The division bench said that to resolve the problems of the people, a complaint cell should be created in the corporation, which would promptly process the complaints received. The division bench accepted the state government’s request for time. The next hearing of the case will be on October 31.
Advocate General presented the side of the state government
Earlier, Advocate General Rajeev Ranjan, appearing for the state government, told the bench that action has been taken by the enforcement team of Ranchi Municipal Corporation in the matter of blackmailing shopkeepers in the name of trade license. 30 members of the enforcement team have been removed. Five assistant administrators have been authorized to issue online challans. Now the maps of buildings are being passed with the new Auto DCR software. The recruitment process has been started for vacant posts in Ranchi Municipal Corporation, RRDA and other municipal bodies. The process of appointment to 1688 posts is going on. Whereas, Advocate LCN Shahdev appeared on behalf of Ranchi Municipal Corporation, Advocate Prashant Kumar Singh and Amicus Curiae Advocate Inderjit Sinha appeared on behalf of RRDA.
what is the matter
Getting the building plan approved had become a complicated process. Money was demanded for this. If the amount was not paid, the map was not approved. 30 to 50 thousand rupees were charged for a small house and 20-30 rupees per square feet were charged for passing the plan of the apartment. Taking the news published in BollywoodWallah on November 29, 2022 regarding illegal recovery seriously, the Jharkhand High Court had converted it into a writ petition. At the same time, in the last hearing, the court had expressed strong displeasure over the working style of the Municipal Corporation’s enforcement team for blackmailing shopkeepers in the name of trade license.
