Bantwal, Dec 2: Due to a mistake committed by a surveyor by changing the survey number, a property owner has suffered a huge loss.

Everest Pinto, resident of Balya in Barimar village is the property owner who is now required to visit the deputy commissioner and SP following the error by surveyor Manjegowda.

"Surveyor Manjegowda had released a notice to me on behalf of applicant Walter Mascarenhas on November 27 mentioning the survey no. 130/4P2 which is the number of the property next to him instead of stating the correct survey number of the property owned by him," Pinto said.

"The surveyor who had come to the site for a survey on December 1 had returned without conducting a proper survey. On December 2, at 9 am, the applicant Walter Mascarenhas and Robin D'Souza brought a JCB Hitachi belonging to Robi Earth Movers and illegally entered my place and destroyed the fence at my premises completely," alleged Everest Pinto.

Pinto further maintained that even the Bantwal rural police inspector Prasanna Kumar had refused to register a police complaint in this regard, thereby indirectly supporting the action.

“The incident has destroyed the fence of my 1.14-acre land of survey number 130/4P3 causing a loss of Rs 1 lac,” Pinto said.

Everest Pinto has submitted a complaint to the governor requesting for suitable action against surveyor Manjegowda and bringing him to justice.
