Karnataka High Court issues notice to NHAI on plea against collection of toll at Nagasandra toll plaza on Tumakuru Road
A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice C.M. Joshi passed the order on the petition filed by A.V. Amaranathan, a city-based advocate.
Alleging that crores of rupees has been collected as toll since 2021, the petitioner has sought a direction from the court to the NHAI to submit the details of the toll collected since 2021.
The petitioner has also claimed that the plaza is situated inside Bengaluru city and hence the collection of toll is illegal, besides contending that for travelling about 5 km, from Guruguntepalya till Nagasandra where the plaza is located, commuters will have to pay ₹40.
It has also been complained in the petition that the NHAI has not provided him the response to the applications filed under the RTI seeking various details on toll collection and contract period.

Orissa High Court nullifies fraudulent land sale, protects SC heirs in Keonjhar case
CUTTACK: In a significant judgment, the Orissa High Court has nullified a series of disputed land transactions involving undivided joint property in Baniapat Khuntapada, Keonjhar district, citing serious irregularities, fraud, and violation of Scheduled Caste rights. Justice SK Panigrahi, in his order on July 18, held the sale deeds and all derivative rights arising from them as invalid, directing a freeze on compensation disbursement to the buyers of the land which was later acquired for a national highway project. He also directed the collector of Keonjhar to launch an inquiry into the lapses and initiate disciplinary action against erring officials, if necessary. The case revolves around 4.40 acre of ancestral not partitioned land jointly owned by three brothers and three sisters belonging to a Scheduled Caste family. The three sisters Srimati Sethi, Saraswati Sethy and Malati Behera approached the court after being excluded from a series of sales of portions of the land executed between 2011 and 2014 by their brothers without their consent. Advocate Dayananda Mohapatra represented the petitioners. The land was sold to Dillip Kumar Pati, a member of the general caste, via a dubious intermediary Balaram Patra, a daily wage labourer and BPL cardholder with no visible means to conduct transactions worth crores. The court noted that Patra's role raised serious concerns suggestive of a potentially orchestrated pattern of irregularity. The court found that original executants Tulasi and Maheswar Sethy were illiterate and likely unaware of the legal implications of the thumb impression-based sale deeds. The transactions, Justice Panigrahi stated, appeared to be part of a carefully engineered arrangement designed to exclude lawful coparceners (equal shareholders). The land was later acquired for a National Highway project in 2015, with Rs 6.96 crore initially disbursed as compensation which was later on appeal enhanced to Rs 21.08 crore. While disposing of the petition, the high court has now directed the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) not to release any compensation to Dillip or his nominees, and recover any funds already paid. NHAI has been asked to initiate an apportionment process with participation from all rightful heirs. Mutation entries in Dillip's name have also been suspended pending lawful partition.

High court glare on property deals
Cuttack: Orissa high court has struck down multiple land transactions involving portions of 4.40 acres of undivided ancestral property in Baniapat Khuntapada and Keonjhar, citing deliberate exclusion of heirs, as well as procedural manipulation. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Accordingly, the court directed Keonjhar district collector to conduct an inquiry into the irregularities and initiate disciplinary action against erring officers. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has also been directed not to release any compensation for the land that was acquired for a highway project and recover any disbursed funds. In the order on July 18, Justice S K Panigrahi declared the sale deeds and all subsequent transfers "vitiated" and legally invalid, observing that the transactions appeared to be a "carefully engineered arrangement" to deprive lawful coparceners (equal shareholders) of their rights. Portions of the land — jointly inherited by three brothers and three sisters — were sold between 2011 and 2014 by two of the brothers without the consent of their sisters. Things became complicated after the land was notified for acquisition in 2015 for a national highway project. An initial compensation of Rs 6.96 crore was awarded, but on appeal, it was enhanced to Rs 21.08 crore. The three sisters then approached the court. The court took note of the fact that the land was routed through Balaram Patra, a daily wage labourer and BPL cardholder, to Dillip Kumar Pati, a buyer from the general caste. "It is difficult to reconcile how a person of limited means could execute crores-worth transactions in months," Justice Panigrahi observed. Justice Panigrahi also came down heavily on the revenue authorities for granting sale permissions and processing mutations without proper scrutiny. "The role of revenue officials reflects not just negligence, but raises a reasonable apprehension of institutional complicity," the court said.

Cooperative dept role key in implementation
Rajamahendravaram: The Cooperative Department has a crucial role to play in effectively implementing the Right to Information (RTI) Act, said East Godavari District Cooperative Officer M Venkataramana. Addressing a district-level awareness programme on the RTI Act, organised at the Aryapuram Urban Cooperative Bank's conference hall, he noted the significance of cooperative societies as grassroots institutions that work closely with the public. Venkataramana urged Public Information Officers (PIOs) to be fully aware of key provisions such as Section 7, which mandates timely responses to RTI applications, and Section 19, which deals with the appeal process. He warned that delays or denial of information could lead to penalties and disciplinary action under Section 20. District Cooperative Audit Officer M Jagannatha Reddy stressed the importance of a transparent and timely information system and said staff should be well-versed with the Act to serve the public more efficiently. Divisional Cooperative Officer M Kanakadurgareddy explained the exemptions under Section 8 of the RTI Act, which prohibit the disclosure of information related to national security, strategic interests, trade secrets, or personal privacy. Ramadas Cooperative Training College Principal Srinivas explained that as per Section 20, officials could be fined ₹250 per day for delays in providing information, with a maximum penalty of ₹25,000. He also underlined the mandatory disclosure of information related to corruption and human rights violations. The awareness session was attended by PIOs, appellate officers, and supporting staff from various cooperative institutions across the district.
