Raj govt assures of action against guilty in land deed

Rajasthan government today said action would be taken against those found guilty in the case of illegal transfer ofleasedeedof a cooperative land to a private firm in 2011, which allegedly involves former urban development and housing minister Shanti Dhariwal and retired IAS officer G S Sandhu.
Replying to a question by independent MLA Hanuman Beniwal, Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria informed the House that nine cases related to Jaipur Development Authority are pending with Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) and investigations in the cases are on.
"Those who are involved in the case, be it Shanti Dhariwal or G S Sandhu, action as per law will be taken if found guilty," he said.

Kataria said Dhariwal was called for questioning and ACB collected facts from him.
Sandhu was granted anticipatory bail by the Rajasthan High Court and after that he turned up before the ACB.
He claimed the single lease deed was issued against norms by the JDA.
The leasedeedwas issued by JDA in 2011 but was cancelled in 2013 after objection came from the company partner Manju onsingle deed.
The matter was later probed by ACB which arrested RAS officer Nishkam Diwakar, the company's owner Shailendra Garg and interrogated Shanti Dhariwal in October last year.
