PANJIM: Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on Wednesday refused to comment on the one-man inquiry report on the Tiracol land.
Asked for his reaction to the report of Deputy Collector of Dharbandora, Agnelo Fernandes, who concluded that the Tiracol land is non-tenanted, Parrikar said it is a judicial matter and would not want to comment.
“The inquiry was initiated by the High Court and I do not want to make a comment on the issue,” Parrikar said.
Fernandes was appointed by the High Court of Bombay at Goa to probe whether the land acquired by Leading Hotels Ltd for setting the golf course and villa project in Tiracol is tenanted or not.
The St Anthony Tenants and Mundkars’ Association, which was battling to prove that the agricultural land is tenanted and cannot be sold, gifted, sublet or used for non-agricultural purposes, was shocked when the Deputy Collector at a hearing on Monday concluded that the Tiracol land is non-agricultural.
