Will court issue process in Serula case today?

North Goa Principal District and Sessions Judge Irshad Agha will on Monday hear arguments by Adv Aires Rodrigues and decide whether process should be issued in the Serula Comuindade land grab case against former tourism Minister Dilip Parulekar and the other two accused -- the then attorney of Comunidade of Serula Peter Martins and then Administrator of Comunidade of Bardez Irene Sequeira.

 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.
