NEW DELHI: The Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) on Tuesday decided to take back the 14 plots alloted to Karnatak CM Siddaramaiah‘s wife Parvathi B M. The MUDA has also ordered to cancel the sale deed of these plots.
“Smt. Parvathi’s son Dr Yathindra, a MLC, had submitted a letter….we have gone through the provisions in our act. There are provisions in our act to take it when given (back) voluntarily,” MUDA commissioner A N Raghunandan said.
“After consulting panel advocates and the legal officer, and after determining that everything is correct, we arrived at a conclusion.So, we have ordered to take it back. We have ordered to cancel the sale deed and handed it over to the sub registrar,” he said to reporters.
Parvathi B M had earlier announced to return the plots allotted to her after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) booked Siddaramaiah in a money laundering case, stating that no site, home, asset and wealth is bigger for her than her husband’s respect, dignity, honour and peace of mind.
On Monday, the central probe agency registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), equivalent to an FIR by police, against the chief minister over the alleged irregularities in allotment of 14 sites to his wife by the MUDA.
Earlier, the Lokayukta police on September 27 registered an FIR against Siddaramaiah, his wife, brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy, Devaraju — from whom Mallikarjuna Swamy purchased land and gifted it to Parvathi — and others, following a Special Court order.
A Special Court Judge, Santhosh Gajanan Bhat, issued an order just one day following the High Court’s decision to uphold the Governor’s sanction for conducting an investigation against Siddaramaiah.
The MUDA site allotment case involves allegations that Siddaramaiah’s wife received 14 compensatory sites in a high-end area of Mysuru (Vijayanagar Layout 3rd and 4th stages). These sites reportedly had a significantly higher property value compared to the location of her land that MUDA had “acquired.”
“Under the controversial scheme, MUDA allotted 50 per cent of developed land to the land losers in lieu of undeveloped land acquired from them for forming residential layouts.”
Parvathi was allotted plots by MUDA under a 50:50 ratio scheme in exchange for 3.16 acres of her land, which was used by MUDA to develop a residential layout. However, there are allegations that Parvathi did not possess legal title to this 3.16-acre parcel of land, located at survey number 464 of Kasare village, Kasaba hobli, Mysuru taluk.
