The Justice V.K Jadhav Commission of Inquiry probing the Land grabbing in Goa today witnessed heated moments with Adv. Aires Rodrigues today cross examining the Special Investigation Team over the sloppy probe into the complaint against Mandrem MLA Jit Arolkar who is accused of having grabbed land admeasuring 1, 48,800.00 sq. mtrs situated at Village Dhargal in Pernem of which Mapusa based Rawloo Khalap is a co-owner.
Adv. Aires Rodrigues representing Rawloo Khalap today cross examined SIT Police Sub Inspector (PSI) Pritesh Dinanath Madgaonkar who had filed an affidavit in the case. PSI Madgoankar in his cross examination today feigned ignorance on whether Jit Arolkar was supporting the ruling BJP Government.
PSI Pritesh Madgaonkar last week had given details to the one man Commission on the manner in which Jit Arolkar had grabbed of which Mapusa based Rawloo Khalap is a co-owner.
PSI Madgaonkar in his affidavit had stated that the accused Jit Arolkar based on the Power of attorney of the heirs of one co-owner took over the affairs of the property and illegally created approximately 200 plots in the undivided property and fraudulently executed sale deeds with third parties while selling the entire property without the consent of all the co-owners.
PSI Madgaonkar in his affidavit had further stated that Jit Arolkar developed the property and sub-divided it without obtaining any permissions from the Competent authority and with an intention to cheat co-owner Rawloo Khalap misrepresented in the sale deeds that the vendors he was representing were the sole and exclusive owners in possession of the property while cheating Rawloo Khalap and the purchasers of the plots.
Adv. Rodrigues today submitted before the one man Commission that now Mandrem MLA Jit Arolkar with political patronage and in connivance with the Pernem revenue officials had grabbed Rawloo Khalap’s property.
A Division Bench of the Bombay High Court at Goa comprising of Justice M.S Sonak and Justice B.P Deshpande on 1st March had dismissed the petition filed by Jit Arolkar last year seeking quashing of the F.I.R against him in connection with this land grabbing case.
