He said over 11,000 orders had been passed between 1976-2005, under the ULCRA, which now stands repealed.<\/p>\n<p>Under the ULCRA, an individual could only hold 500 sq metres land and anything excess in his possession was taken over by the state to house the poor or weaker sections.<\/p>\n<p>Sovani contended that fake bogus orders were issued showing large tracts of land as &#8216;non-surplus&#8217;, and the owners were exempted from surrendering it to the state.<\/p>\n<p>In this, Sovani alleged, senior officials connived with the builders&#8217; lobby to grab huge chunks of prime land in and around Pune.<\/p>\n<p>When the scam was first exposed in 2005 and later the state CID was handed over the probe, one of the beneficiaries had to cough out a fine of Rs 80 million (Rs 8 crore).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the penalty from one accused could enrich the state exchequer by Rs 8 crore, the 300 files awaiting scrutiny by the state CID can yield a lot of money for the state coffers,&#8221; the PIL pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>The figure from this could run into over Rs 300 crore (Rs 3 billion) and the matter needs to be thoroughly probed as it is bigger than the Adarsh Society scam, Sovani said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another land scam in Pune, which could run into over Rs 3 billion, paling the Adarsh Society scam of Mumbai, may be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to probe, a legal official said.
