some political parties have revived their promise on the issue.
While the Janata Dal(S) has made a categorical promise to implement the scheme in its
manifesto, the BJP has given an assurance to issue khatas for revenue site owners,
besides legalising illegal occupancy of buildings in towns and cities.
However, the Congress manifesto is silent on this issue.
But a cross section of residents and legal experts say that the aim of such schemes should
be to prevent recurrence of such illegality in future while regularising the existing violations
as a one-time measure.
But unfortunately, the sole objective of the scheme is to make it a revenue generator for
taking up development works as promised by the parties in their manifestos. In the process,
the property owners are painted as “law-breakers”, though the politically well-connected
developers are responsible as they are on the ones who formed these unauthorised layouts
and sold the sites to the gullible buyers. “Why should only the purchasers of land pay

penalties? Why is no penalty levied on developers who actually violated the law while
forming layouts, and the officials who did not stop illegal formation of layouts and failed to
protect the interest of the purchasers of sites,” said Ramesh K, a resident of Sai Layout. He
also said that even banks had failed to protect the interest of borrowers as many people had
purchased sites only after banks approved loan following a perusal of land documents.
Col. (Retd.) Mathew Thomas, a citizen activist, says that Supreme Court’s 2006 guideline
on preventing illegal land use in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi area would be the best
example to implement in Bangalore as it does not allow use of illegally built commercial
structure in a residential area. As far as formation of unauthorised layouts are concerned, it
is the developers of these layouts and the officials who deserve more penalty, though
buyers too have to legally own up responsibility, says Col. Mathew.
As many politicians themselves are into land development business, will the political parties
that promise regularisation show courage to make these developers pay up for the illegality,
asks C. Sudhakar, a legal consultant. He stressed the need for a transparent mechanism
where citizens can buy sites or apartment without fearing of getting branded as “a resident
of unauthorised layout/apartment”.
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.
Save Hebbal Lake Save BEML Quarters Lake in Mysore
– An Appeal to Honourable Supreme Court
of India
In the past , Mysore Maharaja & other philanthropists have donated their personal
lands , properties , built many lakes & ponds in mysore , bangalore and other places
with public concern , public wellbeing in their mind . They built these lakes &
ponds in addition to preserving the natural lakes & ponds. They knew about the
importance of ecological balance & environment. The present rulers , IAS & KAS
babus have even failed to preserve the lakes & ponds built decades ago , let alone
build one. These Public servants have extended their tacit support to building
mafia , to kill these lakes & ponds , to fill those lakes with industrial effluents ,
sewage & building mud wastes. After killing those lakes & 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 answer my questions in full , they only gave

half truths. When I persisted 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 a person supposed to be close to the 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 & Meek before Land Mafia. Don’t the same Judges & Police have Guts , Bravery
, Duty Consciousness & 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
throughout 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.
Date : 17.11.2012 Your’s Sincerely,

f-minister
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.
BMTF proposes, government disposes
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
ILLUSTRATION: ANAND NAOREM

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
Many of the allottees issued certificates to themselves, while some got letters from Lions and
Rotary Clubs

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.

The judge was allotted two adjoining plots on the same day (30 March 2008).
According to her Disclosure of Assets statement of 2009, the judge already had a house
in her name, and another plot in her husband, advocate K Ganesan’s name. The house,
in the Uthangarai area of Krishnagiri district, was constructed in 1985 on a plot
purchased in 1982. The plot of land is located in Saidapet and was purchased in 1993.
She however admits in her declaration that she owns two plots, which she purchased
from the TN Housing Board in 2008. But this allocation was made under the General
Category. Since judges do not come under any of the quota categories, the
government’s way of allotting land to them differs from the rest. Judges are informed
about the availability of land. And when they apply for the same, the government
facilitates the allotment.

Allotted under ‘unblemished’ government servant category. On 6 June 2008, the
government transferred the ownership of the plot to his daughter Jennifer Jaffar, then a
student. Jennifer made two payments of Rs. 46.03 lakh and Rs.1.73 lakh towards cost
of the plot. In February 2009, she paid another Rs.60 lakh. After having paid Rs.1.07
crore, the ownership of plot was transferred to her mother Parvin Jaffar. Interestingly,
Parvin also made the payment all over again. In October 2009, she paid Rs. 50.64 lakh
and then again in November 2009, another Rs. 25 lakh was deposited. A further
payment of Rs. 51.5 lakh in the same month was made. Income tax officials feel the
Sait family made the double payment to avoid an IT investigation on Jennifer, who
would not have been able to show any source of income. The Tamil Nadu Housing
Board then returned the original amount paid by Jennifer. Now, Parvin in collaboration
with Durga Sankar, son of an IAS officer, has commissioned a builder to construct a
multi-storey complex in which 12 flats have already been built. Each flat is expected to
fetch an estimated 1 crore. So, by paying Rs. 1.26 crore in 2009, the IGP’s family made
a profit of more than Rs. 5.7 crore.

‘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.

Plots are allotted even
without any formal
applications. There is no
transparency at all

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.
Mysore DC indicted for illegally delisting Rs 6k crore land
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.
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.
