Nagpur: As the public hearing in Rashtrabhasha land lease case was conducted at Naivedyam Hall, near Ambazari on Friday by Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) Chairman Dr Deepak Mhaisekar, the city unit of Aam Aadmi Party strongly demanded the NIT chief declare Maharashtra Rashtrabhasha Sabha as a defaulter under section 88-B(1) of NIT Act 1936.
Recently the State Government has made an amendment in the NIT Act and introduced section 88 which gave the NIT to declare anybody who owes outstanding and do not pay in a stipulated time period as defaulter and action be initiated.

The issues raised by Anand were as follows:
1) NIT should act against Sabha as per the prevailing laws which it uses against the common man.
2) The NMC should immediately act on its notice of demolition of illegal construction made by the Sabha, which otherwise is very pro-active when the demolition of illegal construction made by the common man.
3) The NMC should immediately take all measures against Sabha for not obtaining completion certificate.
4) Failure on the part of Sabha for non clearance of demand sent by the NIT of Rs. 163 crores, and the property in question has been commercially used which otherwise NIT could have done and saved the exchequer for loss of crores of rupees, the NIT should immediately take possession/acquire the property.
5) NIT should immediately initiate action against sabha under section 88-B (I) of the NIT Act 1936 and declare Sabha as a “defaulter”.
