The civic bodies of Dera Bassi, Lalru and Zirakpur have launched an investigation into the matter of fake NOCs for the registration of plots, thereby causing a loss of crores to the Local Government Department over the past year and a half.
The police have registered a case of fraud and criminal conspiracy against unidentified persons in connection with the fake NOCs allegedly issued by the Dera Bassi Municipal Council office for the registration of plots and properties at the tehsil office since the beginning of this year. A case has been registered under Sections 406, 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B of the IPC following a complaint by the Dera Bassi Municipal Council Executive Officer.
After coming to power, the AAP government had put in place a condition that no registries would take place without an NOC from a competent authority so that the plot holders were not duped. A plot owner requires an NOC for the registration of their property.
