Specify nature of land in two weeks: High Court
Chandigarh, May 1 As the case hovering around the acquisition of properties by the high-ups in Nayagaon and its vicinity came up for hearing before Acting Chief Justice MM Kumar and Justice Alok Singh, Punjab sought four months’ additional time for coming out with a reply on various issues. These include the state government’s response to the setting up of a one-member commission of inquiry headed by a retired high court judge to probe the illegal occupation of village common land. Its request, however, failed to find favour with the Bench; and it was made clear to the government that the Chief Secretary would have to put in an appearance in case of non-furnishing of reply. The Bench, on a previous date of hearing, had made clear its opinion that only a commission could probe the matter independently. But before passing an order, the Bench had asked the state government to respond to the query why a commission should not be constituted. The matter was brought to the high court's notice by Nayagaon resident Kuldip Singh. Accusing a senior police functionary in a land-grab bid in Nayagaon, he had sought protection, while praying for registration of an FIR and a CBI probe into the dealings. The inquiry was entrusted to the ADGP, after Justice Ranjit Singh of the High Court took cognizance of the matter. Justice Ranjit Singh had asked the ADGP to lay emphasis on the area comprising Nayagaon, Zirakpur, Mohali, Kansal and Koraran area. The Judge had added: "It would also need investigation to see as to what is the source of acquisition". During the hearing, Punjab Chief Secretary Rakesh Singh had affirmed: “As per an affidavit dated November 29, last year, filed by his predecessor, it was submitted that in case of 60 officers - serving or retired - who had land in Chandigarh’s periphery, information was not clear as per the investigating officer’s report. “Consequently, the investigating officer was asked to further probe the matter and report within a month. Finally, the information officer, vide letter dated January 6 submitted that as per the information collected by the them and as per the revenue record available, no public land was under illegal occupation of these 60 high-ups”.
