Lokayukta additional director general of police HS Rao said they registered a case against 6 persons, including IAS officer Aiyappa .then )angalore 0rbandeputy co$$issioner/, special tahsildar .)angalore orth/ ! ;opalaswa$y, revenue inspector )alakrishna$urthy of Arakere circle, Hesaraghatta, and subMregistrar .Hesaraghatta/ !?

Land and property are coveted assets. So why are chief ministers allowed to give these away as favours? JEEMON JAO! trac"s how #amil Nadu hief MinisterM $arunanidhi has %een using his &uotas

I ?*)*R, Chief inister of !arnataka )S @eddyurappa al$ost lost his 'ob, due to the uproar over preferential allot$ent of land and property to his sons andclose associates" He has since cancelled the allot$ents, asked his children to $ove out of his official residence, and retained his seat through so$e deft political$anoeuvring and $uscleMfle9ing" At the height of the ca$paign against hi$, as political opponents paraded on apparent $oral high ground, %*H*L!A publisheddetails of plots si$ilarly allotted by previous !arnataka chief $inisters, both of the Congress and the >1.S/, to relatives, servants, drivers, $aids and party$en.LA1 SCA 8"B, = 1ece$ber/" %he purpose was not to $ake @eddyurappas wrongdoings look less shocking, but to show that the proble$ was ende$ic andneeded rooting out" %he right given to chief $inisters to hand out public land to a favoured few O relatives, bureaucrats, 'udges, police officers and others O

s$acks of nepotis$ and arbitrary feudal power structures that should have no place in a $odern de$ocracy" .%hough there is no i$$ediate proof of this, so$e ofthese allot$ents could also be %enamitransactions, in which the ulti$ate ownership re$ains with the distributor of the largesse, ca$ouflaged by a stack of fakedocu$ents"/

%his power O euphe$istically called &discretionary 4uota( O has even been used to favour allegedly corrupt ar$y officers like ;eneral 1eepak !apoor .A% *AS*#I%H ;R*AS*, %*H*L!A, 8B ove$ber/, who was given a large BB s4 yd plot in Haryana by the Hooda govern$ent, which then faced the e$barrass$ent ofrefusing hi$ per$ission to sell it off before five years had elapsed, as per rules" %he plot was given to hi$ by the govern$ent as preferential allot$ent inrecognition for his Poutstanding achieve$ent"

%his week, continuing its ca$paign against outMofMturn allot$ents of land and property, %*H*L!A has an e9posQ on %a$il adu Chief inister !arunanidhi" %he%a$il adu Housing )oard .%H)/ which co$$ands a large land bank, has a govern$ent discretionary 4uota .;1+/ under which 6 percent of all allot$ents canbe reco$$ended by the C" *ligibility for allot$ent under ;1+ is as follows5 single3deserted wo$en widows social workers physically handicapped personsdefence personnel e9Mservice$en e$inent persons in the field of science, arts, literature, econo$ics, public ad$inistration and sports freedo$ fightersgovern$ent servants with unble$ished service records e$ployees of -S0s, central govern$ent undertakings and nationalised banks -< institutions 'ournalistsuniversity staff and e$ployees of local bodies and $unicipalities"

#hile so$e of these categories sound kosher, $ost of the$ raise a funda$ental 4uestion5 why should the govern$ent have the power to give coveted land toselect e$ployees and 'ournalists over others7 %he only rationale could be pro9i$ity O which is an untenable reason for being the beneficiary of political favours,often worth several crores"

Setting this aside, even within the legal a$bit of the ;1+, %*H*L!As investigation shows that $any of the allot$ents in !arunanidhis tenure have violated therule book" any bureaucrats and their relatives have been given plots or flats under the category of &social worker(" So$e of these last did social work when theywere in college $any of the$ clai$ to be volunteers in such routine activity as helping in blood donation or eye ca$ps" any have issued certificates tothe$selves so$e have ac4uired letters fro$ the Lions and Rotary Clubs with vague endorse$ents" In other violations, the rules say that no one who has anyother land or property in %a$il adu or any other capital city, in either their own or spouse or $inor childrens na$e, can apply for ;1+ allot$ents" %*H*L!Afound this is routinely violated"

%he other braen violation lies in the clai$ of &unble$ished( service records as a 4ualification for allot$ent" #hen R%I activist ? ;opalakrishnan sought a list ofsuch bureaucrats, Additional Secretary S Solo$on Ra'said, &As no unble$ished govern$ent servantcertificates are issued, the 4uestion of furnishing a listof na$es does not arise"( %he additional secretary also clarified that the ho$e depart$ent didnt have such a list" %his is the phanto$ category under which $anypublic servants like >affar Sait, 6KJF batch I-S officer, now Inspector ;eneral of -oliceGIntelligence, got large allot$ents of land in pri$e locations" #hy the$

%his was disclosed by LC ;" adhusudan at a press $eet at -athrakarthara )havan here today"

*laborating on the issue, adhusudan said &%he 6,BBB acres of land covers Survey o" 6 in -alya Hobli of !ollegal taluk and Survey o" 6E= in Shivanasa$udraforest area in Cha$ara'anagar district" In fact, !ollegal Assistant Co$$issioner, in an order passed through the 1C Court on 1ec" 6:, 8B66, had reiterated that thesaid area was a govern$ent forest land" However the then 1C "?" Savithri bowing to the pressure of a few vested interests had issued an order on >uly J statingthat the said land was not a govern$ent property which subse4uently let in $any private parties to encroach upon the land threatening the rich flora and fauna ofthe forest region"

Continuing, adhusudan said that any such i$portant order should have co$e fro$ the High Court" Hence he urged the govern$ent to initiate a C)I in4uiry intothe case by cancelling the for$er 1Cs order and booking her for cri$inal offence"

*9pressing apprehension that the forest land would beco$e a haven for land $afia, he alleged that for$er Senior -olice officials, rich industrialists and influentialpoliticians were involved in the deal" He, however, did not $ention na$es"

adhusudan said that he would sub$it a detailed letter to the Chief inister enclosing the relevant docu$ents to initiate i$$ediate action"

Referring to the sca$ of land at the foot of Cha$undi Hill, adhusudan said that he was happy that a depart$ental en4uiry would begin soon on the for$er1eputy Co$$issioner ?astrad who was involved in the issue"

is said that he took interest in digging out infor$ation about the site after an ac4uaintance of his disclosed about the fraudulent deal"

%hanks to the efforts of 01A Secretary )asavara'u who $ade $eticulous investigations of the docu$ents, the 01A property worth several crores was saved

fro$ being usurped"

%he site is in >ayalaksh$ipura$, which was for$ed about =B years ago" It is a corner site off the road leading to %he ;reen Hotel on Hunsur road" %he site bears

the nu$ber 8:3A, having site nu$ber 8: towards the east, another site on the north and roads on the western and southern sides"

%he fraud was co$$itted by Ra'u, FB, a resident of -aduvarahalli 8nd ain, 1oor o" =" He is said to have forged the signature of 01A Tone = Special

%ahasildar 1evara' and also used a duplicate rubber sta$p for the fake docu$ents"

%he truth is that no auction was held for site no" 8:3A" However, the accused Ra'u is said to have created fake docu$ents that clai$ed that he had purchased the

site in an auction for Rs" 8E,=B on >an" :, 6KEK" A titleMdeed for the site was prepared at Tone = office under an"8, 8B6:"

%he site, for which fake docu$ents were prepared in >anuary, was registered three $onths later O that is on ar" 88, 8B6:, at =":B p$, at the SubMRegistrars

Soon after the fraudulent deal ca$e to the fore, 01A Secretary )asavara'u placed a signboard at the site four days ago, stating that the land belonged to the

01A" A co$plaint was lodged at the Laksh$ipura$ -olice Station yesterday"

It is surprising that the titleMdeed for the site was prepared despite any auction conducted by the 01A, no application sub$itted, no notes written by the officials

concerned and no entry $ade about cash pay$ent" %he -olice have launched a hunt for the accused who is at large"

01A co$$issioner C ; )etsur$ath said a site in ;okula$ III stage was allotted to one ! Ranganayaki in 6KE: through auction and she had obtained title

deed in 8BB8" )ut in the $eanti$e, the accused agara' has created fake docu$ents about the site and $ade the authorities believe that he had purchased the

said land in 6KEK in an auction" Later he has taken title deed for it and then sold it to another party"

)ut the cri$e has co$e to light after the actual owner approached the authorities only recently" #hen the docu$ents were verified, 01A authorities found that

)HE U9030of 'oy Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has been found guilty of encroaching $ore than five acres of govern$ent land worth Rs B crore in!arnataka" %he land $eant to be distributed to the poor and landless has been illegally ac4uired by Sri Sri, who has constructed an Art ofLiving $editation centre on it, violating the law"

*ven though the ysore 0rban 1evelop$ent Authority .01A/ wanted to fine P;uru'i and had asked for the de$olition of the building, a

ti$ely intervention by for$er chief $inister )S @eddyurappa has saved the Art of Living anuary, stating that the building constructed at Alanahalli was illegaland slapped a fine of Rs 6,BBB on the organisation as per the !arnataka Land Revenue Act, 6KF="

Apar t fro$ th is pena lty, Art of Living was given two da ys ti$e to de$olish the building , fa il ing whi ch the depart$ent would clear the

encroach$ent and slap an additional fine of Rs 8 per day"

Shunted out of the deputy co$$issioners post, ;upta, now assistant director of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, says, &1uring $y tenure, a survey

was being conducted of the 6,BB acres of govern$ent land" And wherever discrepancies were found, notices and orders were issued" 1uring

that survey, we found out that the Art of Living had encroached upon five acres of govern$ent land"(

;uptas orders were not carried out" %he sa$e day, a letter fro$ the chief $inisters office signed by -rincipal Secretary IS -rasad

prevented the deputy co$$issioner and the taluka ad$inistration fro$ carrying out its duties"

%he letter instructed the district and taluka ad$inistration against de$olishing the Art of Living building on survey o" =63< block .-F/ inAlanahal li , saying, &%he chie f $inister wil l take a decision on it "( However, @edd yurappa did no t bother to take any decision and the Art of

Living continued construction activities on the land"

&It was done to stop the precipitate action,( says -rasad" An Art of Living delegation had $et @eddyurappa and he had asked the district

ad$inistration to refrain fro$ action till a further decision is taken"

&%hat didnt happen due to various reasons" )ut the current Chief inister 1? Sadananda ;owda will call a $eeting with all the local officials,(

says -rasad"

Responding to the clai$s, !arthik !rishna of the Art of Livings bureau of co$$unication says, &Since 8BB:, we have been working to denotify

this land that was falsely notified to e9tract a bribe, which we fought tooth and nail and were also slapped with a fine"(

%he Art of Living has not encroached on any land, he says" %he Macre plot was purchased by R Raghu fro$ ;angu )elli )elliappa on 8ove$ber 8BB8" Since then, the pre$ises have been utilised with the per$ission of the landlord for conducting yoga and $editation classes,

says !rishna"

&%his is not the first ti$e a case of landMgrab has been brought against the Art of Living,( says Laksh$ana" In andya district, the organisation

has been accused of grabbing 8B acres" And a 8BBF report on govern$ent land encroach$ents in the state had also found discrepancies in its
