Kullu/Manali, May 19
After cancelling his fake agricultural certificate, Kullu Deputy Commissioner (DC) BM Nanta has served a show-cause notice on Avinash Garg, a benami land owner, who has built his plush residence near the summer residence of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee at Prini and bought four other land properties at Bahang and Solang in the uphill of Manali.
The DC has issued a show-cause notice under Section 118, HP Tenancy and Land Reforms Act, on him asking Avinash as to why his five properties should not be vested with the government.
But Avinash seemed to have gone underground after Chief Minister PK Dhumal announced an inquiry into the benami land deal that aimed at pinning the Congress down on corruption.
As per official inquiry conducted by the DC, Solan, and the DC, Kullu, Avinash and his father Amritlal were on a property hunt in Manali since 1990. In fact, Amritlal, a resident of Chota Kheda, Ropar, bought one bigha land in 1990 at Dhabota mohal in Nalagarh.
But then tehsildar had written a note on the jamabandi stating that Amritlal did not qualify for getting the agriculture certificate”.
But the benami dealer sat quiet till 1995-96 and then Avinash procured the copy of the “patvar jamabandi” wherein the original note that dismissed his claims for getting the agricultural certificate was surprisingly missing or was deleted, revealed the inquiry report.
After 17 years, Avinash managed to acquire an agricultural certificate countersigned by then tehsildar, Nalagarh, in 2007. The tehsildar finally issued the agricultural certificate on January 30, 2008, to Avinash Garg.
Avinash then used this “fake certificate” and bought five land properties measuring 2,539 sq ft of land about (3.10 bighas) in Prini, Bahang and Solang, the ski resort in the uphill from Manali subsequently, revealed the inquiry report.
It found that Avinash had built a plush residence at Prini nearby the summer residence of Vajpayee and constructed a building at Solang and running other business from Bahang near Manali.
When the benami land deal was detected from the note in the “sarkar jamabandi”, which was missing from the “patvar jamabandi”, the DC, Kullu, asked the DC, Solan, to verify the matter. The DC, Solan, in his report on July 19, 2010, cancelled the agricultural certificate issued to Avinash.
DC Kullu BM Nanta said they had issued a show-cause notice to Avinash under Section 118 and asked him to reply within 10 days as to why his five properties he had acquired by the fake agricultural certificate should not be vested with the government.
