Bidar: The Karnataka Land Grabbing Prohibition Special Court in Bengaluru has ordered the issuance of a bailable warrant against the Bidar Deputy Commissioner after the district administration failed to submit a report in a government land grabbing case involving Aurad BJP MLA Prabhu Chauhan.
The warrant, issued with a surety bond of ₹1 lakh, also directs the District Superintendent of Police to ensure compliance with the court’s directive.
The case revolves around allegations that MLA Prabhu Chauhan created fraudulent documents to encroach upon 3 acres and 19 guntas of government land located in survey number 102 of Kolara (B) village, under the jurisdiction of Kapalapur Gram Panchayat in Bidar taluk.
The complaint was lodged by Deepak Patil, the former president of Chandori Gram Panchayat in Aurad taluk, who accused Chauhan of fabricating documents to claim ownership of the land.
Apart from Chauhan, the case also implicates several government officials, including the Deputy Commissioner, Deputy Divisional Commissioner, Tahsildar, Additional Director of Land Records, and Sub-Registrar.
The complaint alleges that these officials collaborated with Chauhan in the land encroachment and demands legal action against all involved, along with the restoration of the land to the government.
The court initially recorded Deepak Patil’s statement on October 5, 2024, and directed the Deputy Commissioner to submit a report on the matter by December 12, 2024.
Following delays, the deadline was extended to February 21, 2025, and later to March 13, 2025. However, with no report forthcoming, the court has now taken strict action, ordering a bailable warrant against the Deputy Commissioner to ensure compliance with its orders.
