Dy. Collector, Talathi, Head Clerk suspended. The then Dy. Collection of Pernem Mr. Agnelo Fernandes placed under suspension for his alleged involvement in the sale of Govt. land at Ashvem/Mandrem to a Panjim based Party (Anton D’Souza and his 16 successors). Earlier, the Talathi and the Heard Clerk were also suspended in this connection. The suspended officers are Senior Head Clerk Sadashiv Redkar and Talathi Gulshan Harmalkar It was found that that nearly 84,387 sq mtrs of government land along with the land of a private party, both admeasuring about 2.25 lakh sq mtrs, were illegally entered in the name of one Anton D’Souza and his 16 successors. The value of the land is over Rs.5000/sq.mtr On 25th june 2009, Dy. Collector gave his order to include names of all the legal heirs of Mr. Antonio and the whole mutaltion process was completed in less than 15 days by the Talathi and the head clerk Source: Goan Dailies dtd 1st and 8 July 2009 JoeGoaUk says: Mutation entry in less than 15 days? Very interesting!. We have purchased a piece of land (400 sqmtr) from our very own bhatkars. Applied for Mutation last August. Served notices and also gave newspaper publication in Sept/Oct. Made numerous visits to Panjim Office. They said the file is with the CI since October 2008. We been chasing this CI (Sagar) for more then 3 months we never met this guy. Decided to see the Mamlatdar (Mahadev). We asked- Your officer/CI holding our file for then 3 months, is it not too long? He replied ‘ no, it’s not too long’. However, he was kind enough to phone the CI on his mobile saying some guys waiting to see you in your office. We waited more than one hour. We went outside to take a fresh air. In the mean time the CI comes in around 5 and he was already told by his colleagues that some guys went to see Mamladtar.. WE saw/met him for the first time, when asked, why it is taking such a long time? He asked us to give the file No. and soon he said come and see talathi tomorrow. It was so quick that we really felt relieved saying to ourselves ‘Going to Mamlatdar works’ Come next day, upon enquiry at the Talathi, to our surprise they say the CI returned the file with remark ‘Notices not served properly’. We said’ what? If notice were not sent properly, why then we were advised to give newspaper publication? Blaming the officer, they said ‘you better ask this to CI’ Back to CI, he is not there despited visiting him several times. Reluctantly, fresh notices served, two months now and our work still remains undone. If you complain, they can do anything thing. If you don’t pay them (bribe) they can take ages. It seems they all go hand in hand as if they all get percentage of such illgotton money or bribe. Above Ashvem/Mandrem case: Mutation process takes about 45 days (As per Citizen Charter) after the all the formalities up to news paper publication?. It involves file entry, serving Registered AD notices, wait for two weeks and if not all the notices AD come back or one or more come back saying ‘refused’ or ‘addresse not known’ or ‘house closed’ or ‘incomplete address’ etc then the Talati gives a printed notice to be published on local daily. Then wait for another 15 days. The file will now go to CI (Circle Inspector) who is sitting under the same roof as Talathi or the Mamlatdar. After the CI, the file moves to their ‘Sir’ when asked who is the Sir? It’s Mamlatdar. There is not set time as to how long each officer should keep a file with him or her. Mamlatdar can take his own time and there be some elections or by-elections to the panchayat, Zila, Assembly or Parliament then it can take months. (by paying bribe, you could get your work done in less than 15 days as in above Ashvem/Mandrem case) If the Dy. Collector, Talathi and Head Clerk are suspended then what about the Circle Officer? And what about the Mamlatdar? Without whose approval no entries can be made in the mutation Since the land area in Lakhs of sq metrs, the involvement of local MLA or the minister cannot be ruled out. Mr. Digambar, I hate you when you keep saying your Govt if for AAM AADMI Dhek tere aam aadmi ki halat. Nothing works w/o bribe. I am also forwarding this to the New Chief Secretary who upon taking on new charge, has assured bringing in sweeping changes in the administration. Also copying to Goan dailies
