A local court in Jaipur directed urban development authorities to organise a special show of Anupam Kher’s Khosla Ka Ghosla increase sensitivity among the authorities towards the issue of land-grab.
The court passed this order while hearing a suit filed by Shillong-based Manjushi Jhunjhunwala against the authorities and property dealers saying her land was usurped by the property dealers while the officials sided with the land mafia. The issue came before the seventh additional district judge (fast track) Dinesh Kumar, who suggested special show of the film for the urban development and police officials.
The petitioner Ms Jhunjhunwala had purchased a piece of land in Jaipur in 1982 for residential purpose. However, she later learnt that her land was sold by an unknown person to a third party.
The housing society had sold the land on the name of Manjushi wife of Arun Kumar but Ms Jhunjhunwala found that the Jaipur Development Authority maintained the record in the name of Manju wife of Arun Kumar.
The petitioner also discovered that the buyer is a non-existent person Manju. The court took note of the issue and provided the relief to Jhunjhunwala.
The petitioner bought the land measuring 350-square-yard but the housing society also reduced the size of the plot allocated.
The court observed that such type of grievances cause frustration and disappointment among the victims and resulted in problems like Naxalism.
