Chief Minister PK Dhumal said the government was contemplating bringing about legislation during the monsoon session to vest the property and assets created out of unfair means, disproportionate to the known sources of income.
He was addressing a state-level meeting of the Legal Cell of the state BJP at the state party office here yesterday. “We are also considering holding an inquiry by a sitting high court judge into the alleged benami land transactions that had taken place in the state,” he said.
National Convener of the Legal Cell Satya Pal Jain was also present on the occasion.
Dhumal said a decision had already been taken to conduct a judicial inquiry into the essentiality certificates issued to various parties up till March 31, 2011, right from the time of the enactment of the Apartment Act.
“The government has granted permission under Section 118 of the Tenancy and Land Reform Act to 1,297 persons on merit after strict scrutiny while during the Congress regime 2,068 persons were given permission in violation of the norms,” he alleged. He added that a committee headed by Suresh Bhardwaj would be submitting its report to the government in this regard.
He also rejected allegations by the Congress regarding providing government land to private universities. “Not even an inch of government land has been provided to the private universities, rather Himachal is the first state in the country to enact the Private Universities Regulatory Act,” he said.
