Sourav Ganguly, President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and the Government of West Bengal are seen in trouble in the case of the wrong allotment of land. The Calcutta High Court has imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 and Rs 50,000 on both of them respectively. Acting Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal and Justice Arijit Banerjee of the High Court have given this order in the matter of allotment of land outside the rules for a school to Sourav Ganguly in the New Town area of Kolkata.
The former Indian captain wants to run a school in the city's New Town area. For this purpose, he had taken this land from the state government. But the state corporation WB-HIDCO (West Bengal Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation) made this allocation by ignoring the rules, due to which both are now seen in trouble. The Calcutta High Court was hearing a PIL in this matter. It was a case of two and a half acres of land
According to the sources, the court also said that it is not going to cancel the allotment as it is already in a state of surrender. But this fine of 50-50 thousand on the state government and WB-HIDCO can be increased further. In this PIL, it was said that in the matter of allotment of land to Ganguly, the due process was not followed and he was handed over the land by the state government without inviting tenders. However, Ganguly returned it only after seeing his name in controversies.
Let us inform you that for the purpose of opening Sourav Ganguly Bengal government's school, Housing Corporation HUDCO had given this land in the CA block of Salt Lake in the city. However, after the dispute over this, Sourav Ganguly had also returned the land.
