Cuttack: Validating land fraud, the Orissa High Court has directed the state government to take all possible steps to restore compensation given to the prosecutor while obtaining around 112 hectares in Bidyadharpur on the outskirts of the city.
HC issued a direction on Wednesday after finding that the state government had paid compensation by acquiring the land itself.
Two judges from Justice Chair S Muralidhar and Justice B P Rouult observes, “This is a fraud that not only against the country but against the people.” The bench further observes, “There is a service in the opposition of the Government Advocates Additional Subir Palit, which emerged on behalf of the country, that in this case it appeared to have become a massive fraud done in several people, perhaps even authorities, even more years in years facing the fact that the question that is questioned has been established among countries under the Law Orissa Estates Abolition (OEA), 1951.
“The land was obtained for the Triangular Bidanasi Housing Project under the Cuttack Development Authority in accordance with the notification in 1983.
112 hectares were given to State government based on notifications issued under the OEA Law, 1951 on April 27, 1963.
It is a country that later becomes landowners.
However, then, a person based on the income record created in his name has projected himself as landowners and has sold 112 hectares to different people.
While the person died, land changed hands in sales and purchasing transactions for years.
As a result, the last people bought land claiming compensation when the land acquisition process was carried out in 1983.
Some disputes related to the court and other court.
They reached HC in 2002 compared to the state’s archiving of the state associated with land acquisition.
A delayed pill since 1996 was also taken, along with appeal, in the same year.
But legal questions that must be determined in the petition are framed after 19 years on April 27, 2021.
In a 40-page verdict, the bench decided, “All land sales were questioned after notification on April 27, 1963, Land Procurement Award (LA) and The appropriate order in the reference below part 18 of La Act is declared null and void, and all the execution processes arising from there with this are declared closed.
