Arundhati's house in Pachmarhi illegal

Arundhati's house in Pachmarhi found illegal​

Bhopal: There's more trouble for writer-activist Arundhati Roy. After a sedition case against her, she's now being accused of living in an illegally constructed house in Madhya Pradesh.
The Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of the area has said the land cannot be transferred in the name of Arundhati Roy.
Arundhati Roy's dream house in Pachmarhi won't be hers now. The house built on a forest land can be inherited but not sold. The house is owned by Arundhati's husband Pradip Kishen in the Panchmarhi Tiger Reserve in Hoshangabad district. They had bought the land from a tribal 18 years back and when the state revenue department objected. They approached the High court which referred the matter back to the department.

"The High Court had referred the matter to the revenue department," said Forest Minister Madhya Pradesh Sartaj Singh.

The land falls within the reserved forest area and according to the rules; those living in the reserved forest areas can inherit property from their parents but are not entitled to sell it to any outsider. Now with the SDM ruling against Arundhati, the state forest department is preparing to take action.

"We will take appropriate action once we get the exact details," said Sartaj Singh.

They can still appeal to the Revenue Commissioner and thereafter to the revenue board but for now the celebrity author and her filmmaker husband will have to live with the fact that their house is illegal.

So after all she too is an 'occupier' grabbing land from the poor tribals she seems to support.

Well I wont read too much into it. Most of the people do a lot of lip service and many do acquire so many illegal property and they are not obvious till they become popular.

Is baar Arundhati magarmach ke munh mein haath dali hai ;-)

India sure knows ways to curb the resenting voices by slaping up the charges.

This phenomenon not uncommon at all. And i will not be surprised if the MP Govt. will have a strong case after all. A lot of land in MP's reserved forests have been taken over by both celebrities and powerful figures. Similar land-grabs have occurred around Khajuraho as well.

I know boss many MPs do such kinda stuff.

But they dont go and support Maoists on the pretext that evil-Hinduised-Corporate India is snatching the land away from the poor Tribals rite. Nor do they dish out 20,000 word balderdash in the Guardian,or Times or the Outlook about it.

That is where this transgression from Tribal crusader Arundati acquires significance.

I studied until my 12th standard at Pachmarhi...very beautiful place...high profile people illegally occupy the forest land. Arundhati is sure for a big trouble

It is not only MPs, my friend; there are all kinds of folks there. None of them deserve any mercy or exemption. Whether they support Maoists or not, they are all transgressors. Starting with Arundhati, the whole lot has to be booted out.
