Goolihatti D. Shekhar, MLA of Hosadurga constituency, has filed a complaint with the Sanjaynagar police alleging that some persons forged the documents of a 4,000 sq.ft. ‘G’ category site allotted to him by the Karnataka government
Even properties belonging to politicians are not safe. Goolihatti D. Shekhar, MLA of Hosadurga constituency, has filed a complaint with the Sanjaynagar police alleging that a group of 10 persons forged the documents of a 4,000 sq.ft. ‘G’ category site allotted to him by the Karnataka government.
Mr. Shekhar, in his complaint, has named Byatarayanapura sub-registrar who allegedly registered the plot on the basis of the false documents.
Based on the complaint, on December 10, police registered an FIR against 10 persons charging them for cheating and forgery.
The site was allotted to the MLA in 2015 by the Karnataka government. Mr. Shekhar, who had complete records of the site allotted in RMV 2nd phase of Lotte Gollahalli, Sanjaynagar, was shocked to find that his site is now registered in the name of someone else who has started construction on the plot.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
