PRESS CONFERENCE POINTS –3rd October, 2013 VICE PRESIDNET & NCP CHIEF SPOKESPERSON – TRAJANO D’MELLO By a Judgment dated 29/7/2013 in a Civil Suit No. 271/2012 /B, Shri. Dilip Parulekar presented this suit on 23/11/2012 which was decided in his favour on 29/7/2013. THE DURATION OF THIS CASE WAS 8 MONTHS AND 6 DAYS. (THIS WAS DURING HIS TENURE AS A MINISTER IN THE CABINET). Shri Dilip Parulekar, the present Tourism Minister in his plaint has admitted that he had a structure by encroaching on Communidade land admeasuring 599 sq. mts. for the last 20 years. The respondents in this case were No. 1 Administrator of Communidade, North Goa Zone and No. 2 Communidade of Serula represented by the Attorney. Brief facts are as following: 1. The plaintiff Shri Dilip Parulekar made an application to the Attorney of Serula Communidade on 9/11/2011 for request to regularize the encroached area admeasuring 599 sq. mts. (at this point of time Shri Dilip Parulekar is an elective representative to the Goa Legislative Assembly.) 2. The Attorney on 4/12/2011 (meeting called in 25 days) along with the Managing Committee had a General Body Meeting of Jonoeiros and Shareholders and informed them that the occupied land with a structure and deep stone quarry is not fetching any rent nor value and loss to the defendant No. 2 in the form of litigation in various court and the Communidade is loss in the form of payment of fees to the Advocate in defending in court and in recovering the land. This clearly indicates that the Communidade had initiated proceedings for the recovery of the land. Subsequently the General Body resolved that if there is a problem and loss to the Communidade then it could be regularized as per Article 380 (2) of the Code of Communidade of area 599 sq. mts. in the survey No. 376/6 by collecting an amount in the form of value of the land as per the present rate fixed by the Government of Goa. 3. The Communidade of Serula represented by the Attorney made an application dated 15/7/2012 to the Administrator of Communidade North Zone for the regularization of the encroached land as per the resolution passed in the General body granting permission for regularisation. (It is pertinent to note that, the letter dated 15/7/2012 was made by the Serula Communidade by its attorney during Mr. Dilip Parulekar as a Tourism minister of the Cabinet in Goa Govt.) 4. The Plaintiff was also aware that letter dated on 15/7/2012. The Attorney of Serula Communidade has requested the Administrator to forward the proposal to Administrative Tribunal for necessary sanction as per the Code of Communidade. 5. The Administrative Tribunal granted the order bearing No. 5/123/AT/ADM/COM/Perm dated 27/9/2012 (order in two months). 6. Attorney of Communidade requested Shri Dilip Parulekar to make the payment. 7. The Plaintiff Shri Dilip Parulekar through a letter dated 22/10/2012 paid the amount of Rs. 3,41,430/- by a draft dated 23/10/2012 . 8. On 28/10/2012 the attorney of the Communidade of Serula issued a certificate to Dilip Parulekar within 5 days of the payment, certifying that he is in possession of the land admeasuring 599 Sq. Mts. and no objection to start construction in the said property and to enter the name in the occupant column of Survey record. 9. Shri Dilip Parulekar by application dated 30/9/2012 requested the defendant No. 1, i.e. Attorney of Communidade North Zone to grant a final possession of the said plot, which was regularized by the order of the Administrative Tribunal. 10. Defendant No. 1 reply dated 1/11/2012 that same cannot be done as the file should be processed as per the Code of Communidade. 11. The Attorney of Serula Communidade Shri. Peter Martins happens to be Panchayat Secretary and Administrator of Communidade-North Goa, Smt. Irene Vitoria Sequeria is Under Secretary of Tourism, who functions under the direction of the Tourism Minister (In this case the applicant for regularising the plot.) 12. This is a clear case of misuse and abuse of Govt. machinery for grabbing land. 13. It is a case where a fence is erected to protect the crops and the fence itself eats the crops. 14. The NCP demands the resignation of the Tourism Minister, failing which Chief Minister should sacked him and initiate an inquiry on this land grabbing episode. 15. The Revenue Minister who also is the custodian of the Communidade property should explain whether the advice given to his Party Colleague Shri. Vishnu Surya Wagh was to follow the R.S.S. culture of grabbing land. 16. The NCP strongly demands that the land in question be reverted back to the Serula Communidade, failing which we would seek legal remedy to book the Tourism Minister in this fraudulent act.
