Court officials seize office property

Staff Reporter

Worth Rs.77.21 lakh

THENI: The Periakulam Combined Court officials today removed computers, furniture and other office equipment from the Department of Adi Dravidar Welfare office and other departments here on Wednesday as part of the distraint proceedings (the seizure and holding of property as security for payment of a debt or satisfaction of a claim) ordered by the Periakulam Sub Court.

To execute the order, court officials seized 5,340 movable properties worth Rs.77.21 lakh from the collectorate and dumped it a room. They have also obtained a written consent from government officials that these properties would be produced before the court when it required it. The seizure was done in the presence of petitioners Rukmani, Rajeswari, Pandiarajan, Kulluchetti, Seeniyammal and Subia and their relatives.

The Periakulam Sub-Court ordered attachment of all movable properties of the Theni district administration as it failed to settle a compensation for the land acquired by the Department of Adi Dravida Welfare.

The court had directed the Theni district administration to pay Rs.1.25 crore as compensation for procurement of 11 acres and 51 cents from six persons in Bodi Taluk to construct group houses for Adi Dravida beneficiaries (The Department of Adi Dravida Welfare had purchased the land in 1984.) R. Rajeswari along with five others had filed a case in Periakulam Sub Court stating that the compensation offered by the government was insufficient. Situation was tense in the collectorate complex in the morning.
