PANAJI
The Court in December last year while rejecting the plea of the Crime Branch to
close the case against Parulekar had taken cognizance of the complaint filed by Adv Rodrigues.
On a petition filed by Adv Rodrigues, the Mapusa JMFC on January 16, 2014, had directed the Porvorim police to register an FIR against former Tourism Minister
Parulekar, Peter Martins and Irene Sequeira for offences under sections 119, 120, 420 read with 120-B of the Indian Penal Code. The investigation of the case was later transferred to the Crime Branch.
Adv Rodrigues in his complaint had drawn the Court’s attention that the 599 sq mts of prime land on the Chogm Road at Porvorim was given away to Dilip Parulekar
without any auction
and without following the procedure contemplated under
the Code of Comunidades and that the whole intention
was to fraudulently
facilitate doling out prime Communidade land to Dilip Parulekar.
