Petitions against 'Bhu Bharathi survey'

By S A Ishaqui
Hyderabad,April 17:The Integrated Land information system titled "Bhu Bharathi" which was launched by the state government with the objective of finding a solution to the land disputes in the state, has landed in a legal tangle.
The project was aimed at compiling all details of land and its titles which would enable the title holders or authorities dealing with land matters to have a comprehensive report of any title at their disposal at just the click of a mouse.
Infotech Enterprises Limited and IIC Technologies filed writ petitions in the AP High Court challenging the awarding of the contract to Speck Systems Limited by the Commissioner, Survey, Settlement and Land Records.
They alleged that commercial bids were to be opened on March 19 but were opened on March 20 and the the authorities asked them to produce flying permission of the director general, Civil Aviation, for aerial flying.
The petitioners said that none of the participants possessed the clearance from the Civil Aviation Authority and it cannot be obtained at such a short notice. They submitted that there was no justification in finalising the tenders in a hurry, particularly when the pilot project is yet to achieve minimum objectives. They urged the court to stay all further proceedings in Bhu Bharathi Scheme.
