BBMP to Regular Enrollment; Punishment for illegality of A Khata
Kere Manjunath ಕೆರೆ ಮಂಜುನಾಥ್
BENGALURU: A preliminary investigation by the 'Scrutiny Committee' has revealed that 'A' Khatas have been issued despite not being eligible under BBMP, and it is estimated that around one lakh 'A' Khatas may have been illegally registered in 243 wards.
Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath has formed a 'Scrutiny Committee' to review all the accounts in the wake of complaints that 'A' Khatas were made illegally in the city. Thousands of irregularities were discovered in the initial investigation of this committee.
In order to Khata for a property under BBMP coverage, certain fees and documents are required including development fee. But without considering this the Assistant Revenue Officers (ARO) entered the property information in 'A' register. But the fees have not been paid to the corporation.
It is known that the new properties have been entered in the register as sub-numbers among the properties previously entered in the 'A' Khata. For example, if 31 and 32 are Khata entries of different assets, then a new Khata is made as 31/1 in between. It is meant to be treated as an old registration. Only 3 or 4 property information is recorded on one page of the register. However, on some pages, a different property has been entered as a sub-number using the space between.
In some 'A' registers only the owner's name, Khata number is entered and no order is given as per clause. Further, if a person's name is entered in multiple pages of the same register, an 'A' Khata is given. All these have sub-no. Sources said that more irregularities will come to light if the registers are thoroughly scrutinized.
Cancellation of Illegal A Khata
Illegality of 'A' Khatas is being checked. If there is no document as per our rules including land conversion and development fee, the 'A' Khata of such property will be cancelled," said Jayaram Raipur, chairman of the 'Scrutiny Committee'.
In 15 days, the process of verifying all the documents will be completed. Later, how many illegal Khatas there are will be revealed.
800 illegal in Anjanpur division!
Anjanapur sub-division of Bommanahalli zone of BBMP covers less properties. More than 800 Khatas have been illegally registered in the 'A' register in the two wards here, it has emerged from the preliminary investigation of the 'Scrutiny Committee'. All of them are being seized and examined by the BBMP committee. It was earlier estimated to be illegal only in the new five zones. But since there are complaints everywhere, the committee has decided to conduct inspection in all 243 wards.
One week deadline: Jairam Raipur
The Assistant Revenue Officers (AROs) of all divisions should provide the information about illegal 'A' Khatas under BBMP within a week. They have all kinds of information. If they don't provide information, criminal cases will be registered against the respective AROs when the investigation is carried out by the committee,' said Jairam Raipur, Special Commissioner of Finance, who is the chairman of the 'Scrutiny Committee'.
