After Patwaris and brokers, Haryana government has now prepared a list of corrupt Tehsildars. It includes the names of 47 Tehsildars. The input received by the government from the intelligence department states that these Tehsildars have done the registrations in a wrong manner. Especially, they ignored Section 7-A. Then they registered the property by taking money.
The government also suspects that they have more property than their income. After the list of Patwaris and brokers was leaked, the government has kept it completely secret. However, the names have been sent to the Deputy Commissioners of the districts of their posting and a report has been summoned. A top source associated with the Revenue Ministry has confirmed this.
Notices were given earlier also, but no action was taken
The matter of registrations without NOC in violation of Rule 7A had come to the government earlier also. Then notices were issued to Tehsildars, Naib Tehsildars and Patwaris. Then they were asked for clarification. But, after this no action was taken in this matter. Then it was believed that due to pressure and high reach, the government had to come on the back foot.
