| SHO refuses his seal; court directs SSP to hold inquiry, lodge FIR accordingly | | Multi-crore land deal allegedly sealed by SHO | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Apr 21: Ex-SHO of Vijaypur police station, SI Ajay Singh has washed his hands off the multi-crore Seora land deal, moving the court of law and claiming that the seal and signatures put on the Rs 90 lakh receipt did not belong to him.
Early Times in its April 16, 2015 edition reported that the police officer, who then headed Vijaypur police station as its SHO, had allegedly issued a Rs 90 lakh receipt to Vinod Rishi, buyer of the plot, and put the police station seal and his signatures on it. A facsimile copy of the receipt was also published. He then moved court. He should have also pleaded for sending the receipt to FSL for the examination of his signatures and the police station seal.
Judicial Magistrate (Munsiff), Samba, has directed SSP, Samba, to hold inquiry into the matter and accordingly lodge FIR against Vinod Rishi. The court directive came in a petition filed by SI Ajay, stating therein that he had no concern with the documents regarding multi-crore deal sealed by him.
"In view of the contents of the application duly supported by the applicant and record available before me I am satisfied that a cognizable crime is alleged to have been committed and in view of the seriousness of allegations, indepth investigation is desired into the matter to ascertain the truth," the court observed.
As per the receipt, alleged to have been written by SI Ajay Singh, who was then SHO of Vijaypur police station, in his own handwriting on June 20, 2014, an amount of Rs 90 lakh was received by property dealer Surjeet Singh, son of Harminder Singh of Sehora, in the police officer's presence from Vinod Rishi, a reputed industrialist.
The receipt says that "an amount of Rs 90 lakh is received as advance from Rishi against the cost of 10 kanals of land at Sehora near a Dental College. It also says that the buyer would be paid Rs 1.80 cr in case the deal fails to take off due to any problem at the time of handing over of the possession of land to him. It has been signed by Surjeet and SI Ajay.
Sources privy to the deal said that against 10 kanals of land, the property dealer handed Rishi the "fard" (a revenue document) of only three kanals.
The fard had a legal flaw in it. Since it did not carry the land rate, which was mandatory, the court did not entertain it for the purpose of registration of land in Rishi's name. He now feels that it was part of the conspiracy hatched by the SHO-property dealer duo to deceive him.
Rishi then returned the fard to Surjeet and Ajay Singh and asked them to either return him the money or give him the proper fard.
Sources said the fard, which was handed to Rishi, was actually of some other land and not of the piece of land that had been shown to him by the property dealer.
When contacted, Samba SSP Joginder Singh said that he had received the court's orders and investigation in this regard had been taken up. |
