terms of reference for the CCLA inquiry into alleged misuse of p owe r GHMC special commissioner Navin Mittal have not been made public,but it is learnt that they would include the complaints revolving around the misuse of GO 166 (relates to regularisation of government lands) and misuse of the district development funds.
Some of the controversial prime properties that have been linked to abuse of power include a Rs 30-crore site in Bathukammakunta,a 10,000 sq yd plot at Bapunagar,a 4,000 sq yd government hospital land and scores of plots in Shaikpet mandal (mostly 500 sq yd and above). The inquiry officer is likely to review all land regularisation files cleared by Navin Mittal and his immediate subordinates (joint collectors) during his two-year tenure as Hyderabad district collector.
Another major factor that forced the state to act fast was the string of applications filed under the RTI seeking information on the regularisation of various government land in favour of private parties and the file notings pertaining to certain specific controversial files cleared by Mittal.
Mittal made news this year when a woman complained to the CM that the former district collector had misused his official power and regularized her land in the name of another woman without seeking any proof of ownership from the latter.Things started to fall apart for Mittal when the current district collector Natarajan Gulzar found some files pertaining to regularisation of government land missing and they mysteriously reappeared in his office last month without his signature.
The voices against Mittals abuse of power grew stronger after he was made the special commissioner of GHMC.There have been allegations that he had entrusted the responsibility of clearing all controversial files to one of his subordinates.
