JHANG, May 18: The Jhang district coordination officer has ordered an inquiry against a tehsildar and patwari of Ahmadpur tehsil for their alleged involvement in fraudulent transfer of a woman’s agricultural land to her husband.
Mrs Rehana Nishat, at present residing at F block of Johar Town, Lahore, filed a petition with the DCO stating that she owned 46 acres land in Guddara village which she had inherited from her father. The tenants were cultivating the land as she was residing in Lahore in connection with the studies of her children.
She stated that her husband Mumtaz Qaiser, with whom her relations were strained, in connivance with Tehsildar Faiz Ahmad Naul, posted at Garh Maharaja and patwari Mumtaz Ahmad, prepared a bogus sale deed on her behalf and fraudulently executed it in favour of her husband. For the purpose, her husband produced another woman as his wife and the tehsildar knowingly verified the deed after accepting huge amount as bribe.
The DCO ordered DO (revenue) to hold an inquiry and report within one week.
