PETITION UNDER ARTICLE 12 to ARTICLE 35 & ARTICLE 51A OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA FOR ISSUANCE OF A WRIT IN THE NATURE OF

MANDAMUS UNDER ARTICLE 32 & ARTICLE 226 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA.

To ,

Hon'ble The Chief Justice of India and His Lordship's Companion

Justices of the Supreme Court of India. The Humble petition of the Petitioner above named.

MOST RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH :

1. Facts of the case:

"Power will go to the hands of rascals, , rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will be of low calibre and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They will fight among themselves for power and will be lost in political squabbles . A day would come when even air & water will be taxed." Sir Winston made this statement in the House of Commons just before the independence of India & Pakistan. Sadly , the forewarning of Late Winston Churchill has been proved right by some of our criminal , corrupt peoples representatives , police , public servants & Judges. Some of the below mentioned judges fall among the category of churchills men Rogues , Rascals & Freebooters.

2. Eventhough the information is readily available withRevenue department , MUDA , BDA , KIADB , MCC , BBMP & CMO , information was denied citing unavailability. If at all information is not truly available , why didnt the CPIO TRANSFER rti application to concerned departments, authorities ofGovernment of Karnataka.

3. Government of Karnataka has got the records ofillegalland encroachers , lake encroachers & violators of building bye-laws readily with it. Also it has got reports ofA T RAMASWAMYREPORT & SUBRAMANIAMREPORTregarding land crimes.

4. To my repeatedRTI appeals for information , appeals for justice MUDA , BDA & othersdidnt respond positively lest thetruth comes out. They conveniently hid the information leading to land crimes. Still through other sourcessome of the land crimes came to light through diligent efforts of media. See LANDCRIMES@ MUDA&BDAat followingweb pages :

https://sites.google.com/site/sosevoiceforjustice/rti-first-appeal---muda-bda-kiadb

5. Some of the land encroachmentscouldhave stopped in the early stages itself, whenit was brought to the notice of concerned authorities & courts of justice. Bothgovernment authorities & courts of justice failed to do their duties. Most prominent exampleEncroachment of HEBBALLAKE&BEMLQuarterslakein mysuru. In the early stageitself years ago it was brought to the notice of authorities & courts they didnt act on peoples complaint , ourcomplaint nor did they initiate suo motto action. End resultLAKEEncroachmenthas happened with permanent structures.

6. This proves some of the officials & Judgesare tacitly supporting land mafia. May beallotment of sites to judges @ Judicial layout Yelhanka , Bengaluru, etcmaybe a way ofbribing judgesby powers that be in the government.

7. If a commonman dares to encroachgovermnet land, police immediately take suo motto action & evict the encroacher. If building bye-law is violated ,illegal portion is razed down.All together POLICE , AUTHORITIES , COURTS act in a swift , ruthless manner with respect to common man.

8. When lakes are filled with construction debris(from a big corporates construction site ) with intention of killing the water body & usurping the land , when big IT giantsgrab government land , when ministers themselves build on government land , etcwhy dont police , authoritiestake suo motto actionimmediately at the early stage itself. Where is the swiftness , ruthlessness ofpolice , authorities , court in discharging their duties. Dutysacrificed at the feet ofrich & mighty ?

9. If a commonman is alleged of a petty crime he is immediately arrested , put behind bars. Police spend thousands of rupees for investigation to prosecute that petty criminal. Judges spend hours to hear that case & prepare judgements running into tens of pages sometimes even over & above thousand pages. Fine . When the very same police & judge themselves committ grave crimes detrimental to national security , integrity , etc , no arrests , no prosecution only cover-up , WHY ? Are Judges & Police above Law ? Is Judges MAFIA at play ?

10. The action of CPIOat MUDABDAMCCBBMP&CMOamounts to cover up of judges & their crimes. Thereby , CPIO is also committing a crime. Throght this petition the term JUDGE includesall officialsperforming quasi judicial functions & judicial functions. Billions of indians are barely sustaining on a single piece meal a day , we lower middle class people toiling hard to earn a few hundreds of rupees but still paying tax. Is it not shame to them / shame to JUDGEs that they draw pay & perks amounting to lakhs of rupees from our money , from taxes paid by us still not do their constitutional duties properly.

2. Question(s) of Law:

Are Judges , Police &RichPeople above Law & can go scot free ?

3. Grounds:

Requests for equitable justice , free expression & protection to life & liberty.

4. Averment:

GIVE WHAT ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN AGAINST THE GUILTY JUDGES MENTIONED IN THE BELOW MENTIONED WEB SITES & FOLLOWING ARTICLES.

2. Eventhough certain influential people in their greed have encroached government land , lakes , feeder canals , etc and built houses , business complexes enjoying lakhs of rupees rent since number of years , no action by the government of Karnataka.

3. The CPIOs of MUDA , BDA , KIADB & others are not giving information and shielding criminals.

5.No criminal prosecution against big land sharks / land encroachers and revenue department officials who aided them. No action against officials who are denying information and shielding those criminal duos.6. AKRAMA SAKRAMA scheme of government of Karnataka itself is illegal based on illegal premises. It gives a booster dose to influential criminals to commit more crimes , grab more lands , more public properties.

7. Certain Judges themselves are beneficieries of illegal housing societies & illegal allotment of discretionary quota sites. Are these bribe to judges to keep mum ?

Punish Those Who Allowed Lake Encroachment: Hegde

Former Supreme Court judge N Santosh Hegde said officers, who failed to act against encroachment of government land, are the biggest offenders and should be punished. People who have been living on such land for a long time have to be protected, the former Lokayukta told Express. Excerpts from an interview:

Do you think clearing of encroachments on lakes is justified and legal?

It is legal. The law is clear that nobody can occupy others land, including the governments. But whether it is justified... can justice be served by disturbing people who were there for 20 to 25 years having invested their money? Today, if they are to be dislodged from there, they become shelterless. On the one hand, you cant allow state lands to be occupied and on the other, equity says they had occupied it for 20 to 25 years, built houses, and have no other property. So, we have to weigh the two. The law is blind. It generally doesnt provide for equity.

What should be done?

The state cannot keep quiet. It also has to look after its people. It is a big dilemma. People who have been there for a long time need to be protected. The government can fix that time and impose a fine. In lakebeds and forest lands, it cannot just collect a fine. The government has to first decide if such occupation has an effect on the ecology or not. For example, dead lakes cannot be revived. So you cannot just keep them as monuments. If it is possible to revive, you must do it, but rehabilitate the people.

Legally, you must take the land back so that the title remains with the government. But permit them to stay as lessees or allottees in areas where revival of lakes is not possible or in case of forest encroachment. Impose a fine and regularise them. I sat in protest with H S Doreswamy and A T Ramaswamy demanding that the government take action, but we have been saying dont remove poor people.

What about the rich?

There should be no equity for rich people. Remove their illegal construction and leave it as a civic amenity.

Could it have been avoided?

It could have. Occupation of a lakebed is prohibited even by the BDA (Bangalore Development Authority). The Lake Development Authority is not allowed to be run by vested interests. Occupants offence is the least. The person who allowed him to occupy is the biggest offender. Officers who failed to act should be punished. Else, in 25 to 30 years, no private or government land will be left in the city.

The government is talking about a legislation to protect people who purchased sites from BDA. Will it be legal?

The law that prevents occupation of government land doesnt say no new law can be made where the government can give away or regularise the land. As a lawyer, I am against Akrama-Sakrama as it encourages illegal occupation. But this is different. Here, people didnt know it was a lakebed.

Would doing that now be fair to people who lost their houses?

If it is for ecological purposes, it is necessary to evict people. Allot them other land and collect some money from them. Now you are thinking of regularising BDA layouts to protect settlers. Similarly, protect the right of people wherever possible.

Is the administration soft on big builders?

There is no doubt about it. A T Ramaswamys report identified developers, building cooperative societies and estate agents. Take action. Change the law, empower it to reoccupy the illegally occupied land. A civil suit will take another 40 years.

Do you think the government did not present its case properly in court?

I dont want to comment on that. Nobody has taken concrete steps available within the law to recover lands. Everybody has been pretending to take action, but nothing has been done. This government has started demolition, but whose houses? Of people who have nothing to fall back on. They should be given some consideration.

Encroachments choking Kukkarahalli Lake

Many feeder channels encroached upon, debris dumped on them

NGO fences a stretch of Poornaiah Canal

Huge sums invested on developing the lake

Even as the monsoon is round the corner, encroachments on the channels that lead to the scenic Kukkarahalli Lake have raised doubts about rainwater flowing into the lake. Poornaiah canal, which is a key source of inflow into the lake, faces threat from encroachment.

The last mile of the Poornaiah canal towards the lake near Bisilu Maramma Temple in Gangotri Layout was fenced recently by a non-governmental organisation (NGO) working towards the education of speech and hearing impaired girls.

This stretch of the canal has been fenced and it is learnt that area has been handed over to an NGO after considering it as a civic amenities (CA) site.

Parts of the canal have been allotted to another service organisation under the CA site category.

In 1994, when the State Government took up construction of 11 housing quarters for senior government officials on the same strip, environmentalists had opposed the move citing danger posed to the lake. Sensing the gravity of the situation, the then Deputy Commissioner, Vijayabhaskar, had directed the officials to stop the work and that the foundation for these constructions is intact even today.

S.P. Thirumala Rao, president of Karnataka Consumers' Forum, said after the direction from Mr. Vijayabhaskar, work near the channel has been stopped.

But with the NGO fencing the area till the culvert on the Bogadhi Main Road, the limited source of water to the Kukkarahalli Lake will be lost.

Heavy investment

Dr. Thirumala Rao said: "The Government has been investing a huge sum on the development of the lake without assessing the water flow. Construction of a few drains or rainwater harvesting will not help the lake to regain the glory unless the original source of water through the channels was established. Without a clear idea for the development, Kukkarahalli Lake will dry up just like Jeevanrayana Katte and Doddakere, which are being used for other purposes."

The problem of encroachment of catchment area and the feeder channels running to the lake is compounded by the fact that most of the catchment lies in the residential areas of Kuvempunagar, Saraswathipuram, Gangotri Layout and Jayalakshmipuram. The biggest remaining source of fresh water for the ailing lake is the sprawling Manasagangotri campus of the University of Mysore.

Because of similar problems, some of the lakes in the city, including Jeevanrayana Katte and Doddakere dried up, and they are used as a playground or a place for exhibition.

The crisis to the Kukkarahalli Lake is not caused only because of the encroachment of residential complex or by the private agencies.

Wall built

The All India Institute of Speech and Hearing has constructed a huge wall right across the Poornaiah Canal on the other side of the Bogadhi Main Road while the Mysore City Corporation has earmarked and maintained another feeder channel as a burial ground.

Feeder channels

Buildings of Government Secondary and Higher Primary schools built under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan have come up on the feeder channels, and in another case a park is developed on a channel near Manasa Nagar.

To prevent water from gushing into their respective buildings, check walls have been built, and a majority of the feeder channels is used to dump debris, thus reducing the water flow into the lake.

Habitat for birds

The 200-year-old lake that once was a source of drinking water for the city now acts as a habitat for a large stock of birds besides acting as a huge lung space for the city.

But the increasing encroachments of the catchment area as well as the feeder channels pose danger to this lake, and the fate of other lakes may befall Kukkarahalli Lake.

Judicial Layout Site Allotment BRIBE TO JUDGES ? Throught this publication term JUDGE includes public servants performing quasi judicial functions also. Supreme Court & High Court judges are repeatedly neglecting our appeals for justice , to reign in land mafia.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 witnesseda fire tragedy in amulti-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 TownPlanning 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 officerrepeatedly threatens a commonerseeking 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 ,its 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 peoples 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 recentdelhihigh 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 ofIndia , 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.:https://sites.google.com/site/sosevoiceforjustice/chief-justice-above-law

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 didnt 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 didnt 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. Dont 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 throughoutindia 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 Yours Sincerely,Place : Mysore Nagaraja.M.R.

To,Honourable Chief Justice of India ,c/o Registrar,Supreme Court of India,New Delhi.

Honourable sir ,

Subject : -PIL Appeal To Honorable Supreme court ofIndiaFor Writ of MandamusLITMUS TEST for HONESTY of SUPREME COURT OF INDIAAKRAMA SAKRAMA / REGULARISATION OF ILLEGAL LAND ENCROACHMENTS ILLEGAL LAND CONSTRUCTIONS BUILDING BYE-LAW VIOLATIONSKIADB 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 , didnt 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 dont 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.

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.

LAND SCAMINTAMILNADUOne 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 JACOBtracks how Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi has been using his quotasILLUSTRATION:ANAND NAOREM

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 Yeddyurappas 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 bebenamitransactions, 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 expos 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, TEHELKAs investigation shows that many of the allotments in Karunanidhis 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 childrens name, can apply for GDQ allotments. TEHELKA found this is routinely violated.

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

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 didnt 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 PoliceIntelligence, got large allotments of land in prime locations. Why them more than hundreds of others? Thats a democratic question the chief minister will have to answer.

VIOLATIONSThe 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 Ganesans 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 governments 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.

FLAT NOS: 540, THIRUVANMIYUR, KAMARAJ NAGARDATE: 23 APRIL 2008SIZE: 4,756 SQ FTPRICE: Rs. 1.26 CRORECURRENT MARKET PRICE:Rs. 6 CRORE

VIOLATIONSAllotted 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 IGPs family made a profit of more than Rs. 5.7 crore.

Reactions to Land Scam 3.0

D Yashoda, Congress MLA, Kancheepuram

I have done a lot of work for Dalits throughout Tamil Nadu, especially in Sriperumbudur and Chennai. I have helped them in getting pattas for their land, recommending their names for loans from banks, distributing cycles to Dalits on the birthdays of Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi.

Jaffar Sait, IPS, IG-Intelligence

Government agencies have already probed the matter. I am being governed by the conduct rules, so I should not talk to you about the issue. It is advisable that you seek a response from the Tamil Nadu government. I would like to add that if any defamation or liability arises out of your article, necessary legal action would be taken.

P Moorthy, Madurai MLA

I dont know much about the certificate, I think I got the plot because Im an MLA. I have done a lot of work in uplifting the people in villages of my constituency. That amounts to social work. I dont need a social work certificate from the Lions Club but my friends, partners and I took the certificate anyway.

A1990batch IAS officer,C Umashankershot 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 Jayalalithaas 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.

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

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 cant 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 pr
