SDMs fail to check growth of illegal colonies
Jalandhar, December 20 This despite the fact that the bodies concerned, including the Jalandhar Development Authority (JDA) and Municipal Corporation (MC), have already submitted their lists of illegal colonies with the SDMs concerned. Jalandhar-II has the maximum number of illegal colonies. Of the total 77 unauthorised colonies falling in the subdivision, there has been a rampant growth in the areas falling near the Basti areas, Wadala, Wariana, Mand and Nahlan villages. There also has been an illegal construction around the Nagra and Reru colonies and Bulandpur road. In the JDA area of the subdivision, Jalandhar-I, there have been 74 illegal colonies. These include those around Suchipind, Pholariwal, Dakoha, Sufi Pind, Mithapur, Brring, Dhina, Ladhewali, Sansarpur and Dhilwan villages. Nakodar has 28 illegal colonies, while there are 23 unauthorised colonies in Shahkot as per the JDA report. The fact that illegal constructions are still going on is proven from the point that as many as 63 such cases have come to light since April this year. An unauthorised colony has come up in a 10 acre area at Udhowal village in Nakodar and another measuring 9 acre on the Nakodar-Mehatpur bypass. In Dhogri village falling in Jalandhar-II, a new illegal colony has come up. Fazalpur village, falling in the same subdivision, too has an illegal colony in a 7 acre land. In Jalandhar-I also, 24 illegal colonies have come up in the recent past. Court order
Passing an order in CWP No 12231 of 2011 titled Ramesh Kumar (of Sangrur) vs State of Punjab and others, the court had stated, “We are surprised that the law is so helpless. The state, however, is not so weak that if somebody is doing an illegal act the same cannot be stopped. The power to regulate also includes power to stop the irregularity being committed. “We direct that from today onwards no construction be allowed in any unauthorised colony and if raised the same shall be demolished immediately. The responsibility shall lie upon the SDM concerned of the area. If he fails to take effective steps, stern action shall be taken against the officer. “The work of vigilance shall be coordinated and regulated by the Regional Deputy Director, Local Bodies. The order shall be complied with throughout the state of Punjab. “So far as the areas where the master plan is available are concerned, the inspectors of Municipal Committees/Corporations concerned shall be responsible for keeping vigil on unauthorised colonies and will take immediate steps to stop construction and also to remove the construction which has already been raised. In the meantime, the state shall also think of making some law to stop such like illegal constructions, if it is not there”. official speak Pending reports with police
The JDA report put before the SDMs states that more than 150 cases have been kept pending with the police since long and there has been no headway. There also are a few cases where the culprits have not been traced by the police. The ADCP (Headquarters), Navjot Mahal, said any pendency on the part of the police was not in his knowledge. “I will have to check. I do not think that it should be a case,” he said. |

SDM recommends booking man, son for fraud
Jalandhar, December 20 The matter came into light when the son Manjinder Singh raised an objection over intkal number 1267 and the revenue official concerned referred the case to the court of the SDM. The complainant said he had bought a land measuring 3 kanal from his father Gurdeep Singh via a registered sale deed, number 1139, on October 1, 2012, for an amount of Rs 4.9 lakh. The revenue officials checked and found the record in the name of Gurdeep Singh as per the jamabandi. The counsel for Manjinder Singh said the land measuring 7 kanal 11 marlas had already been transferred as per a registered deed number 1084 on December 4, 2006, but he could not get its intkal done. He demanded that the intkal done by a third person be disapproved and new one be done in Manjinder Singh' name. The SDM concluded that Gurdeep Singh and his son Manjinder Singh had hatched a conspiracy with the former transferring land measuring 7 kanal and 11 marlas in the name of his son via a sale deed on December 4, 2006, and purposefully not getting its intkal done so that they could fool gullible persons and make big money. "It had also been planned by the twosome that when the third person would get the intkal done, the son would file an appeal against it, demand its rejection and get intkal back in his name so that the third person could remain embroiled in court matters for long," the SDM wrote in his order. He said he realised this when the father could not give a satisfactory reply on the matter that he had transferred the land in the name of his son. "How is it possible that the father does not know that he had transferred the property in his son's name he wrote.
