PANJIM: Mapusa-based 76-year-old Rawloo Khalap, currently residing in the US, has been a victim of land grabbing of an area admeasuring 1, 48,800 sq mtrs at Dhargalim in Pernem taluka, allegedly by Mandrem MLA Jit Arolkar, met DGP Jaspal Singh and submitted a representation seeking his intervention in the case as the SIT had taken no action for over two months.
In the complaint filed on July 4, Adv Aires Rodrigues had pointed out that a hilly landed property known as ‘Kapni Voril Ghera’, bearing Survey No. 481/0, admeasuring 1, 48,800 sq mts situated at Dhargalim was co-owned by Late Vaikunth Shet Khalap and Late Sadashiv Sakharam Natekar and that on the death of Vaikunth, his son Rawloo Vaikunth Khalap is now one of the co-owners.
Adv Rodrigues in his complaint had stated that Jit Arolkar based on a Power of Attorney dated 24/12/2012 executed between him and legal heirs of Late Sadashiv Sakharam Natekar took over the affairs of the illegally created approximately 200 plots in the property between 8/11/2013 and 14/3/2018 while illegally and fraudulently executing sale deeds with third parties and selling the entire property without the express consent of all the legal heirs of the co-owners of the property.
The complaint had also stated that despite the property being undivided and common, with no partition of land or share carried out by any authority that by devious acts of the accused Arolkar, the Form I & XIV now reflects a number of illegal mutation entries.
“Jit Arolkar had in 2001 joined the Goa Police as a constable only to quit within less than a decade, possibly after making a huge fortune on land scams which is an issue that had to be investigated by the SIT,” Adv Rodrigues said.
