Credentialise all documents like khata certificates, building plans with QR code for online e-verification: Karnataka High Court directs BBMP

The Hindu  

The High Court of Karnataka has directed the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike to credentialise all the documents, including khata certificates, sanctioned building plans, tax-paid receipts, etc, issued to the public by generating QR codes on such documents to enable the public and the BBMP itself to check authentication through online e-verification. The court issued the direction on noticing that the BBMP itself had questioned the genuineness of a khata certificate of a property jointly owned by the petitioner since 2013 with her parents when she had in 2021 applied for changing the khata to her name based on the registered deed through which her parents gave up their rights on the property in her favour. A strange case The court found it a strange case as the BBMP had not only claimed that it had no records of khata in its file as claimed by the petitioner but also alleged that the khata certificate produced by the petitioner was “fabricated and false” even though the digital data of self-assessment of property tax stood in the name of the petitioner and her parents. The court also directed the BBMP Chief Commissioner to take appropriate action against the assistant revenue officer of Padmanabha Nagar sub-division for misleading the court on the khata details of the petitioner.
