After the DMK came to power, more than 100 officials were ‘suspended’ and corruption in the Tamil Nadu Deed Registry Department did not decrease; There have been allegations that the transfer of money continues.
After the change of government in Tamil Nadu, it was expected that actions including solving the shortcomings of the registration department would flow. According to this, the minister of the department, Murthy, also conducted a field survey and took action. A special investigation team was formed to investigate the irregularities and based on the investigation, 22 people were ‘suspended’.
This action created hope and confidence among the people. Since then, no concrete steps have been taken to end registration irregularities in the sector. Instead, the ‘suspend’ action is only increasing. When Kumaraguruparan was the IG of the Registration Department, reform measures were taken. Various technological improvements including ‘online’ registration were made. The Registration Act was also amended to prevent registration of public allotments, unauthorized plots and government lands.
His successors, who took over as Secretary and IG of the department, made no effort to root out irregularities and introduce new reforms. After the DMK came to power, more than 100 officials, including more than 60 registrars, have been ‘suspended’ in the registration department.
In the same sector, the officials who have accumulated huge amount of property, especially the officers who registered the unauthorized layouts and the DIG who assisted them, are still working in the ‘glue’ places. During the last ADMK regime, , many people who were close to the then ruling party, now in the DMK, are accused of being close to the VIPs of the department and getting things done. Also, there is a complaint that bribes are being taken again to change jobs.
