92‑Year‑Old Veteran Files FIR After Alleged Fraudulent Sale of His Jaisalmer Land

The case highlights gaps in land-registration procedures that left a distant Pong Dam allottee vulnerable.

Overview

  • The veteran’s family says the plot was registered in another name on June 16 and the mutation was completed later in June without the real owner being present.
  • An FIR was lodged at Jaisalmer City Kotwali after the superintendent of police intervened and police say they have sought revenue records and opened an investigation.
  • Family members allege brokers used forged identity papers and produced an impersonator to execute the sale, which local reports say fetched about ₹25 lakh.
  • The family says they were bounced between local police and revenue offices and were told mutation cancellation must be pursued in court, exposing verification gaps at sub‑registrar and tehsil offices.
  • The 92‑year‑old veteran’s age and health complicate court travel so the family has asked for proceedings to be moved to Himachal Pradesh and the case could prompt tighter checks on registrations for distant allottees.
