B KATHA OR B REGISTER ENTRY FOR PROPERTIES WHICH ARE IRREGULAR

THERE IS ONLY ONE KATHA AS PER THE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION ACT AND THERE IS NO LEGAL SANCTITY FOR THE B FORM REGISTER.

APART FROM THE IRREGULARITIES, MANY OTHER ISSUES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE B KATHA OR FORMS.

B KATHA PROPERTIES HAVE ONLY ONE SALE DEED AND AS SOON AS IT IS REGULARISED, TITLE DISPUTES MAY ARISE. IT IS ISSUED ON ANY SALE DEED PERTAINING TO THE JURISDICTION AND THE PAYMENT OF UP TO DATE TAXES AND HAS NO LEGAL VALIDITY AND IT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AS EVIDENCE IN THE COURT OF LAW

THE GOVERNMENT MAY NOTIFY THE AKRAMA-SAKRAMA SOON, ELIGIBLE B KATHA PROPERTIES CAN BE REGULARISED.

BUT, THE AKRAMA SAKRAMA SCHEME WILL BE CHALLENGE IN THE COURT ONCE AGAIN AND IF IT IS NOT SUCCESSFUL WILL REACH SUPREME COURT OF INDIA FOR `STAY ORDER`.

CONVERSION OF ILLEGAL `B` KATHA TO REGULAR AND LEGITIMATE `A` KATHA IN BBMP RECORDS AT BANGALORE????

THERE ARE INNUMERABLE PROPERTY OWNERS WHO HAVE PROPERTIES WHICH HAVE TITLE DISCREPANCIES, ILLEGAL OR FAKE CONVERSION ORDERS AND LANDS WHICH HAVE FAKE OR BOGUS APPROVALS, BUT TO THE SURPRISE OF ALL, IN THE SAME AREA OR LOCALITY, OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE `A` KATHA AND SOME HAVE `B` KATHA.

IT IS LEARNT THAT `A` KATHA FOR SUCH SITES ARE ISSUED ON THE MISREPRESENTATION OF FACTS AND FAKE DOCUMENTS. IF INVESTIGATED, IT WILL BE CANCELLED AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT ISSUING ANY NOTICE.

THERE ARE AGENTS WHO PROMISE TO CONVERT THE NOTORIOUS AND BLOODY `B` TO `A`KATHA AND SOME HAVE SUCCEEDED.

ALL THE `B` KATHA PROPERTY OWNERS, IN ORDER TO KNOW THE LEGALITY OF THEIR PROPERTY TITLE, MUST THOROUGHLY EXAMINE AND VERIFY ALL THE RECORDS AT THE CONCERNED OFFICES AND IF IT IS A GENUINE TITLE AND IF IT IS A SINGLE PIECE OR PLOT OR SITE WHICH WAS CONVERTED FOR RESIDENTIAL USE, CAN PAY BETTERMENT CHARGES AND GET THE LEGITIMATE `A` KATHA.

OTHERS HAVE TO WAIT FOR `AKRAMA-SAKRAMA`.

IT IS EXPECTED TO BE CLEARED SOON BUT, IT MAY BE CHALLENGED AGAIN IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA.

SOME APARTMENTS IN BOMMANAHALLY ZONE HAVE `A` KATHA, INSPITE OF 100% DEVIATION AND VIOLATION, FEW SUCH APARTMENT BLOCKS ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION FROM LOK AYUKTA POLICE AND THEIR KATHA WILL BE UNDER SCRUTINY AND THE SALE DEED EXECUTED ON THE BASIS OF THE `A` KATHA WILL ALSO BE EXAMINED.



A FEW INTELLIGENT CHEATS WHO HAVE OBTAINED `A` KATHA FOR SUCH ILLEGAL AND UNAUTHORISED CONSTRUCTION HAVE SOLD THE APARTMENTS AND GOT AWAY. ONE SUCH SELLER HAS BEEN BOOKED  BY THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES AND THE SALE DEED EXECUTED IS UNDER JUDICIAL REVIEW.  THE BANK ACCOUNT OF THE SELLER MAY BE FROZEN AND HAS TO SEEK BAIL. IF HE/SHE IS AN EMPLOYEE, THE MATTER WILL BE INTIMATED TO THE COMPANY, THEREBY THEY MIGHT ALSO LOSE THEIR JOBS.

UNAUTHORISED LAYOUTS/BUILDINGS WITHOUT SANCTIONED PALNS REGULARISATION IN KARNATAKA

IT APPEARS THAT THE CABINET HAS TAKEN A DECISION TO PERMIT/ALLOW `B` FORM PROPERTIES TO BE REGISTERED TO GENERATE REVENUE AND HAS REPLIED TO THE OBJECTIONS RAISED BY THE GOVERNOR FOR THE REGULARISATION OF UNAUTHORISED LAYOUTS.

THE PICTURE IS STILL VERY HAZY AND NOT CLEAR.

THIS AMENDMENT MAY ALSO `BECOME` A `SUBJECT` TO THE JUDICIARY`S `DELIBERATION`.
