Singer Lucky Ali files complaint before Karnataka Lokayukta over alleged land grabbing by relatives of IAS officer | Bangalore News

The long-running civil dispute has been in the news in the past. On December 5, 2022, Lucky Ali had accused the IAS officer of land grabbing.

The long-simmering property dispute is essentially a tussle between Lucky Ali and Madhusudhan Reddy – the brother-in-law of IAS officer Rohini Sindhuri. In December 2022, Lucky Ali had alleged that his property was “illegally seized” with the help of the IAS officer and urged the Director General of Police, Karnataka to “stop this illegal activity”.

Sindhuri has insisted that the dispute had nothing to do with her. In 2022, the IAS officer said, “He is just trying to throw mud at me,” she said, pointing out that an injunction was issued against Lucky Ali in 2016, restraining him from “interfering with the plaintiff’s possession” of the property.

Her brother-in-law has claimed that the property was bought by Lucky Ali’s brother Mansoor Ali in 2012 and that he has all the documents proving his claim to the land.

The disputed property is located near Kenchenahalli in Yelahanka in northeast Bengaluru.

Ali said in his tweet in 2022 that it was a “trust property” and that “(sic) Sudhir Reddy (and Madhu Reddy) of Bangalore Land Mafia are illegally encroaching on the property. With the help of his wife, an IAS officer named Rohini Sindhuri.”

He accused the IAS officer’s family of misusing government resources for their personal gain. He claimed that they had entered his farm “forcibly and illegally” and refused to produce relevant documents. He also said he was getting “no help from the local police”.

The dispute is the latest episode in a real estate saga that dates back to the acquisition of over 150 acres of land on the outskirts of Bengaluru in 1969 by Lucky Ali’s father, the famous comedian Mehmood Ali, who died in 2004.

The land acquired by Mehmood was passed on to his six children through trust funds created in their names in the 1970s since they were still minors.

The real estate saga revolves around a labyrinth of legal battles that began when Mehmood’s children grew up – in the 1990s.

The cases the Ali siblings are fighting among themselves and with outside real estate developers are based on the alleged sale of the entire property owned by Mehmood’s family to two real estate agents in 1991 by the family’s general agent, S. Raghunath.

According to court records of cases involving the Ali properties dating back three decades, family members – including Lucky Ali alias Maqsood Ali, the second of Mehmood’s five sons – initially contested the sale of the land to the agents, but reached a settlement in court in 2008 in which the agents – Green Orchards Homes Ltd and Yeshwanth Shenoy – returned certain parts of the land to the family, including to a trust in the names of Maqsood (Lucky) and his brother Maqdoom.

As part of the Ali property settlement, transfer deeds were reportedly issued in 2011 by the brokers who had bought the property from Mehmood Ali in 1991 in favour of members of the Ali family and third parties, including the family of Sudhir Reddy, the husband of IAS officer Rohini Sindhuri.

The dispute currently revolves around differing claims by Sudhir Reddy, his brother Madhusudhan Reddy and Lucky Ali over the ownership of a piece of land in the Vasudevapura area of ​​Yelahanka.

In the meantime, Lucky Ali himself has transferred the GPA and building rights for the disputed property to another agent.

There are currently several cases pending in the courts concerning the ownership of the Ali lands and the transfer of rights or sale of the land over the past three decades.
