According to the author of the appeal, in 2021 they were offered a 1.05-hectare land plot located in Tashkent district on a share basis. It was promised that the farming enterprise operating on this land would be transformed into a limited liability company, and they would own the property as a shareholder of the company.

Based on this, the applicant states that they handed over 535 thousand US dollars.

However, according to them, even five years later:

  • the land plot has not been officially granted,

  • the shareholding has not been formalized,

  • the fate of the transferred money also remains uncertain.

How did a house appear on land where construction is supposedly impossible?

The applicant has appealed to state authorities several times. The official responses stated that this land is irrigated agricultural land according to a Presidential decree, and therefore construction work cannot be carried out on it.

It was reported that this situation was even confirmed by Supreme Court decisions.

However, the biggest question arises precisely at this point.

Because today it is reported that a multi-story residential building is standing tall in this area.

Then a natural question arises:

If construction was not allowed on this land, how was the multi-story building constructed?

Closed cases and unanswered questions

According to the applicant, they repeatedly appealed to:

  • internal affairs bodies,

  • the prosecutor's office,

  • other relevant agencies.

They emphasize that in some cases, the cases were terminated on the basis of various articles.

Additionally, the appeal alleges that:

  • fake documents were prepared,

  • applications for exclusion from shareholding appeared,

  • some investigations were not completed.

The editorial board of Effect.uz is studying the applicant's position and the provided documents regarding this situation.

This is not just about money

In this story, the issue is not just about one person's 535 thousand dollars.

Here, it is about how land relations, state decisions, and the control system are working.

If on one hand construction on the land is prohibited, the question of how residential construction was carried out on that same land requires an explanation for the public.

Appeal to official authorities

In order to clarify this situation, the editorial board of Effect.uz requests official responses from the following agencies:

— Tashkent District Hokimiyat
— Cadastre authorities
— Officials in the field of construction and housing-communal services
— Prosecutor's offices

Answers to the following questions are especially important:

  • What is the current legal status of the land plot?

  • On the basis of which decisions and documents was the construction work carried out?

  • In what manner was the applicant's claim regarding 535 thousand US dollars handled?

Transparency is the pledge of trust

To ensure public trust, transparent and reasoned answers to such issues are very important.

Effect.uz is ready to cover the positions of all parties regarding this situation and awaits the official response of the relevant authorities.

The investigation continues. Continue to follow Effect.uz.
