Thanks to 14,344+ supporters of my petition. I have been updating you of my quest to have the land registration paperwork legally completed. I wish to do it without having to resort to bribes or other 'inducements.'

In this context, I am perplexed by the recent statement by Karnataka's Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who was quoted pointing out that Assistant Commissioners have quasi-judicial powers “It’s an organised nexus. Powers are misused under external influence and inducements” . 

According to the article in Deccan Herald, Mr. Bommai had to intervene in the legislature after MLAs went after Revenue Minister R Ashoka for saying he cannot act against assistant commissioners as they come under the DPAR.

This passing-the-buck by officials and legislators also makes me reflect on my campaign: I will continue to look for honest officials I can reach out to without offering "external influence and inducements?"
