RTI Appeal to Honourable Chief Justice of India,

Honourable Chairman NHRC & Honourable Chief Secretary
Government of karnataka

Ref : RTI request no. JUSTC/R/E/20/00865

Years ago, I have filed following PIL before Honourable Supreme Court of India.
The case involves violations of Fundamental & Human rights of RTI activists
resulting in threats and murders. Hereby , I want information regarding status of
action taken by SCI, NHRC & GOK with regards to following cases.
1. Status of action taken against BEML HOUSING SOCIETY MYSURU &
BENGALURU.
2. Status of action taken against culprits responsible for murders of RTI activist
Srinath and KAS officer Mahantesh.

3. Status of action taken against illegal housing societies in karnataka.

4. Status of action taken based on our PIL.

Editorial : Refer to CBI

- BEML Housing Society Murders RTI Activists

What action has been taken against guilty office bearers of BEML Housing Society
Mysuru & Benagaluru for their crimes. What action has been taken against BDA , MUDA
and other public servants who aided these criminals in their crimes. Are the judges
BENEFICIERIES of land crimes , so keeping mum?
Now criminals have got bail. Criminals have told a story that murder was a result of non
payment of loan by RTI Srinath. Where are the documents for payment of loan amount
by lender to RTI Srinath. First Police must take the RTI applications made by Srinath to
MUDA & other authorities. Based on those documents , they can decipher who are the
criminals , officials who stand to get exposed by those information. Those persons must
be interrogated.
Many private land developers , Housing Societies have grossly flouted laws in acquiring
lands , allotment of sites , development of layout , civic amenities and private developers
have pocketed crores of rupees ill gotten money. MUDA is empowered by law to
confiscate those layouts and to send those criminal developers behind bars. To cover up
the crimes of those criminal land developers , MUDA is planning to take over those
illegal layouts and in due course will use tax payers money for civic amenities ,
developments in those layouts. Profit is pocketed by private developer whereas tax
payer is made to pay for his crimes.
Before taking those illegal layouts , MUDA must first publicize the list of illegal layouts in
& around mysuru along with the name of it's developer. What action taken by MUDA
against the land developer for his violations and what action taken against the
concerned jurisdiction MUDA engineer / official who failed in his duties. Just see the
huge bungalows , properties owned by an Assistant MUDA Engineer , what will be the
quantum with others , that too higher MUDA officials ? Secondly MUDA must publicize
the list of properties owned by all MUDA officials & Members including the properties in
the name of their family members , on a sworn affidavit . Corrupt MUDA officials directly
proportional to Illegal Layouts.
Land Mafia is very strong , years ago when i persisted with my RTI application to MUDA
& Mysuru DC i have received threats and Mysuru DC at that time P. Manivannan
threatened me. But DC didn't give me full RTI reply nor did he stall the illegal
constructions. He just had a FAKE facade of "Demolish Man".
As office bearers & members of BEML Housing Society are government of india
employees and state authorities , police are not properly investigating the crimes , ideally
Central Bureau of Investigations ( CBI ) must take over the case under suprme court
monitoring. Ensure justice to RTI Srinath.
RIP Srinath
Your's ,
Nagaraja Mysuru Raghupathi.

....Petitioner
Versus
Honourable Chief Secretary , Government of Karnataka & Others
....Respondents
PETITION UNDER ARTICLE 12 to ARTICLE 35 & ARTICLE 51A OF THE
CONSTITUTION OF INDIA FOR ISSUANCE OF A WRIT IN THE NATURE OF
MANDAMUS UNDER ARTICLE 32 & ARTICLE 226 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF
INDIA.
To ,
Hon'ble The Chief Justice of India and His Lordship's Companion
Justices of the Supreme Court of India. The Humble petition of the
Petitioner above named.
MOST RESPECTFULLY SHOWETH :
1. Facts of the case:
"Power will go to the hands of rascals, , rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will
be of low calibre and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They
will fight among themselves for
power and will be lost in political squabbles . A day would come when even air & water
will be taxed." Sir Winston made this statement in the House of Commons just before
the independence of India & Pakistan. Sadly , the forewarning of Late Winston Churchill
has been proved right by some of our criminal , corrupt public servants.
2. Eventhough , I have repeatedly appealed to government of karnataka authorities ,
MUDA , BDA , KIADB , MCC , BBMNP , etc seeking information regarding illegal
buildings , land encroachments specifically in mysore & bangalore , they didn’t provide
me information. Now one land scam after another are tumbling out.
3. I have given certain details to authorities including judiciary , SCI regarding land , lake
encroachments in mysore when encroachment was at preliminary stage. The authories
could have stopped it , but they didn,t. Now , the hinkal lake , hebbal lake , hootagalli
lake & BEML Quarters lake have been encroached to maximum extent and criminals
have made crores of rupees profit.
4. Government authorities has not given title deeds to tribals living in forest since
centuries , government authorities has not given title deeds to landless people , dalits
who are cultivating on government land since decades.
5. Government authorities , police immediately evict , take suo motto action when a poor
family , nomadic family just erects a hutment on government land. The same public
servants , police don’t take action when a rich crook palatial bungalow , business
complex on government land , lake bed. Cann’t they see it. , they can but are hands in
glove with looters.
6. even some of the judges don’t take action when appeal for justice is made to them , to
evict encroachers , to stop encroachment. It may be quid pro quo arrangement with
crooks. See how many judges have benefitted from government discretionary quota
allotment of sites , illegal judicial layout , etc.
7. The land encroachers are not poor people below poverty line , they don’t even have
ability to build a pucca house. Encroachers are rich crooks , greedy individuals with
political connection. So they don’t deserve compassion.
8. Now , government of karnataka is trying to legalise illegalities in buildings , land
encroachments , which gives a booster dose to criminals to commit more crimes.
9. As per equitable law if present land encroachments are legalized , in future too
government must legalize future land encroachments when ever it takes place.
10. Prior to enactment of AKRAMA SAKRAMA SCHEME of government of karnataka
legalizing illegal constructions , land encroachments, MUDA , BDA , MCC , KIADB
officials evicted , demolished buildings of encroachers who didn’t cough up bribes. The
one who paid bribes , their encroachments , illegal buildings survived and now getting
legalized by government.
11. Now , as per equity who ever have been evicted from encroachments , who’s illegal
buildings demolished must get compensation from government. If not all encroachers
must be evicted & illegal buildings must be demolished.
12. Now Karnataka High Court has given green signal to “AKRAMA SAKRAMA” scheme
of government of Karnataka , therby HC Judges are favoring land mafia , criminals.
13. It is the duty of the government , Police & Court to give protection to journalists ,
whistle blowers , RTI Activists who are unearthing truths , crimes. But all of them have
failed in their duties to protect RTI Activist Mr.Srinath of Mysuru who was brutally
murdered.
14. Recently Karnataka high court gave clearance to Karnataka government’s
regularization of illegal buildings ( AKRAMA SAKRAMA ) scheme.
a. Law is one & same for all.
b. Government authorities , police razes down , demolishes small temporary hutments
built by tribals , dalits without mercy , takes suo motto action. No court comes to their
rescue.
c. Till date bagar hukum lands are not given to dalits , tribals are not given land rights
over their huts in forests. Is Cout blind , deaf ?
d. However when rich crooks build bungalows , commercial complexes illegally , no suo
motto action taken by government authorizes , police , why ? Courts go a step further it
gives stay orders against demolition of rich crook’s illegal buildings , asks government to
modify plan , law itself to save illegal buildings of rich crooks.
e. Does Karnataka HC has details of exact number of building violations , buildings built
on forest lands , lake beds , raja kaluves with respective after affects on neighbouring
buildings , road traffic , ecology , etc and contingency plan by authorities to overcome
those after affects casewise backed by technical studies. Make it public.
f. What criminal action initiated against revenue , police & other officials who failed in
their duties at the first instance to stop the illegal building construction.
g. Small houses of poor people who have smaller building violations but who failed to
bribe officials were dealt mercilessly. Their houses were razed down . Now , will the HC
order the government to compensate them , to rebuild houses for them as the court is
now saying they are legal now.
h. Government & HC has given a cut off date for consideration of regularization of illegal
buildings. When a crime before that cut off date becomes legal , why cann’t it be legal
after that date ?
i. What guarantee HC gives no illegal buildings has come up after cut off date and will
never come in future ?
j. If comes what criminal action against the concerned officials ?
Bottomline : Judges open your eyes , listen , think & then act.
2. Question(s) of Law:
Is robbing another’s property right , legal ? is robbing land , lake – a public property for
private , individual use right ?
Is it NOT the duty of Police , Court & Government to protect Rights , Lives of Journalists
, Whistle Blowers , RTI Activists and their family ?
Why they failed to protect the life of Mysuru RTI Activist Mr. Srinath ?
3. Grounds:
Requests for equitable justice , Prosecution of master minds of land grabbing ,frauds
and related crimes.
4. Averment:
Covering up Land Frauds & Land Mafia . Please read details at :

The Petitioner has sent many letters / appeals / petitions to supreme court of india &
other courts through e-mail , DARPG website & through regular mail requesting them to

BEML housing society now in Rs. 500-cr. land scam

Office-bearers of the BEML Employees’ Housing Cooperative Society, who were

at the centre of a recent controversy over irregular plot allotments, appear to be
involved in another Rs. 500-crore land scam.
In what has been a season of land scams, this one stands out for the ingenuity with
which the system was once again exploited by the society’s president J.
Munnagappa and the former vice-president H.S. Kumar.

They posed as farmers and claimed that they lost 100 acres of land during the
formation of the Arkavathy Layout by the Bangalore Development Authority, and
received compensatory plots in the layout that are estimated to be worth Rs. 500
crore. The compensatory residential plots allotted to them are situated in the
vicinity of the Bengaluru International Airport.

On their part, officials of the BDA failed to scrutinise Mr. Kumar and Mr.
Munnagappa’s claims, although they could have done it by checking the records of
the land for which the claims for compensation were raised. The BEML officials
“invested” only Rs. 20 crore to secure the illegal compensation from the BDA.
How they pulled it off
Documents provided to The Hindu by the former Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara
Palike (BBMP) councillor K.N. Chakrapani show the way Mr. Kumar and Mr.
Munnagappa staked their claims for compensation.
On February 23, 2004, the BDA issued final notification for 100 acres in Hennur,
Gedlahalli, Tannisandra and Byrathi Khane villages.

Soon after the final notification orders were issued, Mr. Munnagappa and Mr.
Kumar purchased land from the farmers in violation of Sections 3 and 4 of The
Karnataka Land (Restriction on Transfer) Act, 1991, which stipulate that nobody
shall sell, mortgage, gift or lease land that has been acquired or notified for
acquisition by the government.

Documents of transfer between the original landholders and the two society
officials show that the operation was conducted between March 2004 and April
2005, and cost Mr. Kumar and Mr. Munnagappa Rs. 20 crore.
Seven-year hiatus
After lying low for nearly seven years, they raised a claim for compensation before
the BDA posing as farmers and land losers. For each acre of the 100 acres that they
purchased illegally, the BDA gave them plots adding up to 9,583 sq ft.

One such allotment deed registered on April 17, 2012 states that Mr. Munnagappa
is a land loser and is being compensated as per the land-in-exchange-for-land
 policy. (This policy was instituted to make land losers stakeholders in
development.)

The land allotted to the two society officials as compensation by the BDA is
valued at Rs. 500 crore, at Rs. 5,000 per sq ft. On the other hand, the real land
owners got only between Rs. 10 lakh and Rs. 12 lakh per acre from Mr. Kumar and
Mr. Munnagappa.
Rs. 100 as stamp duty
What is more, Mr. Munnagappa and Mr. Kumar benefited from the former Chief
Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa’s “pro-farmer” policy, under which they were
exempted from playing the full stamp duty for the land given as compensation. The
allotment deeds show that they paid only Rs. 100 as stamp duty per plot.
Asked to respond, Mr. Kumar initially said that he was acting on the orders of his
superiors at BEML. Mr. Munnagappa refused to react.

BDA Commissioner Pradeep Singh Kharola did not respond to repeated phone
calls and text messages seeking an explanation.

Terming the scam “daylight robbery”, Mr. Chakrapani has demanded that the State
government order a judicial inquiry into the alleged illegalities in the Arkavathy
Layout project.

Whistleblower pays with life

He had tracked irregular land allotments by BEML Coop. Society, among

others
Five days after a murderous attack by unknown assailants in the heart of Bangalore,
S.P. Mahantesh, 48, an auditor and whistleblower on irregular land allotments in the
State, died of his injuries.
Doctors at the private hospital where he was treated said his heart stopped beating at
5.30 a.m. on Sunday.

Mahantesh is survived by his wife, two children and ailing parents.

Known as an honest officer in a department plagued by allegations of corruption and
land scams, Mahantesh, a Karnataka Administrative Service officer and Deputy
Director of Cooperative Audit, was a crucial source for some of the stories that The
Hindu published in recent months on irregularities in housing societies.

Less than a fortnight ago, he facilitated (for The Hindu) the release of a copy of the
audit report of the controversial BEML Employees' Cooperative Society, which is
accused of making improper land allotments to several influential persons.

Gowda’s assurance
Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda, who visited the grieving family members,
assured them that the culprits would be arrested soon. He did not, however, announce
any compensation.
Mahantesh's death comes as a setback to the police who have been struggling for a
breakthrough for the want of an eyewitness. “Had it been possible to revive him, he
could have given us vital clues,” DCP (Central Division) B.R. Ravikanthe Gowda
told reporters.

Two more teams

He said two more special teams had been formed to solve the case, besides the two
teams that had been formed earlier. “We are working from multiple angles at the
moment. Things are open ended.”

In fact, on the night of May 15 when he was attacked, Mahantesh was returning after
an audit-related meeting with the office-bearers of the Sahakarnagar Credit
Cooperative Society, his colleagues revealed.

“He was not auditing any high-profile society. The irregularities in these societies
were not of such a nature or scale as to motivate somebody to kill him,” Mr.
Ravikanthe Gowda said.

Mahantesh's brother-in-law, Nagarudrappa, expressed outrage at some media reports

that had quoted anonymous police sources as saying the attack was motivated by
personal enmity. “We are convinced that he was attacked for the good work he was
doing.”
