A petition has been today filed before the Special Court under the Prevention of Corruption Act seeking directions to the Anti- Corruption Branch (ACB) to immediately register an F.I.R. against Speaker of Goa Assembly Rajendra Arlekar in the disproportionate assets case. In the petition filed under Section 156(3) of the Criminal Procedure Code it has been sought that the ACB be also directed to speedily investigate the case in accordance with law. The Court’s attention has been drawn that by a sale deed dated 26th August last year Speaker Rajendra Arlekar purchased from a Delhi based journalist Dharmanand Kamat the 500 sq mt plot at Porvorim on a payment of Rs 72 lakhs and that the sale deed does not reveal the mode of payment as to whether the amount paid by Rajendra Arlekar was in cash, cheque or draft. Besides the 72 lakhs Rajendra Arlekar also paid an amount of Rs 2,52,000 towards stamp duty and a further Rs 2,16,280 as registration and processing fees of that Sale deed.
