[His Highness Ayatullah al-`Uzma Imam Khomeini, May his presence endure,
As you know according to urban land Act, transfer and taking charge of urban lands for construction of residential units is vested with the Ministry of Housing and Urbanization. However, the religious judge of the public prosecutor's office stationed in Tehran Municipality in collaboration with officials of the municipality interfere in transfer of land and have ceded land to a special group without any regulation and standard despite explicit text of law and numerous objections, notifications and complaints to high judicial authorities and executive officials (which have so far had no result) So, in order to put an end to this trend which will pose irreparable problem for Tehran, and gradually afflict other cities, and also in order to cut losses of people, I hereby ask you to enjoin the the 8- Article-Command Follow-up Committee, Supreme Judicial Council, Inspectorate Organization, Justice Tribunal, and Disciplinary Court of Judges to collect al order issues for seizure of land and nullify them, to stop land grab or acquisition until settlement of the issue and prosecution of the violators, and give top priority to the case brought by this ministry against the religious judge based in Tehran municipality and its officials and deal with it urgently.

In His Most Exalted Name
The esteemed Supreme Judicial Council has to investigate carefully and quickly into what has been reported so that the violations would be prevented and keep me informed of what has been done.
