Vigilance initiates criminal case against revenue officials and a Plantation Major

The Vigilance that had unearthed documents and survey maps with Plantation Majors – Harrisons Malayalam Ltd – as fabricated, has taken a lead in initiating criminal cases against those involved in forging the documents, including the company and revenue officials.
In the vigilance report submitted by DYSP Nandanam Pillai, it is learned that he had recommended registering cases against company officials and the registrars who were involved in the alleged forgery of document 1600/1923. The report is said to have recommended further investigation into the role of the revenue officials and to take appropriate action against them.

Nandanam Pillai who probed the authenticity of document 1600/1923, which comprised of about 26,000 acres of land registered at the Kollam Principal Registration office, found that the documents and survey maps with the company are all fabricated and have been made outside the country, especially England. They had found that the document registered in 1923 was prepared in high quality paper with John Dickinson and company water mark, which was not in use then. Moreover, the conch insignia of the Travancore royal family embossed in the paper did not tally with the insignia of that time, which was egg shaped. A marked difference between the lithographic maps submitted by the company and the government was also found.
