A sincere thanks to those of you who supported and shared my petition for justice. It has been a couple of years since I started the petition drive. and I am proud to say that I have finally received a favourable order from Bengaluru Deputy Commissioner.
A bit of background and context:
Krishnamurthy, a retired Indian military officer and war veteran acquired the title to a 20 Gunta (half-acre) land in Vaderahalli village in North Bengaluru in 1995. The registration had been pending for nearly 25 years for some technical reason that officials haven't been able to explain.
I took the matter to Karnataka High Court in 2017 and 2023:
• WP 46964/2017
• WA 6697/2017
• WP 6929/2023
The honorable #HighCourt passed a judgement directing the office of #Bangaluru Deputy Commissioner (DC) to review and adjudicate the matter.
It hasn't been an easy journey thus far. 5-6 years of repeated legal battles and knocking on the doors of the High Court.
As the officials of Bangalore Deputy Commissioner’s office delayed action on this latest order, my lawyer filed a Contempt of Court in Karnataka High Court (CCC 734/2023) on 25-07-2023.
The officials of Bangalore Deputy Commissioner’s finally passed an order on 04 Aug 2023 that was mailed to me last week.
By taking the matter to court, I was able to avoid a substantial “fee” (bribe) that was demanded by agents.
Again, a sincere thanks to those of you who supported and shared my petition and to members of media who took up my story.
Jai Hind!
