Tahasildar , Bhubaneswar does not care Odisha Information Commission

Tahasildar , Bhubaneswar  does not care to  appear during hearing of the case  and simply ignore   order of Odisha Information Commission

Tall claim of Nabin Patnaik as Transparent Govt. is false and fraud with OIC finding helplessness   and busy in  issuing notice after notice ……..

The Case is  non-supply of information about Ghangapatna Land Scam , biggest land scam  in Bhubaneswar perpetuated  by politicians  of BJD and BJP patronised  by Nabin Patnaik, Chief Minister of Odisha


Dear friends
 In August, 2014,   it  was exposed  by  the local people and media that  huge acres of tribal was  illegally  acquired  by  late Kalpataru Das and his MLA Son Pranab Balabantaray  and Sri K.V.Singhdeo, BJP MLA in name of her daughter and many powerful people  connected  with BJD party  in Ghangapatana  area of Bhubaneswar  under jurisdiction of Tahasildar, Bhubaneswar.  After this expose , all the opposition political parties and Civil Society Groups  coming to the streets  organised  protest   dharana demanding CBI inquiry  into scam.  It is popularly known as Ghangapatna land Scam in Odisha. It is another type of KIIT Land Scam in Bhubaneswar.   In the midst of protest, Chief Minister ordered  for  Crime Branch enquiry  and  after few days  the Govt. declared  that  70 acres of  land  of Ghangapatna returned  back to Govt. fold. It was highlighted  by all Print and Electronics Media during  that time.

  To verify the authenticity of information, RTI Application dt. 17.9.14 was submitted to the PIO,  Office of Revenue and Disaster Management, Govt. of Odisha, Bhubaneswar   seeking information about details of  Ghangapatana land  returned back by Govt.  Though 30 days passed, the PIO did not supply   the information. Then, on 31.1.2.14,  I made first appeal to the First Appellate Authority  to hear the case and provide the information. Though 30 days passed, the FAA neither heard the case nor provided the information.  Then, Second Appeal dated 1.2.15 was filed to Odisha Information Commission seeking information and penalty against PIO under section 20 (1) of the RTI Act.

After two and half years, on 14.7.17., Mrs. Sashi Prava Bindhani, State Information Commissioner started hearing the  Second Appeal petition  Case No.  284/15.  The PIO, office of Collector, Khurda submitted that though he had noticed thrice to the Tahasildar, Bhubaneswar to provide the information,  he did not respond.  After hearing it, the Commission  issued  direction to the PIO, office of Tahasildar, Bhubaneswar to produce all the information about Ghangapatna land to the Appellant within 7 days and fixed 16.8.17 for second hearing of the case.

On 16.8.17, during hearing, the PIO, office of Tahasildar  neither filed  any affidavit nor appeared  the case nor provided any  information.  The order of the Commission was simply thrown to the dustbin.    However, the Commission  has issued  notice  again to PIO, office of Tahasildar to  appear , file  the affidavit  in the next day of hearing.
