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:

caused crores of rupees loss to the public exchequer.
5.No criminal prosecution against big land sharks / land
encroachers and revenue department officials who aided them. No

those criminal duos.6. AKRAMA SAKRAMA scheme of government of
Karnataka itself is illegal based on illegal premises. It gives a

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
