Inquiry Ordered By Uddhav Thackeray Against Guru Nanak Hospital Takes Serious Turn
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has ordered a preliminary inquiry into the issue of land allotment to the Guru Nanak Dev Hospital Trust and the manner in which the institution is being sought to be hijacked by vested interests
It is learnt from reliable sources that whereas
the Principal Secretary in the Maharashtra Chief Minister’s office began the probe against the functioning of the Guru Nanak Dev trust and Charitable Hospital, more and more murky dealings, internecine political fights, internal battles over money have begun to see the light of day
It all began when the then Government allotted land to the Sri Guru Singh Sabha (a public trust-Regd F-34) on 9/4/53 and societies regd 1291 dt 21/4/44 and measuring 16722.54 SQ. METERS (REFER SUBURBAN COLLECTOR LETTER -C/DEST-3D/379/3/3/2004 . VIDE ON 20/7/2009 REGISTRATION OF LAND REGISTRATION NO BADAR 15 -6542/2009)
THE said land WAS GIVEN TO Shri Guru Nanak Quin Centenary Memorial Hospital Trust- Guru Nanak Hospital- Bandra east Regd-no- E-4599- Bandra East. CTS NO 629/1238 SURVEY NO 341 without any transfer deed/agreement/Govt authorisation as in how can land allotted to one Trust be transferred to another Trust without due process?
And can it be transferred at all?
When questions were raised on the same by Trustees and others an attempt was allegedly made fraudulently to legalise a transaction that had never been sanctioned by the Government of Maharashtra in the first place and seems to have no basis in law
A COMPLAINT was filed AGAINST Trustee MANJIT SINGH BHATTI ON 19/8/13 FOR CLAIMING THAT ” GURU SINGH SABHA” IS NOW CALLED ” Guru Nanak Quin Centenary Memorial Hospital Trust- Guru Nanak Hospital- Bandra east” ON 20/7/2009 REGISTRATION OF LAND REGISTRATION NO BADAR 15 -6542/2009, AT BHOIWADA POLICE STATION AND IMPERSONATING AS “GENERAL SECRETARY” WHEN THE GENERAL SECRETARY in fact WAS a MR KULWANT SINGH U/S 405, 415, 416, 419, AND 463 OF IPC BY CHARANJIT SINGH CHADHA- GS OF GURU SINGH SABHA AND ADV ASHISH U MISHRA, SUBSEQUENTLY BY SWARJIT SINGH MEHTA DATED 22/2/16
SUMMONS for the same were issued BY BHOIWADA POLICE DATED: 29/2/16 TO MANJIT SINGH BHATTI
Manjit Singh Bhatti who is now General Secretary of the Guru Singh Sabha (do remember he was not General Secretary at the time he is alleged to have transferred the land) claims he is being wrongly accused and harassed
However the fact remains the Sri Guru Singh Sabha disputes the transfer process itself. Almost 18 acres of prime land seems to have been taken over by a Hospital Trust wherein the legal sanction is untenable; and since it abuts the most expensive commercial area of Mumbai in its Northern suburbs the suspicion is lakhs of crores will be made by unscrupulous scamsters in its commercial development
A large number of NGOs and others have prayed to the Govt Of Maharashtra that the allotment of land to the Guru Nanak Hospital be canceled and the land revert to the State!
Meanwhile the Chairman of the Guru Nanak Dev Hospital Trust Sarabjit Singh and the Convenor Bhupinder Singh Minhas have been at loggerheads to the detriment of the Hospital administration
It may be recalled that Bhupinder Singh Minhas is a cousin of Congress leader and former close associate of Gurudas Kamath Amarjeet Singh Minhas who is now the Chairman of the Co-ordination Committee
Of the Mumbai Regional Congress Committee
Bhupinder Singh Minhas is said to be close to Baba Ramdev and is on the Board of the Huzoor Saheb Trust at Nanded as well
