Warrant against senior HSVP officials for delay in land compensation
Gurgaon: A city court on Tuesday directed police to issue a bailable warrant against Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) and its chief administrator after it failed to pay compensation to a landowner "for years despite a court order". Tired of too many ads? go ad free now An HSVP official, when contacted by TOI, said it will analyse the order and take "appropriate action after obtaining legal opinion". Additional district judge Jagdeep Singh passed the order on an execution petition filed by Nav Rattan Singh through his counsel Jagjeet Singh. Warrants were issued when HSVP repeatedly failed to pay the amount of the enhanced compensation of the acquired land, which was increased by Punjab and Haryana high court in 2017. The court — while passing the order due to payment delay in a case where Pradhikaran had acquired land — directed DCP (HQ) to execute the bailable order, failing which action would be initiated against the official. The court order said DCP (headquarters) shall ensure the execution of bailable warrants, failing which the officer shall have to appear in person on the next date of hearing to explain the reasons for non-execution of the warrant. "This court is left with no other option except to issue bailable warrants in the sum of Rs 10,000 each against the HSVP (Gurgaon) administrator and its chief administrator to be executed through the office of DCP (headquarters) before July 28," the order said. The court said a perusal of the record would reveal that the present execution petition was preferred way back in 2019 and to date, HSVP has not paid the compensation amount to the landowner. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Jagmeet Singh, counsel for the petitioner, said the govt should devise a fair and transparent mechanism so that landowners are paid compensation in a timely manner. He said, "People oppose the acquisition of their land because they are not paid just and proper compensation within the prescribed time." Around half an acre of land belonging to Nav Rattan Singh, situated in the village of Daultabad (Gurgaon), was acquired for the construction of a master storm drain in 1998. However, the amount of enhanced compensation was not paid to the landowner by HSVP. Due to this, landowner Singh filed an execution petition before the district judge (Gurgaon) in 2019. Even after nearly six years of filing the execution petition, HSVP did not pay the amount.

Fake identities, forged documents: Rs 21cr land compensation fraud hits Gurgaon court
Chandigarh: In a financial scam that has rocked the administrative and judicial corridors of Gurgaon, impersonators allegedly siphoned off crores of rupees from a fixed deposit receipt (FDR) worth around Rs 500 crore. The FDR was deposited with the Gurgaon court in connection with the acquisition of 86.46 acres of land for the construction of a 60-metre-wide sectoral road linking sectors 68 to 74 — a key infrastructure project. So far, fraudsters have withdrawn Rs 21 in two separate cases, and that too by procuring directions from the Gurgaon district court using forged documents. The scam was brought to light by Gurgaon additional district judge Jagdeep Singh, who, while hearing some cases, flagged the possibility that the fraud could run into hundreds of crores, suggesting the involvement of a sophisticated and well-organised criminal racket. Judge Singh directed the Gurgaon police commissioner to take immediate action by registering FIRs and forming a special investigation team (SIT) to be headed by Gurgaon DCP (crime) to probe the matter. These directives were issued in Dec 2024 and reiterated in March 2025, after which separate FIRs were registered at Gurgaon's Shivaji Nagar police station. The case is currently under investigation by the SIT. The case traces back to Dec 9, 2016, when land acquisition collector (LAC) Kulbir Singh Dhaka announced award no.

IC Markets Start Now Undo 44 for acquiring 86.46 acres of land for a 60-metre-wide road project between sectors 68 and 74. On March 11, 2022, around 518 crore was deposited by the LAC in the Gurgaon ADJ court via DD no. 210034 dated March 5, 2022, of IndusInd Bank Limited, along with reference petition LAC/67/2022 under Section 31 of the Land Acquisition Act, which includes the compensation amount of Rs 15.71 crore towards the share of one of the complainant companies (Aditya Properties Private Limited) for the acquisition of their land comprising 13 kanal, 18 marla in Badshahpur village. The court, via order dated March 11, 2022, registered the reference petition and ordered the deposit of the land compensation amount in the SBI branch in the judicial complex, Gurgaon, in the name of the court, in FDR for a period of 555 days and further renewal from time to time to save the loss of interest. Notices were issued to parties for April 1, 2022. Thereafter, the claimant parties started filing their claims in the reference petition. Case 1: Rs 16 crore withdrawn using forged documents An FIR was recently registered at Gurgaon's Shivaji Nagar police station under various sections of IPC for cheating, forgery, impersonation, and related charges on the complaint of Sanjay Chowdhary, director, Aditya Properties Private Limited, a subsidiary of Unitech Limited and land acquisition award holder. According to the complaint, a man named Dharam from Binola village posed as the authorised signatory of Aditya Properties and filed an application in court of the then additional district judge, V P Sirohi, on Feb 22, 2023, seeking release of Rs 15.71 crore compensation. He submitted forged and fabricated documents, including cheques in the name Aditya Properties. On March 9, 2023, an official from the Gurgaon LAC office, Vinay Patwari, appeared in court and raised no objection to the release. Consequently, the court ordered the disbursal of the amount on July 27, 2023. The fraud was discovered when two people posing as CID officials visited the company's office to inquire about the compensation funds, even meeting its directors. Alarmed, the company conducted its own investigation, inspected court records, and filed an application on Aug 3, 2023, to protect the LAC compensation amount of Rs 15.71 crore. It is alleged that bank officials may have been complicit, and the lawyer representing the impersonator claimed he had no personal knowledge of his client. Judge Singh took cognisance and directed the Gurgaon police commissioner to have the case investigated by the SIT. A total of Rs 16.11 crore, including accrued interest, was withdrawn fraudulently. Case 2: Nearly Rs 5cr fraud, bid to take out Rs 6.3L In a separate but related incident, Brahm Prakash, a resident of Gurgaon's Shivaji Nagar informed the court that his land was also acquired, and someone had forged his signatures and tried to withdraw Rs 6.38 lakh. He learned of the fraud on Dec 16, 2024, when Basant Patwari of LAC, Gurgaon, alerted him to the suspicious activity. That same day, he appeared in court to record his statement. The impersonator used fake identity documents, including a forged Aadhaar card, and claimed an address in Shivaji Nagar — a location where Prakash never resided. The actual landowner confirmed that he had already received benefits in the form of FAR/TDR and neither claimed nor received any compensation amount. He informed that Rs 4.97 crore has already been withdrawn fraudulently by the impersonator, and again an attempt was made to withdraw Rs 6.38 lakh. Judge Singh, in his order dated Dec 20, 2024, ordered registration of an FIR, stating that public funds cannot be allowed to be misused in such a manner.
