We own a land near Ambattur, during September 2008, we had applied for the Patta for our land at the Ambattur Taluk office. we were made to come to the office several times, but the officials kept denying the patta on one pretext or the other. then finally the Deputy Tahsildar asked us to do the necessary "Formalities".(the term "Formalities" means BRIBE in official parlance). we met the Tahsildar immediately, and were shocked to find that the major share goes to him only for issuing the patta. It is only that he does not demand the amount directly, and only through middlemen. We came to know that the Tahsildar and his subordinates never do anythng without receiving bribes, and by paying bribes, they would even do favours to us even going against the law. Now even after six months we have not got the patta, even though we had paid Rs.7500 to the Revenue Inspector. we had a chance to ********** several people with the same problem at the Ambattur Taluk office. One of the persons I met said that the Ambattur Tahsildar and a VAO had illegally issued a patta to a local ruling party functionary for a land owned by them for more than 20years. now the party functionary has been giving all sorts of trouble to them.
