Hyderabad, August 30: The Telangana Advocates Joint Action Committee leaders have urged the State Government to order a full-fledged CBI enquiry into the de-notification of 9-acre land in Ameerpet during the reign of former chief minister K Rosaiah, which resulted in a loss of Rs 200 crore to the government.
In a petition submitted to the Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, the High Court Advocate Sriranga Rao demanded that an impartial enquiry into the alleged scam was essential, especially in view of the fact that former Chief Minister K Rosaiah who was named in the scam has been elevated to the post Governor of Tamil Nadu. Finding fault with the ACB Court verdict giving clean to Rosaiah, the Advocated JAC said it would approach the High Court against the verdict.
The advocates JAC has also demanded CBI inquiry into the allotment of lands made to IT companies in and around Hyderabad. According to JAC, the TDP government had entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the K Raheja Corporation on June 10, 2002 for allotment of 115 acres at Madhapur in Rangareddy district due to which the state suffered a loss of Rs 500 crore. In view of the deal struck by Neil Raheja, Managing Director of Raheha Corporation, with the former Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy, the APIIC and IT & C departments agreed for a meagre 0.55 percent share instead of 11 percent share resulting in a loss of Rs 500 crore to the state, said the Telangana Advocates JAC in their representation to the Chief Minister.
Further, Raheja floated another company – Strargaze properties which was also allotted another piece of 100 acres under Special Economic Zone in Maheshwaram mandal, Rangareddy district, stated Sriranga Rao in his petition. In the wake of such alleged irregularities, Sriranga Rao appealed to the state government to order a CBI enquiry into the whole issue of irregular allotments of land, failing which they would move the High Court for seeking justice.
