Caught during surprise visit; had given system access to unauthorised persons.
A
joint sub-registrar was suspended on Thursday. The move follows a surprise visit of a squad led by deputy inspector general of registration (IGR) and deputy controller of stamps on Tuesday, which exposed a big scam in which registration officials are making a mockery of the entire system.
Joint sub-registrar AK Nandkar posted at the office Haveli No. 22 at Erandwane was suspended. State inspector general of registration and controller of stamps (IGR) Shravan Hardikar issued the order. A serious view has been taken as the subregistrar offices (
property registration offices) under the IGR are sensitive offices as lakhs of properties are registered and the ownership transferred. The offices give maximum revenue to run the state economy.
