The High Court has directed the State government to initiate action against TNGOs leader Swamy Goud.
The High Court heard a petition on the alleged irregularities committed by Swamy Goud in the allotment of house-sites to Telangana NGOs. The court has directed the government to initiate inquiry against Swamy Goud within one month. The court also told the petitioners that they could get back to it, if the government failed to initiate action within a month.
There are allegations that Swamy Goud had allotted house-sites to the people of his choice, ignoring the claims of deserving employees. The aggrieved employees have filed a petition in the High Court seeking scrapping of the society. The High Court has already ordered a full-scale inquiry into the activities of the society. Kiranmayi, an officer of Cooperative department, who held an inquiry into the allegations, confirmed that there were irregularities.
She submitted her report to the government.
The society was allotted 160 acres for distribution to the employees in Gachi Bowli and Gopannapalli areas in 1991. Kiranmayi’s report has stated that the society has not even maintained a register of membership and allotted plots indiscriminately.
She also said that through fake affidavits 240 plots were given under benami names. She also found that TNGOs of other districts and even gazetted officers were allotted house-sites. She said that even a seniority list was not prepared. She has submitted a 1000-page report to the government. However, Swamy Goud has maintained that he has not committed any irregularities. He also found fault with the officer for leaking the report even before she submitted it to the government.
