Decorated war hero cheated of huge sum in land deal Six persons accused of cheating former serviceman in land deal at Susgaon
BY YOGESH WAGH @YogeshWagh1857 Former air force official Dilipkumar Kamlakar Parulkar, 72, has filed a case cheating and forgery against six persons. The former war hero bought a piece of land, but was never able to get documents transferred to his name. A complaint has been filed at Alankar police station against six persons under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 420 (cheating), 465 (mischief), 468 (forgery), and 120 (concealing design to commit offence). Parulkar has filed a complaint against Girirajaji Mansingh Chudasama, Vijay Hanumant Mahajani of Shivajinagar, Laxman Mahadev Deore of Mumbai, Nitin Balasaheb Chandere, Harishchandra Dattu Galande of Susgaon, Mulshi, Pune and Raju Kanhu Kalaje. The crime was first registered at Hinjewadi police station and then transferred to Alankar police station. Parulkar bought 90 gunthas of land at Susgaon from Giriraj Chudasama on October 9, 1989, which was registered at Joint District registrar’s office on May 14, 1990. According to the registration, Parulkar is the sole owner of the land. Parulkar went to the talathi office on May 20, 1990 to register his name on the 7/12 extracts. But the talathi allegedly asked for a bribe which Parulkar refused to pay. Parulkar owns another plot adjacent to the land which he had given
on rent to Vidya Valley School. He believed that according to the sale and the information given to the talathi, his name was on the 7/12 extracts. But in November 2011 he realised that his name was not on the documents. He applied again for the registration of his name on the 7/12 extracts on November 21, 2011. He found that the name of the Bank of Karad was on the 7/12 extracts and that Chudasama’s name was on other rights. Parulkar looked into the matter and found that Vijay Mahajani had taken a loan of Rs 9,15,000 from the Bank of Karad in 1984, and that Chudasama was a
guarantor for Mahajani, along with Aravind Rajaram Renuse and Ashok Shantaram Kulkarni. Mahajani was unable to repay the loan and the Bank of Karad filed a civil suit on January 23, 1990. But Parulkar sale was done before January 23, 1990, a fact that Chudasama had not disclosed to the court, to save his other properties. C h u d a s a m a and Mahajani are friends so the latter knew about this deal. Chudasama’s name is still on the 7/12 extracts so for recovery the Bank of Karad seized the land and put its own name on the 7/12 extracts, via a court order dated January 16, 1991. Chudasama and Mahajani did not disclose to the court that Parulkar was the owner of the land. So the question is why the bank seized Chudasama’s property of instead of Mahajani’s. Till 1991, the Bank of Karad was unable to find a buyer for the land for up to Rs ten lakh, and it closed the file. The bank was declared insolvent in 1994 and the Reserve Bank of India appointed Laxman Mahadev Deore as official liquidator for recovery and property disposed by High Court order on July 20, 1994.
