First, Mr. Ho An Tap - the villa owner filed a lawsuit against the People's Committee of Ca Mau City.
In the lawsuit sent to the People's Court of Ca Mau province, Mr. Ho An Tap requested the Court to cancel a series of decisions, official dispatches, and notices of the People's Committee of Ca Mau city and other agencies related to the process of handling his violations.
The main content of the petition emphasizes: He wants to change the purpose of using 580m2 of land (in the area where the house was built) from aquaculture land to rural residential land in accordance with "legal regulations".
Through that, Mr. Tap demanded that the government "perform public duties" and recognize land use rights for this area.
However, the next day, in an interview with the press, Mr. Tap said that he “did not react to the government’s decisions”. He explained that he filed the lawsuit only because he had no more money to pay more than 8 billion VND, so he had to file the lawsuit.
Mr. Tap affirmed that he would "submit a petition to the Court for the Court to consider and act as an arbitrator" for him to pay the money gradually, divided into many times.
These two different explanations make many people wonder: Is Mr. Tap "playing" with the government and disregarding the law?
Suing the local government in court is a big deal, not a child's play for Mr. Ho An Tap to write one thing in the lawsuit, then answer the press in another way about the reason for the lawsuit?
In fact, the story of the "most beautiful villa in Ca Mau" illegally built on Mr. Ho An Tap's aquaculture land has been going on for two years now, but has not yet come to an end.
The cause partly stems from the “confused” and inconsistent handling of the Ca Mau City People’s Committee. This has led to the matter being prolonged, causing public outrage, creating a precedent and bad public opinion for the locality in the issue of land management as well as law enforcement.
So this time, the authorities of Ca Mau city and Ca Mau province must take strong action to once and for all handle the case - starting with the inconsistency related to Mr. Tap's lawsuit against the city.
Mr. Xi's inconsistent actions and words in filing the lawsuit need to be clarified.
And it is not only Mr. Tap himself who is suing the People's Committee of Ca Mau City. The case of "the most beautiful villa in Ca Mau" must also be brought to a strict and clear conclusion by Ca Mau Province, in order to maintain discipline and deter similar violations.
