According to the Mapusa police with whom the case has been registered, Edwin D'Souza from Saligao has complained that the accused Teresa D'Souza aged 62 from Saligao has fraudulently made a bogus power of attorney and sold the property which was actually allotted to him, to another person. In his complaint to the police, Edwin has stated that one Annapaul D'Souza from Saligao but staying at Singapore had expired in 1985. Before she passed away she had transferred her property through her will to Edwin's father. The property of Annapaul located at Sangolda in Saligao bearing survey number 91/12 and measuring 875 sq metres was transferred as per her will to Edwin's father. The complainant further states that Annapaul also died and so also her three children, while on the other hand this side Edwin also claims to have lost his father due to which the property automatically came to him. The complaint states that inspite of the prevailing situation the accused Teresa on January 15 this year allegedly made a false power of attorney in the name of Annapaul, even allegedly putting down Annapaul's forged signature and by doing so the said property was sold to one John Sequeira from Mumbai in the same month. Edwin said in the complaint that when he noticed that his property had fraudulently been sold and a house was likely to come up, he immediately informed the Mapusa police. The Mapusa police swung into action and arrested Teresa and booked her under section 467 and 471 of IPC. Meanwhile Police sources have suspected the involvement of some advocates, notaries and even Sub Registrar officials in this big racket. Police sources wonder why such an important document such as power of attorney is made by the Sub Registrar office without verifying facts and actually ascertaining who is the real owner and if the real owner is alive or dead and if his permission is actually taken for this deal. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- **** http://www.GOANET.org **** --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tri Continental Film Festival 2008 July 25 - 30, 2008 Goa, India http://www.moviesgoa.org/page/tri_continental/ http://www.moviesgoa.org/tricon/schedule_2008.pdf ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
