She is all along alive, but land mafias have sold her land citing her dead and issueless. This has been done cunningly with the help of few revenue officials and the Tahasildar has even mutated the land in the favour of the purchaser with out verifying the fact. But thanks to the judgment of the Addl. Sub Collector of Sambalpur, the old tribal lady Gangi Munda finally gets back his land. Pronouncing the order in the mutation appeal case, the Addl. Sub Collector expressed concern on attitude of the revenue officials while dealing with cases related to transfer of the lands belong to tribal people.
“Innocent tribal people are falling pray in the hands of land mafias and slowly loosing their ancestral property. There is strict enactment of law to safeguard their interest but the legal principles are openly violated because of the corrupt practices of few revenue officials. Revenue official should apply his own mind while dealing with the transfer case of land belongs to the tribal people”, the Addl Sub Collector Mr. Ashok Purohit told on Friday.
Sources said, about 6.5 acres of land located in the village Gengutipali under Sadar Tahasil, outskirt of the Sambalpur town was purchased by one Jag Mohan Singh of Surguja (Chhatishgarh) in the year 2004. The land belongs to a tribal family having 7 members including the 60 years old Gangi Munda. But during transaction of the land, the purchaser cited her dead and issueless and with out her knowledge the land was transferred. The sale deed of the land shows that Nagua Oram, Kartika Oram, Rengtu Munda and Bhikari Munda have put their thumb impressions. The Sambalpur Tahasildar has even mutated the land in favour of Jag Mohan Singh by correcting the ROR. More over the market price of the land was Rs. 11,000/- per decimal but the transaction was made @ Rs. 1000/- per decimal.
“The matter came before me when one of the aggrieved parties filed an appeal. On verification I found that there are as many as 17 recorded tenants of the land. But surprisingly the land was purchased by one Jag Mohan Singh of Surguja (chhatishgarh) with the help of few recorded tenants citing others dead or issueless. Possibility of involvement of land mafias in the back ground can not be ruled out”, the Addl. Sub Collector Mr. Purohit told.
Sources said, tribal land can not be transferred to non-tribal people with out prior permission of the revenue officer. But with out obtaining permission Jag Mohan purchased the tribal land as he claimed to be a member of the tribal community of Chhatisgarh state. But during the course of hearing Gangi Munda appeared and claimed to have cheated and not aware of the transaction of the land. .
“She was described as dead and issueless in the sale deed but when I saw her I did not have any doubt on the malafide intension of the purchaser land. I have order to insert the name of the recorded owners in place of the purchaser Jag Mohan”, Mr. Purohit added.
