Regarding your question , according to a press report in Goa Plus on Rear Admiral Sinha on July 16, 2004, the Dabolim airfield was apparently taken over by the Ministry of Defence after liberation and handed over to the Indian Navy in April 1962 'for its use and also acting as the custodian on behalf of the Government of India'.
Hope this information will be of use. Look forward to your continuing interest and support.
Very interesting. We seem to be getting closer to the issue.
I learnt at a conference in Bangalore that Indian governments do not follow the double-entry principle of book-keeping. If I understood it right, this means that while they know how much revenue and expenditure is expected in the year ahead, they wouldn't know what assets and liabilities have been created over a long period of time. Or even where their money has been spent.
Inspite of this, wouldn't there be some record of ownership of some agreement under which the airport was handed over? FN
