Court orders CB-CID probe into assignment of land to 37 persons

Special Correspondent


The judge wants the agency to submit a report in two months


CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has ordered a CB-CID probe into the orders issued by the Special Tahsildar, Assignment, house sites, Saidapet, assigning land to 37 persons at Padi on the city outskirts.

Justice A. Kulasekaran said the agency would also probe the issue of no objection certificates by the Tahsildar, and the patta and joint patta given to the petitioners. It should submit a report in two months.

The petitioners sought issue of a mandamus forbearing the Tamil Nadu Housing Board from interfering with their peaceful possession and enjoyment of their property which were part of three acres and 43 cents.

They said each of them was assigned three cents through an order issued by the Special Tahsildar.

However, the Board, without any authority of the law, was attempting to interfere with their possession.

They prayed for an interim injunction and it was granted in July.

The government advocate produced a letter issued by the Ambattur Tahsildar to the Board and said the assignment orders were found fabricated. The Board said it had sent a complaint to the Commissioner of Police.

The members of an association, which had been impleaded by the court, submitted that they were originally in occupation of the land and were evicted by the Board. They filed suits, which were disposed of by the District Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate, Ambattur.

After the government advocate brought to the court’s notice that the petitioners were carrying on construction activities, the court modified its interim order and ordered status quo.

In their affidavits, the other impleading respondents alleged that they had originally been in possession of the land, but were dispossessed. So, they filed cases in the High Court and other courts.

Mr. Justice Kulasekaran said the court was of the view that in the interest of society, the matter be directed to be investigated by the CB CID.

The judge posted the matter after two months and extended the status quo till then.
