Dated 4th Feb 2013,
Hyderabad.
Dear Electronic/TV and Print Media friends,
As you all have been watching the high drama unfolded last week during the police swamp down on Dr.P.Shankar Rao to question him on land grab, forgery, fraud and falsification case related Green Fields lands, I have called this Press Meet/Press Conference to clarify and elaborate few issues as follows. Moreover, the press meet by both brother of Dr.Rao, Mr.Dayanand and daughter of Dr.Rao Ms.Sushmita are with full of distortions and must be clarified to clear the doubts in the minds of the people.
- What is the proof that we have on Dr.Shankar Rao involvement in this Green Fields Land Grab?
We have seen today Ms. Sushmita statement in news papers and also in electronic media saying that Dr.P.Shankar Rao, the present MLA and ex sacked minister ( who is her father) is not in any way involved with Green Fields land grab. If that is true, how come the 3 letters written by Dr.P.Shankar Rao, 29th Nov 2008, 10th June 2009 and 30th July 2009 have surfaced in government records? We have attached the same for your information. Is this is also part of the government conspiracy to defame a Dalit, who is cheating saying that these are his lands?
- Was government officials are threatened on these lands by Dr.P.Shankar Rao?
Yes. Even the MRO/Tahasildhar, Malkajgiri Mandal Mr.Narasimha Rao reported the threats’ from Dr.P.Shankar Rao to the RR Dist Collector vide his letter No B/855/2012 dated 1st June 2012 saying that when the Mandal staff was demolishing the illegally constructed walls on government lands, Dr.Shankar Rao not only used abusive language on his staff but also threatened them ( staff and MRO ) with dire consequences once he become CM of the state. Till today, the Revenue officials have not booked criminal cases on him due to fear of the MLA. Why government or RR Dist Collector has not taken the cognizance of his threats and booked criminal cases? Why the illegal structures have been demolished till today? Why Dayanand was not arrested for these violations? Is it due to fear? Even Land Protection (LP) cell has not acted our several complaints.
- Was these lands were Dalits? Was these are government statements?
These lands were under Protected Tenancy in the name of Mr.Rajalingam (who appears to be a dalit) and were surrendered to the government by their family in the year 1953 and 1955 as per the government records under the old survey number 289. These details were confirmed by the JC orders Nos B3/6620/96 dated 18th April 1998, B3/1137/97 dated 20th April 1998, B3/6182/96 dated 18th April 1998 and F1/4578/98 dated 29th April 2002. These are the very reasons, the Occupancy Rights Certificates (ORC) issued fraudulently by RDO/ Inam Tribunal was cancelled by the Joint Collector RR Dist after detailed investigation and declared as government lands. All these orders, including the JC, RR Dist order No F1/4578 23rd April 2002 can be obtained from the office of the Collector RR Dist.
- AP High Court common judgment WP 11777 of 2002 dated 29th Dec 2005 is in favor of the government, which Mr.Dayanand and Dr.P.Shankar Rao are twisting the words in their favor for unlawful gains through their letters.
The above said common order, which attained finality on these lands at AP High Court level, says that these lands were government lands. But the criminal minded Dr.P.Shankar Rao and his brother are twisting these orders to their convenience. The order says “Admittedly, it was a jagir village with imams, grant and the protected tenancy already stood surrendered and therefore, the question of claiming any independent rights by the Government does not arise. Even otherwise, no such claim has been put forward by the Government in any manner whatsoever. That apart, surprisingly, the said finding is given for the first time in the order without petitioners or any of the parties who were appearing before the appellate authority were given any notice thereof or being heard as such. Even now, it is not the case of the authorities that the Government has got its own independent rights. Having regard to the nature of proceedings and their restricted scope, the only question remain before the authorities was as to whether the occupancy rights can be granted, which has to be found on the basis of possession of the claimants who applied for. Therefore, the said scope cannot be widened giving a finding, which goes beyond the very dispute and the nature of powers conferred under the particular legislation. Apparently, having rejected the claim of all the persons, the appellate authority appears to have held that the land belongs to the Government. In the circumstances, we hold that such a finding is wholly unsustainable. However, irrespective of the fact that we disagree with such a finding, all these cases do not merit any consideration nor make out any case warranting interference of the impugned orders”. These words were twisted to his favor. But at the same time, why was again applied in the Apex Court and that too when they say that it is in their favor and why they went to Apex Court with one SLP, one Review and one Curative Petition on full bench?
- What were old Survey Numbers and the extent of lands which were surrendered by the so called Dalit PTs?
While the so called PTs surrendered all these 87.24 acres under old survey No 289 in the year 1953 and 1955 as per the government records and details given below, the Inam, who was the one who subdivided these lands as per the survey numbers given below. How come they are claiming now that they have ORC on these numbers? How they got ORC on these numbers which was not even know when they surrendered?
New Survey No

- Have the so called Dalits PTs have been compensated by the Green Fields?
Yes, all the 42 family members of the so called dalits, who sold these government lands to Dr.Shankar Rao, also sold these government lands to us without even telling us that they sold these lands to Dr.Rao and blackmailed us with cases and collected Rs.58.05 lakhs as their compensation. The agreement was signed by us on 30th April 1995 and 29th Feb 1996 and same was recorded in the RR Dist Collector proceedings No B4/8180/94 dated 24th June 1996. Hence the claim on these lands was withdrawn. Now how come they are claiming the lands as theirs after selling 2 times to others? The agreement copies can be had on request. If having cheated and sold government lands, why the government has not booked the criminal cases on these cheaters, who sold these government lands till now?
Coming to the drama unfolded on his health. The SOP is that all those who are generally arrested or taken into custody for interrogation, will be produced in front of the magistrate and if his health is not permitting, he will be taken to government hospitals and the government doctors will certify his health. Why such SOP was not followed by the police here? Why police let him off and allowed him to go to the hospital of his choice? Why police has succumbed to political pressures when so many IPC non-bailable sections are pending against the culprits? Why police has not followed it up with courts to get arrest warrants? Why officials of the revenue department were not summoned to records their statement on these frauds since all these records are with them?
Our conclusion:
We are sure that the police have come under political pressure and let off Dr.P.Shankar Rao and police must seek court permission to act now or must hand over the case to CBI to deliver justice.
Our appeal:
We wanted the government to arrest all these 5 booked culprits and also book cases on 42 others who sold these government lands immediately and arrest them and demolish their illegal houses and compound walls, constructed on these government lands.
Thanking you, with regards,
Yours sincerely,
For Green Fields Plot Owners Association,
S.Chandrasekhar.
President cum General Secretary.
Former minister Dr Shankar Rao who triggered CBI raids and case against YS Jagan in the DA case is now in big trouble. The Cyberabad police may arrest former minister and Secunderabad (Cantonment) MLA Dr P Shankar Rao as the AP High Court has vacated the stay on his arrest in connection with a land grabbing case in Greenfield Colony at Kanajiguda village under Malkajgiri police stations limits.
