The Tripura Human Rights Commission (THRC) has taken cognizance of a complaint filed by Anita Bin, who alleged that her family’s land was illegally mutated in favour of private individuals by the Revenue Department and the office of the District Magistrate & Collector, West Tripura.
In her complaint, Anita Bin stated that her family has been in peaceful possession of the land for generations, but the records were allegedly altered in favour of Banti Deb, Dipali Gupta, Ajoy Gupta, Bijush Gupta, and Subrata Gupta.
She further alleged that the accused have been attempting to dispossess her family while local officials, including the Tehsildar, failed to submit an enquiry report in connection with her pending Revenue Case (No. 05/2025).
The complainant also claimed that despite filing an FIR with the Superintendent of Police, West Tripura, and the Officer-in-Charge of Barjala Police Station, no action has been taken, and that she has been facing threats from the accused.
Observing that the case prima facie involves violation of human rights, including deprivation of property rights guaranteed under Article 300-A of the Constitution, the Commission noted that Anita Bin belongs to a backward community, which makes the allegations more serious.
Taking cognizance, THRC Chairperson Justice Arindam Lodh issued notices to the Superintendent of Police, West Tripura, the Officer-in-Charge of Barjala Police Station, the DCM of Barjala Revenue Circle, Sadar, and the Tehsildar of Lankamura T.K., directing them to explain why relief should not be granted to the complainant.
The officials have been asked to submit their reports within three weeks. The matter is scheduled for hearing on October 15, 2025.
