Karnataka Orders Cancellation of 1,100 Mysuru MUDA Site Allotments
The Karnataka government has told MUDA to cancel about 1,100 land-site allotments in Mysuru.
These sites were given through a 50:50 scheme for people whose land was acquired.
The sites are estimated to be worth around Rs 2,000 crore.
The government says the allotments broke a rule issued on March 14, 2023.
Officials must try to take back sites that were already allotted.
They must not issue sale deeds for sites that have not yet been registered.
Local bodies have also been told to stop or cancel related khatas.
The government may ask civil courts to cancel sale deeds that were already registered.
Officials will review older allotments to see whether they also involved irregularities.
The Karnataka government ordered cancellation of around 1,100 MUDA alternative-site allotments in Mysuru.
The sites, allotted under the 50:50 compensation scheme, are estimated to be worth about Rs 2,000 crore.
The allotments allegedly violated a government directive issued on March 14, 2023, that barred such allocations.
Authorities must reclaim allotted sites, halt unissued sale deeds, and withhold or cancel related khatas.
The government may file civil suits to cancel registered sale deeds and will review earlier allotments for irregularities.
