Judiciary that fell prey to fake encounter
As expected, all 22 accused in Sohrabuddin murder case have been acquitted for lack of evidence. In some way, it looks like the culprits themselves argued their own cases and declared themselves innocent. How can we even dream of the culprits being punished when the courts, CBI, and other investigation agencies are under the claws of mighty and powerful who are siding with the accused? Amit Shah’s name was in the forefront when it came to Sohrabuddin's murder case. If fake encounter is proved, it will mean along with the officers who executed the plan, even the leaders who ordered the killing will face jail time. One of the main accused in this case had said before the media that if these charges are proved, many others would face prison along with him.
This was an indirect threat he had issued to the leaders in Delhi. Now even the small foot soldiers in this case have been issued a clean chit. This directly means those sitting in Delhi have heaved a sigh of relief. The main investigating officer in this case had long ago revealed to the media that justice may not be done in this case for many reasons. Not only this, the government itself tried to silence the investigation officer because he knew the details of Sohrabuddin encounter and the people who masterminded it.
About 13 years ago, owing to relentless crusade by a Gujarati police officer Vasant Lalji Bhai Solanki, the killings of Sohrabuddin, his wife Kausar Bi and their assistant Tulsiram Prajapati's deaths came to light.After a long inquiry, Solanki submitted a report calling these deaths fake encounters and named every police officer who was behind these murders. Solanki had mentioned that Amit Shah was also part of these deaths and their planning, along with everyone else who had worked to end these lives. But this whole effort was reduced to dust after CBI took up this case. Ironically, government withdrew the security cover given to Solanki. He could not even visit the court. He told the media that “if a judge who was sitting on this case could die ever so suddenly, I am a retired police officer. People who are desperate to get a clean chit, can do anything for to clear up their own name.”
Solanki remembered that when Justice Brij Gopal Harikishan Loya died on December 1, 2014 in Nagpur, his security cover had been withdrawn just few days prior to that. Sohrabuddin encounter is significant for many reasons because he wasn't killed for the fact that he was a criminal. He was witness to a prominent Gujarati businessman's murder and that caused his death by murder that was plotted by the same forces. This news has been out in th media since long. Sohrabuddin knew details of the death of Gujarati BJP leader Harem Pandya's murder. He had shared with his accomplices that the death of Pandya was ordered from 'higher ups’ above.
Now why Pandya was killed is another aspect altogether. Pandya who had rebelled from the BJP had revealed the role of Gujarat government behind the muslim massacre. He had very significant information about this genocide. Reports of investigation say Pandya was murdered for the very reason. Everybody knows who was the CM and home minister around the time when these killings took place. If the culprits of Sohrabuddin murder are killed, even those who were involved in Pandya case would be brought to book as well. And the details of Gujarat genocide would be out on the open too. This would sound a death knell for Modi and Amit Shah. When things are this complicated, how can we expect Sohrabuddin encounter to be done justice to?

Deputy CM Shivakumar announces property ownership drive in Bengaluru
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar announced a major property ownership drive here aimed at correcting and regularising property records, saying the government had already rectified 23 lakh Khatas and enabled citizens to download their documents online.
Shivakumar, who also holds the Bengaluru Development portfolio, said the state government had begun converting B-Khatas into A-Khatas and would organise special Khata camps every Saturday across corporation limits from May 16 to help citizens secure their property documents.
A Khata is a legal document in Bengaluru certifying that a property complies with all local by-laws, regulations and has paid property taxes to the civic body.
“We have already corrected 23 lakh khatas and provided an opportunity for people to download them,” he said.
Shivakumar explained that the major campaign has been undertaken in Bengaluru to streamline property documentation.
The Deputy Chief Minister said between five and 10 centres would be set up in every corporation area as part of the “Khata Andolana” programme and urged citizens to participate in large numbers.
“I appeal to people to safeguard their property documents. We have created an opportunity for all citizens,” he said.
Calling it a "people-centric" initiative, Shivakumar said the government was working to ensure citizens received proper ownership documentation for their properties.
Shivakumar further claimed that the initiative had drawn national attention and said the Union government had recognised Karnataka with an award for the programme.
“Your Khata is your right. Obtain your Khata and protect yourself from fraud,” he said, while urging people to take advantage of the scheme.
