Supreme Court cancels plot No. CA 222. block of Salt Lake allotment to Sourav Ganguly by West Bengal Government
Supreme Court cancels plot No. CA 222. block of Salt Lake
allotment to Sourav Ganguly by West Bengal Government
The Supreme Court on Thursday cancelled or quashed the allotment of 63 katha land to former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly in Kolkata.
A bench headed by Justice A K Ganguly directed Sourav Ganguly to surrender the land within two weeks
Here is the complete case how Sourav Ganguly got land in the BF block of Salt Lake City and then he got another land and finally he lost the salt lake city plot.
November 2006 –
Left government in West Bengal issued an advertisement that it wanted to give out around 50 'cottah' (a little less than an acre) of land in the posh satellite township of BF block of Salt Lake city for setting up a school.
Twenty applicants applied for the plot including Sourav Ganguly.
Sourav Ganguly got the plot for setting up the ICSE School.
Ashok Bhattacharya, then minister of urban development, told IANS that a committee led by the chief secretary then went through the applications and selected him.
But a Delhi-based educational council said its rules stipulated at least one acre has to be earmarked for an affiliated school.
Sourav Ganguly reportedly approached the state urban development minister Ashok Bhattacharya to allot him a bigger plot in CA block.
Then Sourav Ganguly was asked to surrender the lease for the BF block plot.
February 2008 –
Sourav Ganguly was given around-63 cottah (a little more than one acre) plot No. CA 222. block of Salt Lake.
While giving second new Plot to the Sourav Gangly WB government did not put out any advertisement.
Then Sourav Ganguly formed a Ganguly Education and Welfare Society to start work on the Wissen International School.
But plot NO.CA 222 block of salt lake was earmarked or reserved for the Collage.
There were two schools on two sides of the plot. While one of them had 1,400 students on its rolls, the other had 1,100.
There are two schools in the neighborhood (Hariyana Vidya Mandir and Salt Lake School) already, leading to traffic congestion.
Thus local residents objected to this procedure adopted and change and protests were started.
There were street corner meetings, conventions and even hunger strikes.
eminent painter Subhaprasanna told IANS that there was no need for any other school in the area and Moreover, Ganguly was given the plot at a very low rate. I think the present value of the plot would be around Rs.15 Crore
October 2009 –
an NGO Humanity, CA Block Citizens’ Association and two other organizations filed a Public Interest Litigation in the Calcutta High Court against the then Left Front government's procedure for allotment of the plot to Ganguly.
The petitioner contends that the land was handed over illegally. It was meant for a college not a school. It was allotted without any advertisement being published and violated the Urban Land Ceiling Act.
The petition was dismissed both by a single judge and the division bench of the high court.
The division bench had directed Ganguly to pay Rs.43.75 lakh for the land. He had earlier paid Rs.20 lakh as advance when the first plot was given to him.
The NGO had submitted that the state government violated all norms and procedures while allotting the prime land to the Sourav Ganguly.
16 September 2010 –
After that NGO challenged the order of High Court and filed appeal in the Supreme Court Then Supreme Court issued notice to State Government on September 16, 2010.
Supreme Court also took undertaking from Souravs advocate that no construction activities will be done by him on the disputed land and status quo would be maintained till further order.
May 26, 2011 –
After hearing the case Supreme Court cancelled the land allotment also directed the government to refund the money paid by Ganguly for the land.
a bench headed by Justice A K Ganguly directed Sourav Ganguly to surrender the land within two weeks and cancelled lease.

Government can not acquire land for Private Parties on the name of Urgency and deprive a person of his land in an arbitrary manner Supreme Court
Government can not acquire land for Private Parties on the

Government cannot deprive a person of his land in an arbitrary manner. Supreme Court says Right to Property is a Constitutional Right
Government can not acquire land for Private Parties on the name of Urgency and deprive a person of his land in an arbitrary manner Supreme Court
In March 2008 State government of Utter Pradesh acquired 205 hectares of agricultural land in Uttar Pradesh's Gautam Budh Nagar on behalf of the Greater NOIDA Industrial Development Authority for business entrepreneurs
The land owners Radhy Shyam and others had challenged the acquisition on the ground that the government invoked Section Section 17(1) and 17(4) of the Land Acquisition Act empowering it to dispense with the process of inviting objections from the victims as mandated under Section 5A of the legislation.
The high court had dismissed the land owners' plea, after which they appealed in the Supreme Court.
Supreme Court of India said that if land is acquired for the benefit of private persons, the court should view the invoking of Section 17(1) and/or 17(4) with suspicion and carefully scrutinize the relevant record before adjudicating upon the legality of such acquisition.
The court also said that "In our view, the above noted factors do not furnish legally acceptable justification for the exercise of power by the state government under Section 17(1) because the acquisition is primarily meant to cater private interest in the name of industrial development of the district,"
A Supreme Court Bench of justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly said in a judgement that courts should view with "suspicion" the action of the government in acquiring land for private parties in the name of urgency.
"Court should not adopt a pedantic approach, as has been done in the present case, and decide the matter keeping in view the constitutional goals of social and economic justice and the fact that even though the right to property is no longer a fundamental right, the same continues to be an important constitutional right and in terms of Article 300-A, no person can be deprived of his property except by authority of law," Justice Singhvi, writing the judgement, said.
Bench also said that on account of largescale acquisition of private agricultural land, those engaged in agricultural operations and other ancillary activities in rural areas have been deprived of the only source of their livelihood.
"A majority of them do not have any idea about their constitutional and legal rights, which can be enforced by availing the constitutional remedies.
They reconcile with deprivation of land by accepting the amount of compensation offered by the government and by thinking that it is their fate and destiny determined by God."
The Supreme Court passed the judgement while quashing the acquisition of 205 hectares of agricultural land in Uttar Pradesh's Gautam Budh Nagar by the state on behalf of the Greater NOIDA Industrial Development Authority for business entrepreneurs in March 2008.
Supreme Court Bench also added that the property of a citizen cannot be acquired by the state and/or its agencies/instrumentalities without complying with the mandate of Sections 4, 5-A and 6 of the Act.

Lanco Infratech and Larsen & Toubro Evaded Rs.710 Crore
Service Tax – CAG Expose
The comptroller and auditor general (CAG) of India has in its performance audit of service tax on construction services for 2008-09 found evasion at Rs710.24 crore.
The CAG has named Lanco Infratech and Larsen & Toubro for not discharging service tax liability worth Rs62.61 crore and Rs272.66 crore, respectively, received between July 2007 and March 2008 for canal irrigation contracts, treating the projects exempted.
Now CAG has recommended setting up mechanisms for monitoring receipt and scrutiny of returns.
According to the Finance Act 1994, service tax is leviable for construction of residential complexes comprising a building having more than 12 units.
“The condition that service tax is payable only when the construction involves more than 12 residential units helps to small housing construction projects, these projects remain outside the tax net.
This loophole is used by construction companies and they build less than 12 residential units thus they get exempted from paying taxes.
CAG has recommended that the single criterion of 12 units is not enough and other criterion such as selling price or plinth area should be specified so that the expensive constructions come under net

The comptroller and auditor general (CAG) of India has in its performance audit of service tax on construction services for 2008-09 found evasion at Rs710.24 crore.
The CAG has named Lanco Infratech and Larsen & Toubro for not discharging service tax liability worth Rs62.61 crore and Rs272.66 crore, respectively, received between July 2007 and March 2008 for canal irrigation contracts, treating the projects exempted.
Now CAG has recommended setting up mechanisms for monitoring receipt and scrutiny of returns.
According to the Finance Act 1994, service tax is leviable for construction of residential complexes comprising a building having more than 12 units.
“The condition that service tax is payable only when the construction involves more than 12 residential units helps to small housing construction projects, these projects remain outside the tax net.
This loophole is used by construction companies and they build less than 12 residential units thus they get exempted from paying taxes.
CAG has recommended that the single criterion of 12 units is not enough and other criterion such as selling price or plinth area should be specified so that the expensive constructions come under net

Gang Rape Criminals Get Freedom – Crime of Rape compromised Supreme Court of India agrees rapist can pay to victim for freedom
Gang Rape Criminals Get Freedom – Crime of Rape compromised
Supreme Court of India agrees rapist can pay to victim for freedom
Please remember Offence of Rape is not compoundable.
What is the meaning of compoundable offence or crime?
Compounding in simple terms understand it means compromise.
The compounding of the offence signifies that the person against whom the offence has
Been committed has received some gratification, to act as an inducement for his desiring to abstain from a prosecution.
A criminal offence is regarded as a crime against the state, and the victim or the complainant has no right to withdraw the complaint.
But certain offences which are not of serious nature are allowed to be compounded.
Compounding has same effect as acquittal from the charges.
Suresh Baboo V/s State of U.P. 1947 (2) JT (SC) 361 in which permission to compound in non-compoundable offence was granted.
Nowadays 498A is also declared as compoundable by SC
Criminal Procedure Code –
Section 320 - Compounding of offences.
The offences punishable under the sections of the Indian Penal Code (45 of 1860) specified in
The first two columns of the Table next following may be compounded by the persons mentioned in the third column of that Table.
(2) The offences punishable under the sections of the Indian Penal Code (45 of 1860) specified in
The first two columns of the table next following may, with the permission of the Court before
Which any prosecution for such offence is pending, be compounded by the persons mentioned in
The third column of that table:—
(3) When any offence is compoundable under this section, the abetment of such offence or an
Attempt to commit such offence (when such attempt is itself an offence) may be compounded in
Like manner.
(4)(a) When the person who would otherwise be competent to compound an offence under this
Section is under the age of eighteen years or is an idiot or a lunatic, any person competent to
Contract on his behalf, may, with the permission of the Court compound such offence.
(b) When the person who would otherwise be competent to compound an offence under this
Section is dead, the legal representative, as defined in the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (5 of
1908) of such person may, with the consent of the Court compound such offence.
(5) When the accused has been committed for trial or when he has been convicted and an appeal
Is pending no composition for the offence shall be allowed without the leave of the Court to
Which he is committed, or, as the case may be, before which the appeal is to be heard.
(6) A High Court or Court of Session acting in the exercise of its powers of revision under
Section 401 may allow any person to compound any offence which such person is competent to
Compound under this section.
(7) No offence shall be compounded if the accused is, by reason of a previous conviction, liable
Either to enhanced punishment or to a punishment of a different kind for such offence.
(8) The composition of an offence under this section shall have the effect of an acquittal of the
Accused with whom the offence has been compounded.
(9) No offence shall be compounded except as provided by this section.
On March 5, 1997 the convicts Baldev Singh, Gurmail Singh and Hardeep Singh
Gang raped the victim in Punjab's Ludhiana district.
After that the session’s court had awarded 10 years imprisonment to the convicts.
Under Section 376(G) of the IPC, the minimum sentence to the gang rapists is 10 years, which may extend even to life imprisonment.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court had dismissed the convicts' appeal, following which they appealed in the Supreme Court.
After this the 3 rapist appealed in the Supreme Court of India.
This is not new Supreme Court of India has in past also allowed to compound the offences which were not mentioned in the list of offences.
But this is a Gang rape, rape how can it be compounded?
A bench of justices Markandeya Katju and Gyan Sudha Mishra reduced to three and half years the 10-year sentence awarded to three gang rapists who took the plea that both the convicts and the victim were now happily married to different people and "wanted to live peacefully."
Supreme Court agreed to let them off provided the convicts paid Rs 50,000 each to the victim.
Supreme Court ordered that "the amount shall be paid to the victim within three months", failing which the same shall be recovered under the Land Revenue Act from the trio and paid to the victim.
The offence of Gang Rape was committed 15 years back,
Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied.
Do not know but I did not like the idea of letting go of criminals, rapist by paying money and compromising the crime with the victim.
Normally the verdicts, judgment given by the Supreme Court of India are followed by lower courts of India.
Now the question is suppose tomorrow session court also starts to grant the compounding in offences of Gang Rape?
Is it not possible?
Does the crime of Gang Rape become Compoundable offence after this judgment of Supreme Court?

List of Scandals, Scams, Corruption from 1948 to 2011
List of Scandals, Scams, Corruption from 1948 to 2011
Corruption is not in for Indians or not for this world.
So today I will be remembering and writing here the list of corruption which happened in India since Indian Independence.
If you find any facts wrong please let me know.
British throne passed the Indian Independence Act after that India got the freedom.
Not like Egypt where President Mubarak ran away.
After Independence British people left the India and Indian Throne was empty.
Our Indian people sat on that throne and started to rule India using the same rules and books which were made for the slave colony of India by the British king.
Difference between American and Indian scam corruption cases is that in America rich or politician both go to Jail and India if you are rich and politician you will not go to jail in your prime age.
Suppose Mr. P robs the bank at the age 20 and he goes to jail at the age of 50 what is the use of such justice?
If Mr. P gets the kickbacks at between age 30 to 45 and then he goes to jail at the age of 70 or 75 what is the use of such justice.
