Panchkula, August 4

The court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Rajnish Kumar Sharma today rejected the anticipatory bail applications of HCS officer Dinesh Yadav and three others, including the then tehsildar and naib tehsildars, in the Kalka shamlat land fraud case.

DR Kaurib, an HCS officer who was posted as Ferozpur Jhirka SDM, is lodged at the Ambala jail in the case.

The bail pleas of Ishwar Chand, the then Kalka tehsildar, Surinder, the then naib tehsildar posted in the office of the LAO, and Dhoop Singh, the then naib tehsildar, were rejected. The Kalka court had earlier issued non-bailable warrants of the three accused.

DR Kairon had landed in the police net when he came to see the proceedings in the case as the closure report was already filed by the CM flying squad in the court. He was unaware of the fact that the court had rejected the cancellation report and issued arrest warrants of all the accused. On the last hearing of the case, Kairon’s judicial custody was extended by the court till August 12.

It was after the complainant, Vandana Disodia, the then Kalka SDM, said she was not satisfied with the cancellation report filed by the CM’s flying squad that the warrants against the accused were issued.

In her report on various Kalka villages in 2011, Vandana Disodia stated that how within a few days, the Tehsil Office intimated about the share of people in the ‘shamlat’ land, which was in violation of the HUDA rules. She stated that compensation was distributed in no time even as the procedure of deciding individual shares took time. The shares were declared by the office of the Kalka tehsildar without the collectors’ order.

Later, the Haryana Lokayukt ordered a probe on May 13, 2013.
