Another piece of land in a Dehgam village sold without villagers’ consent

As villagers of Juna Pahadia Dehgam tackle with their village being sold,, another incident has revealed that 1.5 acres in Kalipura, a sub-division under Sapa Gram Panchayat, was sold without the consent of the villagers.

The villagers have taken up this issue with the authorities, and the case is yet to be heard.

Notably, Kalipura sub-village came into existence 50 years ago, and currently, there are about 35 houses in the region. It is also under the same survey number.

While the locals are also beneficiaries of several government assistance schemes, the heirs of the village land owners have made a sale deed of 1.5 acres out of the total 7 acres of land.

The document was registered with the Dehgam sub-registrar’s office last year in April.

The land piece was purchased by three persons residing in Ahmedabad’s Naroda at a price of ₹4.90 lakh.

However, after its interim registration or raw entry, the deal came to the villagers’ attention and they filed a dispute alleging that the sale deed was made without their consent. Based on this, the hearing for this case has been scheduled in the coming days.

In the consecutive matters related to the land sale deeds of two villages in Dehgam, the district administration has now asked the Mamlatdar for a thorough report.

The land measuring 14,597 sq metres was sold through a sale deed with a ₹50 stamp paper and by guarantee agreement.
