Lokayukta teams find it tough to differentiate between officials, touts at sub-registrar offices
The HinduSub-registrar offices in the State, which have the dubious distinction of harassing the public, were left exposed. Following complaints from the public, 10 teams of Lokayukta officials carried out inspections of sub-registrar offices in Bengaluru and other parts. During the inspection, they found touts and middlemen inside the offices and also found them allegedly collecting stamp fees, registration charges, and scanning charges that were more than specified. At several sub-registrar offices, Lokayukta officials found touts in the office cabin of sub-registrars. Therefore, stringent action is required to be initiated against such officers who have connived with touts to harass the public for extraneous considerations.” The order also pointed out lack of supervision on the part of higher-ups in the department in functioning of sub-registrar offices.
