The Lokayukta police have registered FIR against former Chief Minister N. Dharam Singh, former minister H.D. Revanna and others in a case of alleged illegal land denotification in Banashankari 6th Phase Layout.
Complainant Rayasandra Ravikumar of Turuvekere claimed that Mr Revanna’s sister-in-law Kavitha Balakrishne Gowda, bought 2.20 acres of land for Rs 50 lakh even as the land was under acquisition and the then CM, Mr Dharam Singh, denotified the same land.
After denotification, the same piece of land was sold for Rs 4 crore to Sobha Developers, causing loss to state exchequer.
The complaint has named Mr Dharam Singh as prime accused and listed Mr Revanna, Mrs Kavita Balakrishne Gowda, wife of Mr H.D. Balakrishne Gowda, JD(S) MLC K.V. Narayanaswamy and others as co-accused in the case.
The complainant stated that in April 2005, Ms Kavitha Balakrishne Gowda, by giving the address of her father Mr Honnappa, entered into a sale agreement with Mr Narayanswamy for 2.20 acres of land out of 10.17 acres.
In December 2005, 2.20 acres of land was registered in the name of Ms Kavitha Balakrishne Gowda for an undervalued price of Rs 50 lakh.
Subsequently, Narayanswamy withdrew a writ petition in June 2006 and two months later, the 2.20 acres of land was sold to Sobha Developers for Rs 4 crore.
