Delhi builder in dock for forgery
HERALD REPORTER
Colva Communidade Attorney files case
MARGAO, JUNE 14 — Anti-mega housing activists from Colva tasted yet another success when the Colva police on Saturday registered a case of forgery against a Delhi-based builder for forging of the seal of the local Communidade to obtain NOC for a road passing through Communidade property in Gandaulim.
Colva police station incharge, PI Edwin Colaco said the police has registered a case against the builder, Darshan Khang.
The police acted on a complaint lodged by the Attorney of the Colva and Gandaulim Communi-dade, Vilton D’Costa, who filed the complaint after a preliminary inquiry conducted by the then South Goa Administrator of Communidades, Laura Britto.
PI Colaco said the police will send the seal to the handwriting experts for verification.
Incidentally, the police acted belatedly, even though the residents of Gandaulim had lodged a complaint in April against the Delhi-based firm.
The residents have been demanding action over a NOC produced by the builder purportedly issued by the Colva Communidade for a road access to the mega project.
The residents were emboldened in their battle when the Escrivao of Colva Communidade in his report to the Administrator of Communidades, South categorically stated that there was neither any record in the Communidade office in respect of any application seeking for an NOC nor was there any resolution adopted by the body to issue NOC to pave way for a 8-meter road through its property.
“The Escrivao stated that he had thoroughly verified all the resolutions taken from 2001 to 2003, but could not find any resolution in respect of the NOC from the Communidade produced by the builder before the panchayat.
He further stated that he had not given authority to any member of the managing committee to use the seal of the Communidade of Colva, and quite clearly said the seal used by the Attorney is not genuine.
Incidentally, the Delhi-based builder has already withdrawn his construction file from the Village Panchayat of Colva.
A local activist, Elvis Gomes said the Colva police should now take the case to its logical conclusion and also book the local person, who was involved in helping the builder forge the seal and obtain the NOC on a fake stamp paper.
