| Controversies | • Accused of Land Encroachment: In 2012, Kaneez Fatima made headlines in a land encroachment case after her purchase of 22 acres of agricultural land in Gulbarga was nullified by the Assistant Commissioner of Gulbarga. It was the former minister S K Kantha who had filed a complaint alleging that the purchase was illegal and violated the Karnataka Land Reforms Act, 1961, which prohibited the purchase of agricultural land by any person other than an agriculturist. The act also stated that the annual income of the purchaser or his/her family or of the undivided family from non-agricultural activities should not exceed Rs two lakh, for five years preceding the year of purchase. The Gulbarga tehsildar submitted a report to the Assistant Commissioner, which stated that Fatima's husband, Qamar ul Islam, ran schools and owned commercial complexes; therefore, Fatima's income exceeded Rs two lakh per annum. Consequently, The Assistant Commissioner declared Fatima's purchase of land void, observing that the purchaser had violated the provisions of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act. Thereafter, Assistant Commissioner directed the tehsildar to take over the land and mention the Karnataka Government as the owner of the land. check sources Deccan Herald |
