Maybe A 'Demigod In Rural Society' But 'Not A God,' MP High Court Orders FIR Against Patwari For Creating Bogus Report To Prove Title
Live LawIn a dispute pertaining to the mutation of land in favor of certain persons, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has initiated action against a Patwari in Satna District for furnishing an allegedly bogus report to enable the sons of former Chief Minister Govind Narayan Singh to establish title over a piece of land in Rampur Baghellan village. The single-judge bench of Justice Vivek Agarwal directed the Collector of Satna District to issue a show-cause notice to the concerned Patwari and initiate disciplinary action. The counsel for the petitioners also submitted that his clients were residents of Haryana and never came to Madhya Pradesh to cultivate the said piece of land measuring 6.086 Hectares. “…if the land was in the name of Shri Govind Narayan Singh and it was not a Benami transaction then, what Shri Govind Narayan Singh or his children were doing for so many years to get their names mutated in their favour or to challenge the mutation as was carried out in favour of Shri Manohar Lal Seth”, the court raised a question in return which wasn't answered satisfactorily.
