Village Panchayat is not to issuing Khata and refusing to receive Yearly property tax of my Plot
Dear Attorneys,
Request your legal opinion on a issue regarding my Plot in Bangalore ,
The Following are the Chronology of events
1) Purchased a Plot in a Gated Community from a partner of a reputed Bangalore Land Developer in December 2019
2) The Property under discussion is Approved by BIAPPA ( Bangalore International Airport Area Planning Authority) papers were vetted by a Local lawyer and I had checked up the veracity with BIAPPA office too
3) Had the Papers checked by ICICI Bank too , The Bank has funded 60% of cost
4) The Plot was registered on my name duly with the Sub-registrar
5) I could not apply for the Khata immediately as I was preoccupied with my work
6) But now when I visited the layout saw a public Notice Board put up by the Village Panchayat that they are stopping issuance of Khata Certificates and yearly accessment of property taxes for the entire layout as the CA Land and Park land relinquished by the Developer to BIAPPA was not owned by the Developer , The Panchayat claims that the CA and Park Land which is the Basis of Approval for the layout was disputed and now the developer does not have rights over it as court Judgement recently (2months Ago) has ruled that it was a SC/ST property and the developer had bought it with in the 15 Year sale ban and hence given it back to the family of the Original Seller ,
6 ) Now a Panchayat member who knew all the Background has acquired the property through his associates after obtaining the necessary clearances , (Karnataka Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prohibition of Transfer of Certain Lands) Act, 1978[1] (Karnataka Act 2 of 1979) or PTCL is a statute of Karnataka.)
7) The Panchayat member is trying to leverage the situation and putting around 200+ Plot owners to trouble
8) I am unable get clearances for starting construction or sell the plot because of the Freeze on Khata Certificate
9) The Developer despite being quite a reputed one is not talking the problem lightly as he has sold all the plots
10) The Layout association is also not very proactive in tackling the issue
11) The new buyer has started cleaning the land and could put up some permanent structures soon
12) Although my plot location is quite away from the disputed parcel of land and not affected but the Panchayat has gone ahead and stopped Khata and Receiving land tax
13) There are talks of some local politicians also getting involved progressively
Please advice on how to get immediate relief , As I am still paying a big monthly EMI to the Bank It is a considerable part of my hard earned Monthly salary
I had bought the property on the basis that it was a duly Approved Layout with out encumbrances, Is it not a Problem to be resolved between BIAPPA/ Panchayat and the Developer instead of putting unsuspecting plot owners to difficulty ,
Thanking you in Anticipation
