No defence personnel has been found involved in Pune land case. Suitable action has been taken against Army personnel found involved in the Sukna land case. It has been decided to resume Audit of defence lands which among others shall cover encroachments also.
The details of Adarsh Housing Society scam, Kandivili land scam, Pune land scam and Sukna land scam are as under :
1. Adarsh Co-operative Housing Society Case:
Adarsh Co-operative Housing Society (ACHS) has constructed a multi-storied building on a land measuring approximately 3837.57 sq. mtrs, at Block VI, Colaba, Mumbai. ACHS had sought allotment of land from Government of Maharashtra for the welfare of serving and retired personnel of defence services. Prima facie, there have been irregularities and issues of concern in this regard include issue of 'NOC by the Army to inter alia alienate the land in its possession in favour of ACHS; by¬passing Coastal Land Regulation Zone clearance; inclusion of civilians in the membership of the society; change of Floor Space Index; deviation from the commitments made for the welfare of defence services; disregard to security concerns of defence services etc. The Government has entrusted enquiry to CBI with a view to getting the matter thoroughly investigated and fix responsibilities.
2. Kandivili land case:
As reported by Director General of Defence Estates, 13.28 acres of State Government land in village Akurli was held on hire by Army since long. In 2007, Collector, Mumbai Suburban District, allotted 5166.50 Sq Mtrs of land adjacent to Central Ordnance Depot (COD) to M/s Neo Pharma Ltd. after receiving its market value. This was objected to by COD and Defence Estates Officer (DEO) on the grounds that this formed part of Defence land on hire. Collector was also informed that COD will not permit any agency to take possession of Defence Land without approval of Ministry of Defence. However, their objections were overruled by the Collector. COD persisted with its objections and resisted handing over possession of the said land. Subsequently, at the direction of Headquarters, Southern Command, all obstacles were removed and Neo Pharma was permitted to go ahead with the planned development of the Plot.
Head Quarters Southern Command has sought that the matter be investigated at appropriate level. Army Headquarters (AHQ) recommended that the case be investigated by the CBI. After considering the matter, Government has asked AHQ to ascertain either by holding a Court of Inquiry or otherwise as to how Head Quarters Southern Command relinquished claim on the said land. The case has been investigated by a Court of Inquiry by Head Quarters Southern Command. The Court of Inquiry has been completed and case has been handed over to CBI on 30th November 2011.
3. Pune Land case:
In March 2008 sanction was issued for transferring an area admeasuring 4498.56 sq. mtr. lo the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC). When sanction was issued, it came to notice that while the subject land was entered in Revenue Records as 'Military Line Kade’, it was not entered in the Military Lands Register of the Defence Estates Officer, Pune. There were some claimant(s) and the State Government authorities changed entry' in the Revenue records. The matter was therefore referred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The case is under investigation
Corrective action has been taken and "Military Line Kade" has been restored in the Revenue records, the land has also been entered in the Military Lands Register.
4. .Sukna land case:
Sukna Land case pertains to land in Chumta Tea Estate neighbouring defence land and not defence land. This is a case of incorrect issue of No Objection Certificate (NOC) by HQ 33 Corps. A Court of Inquiry was ordered by HQ Eastern Command to investigate the circumstances under which No Objection Certificate was allowed to be given and MoU agreed by HQ 33 Corps for land in Chumta Tea Estate. The Court of Inquiry has been finalized and suitable action taken against erring officials.

ReplyDeleteMr. Amardeep Jaiswal, an employee of M/s. LANCO, Gurgaon & others cheated, Cantonment Board, by providing fake details, regarding Late Kamla Kumari’s death, & not submitting Death Certificate issued by SGPIMS, Lucknow to them. Cantt. Board, Allahabad issued to Amardeep Jaiswal & others a fake Death Certificate, without probing the truth, & closed their eyes deliberately, for pecuniary benefits. In the Death Certificate they should have stated the place of death as Lucknow & not Allahabad & the truth is that she was in a highly precarious state & was in coma since a few days & died on 3/2/96, at 1.30 pm at the SGPGIMS, Lucknow, as per its Death Certificate re-issued on 30/06/2000. Forged Death Certificate issued by Cantt. Board, Allahabad, is being misused for fraudulent land deals, for substitution of names in place of late K.K. Jaiswal, for transfer of lease renewal deed & mutation, for 2 & 3, Cassels Road, New Cantt., Allahabad & must be cancelled at once. Action should be taken against them for cheating Cantt. Board. Thereafter they started grabbing Army Land illegally & for these irregularities, Cantt. Board / D.E.O., Allahabad are fully responsible.
