JAIPUR: A real estate developer from Jaipur has accused officials of the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) of tampering with land records and illegally modifying the ownership of a specific land parcel.
Rajdarbar Pinkcity Developers Pvt Ltd filed a complaint with the JDA Commissioner, stating that the firm purchased approximately 3.14 hectares of agricultural land in Jayasinghpura Bas village near Bhankrota in 2005, supported by registered sale deeds.
The company claims that it followed all legal protocols, including the surrender of land as per the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, which were approved by the JDA the same year.
In January 2021, JDA officials allegedly prepared a land division document without the company’s consent. This document was purportedly used to alter khata numbers and land sizes in official records and didn’t have any official approval, as claimed by the developer.
As per the complaint, this action resulted in the fragmentation of the land into smaller lots and an illegitimate change in ownership.
The developer argued that this move was an attempt to seize the land it had legally acquired and urged for disciplinary and criminal actions against the officials involved, along with restoring the original land records.
JDA officials stated that the complaint would be reviewed according to standard procedures by the zone officials.
“The area falls under zone-11 of the authority. The complaint will be investigated, and appropriate actions will be taken,” said Naval Kishor Meena, Deputy Registrar and Public Relations Officer.
The Deputy Commissioner for zone-11 was unavailable for comments.
