A day after the Tamil Nadu government regained possession of a 6.35-acre prime government land on Cathedral Road in Chennai, Additional Advocate-General J. Ravindran, Revenue Secretary Kumar Jayant and Commissioner of Land Administration S. Nagarajan called on Chief Minister M.K. Stalin at the Secretariat on Tuesday. Rajya Sabha MP P. Wilson also met the Chief Minister, at his camp office.
The Chennai Collectorate had, on Monday, regained possession of the land, estimated to be valued at ₹1,000 crore, which was until recently under the possession of the Agri Horticultural Society.
Based on orders passed by the Commissioner of Land Administration, the land, measuring four cawnies, 18 grounds and 1,683 square feet, was taken over by the Chennai Collectorate. The premises has been sealed by the authorities.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
