The hearings pertain to land records and land acquisition that the MMRDA failed to provide an applicant with.
After an applicant did not receive any information even after six hearings, the state information commissioner (SIC) asked the deputy commissioner of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) to attend the next hearing. The hearings pertain to land records and land acquisition that the MMRDA failed to provide an applicant with. The hearings started at the information commission in June 2018.
The commission in its January 24, 2019 order asked the deputy metropolitan commissioner and also the officer, who was asked to enquire about missing land records, to be present for the next hearing scheduled on February 21, 2019.
Mahim resident Subhash Kataria, through his RTI application, had sought details of the land records of a plot in Mohalli. The applicant did not receive the desired information. During the second appeal, state chief information commissioner Sumit Mullick called for the records. The file, however, did not have original documents. Even the notices for acquisition that were shared were not originals. The notices, with no stamp of the MMRDA, were given to the lessee and not to the plot owner.
The commission doubted the integrity of the notices and stated that land records come under 'A' category and are permanent documents. It directed the metropolitan commissioner to conduct an enquiry in three months and respond. After five months, the public information officer (PIO) said that the additional district collector of MMRDA, who was assigned with the task of enquiry, had not provided the report. The commission, therefore, asked the additional collector to attend the hearing.
The additional district collector, MMRDA, said the enquiry was complete and that the MMRDA commissioner had asked the deputy commissioner to look into the report. The commission then asked the additional collector and the deputy metropolitan commissioner to be present before it with all documents.
