GURUGRAM: A naib tehsildar is under investigation following the suspension linked to a hotel registry scandal. Narender, stationed in Wazirabad, is accused of registering multiple conveyance deeds associated with Ansal Buildwell, despite a ban from the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP).
Recently suspended due to the Bristol Hotel registry controversy, Narender is now being scrutinized for his involvement in past registries approved at the tehsil level. Concerns have arisen from the registries processed in Wazirabad, particularly regarding a deed for approximately 450 square yards of land meant for a dispensary in Sushant Lok 3, which was registered without proper layout plan revisions or approvals.
The Badshapur SDM has called on authorized representatives from Ansal Buildwell to provide documents and clarifications regarding these transactions. “Notices have been issued to both parties, and detailed replies are required. They have received two opportunities to respond; failure to provide a satisfactory explanation will lead to a complete investigation and a report to the Gurgaon deputy commissioner,” stated Badshapur SDM Sanjeev Singla.
Officials noted that the builder’s license renewal with DTCP is still pending, and there are significant outstanding external development charges. Civic and utility agencies are also reportedly owed considerable sums.
Initial investigations revealed that over a dozen registries in Sushant Lok 2 and 3 were completed manually prior to the implementation of the online registration system. These actions purportedly took place despite explicit DTCP orders issued in 2022 that prohibited the builder from executing initial conveyance deeds. Concerns have been raised regarding properties whose allotments extend as far as 2025, questioning compliance with planning norms and departmental guidelines.
With allegations of possible collusion at the tehsil level, a broader review of documents registered in Wazirabad and Badshahpur tehsils has been initiated following the official’s suspension. If irregularities are confirmed, recommendations for filing an FIR against responsible individuals, including builder representatives, may ensue.
Meanwhile, senior revenue officials have commenced an audit of past manual registries within the tehsil to detect any patterns indicative of similar approvals. This review will assess whether mandatory town and country planning clearances, layout approvals, and dues verification were overlooked before the registration of documents.
The district administration is also identifying properties where conveyance deeds were executed during the restriction period to evaluate their legal standing and implications for buyers. Legal advice is being sought on whether these deeds can be annulled or suspended pending inquiry. The results of this audit will influence any further disciplinary or legal actions taken in this matter.
