Litigation News Update - 08-04-2007 |

LITIGATION AGAINST JOSEPH
CHACKO & CITISCAPE PROPERTIES
The court hearing was held on
30-03-07, as scheduled. The Second defendant, Citiscape
Properties stated that they have no claims over Athina
Township and that they have no objection to pass any orders.
However, the First defendant, Joseph Chacko contested for
more time to file his objections. Accordingly, the court
adjourned for next hearing on 30-05-07.
SITE OWNERS AFFECTED BY
CABLE SHREEDHAR'S OCCUPATION
It has been noticed that about 6 acres of
land in Athina Township has been compounded by one Cable
Shreedhar, following a litigation between Joseph Chacko and
one original land owner family late last year. Even though
the litigated property was 1.66 acres only, a much larger
area is presently under the occupation of the said Cable
Shreedhar. It is believed that there was some connivance
between the parties that led to this blatant land grabbing!

*Attention : To those who wish to take immediate possession
of land |
|
Dear Friends,
The meeting of Athina Township Welfare Society on 5th March
2007 went on well.
According to the information received from our Vice
President, it is the right time to occupy the land
and construct some permanent structures in the property and
it is a must now. A strong reason behind the success of our
case so far was the few houses built in our layout. Few of
our members came forward to start building houses. Those who
are planning to build the houses may contact the Secretary
or Mr. Gigi Thomas (Tel: 9893093) for further discussion. We
will have a meeting of site owners who are
ready to build the house immediately at United
Indian School, Abbasiya, Kuwait on Friday 9th March at
2.00pm. We will forward the minutes
of the meeting held on 5th March soon.
Regards,
Raju C. Ninan,
Secretary.

The actions taken by the
Society at various levels has started giving results. Chacko
has submitted a letter to the Police in order to exonerate
him from the recent encroachment case. In this letter he has
declared that he did sell the lands to the NRIs many years
ago and that he has no claim whatsoever over the lands and
the site owners are free to enjoy them!
The Cityscape Properties, the main aggressor, is retreating.
They are bullying the issue using the Daliths card.
Aggressors have by now lost all other cards. It is a
sensitive matter that is being handled tactfully.
Our civil case proceedings against Joseph Chacko and
Cityscape continues.
Some site owners have apprehension whether to do any further
investment at all prior to the civil case verdict. We wish
to reiterate that we are given police protection for the
simple reason that we are the rightful owners. The civil
suit is filed to endorse our ownership title from future
misadventures.
According to Karnataka land rules, vacant lands are at risk
of government take over. However, lands owned and possessed
by the holders are usually spared. Government has respected
Society’s representations given at various levels, and we
are given a mandate to reestablish the layout and to take
possession expeditiously. We could convince the officials
that we are in possession of the lands, thanks to some of
the site owners who dared to build houses and compound walls
without guarantees.
However, the police protection given to our layout cannot go
indefinitely. Our immediate need is to reestablish the
demarcation, infrastructures and utilities. It is estimated
to cost around Rs 20 per sq.ft to meet the current needs.
All site owners are requested to understand the urgency of
the matter and pay your dues to the Society's Bank
A/c being operated as a joint account in the name of
Jacob Thomas (Vice President), Raju C. Ninan (Secretary) &
James Luke (Treasurer). So any payments to be made by Cheque
or Draft has to be drawn in any one of the above names.
Bank Account No. 30068682550
State Bank of India, Kacharakanahalli,
Kammanahally Main Road, Bangalore 560084, India
Please intimate your payment details to: athinatown@yahoo.com;
phone: 91-9825-674564 and to Secretary / Treasurer: athinatownship2@yahoo.com
for Society's account recording purpose.
It is desired to hold a meeting of the site owners on 8th &
9th at Bangalore. Site owners from Kuwait, UAE, Qatar,
Bahrain, Oman, USA & Canada are requested to send
representatives to assess the situation and take appropriate
action plans.

01-03-2007
Court has adjourned the hearing to 30th March 2007 |
Our file
suit was heard 2 days ago and it is adjourned for 30th
March. The judge was not convinced of our petition for
injuction order as it lacks representation of site owners.
However the judge has ordered to send emergency notice to
the defendants to respond before 30th March. The judge
stated there are wider ramifications for this case,
therefore to be heard from the defendants too.
The
police protection for the layout continues. We are doing
everything possible to keep the police on the ground
because the SC/STs will repossess the area and install
huts if the police leaves.

04-02-2007 Goondas have been thrown
out from ATHINA |
|
We have been
informed by our Vice President Mr. George Varughese from
Bangalore that as a result of CMO's firm intervention, the
IG has send special order to send the police force to our
layout. The police force have been deployed at ATHINA
yesterday and 'goondas' have been thrown out from the
layout. However, this is a temporary relief only.
Therefore, we are asked to obtain immediate favorable court
orders to enjoy continued govt. protection. We request all
Athina plot owners to unite together to get our legal
rights. Though the present police action is done for the
whole layout, the court will consider the case as an
individual case for each plot owners separately. So we urge
the members of ATWS who have not yet send their documents to
send it immediately and those who have not yet joined the
society to join the society without further delay. IT IS A
MUST IF YOU WANT TO WIN YOUR CASE. We have a mail going
today to Bangalore (from Kuwait) and if anyone wants to send
their documents, may contact us before 1.00 pm.
