GPAs burdened with hefty transfer Charges

As a fallout of the representation made to the Administrator UT and Governor Punjab, Finance Secretary Shri Sanjay Kumar IAS penned the order of the Financce department on the 15th August,2008- a day Indians pay homage to their martyres who had sacrified their lives for the Free India. What a irony, the Chandigarah Administration is burdening the hapless GPAs to pay huge sums as transfer fee to0 get their flats entered in their own names. This is contradictory to the practice in neighbouring states of Punjab , Haryana and Delhi.
Haaving lost face in the matter of CWPs in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the administration simply did not resort to replicate its Substitution Policy visa-vis the holders of the instrument of the General Power of Attorney.
Chandigarh Social Welfare Council has protested this and has urged Smt. Sonia Gandhi Chairperson UPA, Shri Man Mohan Singh Prime Minister, and Shri Shiv Raj V.Patil Home Minister to intervene in the matter and direct the administration to follow rules which are applicable in adjoining states and in the light of Punjab Cooperative Act 1960, which has special provision for the regularization of the occupancy rights of the GPA.
Shri Satish Sharma further demanded that the rules being followed by Delhi in the light of the Judgement of Delhi High Court and adopted by Haryana be followed.Satish Sharma email id: sharma.ambakripa@gmail.com
