Dear Ignatius, My particular post was targetted to Goans intentionally & indiscrimately selling land for the SOLE purpose of realising huge profits.
You case as you put it is a clear case of cheating/betrayal and not in the scope of the people I have address; I sympathise but we have to appreciate that this trait is present among other communities Of course restriction in land sales, revision of tenancy act etc can help address your type of cases as the opportunity to make huge profits by rogues cheating innocent people will diminish, Regards, Arwin From: ignatius fernandes <[email protected]> Dear Arwin, We (my two brothers and I) owned a piece of land in Dicarpale near Navelim, it was an ancestral land bequeathed to us by our paternal grandfather. We reside in U.K. for a number of years. Now on this land resides a self styled mundkar who has been a thorn in our side for over thirty years. He has filed cases after cases against us so we have to have a permanent advocate to deal with his cases which is a constant drain of our resources. The reason he happened to occupy our land was, that my mum felt sorry for his grandmother when she came crying to my mum saying she has no place to stay after she was kicked out by her sister-in-law.He boasted and bragged that he would get the the whole property for nothing since he knew the local sarpanch and the local M.L.A. So in 2007 we sold the property o a bulder for a song (12laks altogether plus a flat) We left him a 300sq meter area for him to buy at a later date, he wants to pay 50 rupees per sq meter. Now we would never sell the place if this person would not have pressurised us.Now what do you suggest us to do please inform me, I am open to suggestions. Regards Ignatius Fernandes
