Ranchi: Due to the impact of the ED raids registration of land and flats in the Jharkhand capital did not take place on the second consecutive day on Saturday.
A short visit to the registration office at Kutchery suggested that sub-registrar Vibhavmani Tripathi remained absent while there was no one to execute registration work though as many as 20 properties were listed for registration.
Sub-registrar had come for 10 minutes around 3 pm but registration work was not done). Work will be done from Monday, an official of the registration office said. It is expected from the administration to depute someone in the absence of a sub-registrar for registration as it not only helps the government earn revenue in the form of the registration fee but also helps common people like me earn something by helping people getting registration work properly, an official said.
Deputy commissioner (DC) Rahul Kumar Sinha admitted the situation saying he is going to issue an official order following which the man next to the sub-registrar will automatically take charge of registration work in case of the absence of the sub-registrar and thus from Monday the registration work will be done smoothly.
The registration work in the state has always remained a matter of concern for the people and government in the state. It is said that it is difficult to execute registration work without the transaction of illegal money. On Friday, the ED team questioned Tripathi in connection with a matter of the sale and purchase of army land at his residence in Bariatu.
Due to this, on Friday registration work could not possible though as many as 23 deeds were expected to be registered.
