Karnataka High Court directs Karnataka government to create Municipal Trust Property Management System
Change
Karnataka High Court ordered the Karnataka government to set up and operationalise a Municipal Trust Property Management System that assigns Trust Property Identification Numbers and required all municipalities to prepare comprehensive inventories of municipal properties within 90 days.
Why it matters
Municipal authorities must now carry out detailed reconciliation of municipal and revenue records, and classify, risk-grade, physically demarcate and geo-tag trust properties using GIS, adding procedural steps before any change of status or transfer. State and district committees must also audit past sales, leases, transfers and encroachments and hold officers accountable for facilitation of illegal alienation, increasing enforcement and oversight of municipal land decisions.
Implications
- • Municipal commissioners must compile, correlate municipal and revenue records and submit classified, risk-graded and geo-tagged inventories of municipal trust properties within 90 days.
- • Deputy Commissioners heading district-level committees must conduct time-bound audits of past sales, leases, transfers, encroachments and land-use changes.
