When the poor encroach\u00a0government land\u00a0then you opt for traditional methods of measurement. Then why do you have to obtain\u00a0satellite images\u00a0in this case even after\u00a0the court\u2019s specific order,\u201d the bench asked the public prosecutor.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>court<\/strong>\u00a0said if the state government\u2019s land records office was facing any difficulty in measuring\u00a0the land\u00a0then it would direct a central government agency to probe the matter.<\/p>\n<p>The court\u00a0was hearing a petition filed by Gandhinagar resident Ghanshyamsinh Vaghela alleging that IAS officers had encroached 92 hectare land belonging to the Sardar Sarovar Nigam Narmada Limited (SSNNL) and built bungalows on it.<\/p>\n<p>The bench said it would not have entertained such a petition if there was a Lokayukta in the state.<\/p>\n<p>The petition states that the records of this Alloa village land, located close to state capital and estimated to be worth Rs.400 crore, have been manipulated to facilitate encroachment.<\/p>\n<p>According to the petition,\u00a0the land\u00a0was transferred to an association which created Alloa Hill resorts. It was also alleged that\u00a0the land\u00a0was given to SSNNL in 1993 for afforestation but neither was the work carried out nor wasthe land\u00a0returned to\u00a0the government.<\/p>\n<p>The court\u00a0in its last hearing on March 18 ordered the state government\u2019s land records office to probe the allegation, measure\u00a0the land\u00a0and submit a\u00a0survey report.<\/p>\n<p>Following\u00a0the court\u2019s order, the state government Monday filed a\u00a0survey report\u00a0including measurements obtained through satellite.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>court<\/strong>\u00a0has now ordered\u00a0the government\u00a0to submit a fresh report in the next hearing fixed for April 28.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Gujarat High\u00a0Court\u00a0Monday sought a fresh\u00a0survey report\u00a0from\u00a0the government\u00a0over an alleged land scam involving Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers accused of building bungalows on\u00a0government land. \u00a0A division bench of Chief Justice S.J.
