According to information presented in the State Register of Judicial Acts, I.K.T., as a notary, acting on the basis of an order from the Justice Department of the Issyk-Kul region dated June 13, 2003, improperly fulfilled his official duties, which led to the commission of an official crime.
The investigation revealed that on February 15, 2006, a sales contract was signed at the state notary office of the Ton district, which was executed based on a power of attorney from the Department of Agricultural Development of the Ton district, issued on February 13, 2006. The transaction involved representative T.A.K. and the head of the peasant farm "B." A.Z. Under the contract, A.K.T. sold J.A. several properties, including:
— property "T." with a total area of 94.87 square meters;
— a fuel depot with an area of 12.86 square meters and a land plot of 3,114.43 square meters;
— a mechanical workshop with a total area of 798.06 square meters and an adjacent land plot of 1,242.22 square meters.
The total value of all properties amounted to 12,995 soms. This contract was notarized by K.I.T., who, according to the investigation, made changes to the contract, altering the area of the land plot from "1,242.22 sq. m" to "20,714.08 sq. m" without the presence of the corresponding supporting documents. This led to an inflation of the area by 16 times.
Based on this contract, on June 9, 2006, a resolution was adopted by the Ula-Khol Ayil Okmotu to transfer the land plot of 20,714.08 square meters into private ownership of J.A. The power of attorney issued on February 13, 2006, was intended for certifying sales contracts concluded on March 18 and November 5, 2004. At the same time, according to the government resolution dated November 29, 2004, the Republican Center for Land and Agricultural Reform was established under the Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources, and Processing Industry, which led to the transfer of functions for privatization and denationalization of state property to the State Committee for Management of State Property. Thus, the investigation believes that the Department of Agricultural Development of the Ton district did not have the authority to privatize property.
According to Article 21 of the Law "On Notaries," notaries are obliged to perform their duties in accordance with the law and other regulatory acts of the Kyrgyz Republic. Article 37 of the same law requires the notary to verify the legal capacity of individuals and the legal capacity of legal entities involved in the transaction, as well as the authority of the representative.
According to the investigation, K.T.I., certifying contracts based on a power of attorney issued for other transactions, did not verify whether A.T. had the right to conclude the transaction on behalf of the department and did not establish that the department had no right to sell state property. As a result, a land plot of 20,714.08 square meters was removed from state ownership, causing significant damage to the state.
The state notary K.T.I. was charged with negligence. However, the Ton District Court issued an acquittal on September 23, 2025, citing the absence of a crime composition.
The Deputy Prosecutor of the Ton district filed an appeal, noting that notary K.T.I. made changes to the sales contract dated February 15, 2006, at the request of J.A., increasing the area of the land plot from 1,242.22 sq. m to 20,714.08 sq. m. This action led to the unlawful transfer of excess municipal land plots into private ownership.
Citing Articles 345 and 418 of the Criminal Procedure Code, the prosecutor requested the cancellation of the district court's decision and the imposition of a penalty on K.T.I. At the court hearing, the accused did not admit guilt, claiming that he had the right to make corrections based on the technical passport. He also noted that the contract was recognized as legal by the decision of the Ton District Court.
On December 23, 2025, the judicial panel of the Issyk-Kul Regional Court amended the district court's verdict, clarifying K.T.I.'s right to rehabilitation, while leaving the other provisions of the decision unchanged.
The administrative center of the Ula-Khol Ayil Okmotu of the Ton district was previously the village of Kara-Talaa.
