JAIPUR: A gram panchayat of Kalindri village inSirohi district has served notice to the father of TV anchor Rajiv Khandelwal asking him to deposit the outstanding dues on the commercial construction being done on his land.
Panchayat authorities claimed that the actor's father has not paid the money required to seek Non-objection certificate (NOC) required from the panchayat in such matters.
However, no legal action has been initiated by the panchayat even after completion of the period by which the respondent was to file a reply.
Sarpanch of Kalindri village, Hemlata Sharma, in a notice issued to Lieutenant (Retired) Choga Laland Mohanlal Dalaji Rawal (who has the power of attorney for the construction) on December 24, 2011 said that they should stop the commercial construction on their land.
"Chhoga Lal had sought the NOC from the panchayat three months ago. But the panchayat had replied that to obtain the NOC three months ago, he will have to deposit charges for doing any construction for commercial purpose," Sharma said.
She added that despite the notice from the panchayat, Chhoga Lal started the construction. Despite many warnings, materials for construction were bought and gathered at the site.
"He has begun the construction and ignored the warnings. We will be compelled to initiate legal action against the respondent if he doesn't stop the construction immediately," Sharma said.
In the notice issued to Mohan Lal and Choga Lal, Sharma has said before starting commercial construction, they will have to deposit the commercial charges to the panchayat. "If they fail to do so, legal action would be taken against them," reads the notice.
Terming the construction "illegal", Sharma advised Khandelwal's father to stop the construction work for the time being. "Until the NOC is given, they should not start the construction at the site," she added.
